#ForksOut: New Restaurants as of June 15, 2022
Can you believe Independence Day 2022 has already come and gone? It’s one of the best “food” holidays, in our opinion. Who doesn’t love a good barbecue spread or some ice cream while you’re watching the fireworks? While the kids try to savor every moment of summer break, let’s take a cue from them. These new Dinova restaurant partners will help you live it up this summer, even when you’re on the clock.
Atlanta, GA
Want to take your team on a culinary journey to Italy? Amalfi Cucina & Mercato in Atlanta is the next best thing.

Its pizza is so authentic that you’re sure to find a new favorite you’d never heard of before (unless you’re well-versed in Italian street food). Plus, the friendly folks at Amalfi are experts at hosting private business events.

Let’s face it: sandwiches for lunch never get old — especially when they’re from Firehouse Subs, offering hot and cold sub sandwich options that are anything but boring. Need proof?
