Piatti will always have a special place in our hearts. We had our wedding reception at Piatti La Jolla a few years back and that is the reason why we chose to go to Piatti again as we celebrate our anniversary. It didn't disappoint. From the reception, to our server, to the food. We had a "personalized" menu and we were accommodated even if we arrived way earlier than our reserved time. We ordered calamari, Uovo, steak and their special (white fish). Everything tasted heavenly. To finish, we were served Tiramisu, which was also delicious. I wish I knew our server's name, I just want to thank him for being so attentive and nice! Again, thank you so much Piatti! read more

I recommend everyone if you want a nice lunch check them out. read more

If I could give this place another star I would! Wow! Today is Valentine's Day and we have a little one so staying in was our best option this year. I placed our order early and scheduled it for a dinner delivery. Something happened with DoorDash where my order was never processed. I called the restaurant and Robert the Manager took it upon himself to drive to our house and drop it off himself on one of the most busiest nights of the year. He could not have been kinder and sincerely cares about his customers. Not to mention the food here is always so delicious! This man deserves so much for going above and beyond. Thank you Robert, we need more people like you in this world. read more

Visited this place for my birthday dinner, very beautiful location(this is Danville downtown) and ambience was good, they have outdoor seating but we opted for indoor as it was a bit cold, we ordered chicken tortilla soup, shrimp appetiser( I forgot the name but it was served on corn bread) and pesto pizza. soup was amazing, shrimp appetiser disappointed us it was lacking the punch no flavour what so ever, we where very skeptical about ordering anything else after trying the app but we have decided give the pizza a go and I am glad that we tried the pizza it was tasty. I got a free tiramisu dessert as it was my birthday. Overall few ups and downs but would go back for the pizza read more

To start, this place is BUSSSSYYY. But in a good way. I came here on a Tuesday and they had a huge party bus parked out front, and when we were waiting for the hostess to be ready to seat us we could hear her on the phone saying the next available seating was at 9 PM and we we were there at 6. Honestly shook for a Tuesday and I never eat in this area. So I highly recommend having a reservation so you don't have to wait. If you have a reservation they are quick to seat you and have the tables ready for you. Despite being busy it didn't feel busy or loud. Our server was very attentive and appreciated his great service. Since we came to celebrate a birthday it was nice how much effort they went into making the birthday boy feel special. The hostess and server both mention it immediately and gave him birthday wishes. I even loved how they went the extra mile as to even print it on the menu with his name included! Now to the part you actually care about is the food. I liked how they didn't have the usual balsamic for dipping but a different dipping sauce that had a good kick to it. -Appetizers: we got calamari and Caesar salad. Wish they included lemon for the calamari and the dipping sauce tasted more like salsa for chips but it wasn't bad, just not my usual idea of flavor for calamari. The salad we got the sharing size which we were able to easy share for four people. -main: I picked the Spicy Prawn Chitarra. Lemme just start with the portion size for this dish is so much bigger than the other dishes. I could barely finish half of it! Especially after a piece of bread and appetizers. It was so delicious though with great flavoring. I would love to come back and try their salmon which also looked good. Overall experience was really lovely and glad they could make my brothers birthday dinner nice and enjoyable. read more

Absolutely LOVE Piatti. Went here last night for a surprise birthday party. The staff was super accommodating and ever printed custom menus for my friend. We had a party of 19 and had an amazing time. Shoutout to Maya (sorry if this isn't the correct spelling) for an amazing night! We also got the brussel sprouts, calamari (super crispy and fresh), gemelli, steak, tortelli, and many pomegranate ginger martinis just to name a few items - all 11/10 and highly recommend. Can't wait to go back! read more

Great food and good service. There is a surcharge on the bill for the employees but do the employees really receive the money?

