A vibrant hub of classic Italian eateries and ambiance, founded in Atlanta’s Westside, offering the best taste of Italy’s culinary heritage. Most notably, home of the famous Antico Original Pizza.
A taste of Italy in the heart of ATL
In a nondescript building on the Westside of Atlanta, Giovanni Di Palma built his pizzeria from scraps and stones. The exterior wasn’t much to look at, but inside held the secrets to the perfect pie. Within weeks of opening Antico Pizza Napoletana, lines of locals, visitors and celebrities formed around the block. Antico is now a name synonymous with pizza greatness.
As a pioneer of the neighborhood, Di Palma’s fame grew alongside the area’s popularity, and he created Little Italia, modeled after the historic town centers found all across Italy. Little Italia is the best place to be – in the heart of it all – with Antico Pizza Napoletana, Gio’s Chicken Italiano & Maccheroni, Caffè Antico and Bar Amalfi recreating the magnificent energy of the classic Italian street scene.
