The owners here also operate Vite Vinosteria, an Italian restaurant/wine bar in Astoria.
According to their questionnaire at the CB3 website for a beer-wine license from last summer, Plado will have 19 tables to accommodate 75 diners as well as an eight-seat bar. Their proposed hours of operation are listed as 10 a.m. to midnight daily.
