St. Cecilia, from Atlanta chef-owner Ford Fry, serves coastal European food—simple and thoughtful dishes inspired by the coastlines of Italy, Spain, and France—in Buckhead’s Pinnacle Building.

With an old-world, ingredient-driven approach, Executive Chef Craig Richards displays the Italian trademarks that have always stood the test of time, but with versatile and local Southern ingredients. Richards’ simplicity met with sophistication catapulted the position of St. Cecilia in Atlanta’s dining scene since opening in January 2014.

Richards’ food is rooted in tradition, with a sense of place: “I appreciate that Italians are so fervent about their culinary traditions – borderline prideful of it,” he says. “So once you know those traditions, you can make a riff off of it. You have leeway to modernize but pay respect to the ingredients.”
