One of our favorite things to do in the winter is to spend time with friends or family over a delicious pasta meal in a warm, cozy restaurant. Fresh pasta is such a comforting food  — especially when it's cold outside. With so many excellent restaurants in the Atlanta area, it's easy to get decision fatigue when trying to decide where to go for dinner. To help narrow down your choices, our real estate agents put together a list of some of their favorite Italian restaurants in Atlanta serving up your favorite pasta dishes.

• BoccaLupo - 753 Edgewood Ave. NE, Atlanta, GA 30307
  Low-key and intimate are the best words to describe BoccaLupo, an authentic restaurant in Inman Park serving up Italian-American cuisine. In addition to some delicious pasta dishes, BoccaLupo also offers a really casual vibe — making it a great place to either catch-up with friends or have a romantic date. They also have a full bar with classic cocktails, wines, and beer. Reservations are recommended, and takeout is also available.
  
  
• Sotto Sotto Restaurant - 313 N. Highland Ave. NE, Atlanta, GA 30307
  For a cozy spot with northern Italian cuisine and an all-Italian wine list, you must try Sotto Sotto. Chef Riccardo Ullio has worked at several of the most prestigious Italian restaurants around Atlanta. The tortelli di Michaelangelo Buonarroti is a popular choice, but the menu is fairly large so you may have a hard time choosing. Takeout orders are available by phone if you'd prefer to enjoy your pasta at home.
  
  
• Pasta Da Pulcinella - 1123 Peachtree Walk NE, Atlanta, GA 30309
  We all love pasta, but part of the appeal of an Italian restaurant is the dining experience itself. Few dining rooms are as cozy as Pasta da Pulcinella, a small authentic Italian restaurant in Midtown Atlanta. House specialties include Tagliatelle Verdi Alla Bolognese, Ravioli Di Funghi, and several other authentic pasta dishes. Takeout is also available.
