ATLANTA, GA — Sagra, a neighborhood wine bar from owner Eric Di Nardo, is planned for 535 Gresham Ave SE, Atlanta, GA 30316. Di Nardo told Business Debut he is hoping to begin construction soon and is targeting a summer opening.

What to Expect

Di Nardo described Sagra as “a neighborhood wine bar.” He said the goal is to create a community gathering space for East Atlanta Village, with roughly 50 seats split between the bar and dining area. The layout is expected to include a small, more private tasting room, plus a small back patio with additional seating.

The food program will lean Italian, with an approach inspired by Venice-style osteria bites. Di Nardo said guests should be able to stop in “to get snack to enjoy alongside their glass or bottle,” while also having options that could serve as a full meal.

The name ties into the concept. “Sagra in Italian is a festival,” Di Nardo told Business Debut, describing it as a celebration tied to ingredients, harvests, wine, and time of year. Di Nardo said the list will “really highlight Italian grape varietals,” including wines from Italy, but it won’t be limited to Italy alone.

Pricing-wise, Di Nardo said the program will include “affordable glass options,” plus bottles that give guests an opportunity “to splurge as well.” Sagra will also feature a full liquor bar.