I came here after researching Italian food in the area and looking at the menu online. The place is really nice and well lit, the bar isn't over crowded. Nikki served me at the bar and she was very attentive and nice to talk with. I ordered the flat iron steak with a Negroni and a recommended chocolate chip cookie for dessert. All were delicious. I will definitely be coming back soon for the food, atmosphere, and service. read more

My husband and I went to Piatti to celebrate our Anniversary! We loved our personalized menu with "Happy Anniversary wishes". We had a really good time! The Wine was exquisite. We ordered fried calamari, Rigatoni, Ravioli and had tiramisu for dessert. Customer service was great and our server was amazing! read more

Piatti Danville - Tiramisu - Italian Near Me - Danville, California

What a beautiful setting among the outdoors with the colorful leaves. The bread, drinks and food was fantastic with one exception; the quiche. It was cold and sort of soggy but the simple salad was decent. Everyone enjoyed their meal and you can't beat the setting. Only minus was how long it took for our food to arrive. read more

We've been going to Piatti for close to 20 years & have always enjoyed their food until they reopened after Covid. Their menu is tired and not very good anymore, in my opinion. The last 6 or 8 times we've been there, the waiter/waitress said that their special was petrale sole, which I've ordered a couple of times & it's not very good. Too much sauce & the mashed potatoes were a cold, thick lump on the plate. Seems to me that if it's on the menu every day, it's no longer a special. Today at lunch I ordered the quiche, which was not good. Very disappointing. They added a 4% service charge after Covid. We asked our waiter what it was for & he said it's for the waitstaff's uniforms. The waitstaff does not wear uniforms. There are too many good restaurants in Danville that change their menus often. We'll avoid Piatti until/if we hear they've made some improvements. read more

Piatti has become our goto restaurant as of late. Easy parking, friendly staff, and great atmosphere. Whether it's on the patio, by the fireplace or at the bar watching the warriors while eating a pizza there's no such thing as a bad spot to sit. The bread and dipping sauce are so good! The Brussel salad and Margherita are always on rotation for us. read more

Fried calamari was tasteless. Spaghetti and clams was just okay. Service was fine, but was expecting more from the food.

We had a family dinner for my moms birthday. They printed special menus for us which is so easy but such a great personal touch. There were 5 of us and we sat at a round table near the fireplace, I was nervous it might be too loud for the older people but it was perfectly fine and comfortable! Service was lovely and food was great too. Lots of good appetizers on the menu!! read more

Piatti Danville - Personal happy birthday menu - Italian Near Me - Danville, California

Years ago, I was told the best Italian food in Contra Costa County is Patti in Danville Ca. This might be one of my favorite restaurants in the Bay Area. In 2022 my family or myself has had the pleasure to bring family members or close friends to this Gem of a restaurant . The service, from the Hostesses that seat you to the many talented servers that come to Piatti for employment to the bussers, they are all the best at any restaurant in Contra Costa County. Our family and our guests have ordered just about everything on the menu, sometimes I'm thinking of their Risotto, or their butternut squash ravioli. There have been times when I'll go there just to get my Bolognese fix! The pizzas that are produced here will rival most pizzerias. Their pasta is made in house daily. For over 7 yrs, I've never had a bad meal here, never had a bad experience here, never had a complaint here, that's for 7 yrs. You know your at a good restaurant when you look around and everyone is having a good time, the guests, the servers, the bussers, hostesses, managers,. When you dine at Piatti you almost feel like your in a family environment, sitting down and about to enjoy a great meal, while having a great time being served by great people. Bravo Piatti, your restaurant is always a enjoyable environment to bring people in to have an excellent experience and share a great meal with. read more

We ordered from Piattis on Friday night. I feel kinda bad dinging a restaurant during the pandemic but this is a culmination of eating at Patti a few times a year for nearly 20 years. The bar is generally petty lively and fun. A mature and well heeled bunch usually. Sunday brunch is quite nice with plenty of champagne. Brunch is one of their better menus though I haven't been to Piattis on a Sunday morning for several years. Meat and fish are generally grilled or sautéed well. My issue is with the Italian dishes. The red gravy's especially sad. Like it came directly from Sysco. C'mon folks! Heat! Olive Oil, a little butter carrots celery, onions, salt peper Italian herbs, garlic last. Crushed tomatoes. Add broth. Maybe some Red. Pepper flakes? a little sugar. You can do it! read more

One of the best Italian food in Bay area. A rustic place with one of the best breads out there ...the pasta was perfectly good and seasoned. Don't miss the Chicken - it's outstanding read more

