Some of our favorites include:

• Cafesano in South Lakes Village Center
  For quick-casual family-friendly dining we head to Cafesano in South Lakes Village Center. It’s terrific for lunch on the patio or a relaxed and easy dinner. Their hummus is the best! The menu items are full of freshness and bold flavor profiles from Italy and the Mediterranean and appeal to vegetarians and meat lovers alike.
• Ariake on Glade Drive
  Adjacent to Hunters Woods Shopping Center is Ariake. It is a family owned business specializing in Japanese cuisine. The sushi is a stand out! We particularly appreciate that it’s unique and friendly. The food is delicious, and the staff is always welcoming.
• Not Your Average Joe’s at The Spectrum
  For good food, great service, and a comfortable place to stop for drinks, lunch, or dinner head to Not Your Average Joe’s. They have interesting variations on a variety of menu options. The menu changes seasonally. Their focaccia bread is worth the trip alone! We appreciate that they also highlight local charities and social service organizations with contributions monthly.
• Gregorio’s in North Point Village Center
  Head for Gregorio’s Trattoria to get hearty Italian food. This place has a cheerful neighborhood atmosphere. You’re never disappointed in what you order and never go home hungry!
