Our story

A family kitchen, not a chain

Il Piatto is run by Paolo and family, cooking the way they've always cooked — fresh ingredients prepared to order, less than 2% ever frozen, and a menu that changes with the seasons every three months. This is homely, generous Italian food, the way an Italian landlady would make it.

  • Fresh daily
  • Wood-fired pizza
  • Family-run
