Piatanzi is the creation of Pete Lukes. 

Pete was formerly the Chef and Owner of Terra Bistro, here in Albuquerque's North Valley since its opening in 1998. A graduate of the California Culinary Academy, Pete has had many years of experience both in the kitchen and running the business of a restaurant. He has worked for such notable Chefs as Hubert Keller and Roland Passot in their San Francisco restaurants. 

Food and drink brings people together, which brings community together. We hope that Piatanzi will become a favorite neighborhood spot in which community can gather and enjoy delicious meals, share some wine and savor good company.
