  • "Sometimes the best dining experiences are found where you least expect them. Tucked away in downtown Opelika, this Italian restaurant was an absolute surprise in every possible way. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm, inviting, with a touch of elegance. The food was outstanding (especially the Pollo Piccata) authentic flavors, perfectly prepared dishes. And be sure to try the sweet potato. What truly set this place apart, was the service. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. It felt less like a restaurant and more like being invited over by family. This hidden gem could compete with restaurants in any major city. If you're anywhere nearby, it's absolutely worth the trip. We'll definitely be back."

  • "Superb restaurant, service & ambiance! We’ve eaten at Piedmont on Piedmont several times & recently hosted our daughter’s 21st birthday in the wine cellar. It was wonderful! We also really like the Torino bar upstairs - it has such a phenomenal atmosphere & the drinks are top notch. Every time we go to Piedmont, we feel like we’ve been transported to a fine dining establishment in a much more metropolitan area like New York City, Chicago or Los Angeles."

    — Cara B

  • "The food was excellent. I had the bolognese and warmed olives with toasted bread. I tried some of my family's pollo piccata and it was excellent as well. Our server was very sweet and pointed us toward the special, which ended up being a win. The atmosphere made it very intimate and perfect for catching up with family and friends. I would definitely go back! This is perfect for a date night, graduation, holiday or to spend time with loved ones."

  • "What an unforgettable experience! My love treated us to a private dinner in The Cellar and it was nothing short of magical. From the moment we walked in the door, we were treated like royalty, everyone was so warm and inviting, and every dish we were served had a beautiful story behind it (as well as being absolutely delicious!). The owners took the time to take us on a journey of their vineyards in Italy and shared with us the heartwarming stories of cooking these very recipes with their grandparents as children. The atmosphere was warm and relaxing, yet sophisticated and glamorous. It was a beautiful experience from beginning to end."

    — Lindsey H

  • "This is the most top notch place I’ve been to in Opelika. My wife and I came here for the first time to grab a few drinks while celebrating our anniversary. The experience was nothing short of excellent. Aside from the excellent drinks and beautiful ambience of the place, the staff provided incredible service and were extremely attentive and personable. It exceeded expectations in every way. Joe (an incredibly awesome gentleman) even gave us a tour of the place in addition to a history lesson of the property! We will most definitely return!"

  • "Had the best girls night at Piedmont on Piedmont! The whole staff was so welcoming and really went out of their way to make sure we had an amazing time. You can tell everyone there cares about what they do and takes pride in the service. The inside is beautiful and classy with such great attention to detail. From the lighting to the glassware to the way everything was presented, it felt so thoughtful and elevated."

  • "I was looking for an Italian restaurant in Opelika and this one appeared in Google searches. Restaurant is relatively new, and the menu options looked good. Our overall experience was great, the restaurant is beautiful, ambience is great. Employees were friendly and helpful, service in general was great. Food was delicious, they also offer a great variety of Cocktails that look amazing and we ordered one, just perfect! I was very excited about the dessert part since I’m a fan of Italian desserts, but the tiramisu was not the best. I shared my thoughts with them about it and they appreciated very much. I recommend this restaurant, I had great food, cocktails and the atmosphere was fantastic. We will definitely come back and try their wines, since we noticed they have a great selection of good reds."

    — Sara V

  • "I wholeheartedly recommend this exceptional restaurant! From the moment I arrived for my 6:00 reservation, I was warmly welcomed and seated promptly, setting the tone for an unforgettable experience. I was with my three daughters (ages 10, 6, and 4), and the attention to detail was evident throughout. The atmosphere was both cozy and inviting, and the service was outstanding. But let's talk about the food—wow. The bruschetta was the most authentic I’ve had, bringing back memories of my recent trip to Italy (which I visit several times a year). And the steak? Without a doubt, it’s the best I’ve had in this area. Each bite was pure perfection. I can’t wait for my next visit. If you're craving true Italian flavors, this is the place to be!"

