The fleeting time in Georgia between the sweltering summer heat and damp winter chill has finally arrived, featuring cool mornings, warm evenings and trees dappled with orange leaves. One of the best ways to celebrate this precious season is by spending plenty of afternoons dining on patios around metro Atlanta.
Check out this list of Atlanta patios with peaceful settings and views of fall foliage.

Bicicletta
This relatively new Peachtree City restaurant from chef Andrea Montobbio focuses on a more casual vibe than his original restaurant, Enzo Steakhouse & Bar, with a menu of pizza and handmade pastas. The large side patio has ample seating and umbrellas, plus string lighting that sets the atmosphere at night. It’s located in the Kedron Village Shopping Center, but a grouping of trees surrounds the patio to keep it feeling like a casual Italian escape. Read AJC restaurant critic Henri Hollis’ roundup review featuring Bicicletta here.
