Back Patio
The Back Patio Under the Ficus Tree
The back patio is Piatti La Jolla's signature outdoor setting. A landmark Ficus tree shades the open air patio, which is bright during the day and takes on a different character after sunset, when lights in the tree create a warm evening atmosphere.
The patio is heated but not covered, so seating is weather permitting.
The Front Patio
The front patio is a second open air option, set with umbrellas and palm trees. For private events it hosts up to 20 guests for a standing or cocktail style gathering.
