Carbonara Trattoria

Four wines. That's the list. At an Italian trattoria in Dunwoody, you'd hope for at least a passing nod to the country whose cuisine inspired the name — a Barolo, a Vermentino, maybe a Verdicchio — but instead we get a quartet that reads more like an airport duty-free shelf than a curated program. It's not a bad four bottles; it's just a very small ask.

The list offers exactly one genuine Italian expression: the Uccelliera Brunello di Montalcino, which is a legitimately serious wine from a well-regarded Montalcino producer. The Tre Sotto Bolgheri Rosso gives you a Super Tuscan-adjacent pour that at least stays in Italy. Then there's The Prisoner from The Prisoner Wine Company — a California Zinfandel-based blend that's popular for a reason but feels like it wandered in from a steakhouse — and The Mascot, another California red from the same orbit. Two Italian bottles, two California crowd-pleasers, zero whites, zero bubbles, zero by-the-glass information. For a pasta-forward Italian restaurant, the absence of any white wine is genuinely puzzling.

By-the-glass options are not documented anywhere we could find, which means we can't tell you whether any of these four bottles are even poured by the glass. If you're hoping to try a couple of different things across a meal, that information gap alone is a problem worth knowing before you sit down.
