At this cheerful-looking Valley trattoria, owner-chef Mario Tidu, influenced by his mother's cooking and that of ex-Adriano's chef Ueli Huegli, makes airy gnocchetti in a fresh tomato sauce, thin-crusted pizza and a lovely dish combining moist chicken with kalamata olives, capers, fresh rosemary and tomatoes. A good spot for a tasty inexpensive dinner. --Gayot.com
