Zagat has come up with its list of 10 restaurants that are worth the trip outside the Perimeter, and two Woodstock establishments claim two of those slots.

The 10 Day-Trip Restaurants Worth a Drive from Atlanta, released Nov. 12, includes a wide variety of restaurants, including Vingenzo’s Pasta & Pizzeria and Century House Tavern.

The entire list includes a variety of restaurants spread out across the north Georgia:

• Luciano’s Ristorante Italiano, 6555 Sugarloaf Parkway, Duluth
• The Beirut, 1025 N. Peachtree Parkway, Peachtree City
• By Hand, 25 Shoreline Trail, Clarkesville
• Vingenzo’s Pasta & Pizzeria, 105 E. Main Street, Woodstock
• Century House Tavern, 125 E. Main Street, Woodstock
• Henry’s Louisiana Grill, 4835 N. Main Street, Acworth
• Town 220, 220 W. Washington Street, Madison
• Serenbe, 8715 Atlanta Newnan Road, Palmetto
• Five & Ten, 1073 S. Milledge Avenue, Athens
• Le Vigne, 946 Via Montaluce, Dahlonega

On Century House, Zagat states the restaurant’s menu is “top-notch,” and comes with a staff that treats its customers like family. What does Zagat recommend as the dish to order on Century House’s menu? Grilled pork chop with mashed potatoes, rosemary jus and seasonal vegetables.

Vingenzo’s is “run by true foodies who care,” and offers authentic Italian choices at reasonable prices, Zagat states. The must have on their menu? Slow-braised pork shank confit served in white-bean stew.
