AMORE E AMORE DIVES INTO NOSTALGIA WITH “UNDER THE SEA” SPRING & SUMMER THEME

Posted by Liz and John Attaway, 3/9/26

A Vintage Coastal Fantasy Inspired by the Late Professor Giovanni Ferro’s Love for the Sea

Reservations Now Available 

This spring and summer, Amore e Amore invites Atlanta to dive into a whimsical world beneath the waves. Beginning Thursday, March 5, 2026, the beloved Inman Park ristorante will unveil its latest immersive transformation, Under the Sea, a vintage-inspired, delightfully kitschy coastal escape filled with nostalgic charm, playful surprises, and the theatrical spirit that has defined the restaurant for 25 years.

Inspired by the late Professor Giovanni Ferro’s love for the sea, the dining room will be transformed into a retro underwater dreamscape layered with shimmering blue lanterns, floating jellyfish, cheeky sharks, and nostalgic seaside touches that feel like a throwback to classic beach boardwalks and old-school ocean adventures. Turquoise, Giovanni’s favorite color, sets the tone throughout the space, washing the room in playful shades of blue that evoke sunlit water and carefree summer days.

As Amore e Amore continues celebrating its 25th anniversary, the theme feels especially fitting. For a quarter century, the restaurant has built its reputation on transporting guests somewhere unexpected, turning dinner into an experience and transforming the dining room into an ever-evolving stage for imagination and celebration. Under the Sea carries that tradition forward while honoring the spirit of the man who inspired so much of it.

“This theme feels incredibly special,” says co-founder “Mama Gale” Parker. “Giovanni always loved the sea. There was something about it that made him feel joyful and free, and that sense of wonder is something we’ve always tried to bring into the restaurant. For 25 years, our goal has been to create a place where people can escape, celebrate, and make memories together. Under the Sea is a tribute to that same spirit and the man behind that inspiration.”

Alongside the immersive décor, guests can expect Amore e Amore’s signature Italian cuisine paired with playful themed cocktails, creative zero-proof libations, and plenty of surprises woven throughout the dining experience. Additional details, menus, and seasonal surprises will be announced in the coming weeks. 

Amore e Amore is located at 467 N. Highland Ave. NE, Atlanta, GA 30307, and is open Tuesday through Sunday beginning at 5 p.m. Kids ages 12 and under are welcome from opening until 7:30 p.m. For reservations or more information, visit www.amoreeamore.com.

TIO LUCHO’S PRESENTS LA ÑAPA: A PERUVIAN COASTAL CRAWFISH BOIL

Posted by Liz and John Attaway, 2/26/26

A Patio Celebration of Crawfish Season with Peruvian Coastal Flavor

Crawfish season takes over the patio at Tio Lucho’s on Sunday, March 29, as the Poncey-Highlands restaurant presents La Ñapa: A Peruvian Coastal Crawfish Boil. From 1 p.m. to 9 p.m., the afternoon unfolds as a lively patio celebration where Southern lowcountry tradition meets the flavors of Northern Peru.

Inspired by “la ñapa” (nyah-pah), meaning “a little extra,” Chef and Owner Arnaldo Castillo leans into a spirit of generosity that connects Peru to the Gulf Coast. The word later evolved into lagniappe in Louisiana, an expression of giving more than expected, and that philosophy drives the day.

Waves of all-you-care-to-enjoy crawfish arrive hot and fragrant throughout the afternoon. Each reservation includes a welcome glass of house pisco punch, followed by crawfish tossed with andouille, sweet yellow corn, and red potatoes. Peruvian coastal sides are served alongside the boil, including arroz guisado layered with chicken and spice, red beans and rice, Peruvian potato salad, and house-made ají garlic and rocoto butters for added depth and heat. The patio carries an easy, celebratory rhythm from early afternoon into evening.

La Ñapa: A Peruvian Coastal Crawfish Boil is $120 per person, exclusive of tax and gratuity, and includes all-you-care-to-enjoy crawfish, coastal sides, and a welcome cocktail. Seating is available between 1 p.m. and 9 p.m., with advance booking encouraged. Tio Lucho’s is located in Poncey-Highlands at 675 N. Highland Ave. NE #6000, Atlanta, GA 30306.
