- DDeniseUtah •1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoFirst time here, on recommendation of friend. We really loved the old-world atmosphere. This was like going back to the 1960's in NY or LA, dark, moody, big leather booths. Love Love. Food was great and fantastic value for the price. 3 cocktails and two entrées and bill was under $200. Brought home leftovers too:) Staff was awesome. This place is over 40 years old and I can see why. We will be coming back.More infoManhattan of La JollaPrice: Expensive• Italian• La Jolla•4.8

- LLisaAustin •1 review5.0Dined 4 days agoThe serenity of the back patio, under the ficus tree umbrella, is very calming and lends itself perfectly to the outstanding food and service. Piatti’s is consistent in their approach to food with no surprises. Expertly prepared lemon crème sauce covers the spinach and ricotta ravioli like velvet. I added salmon, medium temperature, it too was spot on with the seasoning and texture. I’m dreaming about going back soon.More infoPiatti - La JollaPrice: Moderate• Italian• La Jolla•4.8
