    We had a lovely evening at Piatti last night. Our table was ready as soon as we arrived, and the timing of the dinner was just right—not too rushed, but not too slow either. My dining companions thoroughly enjoyed the pizza, soup, and salad. One friend even joked that the salad dressing was so good she could lick the bowl! I opted for the pasta bolognese, which was absolutely delightful. I was pleased to learn that the pasta is made fresh in-house. The restaurant was recently remodeled and I feel it’s much nicer now with comfortable chairs. We will be back!

    Pleasant experience. Ate on patio even though it was a cold evening. Our table enjoyed the cioppino. Lamb shanks and bolognese. Branzino had too many bones.

    We had a great experience for my dad's 90th birthday- wanted accommodations for a quieter space and the manager was so gracious! The food was spectacular- the value was great with large portions, so we had a scrumptious meal. My dad had a hankering for veal parmesan, they made it happen and it was fabulous. This was our third great experience there... so wanted to share it with you- highly recommend!

    I have always enjoyed dining here. The service is excellent, and everyone is pleasant and efficient. Tonight they had a limited menu, and I had Lamb shank with Risotta, and it was not my favorite. Too much sauce/gravy. It needed a lighter wine sauce. Normally, I would prefer Linguini with Clams.
