Antica Posta

In a charming cottage that looks plucked from a field of daisies and placed on East Paces Ferry Road in Buckhead, Antica Posta delights the hungry Tuscan food-loving customers of Buckhead with its picturesque and intimate environment as well as its delicious authentic Northern Italian food. Antica Posta sits modestly, a hidden treasure, beside the Buckhead Range Rover dealership and the Toby House Antique store, in a three-story, mustard-colored building with white trim. A small clay-tiled terrace out front of this Tuscan restaurant is lined with large planters of evergreens and dainty, purple flowers.

After complimentary valet service, Buckhead customers seeking to dine on the delicious, traditional Italian cuisine served at this Tuscan restaurant and bar, enter first into a lounge room. Inside this mustard faux-finished room, the second-story ceiling is striped with raw wood support beams and amplifies the acoustics of Italian music, swing oldies and a happy, buzzing Buckhead dinner crowd dressed in business-casual attire. In this room, a cherry-wood bar for a dozen Buckhead drinkers seated in cushioned barstool dons rows of wines, ivy flower pots and Bose sound system speakers at the Antica Posta restaurant. White-clothed tables are set with blue glasses and vases holding fresh, colorful flowers. Leather tall back seats scatter color across the lounge in hues of chocolate, rust and white. Plenty of windows open on to a tree-lined view of Buckhead outside the restaurant.

At the entrance of the Antica Posta Tuscan restaurant, a warm hostess welcomes customers and seats them to one of eighty tables in the rust-colored main dining room with a fireplace, or at another fifty downstairs or thirty upstairs in the various nooks that offer Buckhead private dining rooms at the Antica Posta restaurant. Framed photography of sensual Raquel Welch portraits, lithographs of Italian cityscapes and a collection of photos of owner Marco Betti in his youth decorate the walls of this quaint Tuscan restaurant in Buckhead. Rustic chandeliers hang from ceilings with exposed support beams while Buckhead feasts on plates of sensible, scrumptious Tuscan food at dinner during the week or Saturday at lunch in Antica Posta.

Buckhead customers choose from ten Italian antipasti dishes from the salmon, sea bass and pesto carpaccio dish that represents the tri-colored flag of Italy to seared sea scallops on a chick pea puree. The attentive, knowledgable staff can recommend wines from a substantial list to couple perfectly with the tasty main course Tuscan dishes of fresh fish, juicy meats, pasta, seasonal vegetables, and savory spices that come on steamy plates to Buckhead Tuscan cuisine seekers in Antica Posta. Save room for the panna cotta with wild berry sauce or any of the other scrumptious desserts and nightcaps offered at Antica Posta, the most glorious, little Italian food jewel in Buckhead.
