Carson City's McFadden Plaza welcomes newest addition, Piazza Bar
Carson City's newest restaurant and bar, Piazza Bar, is open for business on McFadden Plaza in Carson City.
The eatery is located in the former Bella Fiore location, and is offering Italian cuisine such as salads, pizza, small plates and sharable platters. The menu also boasts a number of custom cocktails.
"The kernel of an idea that became Piazza was inspired by our travels in Italy and Spain, where we love to join the locals in the evenings to stroll in the piazza, and to stop at the neighborhood bar to relax with a Spritz or a good glass of wine," said owners Mark and Jenny Lopiccolo on Piazza's website. "We returned home with a vision: to create a similar experience in Carson City’s own Plaza, with good wines, great cocktails, stellar service, and food options worth getting excited about. The result is Piazza!"
Piazza hosts a number of staff from now-closed Adele's, and Adele's owner Charlie Abowd offered his assistance in creating Piazza.
According to the website, the Executive Chef of Piazza is local chef Dan Burnham, who started his career in Disneyland in 1982, and has worked over the years in Orange County, Mammoth, Montana and Laguna Beach, eventually opening five-star restaurants for a hotel. During his travels, Dan met Charlie Abowd and worked at Adele’s as his right-hand man for eight years, including time catering at the Shakespeare Festival at Lake Tahoe and the James Beard awards in NYC.
His experience was earned in fine dining and seasonal resort kitchens over the past decades, and we are thrilled he has returned to Carson City to open Piazza.
You can learn about the rest of the Piazza Management team, most of them long time Adele's members, here.
Piazza is currently taking a limited number of reservations by telephone during business hours. Please call ahead at (775) 301 6708 to speak with staff and confirm availability.
They are open Tuesday through Saturday from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m.
