If you're looking for a taste of Italy in Alpharetta, di Paolo might just have you saying, ''delizioso.'' This trattoria is an unassuming little eatery tucked away in a drab shopping strip, but a cozy interior and a menu featuring fresh ingredients that change with the seasons greet patrons who make the trip inside. This is a dark wood paneled, candlelit spot ideal for romantic dinner dates. The menu here combines the seasonings of Tuscany with the flavors of Southern Italy. For an appetizer you might want to try the gnocchi with asparagus and bacon in a brown butter sauce. Or how about a fresh Caesar salad with fresh Parmesan cheese and dressing made on site? The entrees range from pastas and pizzas to seafood and meat choices including seared jumbo scallops, striped bass in saffron sauce and oak-roasted filet mignon with mountain gorgonzola. The wine list is fairly extensive, and desserts include fresh-baked biscotti and a super rich tiramisu.
