Piccoli Piatti Pizzeria To Open At Wildwood Shopping Center

BETHESDA, MD — The restauranteur behind Fish Taco is opening a new Italian restaurant called Piccoli Piatti Pizzeria. Expected to arrive in 2020, Piccoli Piatti Pizzeria will be located inside Bethesda's Wildwood Shopping Center, between Sequel and Sanctuary Interior Design.

The 3,473-square-foot dining destination will offer Neo Neapolitan pizza, a hybrid of Neapolitan- and American-style pizza. It will also feature small (Piccoli) and shared plates (Piatti), such as salads, house-made spreads, and grilled and fried calamari.

Piccoli Piatti Pizzeria is owned by Francis Namin, the restauranteur behind Fish Taco, which is located at Bethesda Row. He also previously owned Red Tomato and Centro in downtown Bethesda.

The new restaurant will join a host of new tenants at Wildwood Shopping Center, including Flower Child and Bethesda Bagels.

"The combination of new dining options, new tenants including Flower Child, Bethesda Bagels and Joe & the Juice, and Wildwood's recent neighborhood upgrades allows us to create a place where our community feels welcome to gather, shop, and dine," said Kari Glinski, director of Asset Management at Federal Realty.
