Restaurant concept with coffee bar will be in new Waterside development
March 14, 2016 — Fort Worth, Texas — Marcus Paslay, executive chef and owner of Clay Pigeon, will open his second restaurant, Piattello Italian Kitchen, this fall in Fort Worth’s new Waterside development
Piattello will have a from-scratch seasonal menu. Paslay’s take on comfortable Italian fare will include housemade pastas, as well as pizzas from a wood burning oven. 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 to welcome foodies of all ages.
“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 housemade pastas, pizzas and cheeses.”
The restaurant will be a 5,300 square-foot space with a spacious covered patio. The interior will be designed by Mitchell Garman Architects of Dallas.
More details and the opening date are to be announced.
