Aria has operated in Buckhead since 2000, founded by chef and restaurateur Gerry Klaskala and led since 2007 by owner Andrés Loaiza. The restaurant is split into two spaces: a bar serving wines by the glass, seasonal cocktails, and the daily menu for walk-ins and reservations, and a dining room designed for a full evening, offering the daily menu, a tasting menu, and a dessert program alongside an award-winning wine list.
Executive Chef Austin Goetzman leads the kitchen, cooking ingredient-driven modern American cuisine on a menu that changes daily to follow the seasons.
Aria has been named to the Eater 38 and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution's list of the city's best restaurants. The James Beard Foundation has named it a finalist for Outstanding Hospitality in 2025 and 2026, following a semifinalist nod for Outstanding Service in 2017.
