Staff Report From Georgia CEO

Tuesday, May 20th, 2025

Yeppa Studios, the hospitality group behind Atlanta’s Yeppa & Co., Storico Fresco and Forza Storico, is set to open a second location of Yeppa & Co. tomorrow, May 20 at Junction Krog District, Portman’s Class-A office building fronting the Atlanta Beltline. Known for its lively atmosphere and Italian flavor, Yeppa & Co. first debuted at Buckhead Village in February 2023 and has become a go-to convivial space where hospitality, connection and the joy of shared experiences come together.

A place where guests can enjoy great food, drinks and community, the new Beltline location will open with a dinner-service-only menu from 5-11pm Tuesday-Friday and all-day offerings from 11:30am-11pm on Saturday and 11:30am-10pm on Sunday. The menu will feature taglieri, panini, insalate, antipasti, pizza focaccia, pasta – including Cacio E Pepe, Tagliatelle Alla Bolognese "Di Zaghini" and Tortellini Con Crema Di Parmigiano – contorni, and secondi, including fresh seafood inspired by the Adriatic coast. Yeppa & Co. will also introduce lunch service and a convenient grab-and-go window in the coming months. For a quick bite while exploring the area or strolling the Beltline, grab-and-go offerings will include espresso, gelato, panini and a selection of retail items – some of which can be found at the market section of sister restaurant Storico Fresco.

"Our goal has always been to bring the essence of Italian hospitality to Atlanta,” says co-founder Pietro Gianni. “With this new location, we’re bringing that vision to a space along the Beltline that will celebrate vibrant flavors, lively conversation and the simple charm of a true Italian gathering."

With a breezy and inviting atmosphere, Yeppa & Co. will embrace the energetic spirit of Rimini, Italy – the coastal town that inspired the original concept. Designed to capture the essence of Italian hospitality, the space will feature furnishings and decor sourced directly from Italy. Outdoors, there will be a spacious bar, covered and heated seating for year-round enjoyment, and sidewalk tables where guests can soak in the vibrant surroundings.

“The name ‘Yeppa’ holds personal significance as the nickname of my mentor and close family friend while growing up in Rimini,” says co-founder Stephen Peterson. “Yeppa was a beloved restaurateur in town known for his exuberant spirit and love of entertaining. Today, we aim to bring that same energy and celebration of living life fully, passionately and authentically to our restaurants.”

Yeppa & Co. is the most recent addition to Yeppa Studios’ family of restaurants, which includes the pasta-focused, MICHELIN-recommended restaurant and Italian marketplace Storico Fresco, the Roman-inspired restaurant Forza Storico in Westside Provisions and the lively restaurant and bar Yeppa & Co. at Buckhead Village. With this next chapter, Yeppa Studios continues its commitment to bringing the traditions of Italian dining to Atlanta in a way that is immersive and undeniably fun.
