Also on Edgewood, the Atlanta Business Chronicle is reporting that a pizza joint called Ammazza will open this summer. Run by two brothers, Ammazza plans to take inspiration from successful Neapolitan spots like Antico, but focus on using local ingredients rather than those imported from Italy. They'll make their mozzarella in house and have around 30 beers on tap.
Campagnolo, the new Midtown eatery from Peasant Group, is opening to the public on Monday, April 9. The cozy Italian spot will serve rustic dishes with a focus on freshness, featuring locally-sourced meats, and house-made yumminess including pasta and bacon.

First reported on Eater, Community Q will open a West Midtown location this summer. The popular Decatur BBQ restaurant will fill the vacant Burger Joe's building on Marietta Street.

Mango's Caribbean Restaurant will open soon on Auburn Avenue, serving lunch and dinner. The space formerly belonged to Negril Caribbean Restaurant. While Caribbean flavor still rules in the kitchen, the dining room has undergone a total transformation.
Moxie Burger has opened in East Cobb, and according to the AJC it's just the kind of hangout that the area needs. Their menu follows the style of places like Farm Burger and Yeah Burger, with specialty burgers and loads of build-your-own options. Beef, turkey, lamb, chicken and mushroom burgers are all available. There are a few salads and hot dogs thrown in for good measure. Moxie Burger serves beer and wine.
Boca Mexican Grill is having a soft opening this weekend on Spring Road in Smyrna. Their chef comes from the Michoacan region of Mexico, and Boca is promising to bring an experience that's more than just tacos and enchiladas.
