 Restaurants located in suburban shopping malls tend to be long on alleged atmosphere and short on cuisine. But Piatti, a chain from California, has transcended the genre. Sporting a carefully contemporary interior, the place dishes out plates that are also cautiously Cal-Ital. A grilled portobello starter with mozzarella, sun-dried tomato pesto and balsamic is a case in point; though there’s a classic margherita pizza, grilled chicken with roasted red onions is another option. We prefer the simplest plates such as the pollo alla mattone, as well as the more rustic pastas, with rigatoni and sweet fennel sausage winning favor over the likes of the house-made ravioli alla limone enjoyed by carefully coiffed lunchers of both genders. The wine selection is actually better than it needs to be, though California bests Italy in the bottle count.
