I recently hosted a “White Coat” dinner for my niece at Cascade Road best new restaurant NATALIE BIANCA. As a foodie, I have eaten at top restaurants around the world (Morrocco, Thailand, Toronto, Australia, etc.). Restaurant NATALIE BIANCA can more than meet or outmatch world renowned restaurants. Co-owner Courtney Rucker is friendly, and she and her staff provide first class service. My family and I were completely impressed with the wide range of tasty Southern and Mexican influenced food. Our first food board consisted of an assortment of shrimp tostada, crab cakes, fried green tomatoes, polenta, and salmon black bean quesadilla. The second board provided us with Caesar and Harvest salad with an option of various dressings. Our first Big Plate included Salmon and Grits to die for. The second Big Plate was inclusive of Bruno’s steak marinated in Mexican herbs and spices. The steak was perfectly cooked and well-seasoned. Thirdly, we enjoyed Chef Morgan’s flavorful Beef Short Rib with a house made demi and served with mashed potatoes and sauteed green beans. The food fest continued as we enjoyed two tasty desserts. Both the Banana and Sweet Potato pound cake were moist and delectable. Overall, my family rate NATALIE BIANCA as more than worthy of a Michelin star based on the elegant and exceptional food. I encourage you to try NATALIE BIANCA, which is now the hottest restaurant in southwest Atlanta. Ms. Jocelyn...
Read moreFirst time visiting, and I’m so glad I did! From the moment we walked in, the staff was warm and welcoming, and the atmosphere was inviting—a perfect spot to unwind and enjoy a great meal.
We tried a few items from the menu: fried green tomatoes, a turkey burger, and a classic burger with fries. Let’s just say, we weren’t disappointed! The food was delicious, well-seasoned, and satisfying. The burgers and fries were beautifully plated, making the experience even more enjoyable.
My only small piece of feedback is about the fried green tomatoes—not about the taste (which was great!), but about presentation. Given how well everything else was plated, I think there’s an opportunity to make them more visually appealing, really giving them a standout presence at the table. A little extra touch could make them just as exciting as the other dishes!
As I was eating, I mentioned to a friend that I really want to see this place thrive. It wasn’t a peak hour when we visited, but this spot has all the potential to be the next neighborhood gem. In fact, I only discovered it by chance while driving home—even though I live just two blocks away!
I’m looking forward to coming back and trying more from the menu. If you haven’t been yet, I highly recommend stopping by and supporting a great local restaurant! 🍽️✨

Read moreFantastic new addition to Cascade Heights and Atlanta! Come before your reservation for a house Gin & Tonic at the bar (very friendly bar tenders!). We shared the appetizer board (could be a light meal for 2 people) between the 4 of us, and had an additional Potato & Onion pancake. Flavorful & and excellent opportunity to taste most of the small plates at once.
The skirt steak was cooked perfectly, with delicious flavor as well as being very tender. The saffron rice has been perfect every time. The others enjoyed the short rib which was very tender, with delicious mash potatoes. It's a nice touch that all entrees are served with a salad course, not just salad on the side of the plate with the entree.
We shared a bit of everything from the dessert menu: locally made Vegan ice cream, the chocolate walnut pie, peach pound cake, but the star of the night was the espresso gelato.
Natalie Bianca is a great addition to the Cascade Heights community, and the Atlanta restaurant scene. The focus on service and quality meals will make this a staple...
