Piatti Lands in Laguna Beach, Bringing Italian Flavors to the Coast

Savor Fresh Cuisine and Fine Wines at This New Orange County Restaurant

The clink of wine glasses. The scent of fresh basil. The undeniable magic of a plate of pasta made just for you. That’s Piatti, and this new Orange County restaurant is about to make a splash in Laguna Beach.

For over three decades, Piatti has been a name synonymous with Italian excellence. Not the over-the-top, white-tablecloth, “Do you know who I am?” kind of Italian. We’re talking about the good stuff—the kind of spot where la dolce vita is served daily, the pasta is made fresh and the wine flows freely. And this spring, Piatti is bringing its signature blend of warmth, authenticity and downright deliciousness to 222 Ocean Avenue.

Handmade Pasta + a Wine List That’ll Make You Stay a While

Let’s get straight to the good stuff. The Spinach & Ricotta Tortellini? Silky pockets of perfection. The Rigatoni Bolognese? Comfort in a bowl. The Eggplant Parmesan? It’s gonna make you rethink everything you thought you knew about this classic. And if you’re a seafood lover, the restaurant’s Seared Sea Bass is calling your name.

“Every element is thoughtfully prepared in-house—from slow-simmered sauces to handcrafted pastas—ensuring rich, layered flavors in every bite,” says Farnoush Deylamian, director of restaurant operations.

But let’s not forget the supporting cast: signature pizzas, shareable antipasti and Italian-inspired cocktails that bring a little cin cin to the mix. Plus, the wine selection features a curated lineup of Italian and domestic stunners handpicked for long dinners and good conversation.

Where Coastal Cool Meets Italian Charm

Piatti Laguna Beach isn’t just about the food—it’s about the feeling. Expansive indoor and outdoor dining spaces set the scene for a night that starts with “just one glass of wine” and ends with dessert and another round. Vintage decor, statement lighting and art pieces that nod to Laguna’s creative soul make this new restaurant in Orange County as easy on the eyes as it is on the palate.

“At our new Laguna Beach location, we weave the essence of Piatti with the breezy, sun-kissed charm of Southern California. Our inviting space sets the stage for everything from leisurely lunches to unforgettable celebrations by the sea,” says Deylamian.

Whether you’re stopping in for a cozy date night or rolling deep with your whole crew, this is the kind of place that turns a regular night out into a full-on occasion.
