The Americano

Dining at Americano Buckhead is exceptional from start to finish. A complimentary valet greets you, setting a seamless tone for the evening. The elegant and inviting ambiance enhances the experience. Our server, Augustus, provided attentive and knowledgeable service, guiding us through the menu with genuine enthusiasm.The appetizers were culinary delights: divine, fresh oysters; perfectly cooked, rich wild mushrooms; a standout shrimp cocktail with a tangy kick; and tender, flavorful meatballs. Every aspect of the meal was impeccable, showcasing exquisite cuisine and exceptional hospitality.

I was soooooooooooooooo excited to try Scott Conant's, The Americano. However, it left a little to be desired. The menu was small I thought, but I don't need a lot of selections, it makes it too hard to decide lol. It's pricey and portions are of course, small but cute. We settled on:Bread for the table: which came with butter that looked like a round mold of spicy brown mustard. It didn't taste like mustard thankfully but had a smoked flavor and was very light and airy. Shrimp cocktail app: 4 jumbo shrimp cooked well and good flavorScallops entree with corn, zucchini, and tomatoes: the veggies were good but the scallops were sooooooooooo salty they were inedible. Had to send them back.Side of wild mushrooms with jus: pretty good Blueberry cheesecake: I'm not a big dessert fan, but this was delicious. Not too sweet or heavy or rich like cheesecake can be, which I lovedRaspberry gelato: was okAfter the scallop debacle, our server Kat had the manager come over who offered to get us different entrees, but the wait for everything had already taken so long and we were too tired to wait for replacement entrees, so we decided to just get dessert which wouldn't take nearly as long, and it didn't. Kat did provide good service overall, it was just such an inexplicable long wait for seafood in a restaurant that had only 4 other tables besides ours filled. They did remove the two scallop entrees from our bill and Kat brought out a cute lil plate with bon bons which we also were not charged for. Overall, I would say they did make it right. So I hate to say this, but I will skip this restaurant the next time I'm in Atlanta. 6/10

Not sure how to write about my lunch, I have mixed feelings. Placed my order and I almost left due to the very long wait for my appetizer and wine. The waiter kept walking passed my table and never said anything about the wait. The wine finally came. Very good malbec, at $17 a glass I was glad it was. The appetizer came, It was the wrong one. Sent it back. Told him to forget about it cause I was getting a burger and fries soon. Ordered the artisanal bread and smoked butter. I wasn't very impressed, it looked like plain old Italian bread, not artisanal. I ordered the burger medium well, it came out medium. It was good so I didn't say anything. I asked for fries without salt, they came with salt. By the time my new fries came I was done eating the burger. the burger was huge! Tender and thick!Roll was toasted perfectly. Lettuce, tomato, pickle. The burger and fries were pretty tasty. When I got the bill I noticed that I wasn't charged for the glass of wine. I assumed it was to make up for botched food order. All in all, this visit wasn't a good first impression. But... I'm willing to give them another try. Everyone has an off day.The wine was good, and the burger was very good. It'll be even better if I can get it medium well! Oh yeah, the ambiance was a bit romantic, a bit upscale. I could tell the place can get pretty noisy with a full house though.

First time coming to The Americano. The interior is aesthetically beautiful. The cocktails were very tasty. We ordered the ribeye 30oz, puree potatoes, macaroni, and asparagus. The food was excellent. The macaroni was cooked to perfection. On the other hand, I don't think I will be returning based on the service. When we arrived, the hostess immediately addressed us with a dismissive attitude claiming that our reservation had been cancelled because she was (mistakenly) confident that we were over 15 minutes late. She later acknowledged that she was mistaken, but nonetheless a FRONT DESK server should not address customers that way - it could have been handled better. Then later, our server said jokingly to my fiancé that he looks old. I understand he said it jokingly, but I found the comment to be unnecessary. The food and ambience are great, but the service could be better.

Why not a fancy night out in Atlanta?! I thoroughly loved this hotel restaurant combination the restaurant was beautifully decorated. It was gorgeous. However, I did have a problem with the service. It was very slow. Our server itself was fine. I just don't feel like for the quality of the dining experience the servers are prepared for that Quality of service anyways moving onto the food we had a chef tasting of cheese with a fake jam on toast. It was OK nothing to be surprised about we did try the tuna tartare, which was amazing beautifully cooked. The in-house fresh bread was very good. The broccolini was delicious, then we moved onto the steak. The steak was off by temperature if you ordered medium you got medium well if you ordered medium well you got well done. We advise the manager on staff that the chef was over cooking a steak and just to let them know. But other than that I would love to revisit again I think this restaurant has so much potential and it is delicious and I completely forgot about the mac & cheese. The mac & cheese was Divine. I was thoroughly impressed.

We had breakfast here two mornings. Our server was very nice. We had him both mornings. The vibes were very classy. The frittata was very delicious and I did the breakfast plate the next day.

During my trip to Georgia, I came here for dinner. It is located in a hotel so there is valet or self parking, self parking is validated through the restaurant so it's free. I had Caesar salad, branzino with mac & cheese and two drinks (Arno- cognac based, and a manhattan).... Everything was incredible! The ambiance was ultra sexy, warm and inviting. I would definitely visit again for a special occasion dinner.

Ambience is beautiful. Food wasn't as good as I thought it should've been. Americano is an Italian Steakhouse so with that being said, the pasta lacked flavor. I've been to plenty of Italian steakhouses and this just didn't do it for me. I have the bolognese and my friends had the Campanella. They ended up sending theirs back bc it was overly saturated with oregano. Our waitress, Desiree was very friendly and knowledgeable.Overall: 7.5Food: 6Ambience: 8.5Service: 9

What a cool but beautiful restaurant. Reminds me of New York and the food was delicious. I had the sea bass and it did not disappoint. Service was amazing. Can't wait to return.

It just so happened that I was in town the same night as Scott Conant. I love him, therefore I needed to dine at his restaurant and hope to meet him. The Americano is an elevated hotel restaurant. The bar was extremely busy, but the dining room only had about 10 guests. We were there for an earlier than usual dinner (the sun was just starting to set). I asked the staff at the host stand if Scott was around as a joke. They said yes! I could really see him in person? Very cool. Our server was just as nice and friendly as the hosts were. She said, "I heard you want to meet Scott?" Is this foreal? Yeah, it was...she said she would send him to our table. Fan girl activated. I ordered the meatball with the pasta al pomodoro. My date ordered the roasted half chicken. Scott came out. He is a beautiful man. He was wearing a dress shirt, jeans, an apron, and Jordans. And he was working the room. I actually thought he knew some of the diners, for how long he spent at each table. When he got to our table, we chatted and laughed, he asked what we ordered, we took photos. He is very gregarious. If you're still reading this "blog post" about my love for Scott Conant, I am impressed. ON TO THE FOOD! The roasted chicken was good. I wish I'd ordered that instead of the pomodoro. My pasta was terribly salty. The lack of salt from the meatball balanced it out. Scott surprised us and came back to our table to ask how the food was. I lied to him. This is my sad claim to fame. 5 stars for Scott Conant, 3 for the food, 4 for ambience.
