Cute and sophisticated are two words that rarely go hand in hand, but they’re apt descriptors for this sage-walled Andersonville trattoria. Spend a summer evening in style and bypass the small dining room with decorative window panels, wrought iron accents and ceramic touches in favor of the tiny, romantic, flower-frocked patio in back where one can happily munch on a complimentary bite, perhaps a dandelion green tart. Marty Fosse (Spiaggia, Carlucci) has a modus operandi that works here, particularly when it comes to the array of antipasto salads---from a chewy mélange of farro, roasted corn, wax beans and cherry tomatoes to tangy, buttery onions redolent with thyme. Pastas like the tagliatelle with a ragù of prosciutto and crumbled veal and pork are good, but specials such as the roast suckling pig with pancetta, braised kale and grilled scallions are better---especially when matched with an affordable quartino from the all-Italian wine list. For dessert? Hello, lemon panna cotta. Service is so sincere. you’ll want to make lasting friends.
