Finding kid-friendly restaurants can be an onerous task; finding ones with patios that embrace kids and well-behaved four-legged family members can seem downright impossible. Atlanta has plenty of outdoor options for dining al fresco, but some are more equipped to handle the entire family than others. Here’s a selected list of places where cups with lids and water bowls are welcome.

One thing I noticed on my return to Atlanta after a couple of years: major shifts in the local pizza scene. This new Neo-Neapolitan movement in Atlanta—“a pizza renaissance,” ventures chef Jake Pollitz at Staplehouse in Old Fourth Ward—is essentially an aftereffect of the Covid-19 pandemic. Here's how Staplehouse, Pendolino, Bocado, Indaco, Mister 01, and Lloyd’s are approaching this new movement.

Grant Wallace supplies chefs at Gunshow, Indaco, A Mano, Octopus Bar, and Seed Kitchen & Bar, and was a large supplier of pop-up Long Snake. Miles Macquarrie, a Michelin award winner for his cocktails at Kimball House, is using Wallace’s bee balm for a cocktail syrup. Bartenders flock to his farm's website for edible flowers and herb garnish ingredients.

Indaco’s zeppole offers a creative spin on the classic Italian dessert. Way more than a mere doughnut hole, it’s made with ricotta cheese, fried to order, tossed in powdered sugar, and served with seasonal accompaniments (spiced anglaise in colder months; currently cannoli cream and chocolate sauce).

Founder Steve Palmer opened the original Indaco location in Charleston in 2013. Now, he’s bringing it to his native Atlanta in a prime location: 725 Ponce, across the BeltLine from the original Sears-Roebuck building (now Ponce City Market) where his great-grandmother worked.

This year, the BeltLine takes center stage once again, with restaurants and bars popping up along the Eastside Trail, as well as in the West End. We’ll see a balance of quick comfort food spots and fine dining. Popular chefs and restaurateurs like Ford Fry, Linton Hopkins, Tal Baum, and Ron Hsu are back, bringing their creative fare to new locations, while newcomers such as Anthony Spina, Jr., hit the scene.

Indigo Road Hospitality Group—the company behind O-Ku and Oak Steakhouse—is opening its Charleston-based Italian restaurant Indaco along the Atlanta BeltLine Eastside Trail. “We take the concept of handmade pastas and wood-burning pizzas and let the chefs do what they want,” says Indigo Road founder Steve Palmer.

Steve Palmer, founder of Charleston-based Indigo Road Hospitality, has a new restaurant in the works. Located next to its Oak Steakhouse at Avalon in Alpharetta, Colletta will begin serving pizza and pasta February 5. This will be the group’s second Italian restaurant, and about 40 percent of the menu will be comprised of favorites from Charleston-based Indaco, where Michael Perez is executive chef.
