Meet NYT Bestselling Author Caitlin Rother at Piatti La Jolla

Piatti La Jolla is stepping off the page and into real life this February. On Tuesday, February 10th at 5:30 p.m., Piatti La Jolla will host a public meet & greet and book signing with New York Times bestselling author Caitlin Rother, celebrating the release of Hooked – the first novel in her new “Katrina & Goode” thriller series, set in La Jolla.

The novel features Piatti La Jolla as the very bar where the two protagonists first meet – a scene that opens with one of them craving mussels and a dirty martini, anchoring the story in a distinctly local and atmospheric setting. To celebrate the book and connect directly with readers, Piatti La Jolla is inviting both the general public and select media to join a casual cocktail-hour gathering at the bar, featuring:

– A meet & greet and book signing with Caitlin Rother, with copies of Hooked available for purchase and signing on site
– The debut of a special dirty martini pairing inspired by the novel, available during the event and throughout February
– Light bites and signature cocktails curated by Piatti’s bar team
– The opportunity to experience the exact La Jolla bar setting that inspired a key moment in the book

This event brings literary culture and local storytelling together in a relaxed, social setting – offering readers the chance to meet the author behind the story, and media an engaging, story-driven moment at the intersection of books, food, and place.
