The next in "Chipotle for [blank]" restaurants that I've been to, Piada does pasta. Yummy pasta, I might add.
The Piada brand is a step above the Panera-Chipotle tier of fast casual dining and above the TGI Friday's-Applebee's tier of food quality. The portions are massive, fresh, and truly tasty. In fact, the only questionable thing I ate was the garlic bread, which was more a tortilla with garlic butter on it. It wasn't for me.
However, while the food was good, you should be warned that it doesn't come cheap. Piada is a treat for a special occasion. Even worse, the prices aren't posted anywhere. When we reached the register, we were slapped with a bill that caught me off guard. It's not necessarily unaffordable but I wouldn't make it a weekly stop.
