Server/Captain - Pendolino

Description

Pendolino is the new restaurant from chef-owner Kevin Maxey, debuting this spring in the Chastain Park area of Atlanta. The cuisine, Roman in spirit, though inspired by much of Italy, is also firmly rooted in the South. There is bar seating along an open kitchen and a wood-burning oven where many of the best things on the menu come from. The menu draws on the best produce, and meats grown and raised by South-Eastern farmers and ranchers to create dishes that are healthful, simple, unexpected and beautiful but not precious. Balance. We love natural wines, classic cocktails and delicious, simple food. We support small businesses, source ingredients and spirits from small producers and wines from independent vineyards.
