Michael Quattrochi has spent five decades honing his understanding of canine behavior. Courtesy of Michael QuattrochWhen Atlanta magazine profiled dog whisperer Michael Quattrochi in 1985, he was something of a trailblazer. For one, he believed in training puppies rather than adult dogs.

On pretty days, it’s filled with friends clinking wine glasses, couples on dates, and plenty of leashed dogs ensuring no crumbs collect dust on the ground. The menu is billed as “elevated Italian,” so even though you can order woodfired pizzas and housemade pastas, you won’t spot a checkered tablecloth.