Wonderful spot! Came here last week with a girlfriend for dinner... liked it so much I brought my hubby back for our Anniversary dinner. Both times the staff and food were excellent! I strongly recommend the meatballs, Tiramisu and old fashions. Shot out to our server Doug who was the sweetest and super helpful! We will be back and bring friends next time!! read more

I've been here twice. The first time, the food and wine were wonderful. The second time I went, the food was a big disappointment. I had a spinach salad that was drenched with salad dressing. The server left it with me and never came back until the end of the meal. The only thing I ate was the chicken soaked in dressing. I have to say, I have ordered many spinach salad and have never complained, until this one. When the server finally came to our table, I told her the salad had too much dressing, but she had no response. Fortunately, or unfortunately in my case, I had plenty of fried from my husband's plate. Oh well, I will not be back. read more

Some of the best Chicken Piccata I've every had. Also the bread pudding dessert is delicious! Super cool location in the Livery and inviting outdoor dining with string lights. A great meal and experience. read more

I was very happy with the quality of the food. The appetizer bread is definitely worth the price. While the menu didn't jump out to me, there was a great selection of Italian favorites and we enjoyed everything we ordered. The one thing I would say is it needs a face lift but I found out we were in there the week before their remodel was going to start so they're on top of that too. read more

We went to dinner last night for my daughter's 16th birthday. There were five people in our party. Piatti is a good place to celebrate a birthday. When I made the reservation on open table, I noted in the comments that it was my daughter's 16th birthday. Within five minutes my phone rang and it was the hostess from the restaurant asking for my daughters name so they could print a special menu with a happy birthday to her at the top. It's such a nice little touch. In addition to that, when we arrived, every staff member that we came into contact with that spoke to my daughter wished her a happy birthday. Very nice. We sat on the patio which was beautiful. I was worried it would be chilly, as it was a cold and windy evening, but they've got the tent up with plenty of heaters and it's just as comfortable as inside with a beautiful fountain, festive twinkle lights, and pretty plants. The food is always good here. There are never any surprises. We had some shrimp appetizers and the deviled eggs. The deviled eggs were a little plain, but still good. For mains, we had spaghetti and meatballs, chicken Marsala, crab ravioli, salmon, and the flat iron steak. The service was great, Reza was our waiter, and he was very attentive and kind. He even offered to take a group picture of us. They brought tiramisu with a candle at dessert time so we could sing and embarrass the teen. Piatti is so close to my home and has been a staple in our lives for so long that I kind of forgot how nice they do make a birthday. Highly recommend. read more

We came back to piatti and were not super impressed. I got the chicken parm again which is still amazing. My girlfriend got the lemon ravioli which was a very small portion and tasted like a key lime pie? We were not a huge fan. We also got their Margherita pizza which was just okay. Also our food took almost an hour to come out. The service was great though and they were very apologetic about the situation. read more

Always a fantastic experience, with such good quality food. Our waiter Gerry recommended several good dishes, my favorite was the crab cakes and the chitarra with prawns (this was one of my favorite pasta dishes EVER). Gerry made our meal special with his recommendations, the drink pairings, his jokes, and his timing with arriving just as we needed something. read more

We had a 60 - person rehearsal dinner at Piatti and it turned out to be amazing. Not only was Tami the sales coordinator amazing to work with, but the night of our event the food was fantastic and the service was absolutely incredible. Our servers were Marcus and David and I cannot tell you how many people commented on how stellar the service was, comparing it to a five-star restaurant. I am probably one of the hardest people to please when it comes to service after being in the business for many years, and they exceeded every expectation imaginable. The only criticism I have of the evening was they dropped the ball on the Caesar salad dressing, but it was easy to get past when the entrées arrived. Thanks for the wonderful evening, Piatti! read more

The food and ambiance was decent , however, the service left much to be desired. While dining outside, I had to accompany my son to the bathroom. On our return, the waitress asked if I was heading back to the table to bring the dessert menu and spoons. This has never happened to me at a restaurant ever. We won't be back. read more

