Ippolito's Italian Restaurant

The first Ippolito's opened in 1988 as the idea of Toni and George Ippolito. The recipes of their grandma, mom and dad inspired this family-style Italian restaurant, with homemade garlic rolls and sauces made fresh daily from scratch. Situated on the corner of Abernathy and Roswell Road, the Sandy Springs location became a huge success after opening in 1993. Try an appetizer like the fried calamari and a lunch or dinner choice such as shrimp rigatoni or veal parmigiana. Ippolito's also offers salads, calzones, pastas and pizzas. Visit the Great Park at Morgan Falls--just a short drive from the restaurant--for a walking trail by the Chattahoochee River or the public golf course. There is also a picnic shelter and playgrounds.
