Piatti's: oh well (La Jolla)

Had a delectable meal at Piatti's (LJ Shores) a few years ago, remembered it very fondly, couldn't believe I had never been before. (NYUGirl used to live in that 'hood - if you can call it one! - and said it was her favorite there).

Went this week - major disappointment. Bread was good, service was good....Aside from that, overpriced, average salad; undercooked (!) pasta [how often do you notice your pasta is undercooked? we're not talking al dente]; too rich eggplant dish; CH said *Coco's* makes a better chicken dish than his was.... We shan't return - too bad! With the decline of Jai and the closure of Venice, we are very eager for new pre-theater choices! (dear readers, do weigh in if you have advice! Apollonia is good, but not that exciting for date night; Roy's is kind of corporate; Whole Foods Deli is delicious but not a real date place; going into and out of La Jolla village probably is too hectic pre- a 7 pm show!); am over PF Chang's!
