This official name of this spot is La Madia--Art of Pizza, Love of Wine. OK, when your restaurant has a sub-title, you're pretty serious about things. Describing itself as a "refined pizzeria," it's will offer 4,200 square-foot space that includes a 125-seat dining room, and according to the press release -- "a private wine and pizza tasting room." A private pizza tasting room? Sounds like heaven to us. In addition to pizza with fresh, seasonal ingredients, they're promising risotto, pastas, a selection of fancy imported cheese, and big wine list to match (enclosed in a 13-foot, glass-enclosed cellar). Chef and restaurateur Jonathan Fox -- who was the Chief Operating Officer for Maggiano's Little Italy -- is behind this spot.
