Reserve a TableItalian Dinner for Two in La Jolla Shores
Date night at Piatti combines handmade Italian cooking with one of the most memorable settings in La Jolla Shores: a garden patio beneath a landmark Ficus tree.
The Setting
Dinner Under the Lit Ficus Tree
During the day, the back patio is bright and relaxed. At night, lights in the Ficus tree create a warm, distinctive atmosphere for dinner for two. The patio is heated but not covered, so outdoor seating is weather permitting.
What to Order
Start with burrata or the town dock calamari to share. For the main course, the pappardelle with saffron and shrimp and the linguine with mussels, clams, calamari, shrimp and fresh fish are favorites, and the veal piccata is a classic. Every pasta is rolled and cut by hand each day.
