    We ate here for our anniversary and it was delicious. They even gave us a special menu and a piece of tiramisu for dessert.

    The staff are so accomodating and thoughtful -frequently checking to make sure that we're happy with the food and service. The ambiance on the patio beneath the fig tree is one of the best.

    We requested a nice table and were seated right next to the kitchen, despite there being four tables open in the middle of the restaurant. The noise from plates and pans clattering was loud and unpleasant. Our waiter was nice but he brought all our courses out at once so us with salads ended up with cold main dishes. We really enjoy dining in the bar area and will do that in the future.

    Great food and service as usual. Celebrated Mom's 85th birthday. The Piatti staff was so friendly and accommodating which made her day extra special. This is a very special restaurant which we've gone to for many years. So appreciate the staff and delicious menu options!

    Our family had a wonderful experience at Piatti. Our table spanned three generations and the food and environments was a hit for everyone. We will definitely come back.

    Lasagna and drinks were delicious, my favorite part was the affogato for desert with vanilla bean gelato. Will be coming back!

    The ambience on the patio was lovely. The huge Ficus tree is so beautifully maintained and felt like a wonderful umbrella of green. Our waiter was so experienced and helpful, knowledgeable about both menu and wines. He deserves 5 stars. Caesar salad was very good, although I would have liked a bit more anchovy. The retolo pasta was unexpectedly heavy, not like the glutens of Italian pasta, so while the filling with mushrooms was very good, I would not order it again.
