"Il Piatto, which means 'the dish' in Italian, swings open on Thursday, June 23 for lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch out of the gate. The comforting menu kicks off with an array of appetizers, including homemade meatballs, fried risotto balls stuffed with mozzarella (arancini), and 'pera in camica' — a poached pear served with radicchio, goat cheese, and balsamic dressing. Pasta mains (around $20) include a classic fettuccine alla Bolognese, ricotta gnocchi with gorgonzola cream sauce, and Maltagliati funghi, featuring flat noodles mixed with a medley of mushrooms." - Aparna Krishnamoorthy
