Baffi Opens On Atlanta’s West Side
The eatery’s name Baffi comes from a translation of “mustache,” which is a wink toward Waxman’s New York City restaurant Barbuto, the Italian word for “bearded.”
Executive Chef Andrew Cacioppo helms the kitchen, meshing Waxman’s Italian-Californian flavors and cooking style with his own deep culinary expertise.
Baffi is open for dinner Tuesday through Saturday in Atlanta’s West Midtown neighborhood at Stockyards.
