Description

Few can make a pizza crust like Sharon Ardiana. Glossy and golden, the rolling swell of the lip barely tamed, the crust seems to float off the plate; every bite resounds with a hollow crack. Ardiana's seasonal pies ? in the spring, say, finely chopped asparagus with Meyer lemon and a farm-cooked egg ? always catch the eye first, the Atomica (mushrooms, onions, chiles) have justly earned a permanent spot on the menu. The tiny, casual restaurant gives almost as much attention to starters (fresh salads, excellent salumi) and the roast of the day, and the all-Italian wine list is well-chosen. Children are welcome.
