Published on August 1, 2024

Buckhead’s Amalfi Cucina & Mercato now boasts an expanded patio and fresh brunch options, perfect for enjoying a taste of the Amalfi Coast all season long.

Amalfi Cucina & Mercato, a classic Italian eatery, has revealed a stunning makeover of its Buckhead patio, now designed as a serene outdoor retreat echoing the charm of dining on the Amalfi Coast. Alongside this transformation, the Buckhead venue is thrilled to introduce a fresh Saturday Brunch Menu and extended operating hours.

Following the enhancement of its verdant outdoor dining area, now crafted to evoke the tranquil charm of the Italian coast, the patio now accommodates an extra 60 guests. This expanded space is ideal for intimate gatherings throughout the summer, fall, and into the holiday season.

“We continually strive to provide the best-in-class hospitality for our patrons and we’re thrilled to offer a new Saturday Brunch at our Buckhead location,” said Owner and Founder Stephen de Haan. “The design of the restaurant and newly renovated patio space was inspired by our many trips to the Amalfi Coast and Capri, Italy and reflects the sights, sounds, aromas and tastes of their al fresco dining atmosphere. We’re proud to offer our patrons a truly authentic Italian culinary experience unlike anything else in Atlanta.”

Patrons of Amalfi Cucina & Mercato can anticipate an authentic Italian dining experience, characterized by elegant semi-circular booths, custom wrought iron chandeliers, and grand olive trees gracing the main dining room, all while savoring genuine Italian cuisine.

The new Saturday Brunch menu showcases distinctive offerings such as the Smoked Salmon Benedict, featuring smoked salmon, poached eggs, cream cheese, capers, and hollandaise sauce on a toasted bagel with breakfast potatoes. Guests can also enjoy the Breakfast Pizza, a Quattro Formaggio pizza topped with Prosciutto di Parma and a sunny-side-up egg, or the Bread Pudding French Toast, made from their house-made bread pudding dipped in French toast batter, and served with orange slices, whipped cream, and maple syrup. Brunch enthusiasts can also indulge in an Aperol Spritz Tower, which includes eight glasses of Aperol, Rocky’s Spirit, Mionetto Prosecco, and soda for just $50.

The menu also features beloved classics such as Chicken Parmigiano, Chicken or Veal Marsala, and award-winning Neapolitan-style pizzas like the Margherita Carnevale, Tartufo e Funghi, and their signature Pizza Amalfi, topped with San Marzano sauce, spicy sausage, peppadew peppers, caramelized onion, house-made bacon jam, and fresh mozzarella. Recognized by Food Network as one of the Best Pizzas in America’s Biggest Cities and the only Georgian member of the prestigious Association Vera Pizza Napoletana (VPN), their pizzas are a standout. Guests can also savor shareable appetizers, fresh salads, traditional pastas, and unique desserts crafted from high-quality Italian ingredients.

Amalfi Cucina & Mercato offers an extensive bar selection, featuring local beers on tap and craft cocktails like The Amalfi Frosé and The Old Fashioned, made with freshly juiced ingredients and expertly mixed by their skilled bar team. Their wine list, curated by a sommelier, includes selections from Tuscany and Piedmont in Italy as well as notable new world wines, all chosen to perfectly complement the menu.