  • "The BEAUTIFUL bar, the wonderful food and the amazing staff are three reasons not to miss this place. Add incredible music on a Friday night, and this place beats anywhere else in town. We’ll be back next week."

    — Mendy D

  • "I brought my parents in for my mom’s birthday after hearing about Piedmont on Piedmont from a friend. We had a great time and the food was amazing. We were greeted with a glass of prosecco which was delicious. While the wine list may be daunting at first, if you ask the right questions, the staff is well versed and is able to make recommendations based on what you typically drink. Definitely somewhere that I will continue to go back to. As a restaurant that holds itself to a high standard I believe that there will always be room for improvement in order to provide the service and experience that management wants to see. Everyone that we encountered was super helpful and was able to point us in the right direction if we had any questions. We were fortunate enough to visit with the owner who truly cares a lot about this place and wants nothing but the best for customers and his staff. I will continue to recommend Piedmont on Piedmont to friends and family and I am excited to see this place grow as they continue to get their name out there."

  • "This is undoubtedly the best dining experience in the Auburn/Opelika area. Our only regret is we did not try this place sooner. The food, atmosphere, and service were phenomenal. Our servers are truly who made our night here unforgettable. Don’t hesitate to try this place!"

    — Matthew S

  • "Wow. This is the nicest place in Auburn/ Opelika. The staff's knowledge, service and enthusiasm for their jobs was amazing. Hands down the best service I have experienced in the area, on par with fine dining in major cities. The vermouth selection is impressive and I tried a few, honestly I was surprised at how good just straight vermouth can be. My cocktail was perfectly made, with the vermouth of my choosing. I also had a delicious pasta dish with a perfectly paired wine, per staff recommendation. I highly recommend this delightful place."

    — Patricia S

  • "Our second visit, and even better than the first. That’s saying something, because we were blown away the first time. This is an experience of food and wine - lovingly prepared and presented as if with family. Amazing! Congrats Ashley, John and team!"

    — Steve S

  • "I recently had the pleasure of dropping in and enjoying a fine glass of wine at this fantastic establishment, and I can't recommend it enough! One of the standout features is the incredible natural light that fills the space, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere during the day. It's the perfect backdrop for enjoying all that Piedmont on Piedmont has to offer. The food options are absolutely superb in addition to the wine and cocktails. I had the chance to try one of their paninis, and it was out of this world—crispy, fresh, and packed with flavor. The menu is full of flavorful options that pair perfectly with their impressive selection of wines. The team here really made my visit even more memorable. If you're in the area, this place is a must-visit. Great food, great wine, and an atmosphere that's second to none—what more could you ask for?"

    — Rob A

  • "Let's just say, my wife and I will be regulars. We stopped by somewhat impromptu on a Thursday evening to have a cocktail, but were in awe at the atmosphere and staff! We ended up with a couple of glasses of wine and a night to remember! We look forward to our next visit!"

    — Patrick C

  • "The food was great and the staff were even better. They went out of their way to talk to us and make us feel special. It was an experience along with just a dinner. We will for sure be back and will be bringing friends and family."

The food was excellent, the service was great, and the atmosphere was comfortable. Would be great for a special anniversary or date night."

    — JD T

  • "This was such a nice place. I visited with a large group of friends and the husband and wife owners were so welcoming and kind to us. We were sat in the large wine cellar room which was so beautiful. The food was pretty good and the bar upstairs was such a nice and intimate atmosphere. We enjoyed drinks and music for hours. Great bartenders!"

    — Ahrielle P

  • "WOW. The staff was incredible, the food was maybe even better than the exceptional service. John and Ash (the owners) made a point to make us feel at home. Our first time coming felt like we’ve been going there as regulars for years. The Italian is some of the best I’ve had, highly recommend the pollo picatta and the smoked ole fashioned. This will be a staple for my family in the future. I truly loved everything about it. The food, restaurant style, vibe, drinks, and service were all fantastic."

    — Connor R
