Our favorite Italian restaurant was demolished a couple months back to make way for "progress".  The lady owner got a nice check I presume and put it into rehabbing a house built in 1930 still present amidst some 40 story apt buildings.  We'd been keeping an eye on it and had toured it during construction.  Today, it was OPEN!!!  Yay, we were both delighted, and they didn't have their alcohol permit for a glass of wine was free (I left a nice tip).

We sat at the bar and chatted a good bit with the owner, a very nice Asian lady.  Anyway, if you're ever down here, I think it's worth a trip, it's on West Peachtree in midtown.  It's kinda funny how a small thing can cheer a person up.

Does all the walking I did in a foreign country counteract eating so richly and knocking back four-plus meals on my travel day back?

Live updates: Russia's war in Ukraine (cnn.com)
Live updates: Russia's war in Ukraine (cnn.com)

Ukraine’s counteroffensive appears imminent.
The country's front lines are abuzz with vehicle movement and artillery strikes, with regular explosions hitting vital Russian targets in occupied areas. President Volodymyr Zelensky has assured a counteroffensive “will happen," while demurring on any exact start date.
It may have already started; it may be weeks away. We don’t know – but Ukrainians, whom CNN spoke to in Kyiv, are pinning their hopes on this much-anticipated counteroffensive.
Tetiana Kolle-Kolesnikova, 35, left her town Volnovakha in the Donetsk region in the first days of Russia's full-scale invasion. Now she lives and works in Kyiv as a manicurist. 
“I expect that our army will win in any case and take back all the occupied territories. And our family will finally be able to return home and see their homeland. We miss home very much," she told CNN.

Indeed, it's a bit odd.  She sounds like a native, so I gather she's been here all her life.  Her chef is Italian.  The food is good.

We ate big on one last trip to Italy. Lost 12 pounds on that trip. 160+ miles on foot helped. Didn't help the feet at all.

Name and address would be good. Midtown is a big place.

Menu — Pasta da Pulcinella

1100 West Peachtree St. NW, in the heart of Midtown Atlanta


Since 1994, Pasta Da Pulcinella has been a place of the reknown Zagat Survey, Frommer’s Guide to Atlanta, and a host to nation-wide clientele. In 2000, the restaurant moved off Peachtree street in favor of a more intimate atmosphere. Pasta Da Pulcinella has undergone changes but has maintained the classic appeal that made it famous. Table linens, oil paintings of Tuscany, classic melodies, and the scent of fresh pasta fill the air.

Chef Bibbiano has been the heart of Pasta Da Pulcinella for over fifteen years. He diligently maintains the restaurant’s original menu, all the while creating additional dishes each week with the freshest ingredients. Unassuming and quick with a smile, Chef Bibbiano keeps his small kitchen full of laughter and the joy he gets from his work.

The bar is in that bayfront window, it's a nice seat when outside it too windy/chilly, as today.  This house was pretty decrepit before they redid it, usually such things get demolished.
