Event Detail

Sarah Rudd, General Manager of Piatti Ristorante & Bar, announced today they are celebrating 20 years of being in business by giving back to their Montecito and Santa Barbara communities, without which they would not have made it this far.  Piatti strongly believes that the true gift lies within the giving and feels honored to be able to give to the cornerstones of Montecito’s community; arts, education, environment and health.  Beginning on July 22nd, Piatti will donate 20% (in honor of 20 years) of the proceeds from all diners that mention they are there to support Santa Barbara Film Festival.  To follow Piatti has scheduled similar fundraising events on August 4th for Cold Springs School District, August 19th for Heal the Ocean, August 25th for Montecito Union School District and Sept 2nd for Teddy Bear Cancer Foundation.  “It just makes sense” says Rudd, who has a been with Piatti for almost 14 years, “we are such a close knit community and we all work together - what better way to celebrate our success than to honor those that have made it possible?”  In addition to raising funds for the community Piatti has lots of other treats in store for their guests over the next few months including a contest to determine the favorite recipe to be brought back to the menu from the past 20 years.  The winning submission will be featured on Piatti’s menus for the month of August and the entrant will receive a $100 gift certificate to Piatti.  From a $20 three course menu to a 20 cent glass of wine (starting June 22) to featuring years of “Piatti favorites” on the menu, the restaurant will be festively ringing in this notable anniversary all summer, culminating with the finale party on September 19th, 2009. The 20th Anniversary Party will feature Piatti’s award winning cuisine, local beer and wine, entertainment and raffle prizes.  $20.00 admission tickets, benefitting the participating non-profit of your choice, will be sold thru the restaurant and at the door on the day of the event.
