    We’ve been going to Piatti’s for over 27 years and we’ve never been disappointed. Used to live in La Jolla Shores and would always love to walk down have a cocktail under the beautiful tree on back patio and enjoy dinner with friends or just the 2 of us. We come back and visit 2-3 times a yr now and always make Piatti’s a priority.

    Amazing food and lovely service! I shared a few dishes with a friend, the mushroom and spinach rotolo was delicate, and the short rib cannoli rich and savory. The almond torte was a perfect way to finish off dinner. I will certainly be back any time I am in La Jolla!

    Our service was not good-server had no idea about recommendations of sweet red wine, also very awkward interactions. Food and ambience were great, but the service was some of the worst we’ve had in a while.
