Special features will be available daily. In the mornings, part of the restaurant will be open as Piattello Coffee Bar.

Piattello, meaning “plate” in Italian, which also refers to the term “clay pigeon”, will have an approachable, family-friendly vibe, according to a news release.

“I’m thrilled to open Piattello Italian Kitchen at Waterside and take a new approach to an Italian restaurant because of the development’s unique, river-accessible location,” said Paslay. “Piattello’s from-scratch menu will be focused around authentic dishes including house made pastas, pizzas and cheeses.”
