I eat at E. 48th St. at least once a week. The place is always full. The food is delicious. The portions are large. Sinatra or Dean Martin is usually playing overhead. And when you walk in, the owner or staff will greet you by name. What more do I need to say?

I discovered this place 20 years ago and I still go there when I am not finding that special ingredient.... Charlie is a friend by now... He is of Italian origins and is trying to keep high the Italian traditions. You can find Cotechino and Lentils during Xmas time as well as Pandoro e Panettone...go for it!
My wife and I just moved into the Dunwoody area, so we checked out the E 48th Street Market. The food served through the restaurant was great -- fairly inexpensive and tasty. The house red wine was very good for being just a "house" wine.
More to the point, the grocery portion of the market is excellent. If you live in the area and want authentic Italian foods, oils, vinegar, salami, etc., then this is the place to go.

Atlanta, especially the "burbs" is not known for "ethnic flavor" in food or restaurant choices; E 48th brings some "color" to the local drab. More a market than restaurant, there are many choices of cold cuts and cheeses with some fresh baked items as well. Sandwich is good, but if you're looking for a "NY Style" portion you'd better head back to NY; otherwise a unique and interesting experience in the Deep South.

More a small Italian market than a "restaurant," the food is wonderful. They have sandwiches and soups, entrees...nothing fancy, but always fresh and always tasty. The breads are wonderful and the sandwiches are simple, but perfect.
