710 Peachtree Street
Atlanta, GA 30308
I surprised Katy for her birthday with an evening at the Fabulous Fox Theatre. Located only a block away from the Fox, Baraonda caters to show-goers who are looking for a good meal but still want to make it for curtain call. The menu offers an array of classical Italian dishes from antipasti and insalate starters to main courses such as veal scaloppine, but what caught our eye was the variety of pizza choices.
While getting excited for the upcoming show, we munched on marvelous arugula, pancetta, and caramelized shallot salads with a lemon dressing, a refreshing start to the night. Meanwhile, as our pizza was delivered, the mozzarella, red peppers, olives, goat cheese and basil aromas from the Ciociare turned heads throughout. Because both of us love red peppers and olives the decision for this pizza was a cinch, the true test was how to chow it down without turning your favorite Fox Attire into a new Jackson Pollock of fresh tomato sauce.
Even if you aren't going to see The Sound of Music at the Fox, this place is wonderful to sit out on the patio, have a glass of wine, slice of pizza, and people watch on Peachtree Street. If it weren't for the flashing marquee of the theatre, the experience might even resemble Italy.
