Avize brings northern Italy to the South in delicious fashion
At Avize in Atlanta's west midtown, the Alps feel like they are in the South. The gold accents and stuffed mountain goat dominating the center of the dining room are a pretty convincing reason to think so too. The restaurant's menu is hyper-seasonal and inspired by flavors originating in northern Italy to Germany's Bavarian region. This unique dining experience is reimagined with Georgia's local produce and some ingredients like figs and dandelion greens are grown in an on-site community garden. As director of beverage and hospitality, Taurean Philpott emphasizes there are a lot of things that grown in Georgia that also call the high elevation areas of central Europe home.