I made reservations on Open Table which was very easy. My husband and I dined here for his birthday. We where seated right away and was greeted by our server. We brought our own wine and our server opened it immediately to let it breath. We started off with bread and this delicious garlic olive oil dip and Manhattan to kick of the night. We ordered the meatball appetizer along with a Caesar salad. I had the bistro steak medallions and my husband had the Tagliatelle. All our meals where perfectly courses. We enjoyed our dinner and will definitely come back soon! ps: there is no corkage fee :-) read more

Piatti Danville - Meatballs Al Forno - Italian Near Me - Danville, California

Staff was very friends. The ambiance on the patio was very nice. We didn't feel like we were sitting on top of other people, as some other restaurants tend to pack you in. The menu had a lot of variety and will definitely be back to try other dishes. We had the Margarita pizza, brussel sprouts and the pork chop. read more

Food is still pretty good. But the ambiance and service, especially the host/hostess front service can be better. Always somewhat snooty, prejudiced attitude and they don't give off the welcoming vibe. read more

Nice Italian restaurant in a woodsy area of Danville. The place is understated but the most important thing is: the food is not. We were seated on our table and I had made a reservation prior informing them that it was for my mom's and husband's birthday. NOTE: you can ask them to print the menu with a message and they did that. Nice touch! My hubby and mom were impressed. As soon as you sit down, you are served with what seems to be freshly baked bread and this incredible olive oil, vinegar, garlicky sauce which is absolutely delicious and additive. NOTE: not a date friendly dish as you have garlic breath for weeks after indulging in this. Food: I ordered the half chicken, mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts dish. The chicken was cooked to perfection and the food tasted not only freshly made but also well seasoned. I also ate the bolognese pasta and it was a close candidate to my experience traveling to Italy. So I was impressed. It sounds like while they might not have spaghetti and meatballs on the actual menu, it is a possible dish you can order if your heart desires. Drinks: I had the fresh squeezed orange juice, carrot, lemon and ginger mix. I don't think I will have to worry about getting the flu for a few months. That was a delicious boost to my immune system. Dessert: tiramisu was delicious. The creme brûlée was "neutral." Definitely would go back to try other dishes. read more

I have been a long (LOOOONG) time fan of Piatti. In fact, I frequented their La Jolla location while living in PB.... Especially since my sister was a server and bartender there. So, I was very happy to discover a Piatti so close to my new home! Piatti has a delicious variety of Italian fare with a California twist. And what I really like about Piatti is that they change (or add) dishes based on the season. So you know that there's something to be discovered when the season's change. I can go on and on about Piatti... so, I'll stop myself now and give my review for our most recent visit this past Sunday evening. My husband, FIL, and I came here for dinner on Sunday evening at 7:30pm, and boy, this place was jamming! I believe every table was taken so we were glad to have a reservation. We were greeted by our server right away, and because we're frequent diners, placed our order right on the spot. And we ordered the Beef & Pork Meatballs Al Forno, Caesar salad, and Crispy Brussel Sprouts to start, and for our mains - the Fennel Sausage Pizza, the Spicy Prawn Chittara, and the Regional Main of Braised lamb with risotto. In truth, none of has had any complaints with any of our dishes. In fact, my father in law was quite full with the apps that he was only able to enjoy one slice of his fennel sausage pizza. But he did bring the rest home to enjoy the very next day! The brussel sprouts were delicious! Crispy and tangy with the dressing, and it had a nice bite with blue cheese. The crunchy bacon bits and egg also added a nice touch. I believe the brussel sprouts dish could be eaten as a main alone. Of course, I leaned over and helped myself to hubby's Prawn Chittara which was mighty good. The pasta had that perfect al dente bite to it. I definitely liked the braised lamb and risotto! My only comment about this dish is that there should have been more risotto. The lamb to risotto ratio was definitely off. Then again, I love (LOVE) risotto, so I always want more! This was another belly satisfying visit to Piatti's. Side note - Their customer service is AH-mazing! John Perkins, the restaurant manager, goes above and beyond to resolve any issues experienced at his restaurant. That alone deserves 5 stars! read more

