it's getting hot in here. or is it just in the kitchens 'round town? find a new star, make it a pressing matter but just don't be a clown with our list of this month's eats:

vita, vita, vici.
get as close to italy as, well, new york. vita is the new spot from the owner of fratelli di napoli and is modeled after a classic new york italian resto. no menu teasers yet, but expect food like mama used to make: meatballs, homemade red sauce and plenty of abondaza. opens early march. 2110 peachtree road. at bennett. 404.367.VITA. www.vitaatlanta.com


circa clown.
need an alternative to your nightcap? every month, café circa (pictured) offers a musical side dish to your guava jerk chicken cutlets. whether it's jazz, soul or salsa, pick and choose your night and get swayin'. 464 edgewood avenue. near daniel. 404.477.0088. www.cafecircaatl.com


pressing matter.
why pay $5 a day for a cup of java, when you can brew at home with the cylinda line coffee press ($315). the stainless steel frame brings a mod bauhausian feel to the old school art of french press. available at design within reach. 2451 peachtree road NE. near battle. 404.841.2471. www.dwr.com


a new star.
cozy up with some chianti at the recently opened stella neighborhood trattoria. it's italian comfort food with hand-tossed pizzas and a full bar. check out the patio once the weather gets warm. now open. 563 memorial drive. at park. 404.688.4238. www.stellaatlanta.com


francophile.
miss breaking le petit pain with your french friends? re-visit your days in paris at le petit marché. it's the new "little market" in kirkwood inspired by the owner's jaunts through paris and provence. pick up balsamic vinegars, potato crisps and artisan cheeses. or stop by over the weekend for fresh-baked goodies and tastings. now open. 1963 hosea L. williams drive. near oakview. 404.371.9888.
