Dining, Entertainment & Shopping
Over 60 businesses call Webb Gin Outdoor Mall home. Barnes & Noble and Sprouts Farmers Market are among the notable mall stores available. There is also a wide variety of dining options.
For over 40 years, Provino's Italian Restaurant has treated the Atlanta region to comforting food with a homemade feel. Classic pasta and seafood dishes pepper the menu. If you're looking for something fresh and vibrant, order the penne prima vera or the angel hair dalvina. Or, if you prefer to steer toward decadence, experience the bounty known as cioppino. A word to the wise — leave room for dessert — your sweet tooth will thank you.
Under the direction of Johnson and Wales Culinary University graduate and seasoned executive chef Alex Friedman, The Kitchen at Summit Chase uses locally sourced seasonal ingredients, producing food that showcases refined simplicity with a comforting familial ambiance.
