This new addition to the Mall of Georgia area, is refreshing in that it's not a chain with fried chicken fingers and fries. I found out that the owner is from Boston and he moved here to open an Italian eatery, the right way. The menu boasts various takes on Italian cuisine with a key component, homemade/fresh ingredients that are as local as possible. All of the pastas and sauces are made in-house, along with bread that is purchased just down the road. The first bite told me that I had found the best pizza OTP (Outside The Perimeter for non-Atlantan's) and perhaps beyond! There is a nice variety of hot sandwiches and burgers including an incredible grilled portobello panini with vegetables and mouth-watering goat cheese. The eggplant chips are a pre-meal necessity. You can relax in the quite and dim-lit atmosphere created by the dark-stained wood fixtures including a stocked bar with non-traditional drafts maintained by a friendly staff.
Pros: Homemade pasta, fresh ingredients,
Cons: As of my last visit, there was no greeter upon entering