I wanted to have an classy, beautiful baby shower that my family, friends and I would enjoy. After viewing around 15 venues including wineries and other restaurants - Piatti stood out and they delivered! pun intended :p Tami, the events coordinator, was super helpful and prompt with her responses. I really appreciated her professionalism, attention to detail, friendliness and focus. She made things happen! The private room was perfect for the event, not too big and not too small with the right lighting and a great view of the outdoor patio vegetation. It made for a serene setting. Food was also amazing. I really enjoyed the pasta that I ordered and all my guests enjoyed their meals as well. Well done chef! The service by Nate was exceptional! Thank you for a making my baby shower exactly what I wanted! I will certainly return for date night and other events! read more

Went here for Brunch and we were the first customers! The bread with with butter were so delicious! I ordered a red table wine which was very tasty. The calamari was good and came with two dipping sauces, a tomato dip and ranch. The crab eggs Benedict was really delicious smothered with a red bell pepper creamy sauce with potatoes on the side. The spinach ravioli with a lemon cream sauce was really delicious. I want to come back for dinner to see if it's just as good or even better. Service was great ! read more

I assumed their Lasagna was prepared fresh. Imagine my surprise when I discovered it was fresh frozen or fresh from the refrigerator from the day (or more) before. It was warm on the edges and completely cold on the inside. So disappointed. They did reheat it a second time...not good Piatti-you need to do better. read more

Takeout doesn't taste like in person dining. They want exorbitant tips for takeout ! read more

A great, classic concept ruined by a new era of staff that does not follow long time favorite recipes nor care about work ethic. The management is likely the reason, with the nepotism unfriendly hostesses in sloppy yoga garb, drinking behind the bar and early closing hours to suit personal needs. Sad. read more

I came here for my friend's birthday. Everyone in the neighborhood talks about this place but this was my first time. I went with the kale/white bean soup for my appetizer and the quiche for my main. The soup was much tastier than what it is described on the menu. Perhaps you should consider stepping up the description so it sounds better. It definitely tasted better than how it was described. My quiche was a little cold, but perhaps it was in the fridge and heated prior to everyone else's food coming out? My side salad was drenched in dressing. I should have asked for the dressing on the side. The fries were a tad soggy for my taste. I stole some of it from my friend's plate. I like my fries more on the crispy side. I had the chocolate dessert, which was a little dry to my liking. I would not get that again. My favorite thing at this place was the bread and their dipping sauce! I promise I'm not this high maintenance. I was really hungry because we didn't end up having lunch until 3 pm. I don't know how you mess up fries or the temperature of food? In any case, my first impression of this place is so so. I don't know if I will want to come back any time soon. Oh and a couple of times we had to remind our waiter to bring out more bread... and then more dipping sauce. It didn't come at the same time. For a minute we were eating bread without sauce. read more

The food is really good, but the service is pretty bad. If you do go there, I recommend the margarita pizza

We sat at the bar with a nice brunello and ordered meatballs, tasty house-dip with oven fresh bread. Then the pasta with shrimp. It was all delicious, made even more enjoyable by friendly locals to talk with! read more

Had a wonderful early dinner at Piatti's. We were seated in the covered outdoor area. The tables were well distance due to covid. Our server was very helpful in clarifying all menu items and checked on us frequently for our needs. Order: -Basket of baked pugliese bread and signature piatti dipping oil: This is a must! The dipping oil was absolutely flavorful. It had a wonderful medley of olive oil, balsamic vinaigrette, and a surprise of spices inside. It paired very well with the bread -Parmesan fries: Can't go wrong with these! The fries were thin and crispy. Loved the parmesan addition. -Fried brussels sprout, crispy bacon, sieved egg, blue cheese, pomegranate- Absolutely lovely! The brussel sprouts were well cooked with a wonderful grill flavor. The crispy bacon added extra salt and flavor. The blue cheese and pomegranate contrasted the brussel sprouts with sweetness. -Thyme roasted half moon bay mushrooms: The crust was nice and thin and the amount of mushrooms was perfect. -Chicken picatta: The chicken was juicy on a bed of mashed potatoes and broccoli. The mashed potatoes were really smooth -Chitarra w/ prawns: I enjoyed the texture of the pasta. The prawns were plump and crispy. The sauce was nice and light. Every single food item was wonderful and unique in its own way. I can't wait to come back! read more
