As the temperature starts to drop, many Atlantans will begin loading up on their favorite carbs. Pasta happens to be at the top of the list for most of us.

This week's Best of Atlanta poll found out where you spin your fork for the perfect saucy bite.

Coming in first place is Double Zero, who aims to update the concept of the Italian-American restaurant. The sourcing of their ingredients and techniques is modern, while taking inspiration from the tenacity and originality of their ancestors.

Second place goes to Osteria Mattone with an enthusiastic vote. Experience Rome in Roswell the next time you're in the area for a soul-soothing Italian-inspired pasta experience.

BoccaLupo is an intimate space located in the heart of Inman Park that offers exquisite hand-made pastas and other Italian delicacies. This third place winner is one of Atlanta's best treasures.
