Dining room at Fritti, Atlanta, GAAnchoring the open kitchen, a wood-fired oven, managed by Massimo Andreozzi, underscores the fact that pizza is Fritti's defining dish. The pizze are certified by the Verace Pizza Napoletana Association, at least partly because these pies don't arrive at the table sliced, as doing so lets the crust get soggy. Our favorites are pancetta and cipolla (caramelized onion) and the Toscana, with buffalo milk mozzarella, salame, cherry tomatoes and rosemary. The appetizers, paired with a glass of wine, make this restaurant useful as a tapas spot; we like the arancini and the fried calamari with lemon. For dessert, get the panna cotta (although we're still not convinced about its balsamic vinegar/caramel sauce adornment), chocolate soup or a Nutella pizza. The rigorously all-Italian wine list---there is one Champagne---is a delight. Cantele Rosato di Negroamaro, a dry rosé, is lovely with any of the pizze. You can avoid pizza entirely by choosing a salad and any of several spiedini, but you'd be missing the menu’s main attraction.
