 Longtime chef Jamie Adams, an Atlanta native, honed his culinary skills in Italy, and knows authentic Italian food. The piatti piccoli (small plates) include tiny meatballs or shrimp, and make lovely companions with drinks before dinner or at day’s end. Thinly sliced cured meats, including a tangy, peppery speck, prosciutto and cheeses make a great shared opener. Simple dishes such as caprese salad--tomato, mozzarella, basil and balsamic--reach new heights here. Note the less costly appetizer portions of pasta that we find more than sufficient for light entrées or to share as a first course. Our favorites include the spinach-flecked gnocchi sauced with pungent Gorgonzola cream, the light-as-a-sigh tortelli baked in porcini cream, and the bowties (farfalle) with lamb. For a main dish, opt for the suckling pig or any of the meats from the big rotisserie spit up front, or perhaps the huge and tender flattened veal chop---a take on veal Parmesan---with tomato sauce and melted mozzarella. Tender beef short ribs on soft polenta constitute true classic Italian fare. Well-crafted desserts sadly no longer include the good panna cotta, except as an occasional special, but we will make do just fine with the chocolate truffle. The almost all-Italian wine list provides very good choices by the glass, actually a quartino serving, as well as some first-rate large format bottles. The La Planeta Segreta Bianco is a fine choice with many of the pasta dishes.
