4 spots
Antico Pizza Napoletana
The original Hemphill Avenue pizzeria Giovanni Di Palma opened in 2009 and built Little Italia around, with a Bib Gourmand. Worth knowing: its own site claims a Michelin star from 2023, and the guide lists a Bib Gourmand, which is what we publish.
Heirloom Market BBQ
Chef-owners Cody Taylor and Jiyeon Lee bring Southern smoke and Korean flavors together in spicy Korean pork, brisket, and kimchi sides. The small room has limited seating and a strong takeout trade. Heirloom holds a Bib Gourmand in the 2025 MICHELIN Guide American South selection.
Little Bear
A small dinner-only room in Summerhill with a Bib Gourmand and a contemporary American menu that changes with what the kitchen has.
The Busy Bee Cafe
Serving since 1947 and, in its own words, one of Atlanta's most iconic Black-owned restaurants, with both a Bib Gourmand and a James Beard America's Classics award. Fried chicken, smothered pork chops and collards, west of downtown.
