April will also mark the opening of Piattello’s spacious outdoor patio that overlooks The Grove at Waterside, an open green space with yard games and public art.

“Spring is the perfect time to infuse new, seasonal ingredients into our menu and debut several delicious brunch options,” said Paslay, owner and executive chef of Piattello. “We are excited to open up the patio to become a destination for those who enjoy dining al fresco.”

Piattello will also debut a featured winemaker series to help introduce local diners to Italian wines. Each month, three to four special wines by the glass will be added to the regular wine list with a red, white and sparkling option always available. Scarpetta Winery from the Friuli region in northeast Italy will be the first featured winemaker.
