Eli Kirshtein's Old Fourth Ward restaurant runs an Italian-Southern menu — handmade pastas, wood-fired cooking, and the kind of hybrid identity that draws as much from Georgia farms as from Italian tradition. The Kirshtein family is well-known in the Atlanta dining scene; the room is buzzy and polished. For Italian cooking with Southern roots, in a format that doesn't fit cleanly in either tradition.
