The White Bull sits on East Court Square in Downtown Decatur, part of the Porchetta Group's restaurant roster. Chef Pat Pascarella built it as a farm-forward Italian concept, sourcing from a network of Georgia farmers and purveyors to bring house-milled grains, farm-fresh produce, and grass-fed meats to a small-plate menu that pushes past strict Italian farm-to-table convention.
The name nods to a line from Ernest Hemingway, who described a blank page as "The White Bull" — both terrifying and thrilling to face. It's the framing the kitchen has taken for its own approach to Italian cooking in Decatur.
Locally, regulars point to thoughtful, creative cooking backed by attentive service, inside a room known for its own design and atmosphere. Michelin selected The White Bull for its 2025 guide.
