IT'S the hot new Italian in town. Restaurant, that is. And in L.A., that usually means a formal attitude and northern Italian cuisine. But Terroni...

Times Description

The kitchen does a fresh take on pasta, turning out homemade rigatoni in a sauce of dandelions, homemade sausage, Fontina and Parmesan cheeses or spaghetti with anchovies, black olives, cherry tomatoes, capers, breadcrumbs and parsley.

Pizza is thin-crusted, blistered from the hot oven and served uncut. The choices are tremendous -- 30 combinations of ingredients, only a few with names you may have heard before. I can say that Santo Spirito with tomato, bocconcini (small fresh mozzarella), anchovies and a scattering of cherry tomatoes and capers is a winner. A chalkboard lists the day's secondi, or main courses -- just one or two, maybe grilled salmon or tagliata (sliced grilled steak) on arugula. The truly hungry can polish things off with a hefty panino, or Italian sandwich.
