"This restaurant was recently renovatated, and now is more open, brighter, and contemporary. The kitchen is now visible from the dining room. I would particularly
recommend the goat cheese agnolotti, which was not what I expected. It was very light with a great flavor profile, one of the best pastas in Atlanta. The veal loin was wonderfully seasoned, a marked improvement on an earlier dish. Be warned that the valet
parking is not complimentary."

LPC is now so much better than it was during the last two years and on par with the original cooking that put them on the map."

"Not sure what is going on here, but this is not the same restaurant we have been to in the past. On a Saturday night there were at most 6 tables of people and 2 at the bar. The wait staff was terrible, our waiter had 2 tables and he was sweating. Drinks to forever and came incorrectly made. With the exception of the hostess it appeared to be everyones first night and they had come from a fast food background. The appetizers were great, pasta's and entrees were forgetable (had they not be very expensive, for what they were, BLAND). The kitchen found flavor for the appetizers (which were quite inventive), but the entrees seemed to lack even salt (or any seasoning at all). It appears they have lost all their staff and are planning to close!"

"I recently heard that LPC had revamped. I'd been to the old location, and while the food was good, it was very $$$, so was glad to find that LPC is much more affordable than it used to be. I first gave it a shot a few Fridays ago when some girlfriends and I went to take advantage of the $5 pizza from 5-7-- tried all 3; absolutely delicious. My husband and I made it back this wkn and had a fantastic experience. The service was top notch and the food was memorable and delicious. We started with the brussel sprout salad, which went perfectly with a crisp glass of white wine. Next, the daily bruschetta -- salmon, smoked in house. Yum! LOVED the squid ink pasta, goat cheese agnolotti melted in your mouth and salmon entree was great. GO!"

"Food and service was amazing. The ambiance was not my taste - music and lighting. I would recommend that they update their music and dim the lighting. Other than that, it was fabulous. Their salads are very unique, fresh and yummy. Try the goat cheese ravioli and you will not be disappointed!"

"The food was excellent as well as the service. The meat ball appetizer was generous and very tasty with the added unexpected sweet pepper added to the sauce. The papparadelle was also very generous and just right, not overcooked.
It was a suprise to be in a quiet restaurant for a change! Being able to talk without shouting should be every good restaurant's goal."

"We enjoyed a fabulous dinner at LPC. First, the staff is terrific! I asked a Q about a cocktail and the barkeep came right out to share his thoughts. The chef came out twice to chat, including sending one of our foodie foursome home with tarragon salt. Salads were truly fantastic--best beet salad I've had in years (rich, sweet diced beets paired with crunch of nut and cream) and a super-fresh brussel sprout salad that was very innovative. Very tasty butternut squash ravioli and a short rib done to perfection, with a reduction that was perfect for the polenta. Rich, fab chocolate cake for dessert."

"This restaurant used to a cozy place with a fresh take on Italian, great service & wines. It is clearly under new management. The menu is uninspiring. The pizza was tasteless. The pasta carbonara boasted home-cured pancetta; however, it lacked the saltiness that should have complimented the otherwise bland sauce. The lights were so bright. After another table complained they did adjust them. The first two glasses of wine were stale and we sent them back. Where we sat looked more like a middle-of-the-road hotel restaurant than a chic, urban eatery. The seasonal gelatto lacked creaminess and taste. Disappointing considering that this was one of our go-to restaurants in Midtown Atlanta."

"My boyfriend and I loved LPC when Chef Logue was preparing the best pastas in the city! Since the transition we were hesitant to spoil our memories as we knew the restaurant had gone in another direction. We decided to try it out this past weekend with mixed results. The more casual atmosphere was nice but is at odds with the Italian cuisine as the new decorations are reminiscent of a pub/golf club than of a casual Italian eatery. The food, while not bad, has most definitely lost the elevated quality it held under Logue. The complex, heavenly pastas have been replaced by poor replicas that do not live up to the originals. The appetizers are good though Americanized. Service was good and friendly. Overall not bad, but likely not returning."

"We loved LPC! The four of us shared everything and had 4 courses including the unbelievable Todd's meatballs and the brussel sprouts. The short rib was so tender and the pyramid pasta incredible. Dessert was creative and delicious. Service was perfect and good fun was had by all, a great night out with friends. LPC is now even better than La Pietra Cucina which was always a favorite of ours."
