Bocado reopens in its new Sandy Springs location on Sept. 20, and the restaurant features a refreshed menu that now includes pasta and wood-fired pizzas.
Located at Powers Ferry Village, owner Brian Lewis said this latest chapter of Bocado will focus on highlighting “simple, good ingredients” in its dishes. Pizzas come served on 72-hour, naturally leavened sourdough crusts made with flour imported from a small farm in Italy. Toppings like mozzarella and tangy, sweet tomatoes come from Italy’s Campania region.
In addition to pizza and entrees of lasagna and carbonara, the menu also includes wood-fired filet mignon, red snapper, and other new dishes like a lobster roll, grilled artichokes, and beef carpaccio.
One notable absence from the menu is the Bocado double-stack cheeseburger, first created by Chef Todd Ginsberg when the restaurant opened on Howell Mill Road in 2009. It became a runaway sensation and one of Atlanta’s most sought-after burgers. Lewis told Rough Draft, however, that the burger will pop up from time to time as a dinner special.
Bocado closed after 12 years on Howell Mill Road in 2021. In 2022, Lewis dropped “Burger” from the name of the Alpharetta location, hoping to return the restaurant’s menu to its origins in Atlanta. A year later, Lewis closed Bocado in Alpharetta. At the time of the closure, he announced plans to reopen Bocado in Sandy Springs.
6300 Powers Ferry Road, Sandy Springs. Open Tuesday-Saturday, 4 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Bar opens at 4 p.m., with dining service following at 5 p.m.
