The story
Twisted Tomato brings an appealing combination to the Blue Ridge, Georgia dining scene: the warmth of Italian cooking paired with the serious, meat-forward confidence of a steakhouse. It is the kind of pairing that rewards a town with an appetite for both comfort and quality.
The restaurant's 2025 Wine Spectator Award of Excellence signals that Twisted Tomato takes its list seriously — a distinction that reflects genuine curation and a commitment to pairing well-chosen bottles with its Italian and steakhouse menu. For guests, that means the glass is as considered as the plate.
Situated on Mountain Street in the heart of Blue Ridge, Twisted Tomato serves both lunch and dinner, making it a natural stop whether you're passing through the North Georgia mountains or settling in for an evening. The Italian-steakhouse format gives the kitchen range: expect the richness of slow-cooked sauces alongside the directness of a properly prepared cut of beef.
For a town like Blue Ridge — known for its scenery and its draw as a weekend retreat — having a restaurant that earns national recognition for its wine program while delivering Italian and steakhouse cooking is a genuine asset.
