ATLANTA - Atlanta's longest-running Italian restaurant gets new additions:
It hasn’t been an easy few years for businesses along Atlanta’s Cheshire Bridge Road, but the city’s longest-running family-owned Italian restaurant is still going strong.
This morning on Good Day Atlanta, we revisited a longtime favorite of discerning diners in Atlanta: Nino’s Italian Restaurant. The restaurant first opened in 1968 and was taken over by Antonio Noviello in 1982. Now, Noviello’s daughter Alessandra and her husband Micah call the shots, balancing the dimly lit, old-school legacy of the restaurant with some bright new additions aimed at bringing in new audiences.
One of those additions is a new bar, which was created by Alessandra as a way to honor her father’s hometown of Sapri and the bar there (called Dopo Lavoro) which was owned by her grandfather. Photographs on the wall highlight the family tree, and the decor is meant to evoke the sun-drenched charm of the Amalfi Coast. The Nino’s team has also launched a lunch and brunch menu, which they say showcases a lighter side of the restaurant’s cuisine.
Nino’s Italian Restaurant is located at 1931 Cheshire Bridge Road in Atlanta. Dine-in hours are 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. for lunch and 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. for dinner on Mondays through Thursdays, 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, and 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. for brunch and 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. for dinner on Sundays.

New foster care tax act helps young adults
Caring for foster children needs to be a priority, and a new Georgia law is providing funds to help them succeed through a new tax credit program. Fostering Success Act executive director Heidi Carr and former foster youth Mike Conger sat down with Alyse Eady to discuss the life-changing initiative.
Georgia's new foster care tax credit program: As of July 1, Georgia law changes under this new tax credit program, and taxpayers and companies may donate unlimited amounts and wipe out their entire state income tax owed to instead help young adults who often wind up in poverty. The nonprofit Fostering Success Act channels monies to former foster youth who have aged out so they may attend college or technical school and other related expenses.
