| Description: | This hip little restaurant in the middle of Buckhead is a melodic mix of stylish surroundings and sophisticated food from Owner/Chef Gerry Klaskala and Pastry Chef Kathryn King. Aria’s menu prominently features “slow food,” patiently braised, roasted, stewed or simmered ingredients that deliver the ultimate in flavor. The restaurant was named one of the country's best restaurants in 2000 by Esquire magazine and tops local lists for best restaurant, best chocolate desserts, best food and wine pairings and most romantic. Aria is also a winner of a 2005 Distinguished Restaurants of North America (DiRoNA) Award and was named one of the top five restaurants in Atlanta by both the Zagat Survey (2002 – 2004) and the Gayot Dining Guide. In addition, Klaskala is a recipient of the prestigious Robert Mondavi Culinary Award of Excellence, an honor that is presented to just six chefs each year since 1994. |
