Signature Dishes to Savor
A must-try at Padella is the Fettucine Alfredo - an indulgent dish with homemade pasta smothered in a creamy, buttery sauce. The texture of the fettuccine is perfectly balanced, allowing the sauce to cling just enough, creating a rich and satisfying bite. Another signature dish that shines is the Osso Buco, a tender veal shank slowly braised to perfection. The meat is so delicate it practically falls off the bone, while the sauce, infused with white wine, vegetables, and aromatic herbs, is nothing short of flavorful magic. For seafood lovers, Branzino-a Mediterranean sea bass-grilled to golden perfection, with a crispy skin and a delicate, flaky texture, is a true standout.
But don’t just take my word for it. Local diners rave about the friendly service and the vibrant atmosphere of the restaurant. One reviewer shared, “The Osso Buco was phenomenal, and the staff made us feel like we were dining in Italy itself. The ambiance is intimate, yet lively-perfect for any occasion!”

“ Came here on a Saturday night to try something different than usual. Dining in at a hotel. It was around 8pm when we arrived. We did have to wait about 2 minutes till we were seated. Our server was a lady named Karen. Very nice lady! She took our orders pretty quickly, and did make sure we were taken care of. We did order the meatball appetizer, and it was pretty tasty. Our main course arrived after a good bit of time waiting, but it was nice and hot, and it tasted great. Again our server Karen did do a great job of making sure we were well taken care of. Very quiet place to eat. It does have a bit of an open sky light window side, which would look nice during the day/evening, but since we did arrive late there was not much to be seen. Possible suggestion to light the outdoor area since it does look pretty nice from the photos of others. Eating at a hotel I'm sure would be the last thing someone would think to do, but glad I gave it a shot. Awesome food! ”
“ Chef John is awesome! He's been putting a lot of effort on rennovating the place and the menu. I hope his effort pays off and this place will gain more tractions. They're changing the name to Modern Provision too. ”
“ Excellent breakfast (try the American, the Omelette, the Egg White Omelette, the French toast), and service (Tofika is wonderful). Bar selection and service is also very good. Would return, and recommend. ”
“ I ordered the salmon dinner that had risotto and broccoli and garlic bread appetizer. It was so good and the risotto is some of the best I have ever had!!! If you are staying at the Hyatt Regency Marietta or work around the area, eat at this restaurant. You will not be disappointed. ”
“ Surprisingly delicious! I ordered the Salmon and my love ordered the Airline Chicken. Both entrees were AMAZING!! You can tell the food was cooked to order as it was piping hot. The servers were Karen and Sandra. Excellent and attentive servers! The bartender, Lawrence, was funny and helpful! You won't go wrong to eat ”
“ This is probably the most elegant restaurant that I have experienced in a hotel. The bar and dining room and the view are all first rate. ”
“ Every time I come here to eat the food is always good and the service is too! I really love the peaceful setting with the waterfall outside cascading down to the pond. It is never to crowded to not be able to enjoy the conversation with your party. ”
