Welcome to Episode 15 of the Living Noire Luxe Food Series — where luxury dining, sisterhood, and Atlanta’s most talked-about restaurants meet thoughtful, real-time reviews.
This time, we visited Yeppa, an Italian restaurant in Buckhead Village, known for its lively energy, modern design, and “see-and-be-seen” vibe. The atmosphere delivered — chic, vibrant, and full of buzz — but the food leaned more toward good than great.
We began with the Rosemary Sea Salt Focaccia, thin and crispy with soft spots that surprised us in the best way — we’d go back for that bread alone. The Polpettine (Wagyu & pork meatballs) were flavorful and tender, though we wished for a bit more Italian seasoning. For entrées, we tried the Lasagna and Cacio e Pepe — hearty portions, satisfying, and nicely presented. The Branzino paired beautifully with the pasta, flaky and light, finished with lemon-kissed green beans.
For drinks, we ordered the Niente Spritz, a spirit-free option that looked great but tasted like flat lime soda — definitely not a repeat. Dessert turned things around: the La Nutella (crispy focaccia with warm Nutella and sea salt) was indulgent and comforting, while the Stracciatella left us puzzled — great flavor but off texture.
Overall, Yeppa served a solid meal in a beautiful space — we’d “tell Mom” about it, but we’re not rushing back for seconds.

Good morning Kim and Key. Happy Monday 😎 If the mocktails ain't hitting, we are not bringing Mom! 🤣 Key that was not the cheesecake you are used to eating! You both need to go to Italy and have a meal. Once you do you will never eat at an Italian restaurant in the US again!
We’re back with another episode of the Living Noire Luxe Food Series! This time, we tried YEPPA… a modern Italian spot here in Atlanta. 🍝✨
From the Wagyu & pork meatballs to the branzino and focaccia bread, there were definitely some standout moments… and a few that missed the mark 👀. Watch until the end to see how YEPA scored on the Mom-o-Meter!
Would you bring your mom here or just tell her about it? Let us know below ⬇️

These videos regulate my nervous system
Good morning sunshine’s, happy Monday. I love the outfits. Key, I will be recreating your look with colorful scarf as a choker.😘
Yeppa is in my neighborhood and it is one of my suggestions, a few months back (although I still have not been.) Ironically, I was literally walking around the french festival that afternoon; our path may have crossed while you all were having lunch.
Don’t forget to try Poor Calvin’s. Be sure to get the pound cake
This seems like a cute lunch spot. Enjoyed. Thanks for sharing 😊
