Provino's Is Perfect for an Italian Meal and Experience
You'll enjoy classic Italian food, plus you can plan a hit on a mob rival or bribe a politician in one of the dark booths
If you believe the movie and pop culture cliches about Italian restaurants, then the best will be small and dark. All seating will be away from the windows and quiet booths lining the walls. They’ll be the perfect place to enjoy a large, traditional meal, all in surroundings perfect for plotting violence against a mob rival, bribing a local politician or conducting an illicit amorous rendezvous.
Plus the classic Italian meal piled high with pasta and protein will be served from a family-operated kitchen. And your table attended by waiters who give you attention without hovering over your table and talks.
If that’s also your idea of a great Italian restaurant, then drop into Provino’s in Kennesaw, one of seven family-owned locations operating in the Atlanta area since 1977.

Friendly Service, No Rush
We stopped in for a Friday lunch, our first return visit since the pandemic. The fact that much remained unchanged about the location, food and service was one of the delights of the visit. We were greeted and attended by friendly staff. Service was prompt and consistent without feeling rushed, and the large variety of classic dishes were just what we craved on a cool winter day.
Settling into a large, comfortable booth, we appreciated that we were surrounded by other diners, but still able to enjoy private conversations. Families, shoppers, seniors and businesspeople surrounded us. In other rooms, a few large parties enjoyed birthday parties and other gatherings. We didn’t witness any plotting, bribing or illicit activities, but then, we were focused on making food selections from the broad menu, so who knows?
