I go frequently to Piattis and the food is consistently excellent-- every dish is good and the bread and dipping sauce is super good

We decided to come here for an impromptu dinner on a Thursday night. The place was packed! We had called on the way there and found out no reservations were available but we could try the bar area. Right when we got there we found a high top in the bar area and were seated right away. We started with the bread and dip. The dip was one of my favorite things of the meal. Super flavorful and the balsamic vinegar shone through. We then ordered some bruschetta which I thought was alright. Then the LEMON RAVIOLI! Slightly overpriced but the absolute star of the meal. So so good. For dessert we finished off with the tiramisu and mocha. The tiramisu was a great portion and the sweetness we needed. Also, I loved the presentation of the mocha and the individual layers. Overall, the hype is worth it!! I would definitely be back to try a few other dishes (along with the lemon ravioli)! read more

Whoa!! What a place! We were lucky to have Gerry as our waitstaff. Did HE know the menu! He was attentive, affable and helpful. The warm bread arrived and that started our meal. We had the spinach salad with marinated chicken. I followed with Cream of Broccoli soup and hubby had the petrole sole. AMPLE portions! Gerry kept our water glasses full and was on point to answer any questions and give suggestions. He knew what each menu item had and what would go with what! The venue was superb. Next time we will sit on the beautiful outside terraces. You have a GREAT team, Reza! read more

I think this was the best chicken piccata I have ever had!!! The chicken breast was huge, the green beans were fresh and not over cooked, the potatoes were crisp on the outside and soft on the inside and the sauce was perfecto!! I enjoyed the company and the atmosphere was pleasing. However, we had to wait for too long to order, the server when she got there told us she was very very busy and she would be right with us. Well, she was not right with us, it took a long time just to get water, bread, our order taken and finally our food. We felt practically invisible on this dining experience. At the end of our meal when we were ready to pay we had to chase down the same server for our bill and a box for my leftovers. I've been to Piatti many many times and this by far was the worst service we have received. I know this may have been out of the ordinary in the quality of service received, so we shall see the next time what happens with the level of service that is provided. I understand staffing is sparse everywhere since the pandemic. But good service still needs to be provided if staff expects gratuity. Just because you show up to work doesn't mean you deserve a large tip. Something to think about. read more

I picked Piatti for my birthday dinner (my 21st repeat bday dinner-lol). Let me tell you they never disappoint. We arrived and were greeted with a friendly "hello" and a quick trip to our table. The place was packed but they were on point with everything. Our server, Erin, was amazing, knowledgeable and hospitable. She answered our questions, made suggestions and had a patient and confident attitude. We shared a bottle of rose, several appetizers and were so full that we only ordered two entrees even though there were four of us--and couldn't complete the meal! We had delicious deserts and an espresso martini (which was more like birthday cake to me). I loved everything and would return again and again and also recommend to my friends. read more

How is it that I've been coming here for years and just realized they have AMAZING pizza? Oh yes, the slisicce pizza is now my favorite pizza of all time. Dreaming of it! I experienced a few times when the seafood is not fresh, and drink orders get lost, but aside from that the food here is consistently great. Sometimes it's hard to find your waiter, but the manager is always around to brighten your day and it's the kind of restaurant you would take your time in. read more

Bring back the polenta please. We always go for the meatballs with polenta, and they just swapped in mashed potatoes. Please - please - please, go back to polenta. Not a good call. We LOVE PIATTIs, the happy hour is amazing, and Norberto and Pete are our favorite bartenders. They make amazing martinis. But the meatballs are NOTHING without that amazing polenta! read more

We celebrate birthdays and special family occasions at Piatti. We love sitting on their outdoor patio and their menu has something for every taste. read more

Pretty tasty spot with a variety of food. It is expensive to me but it's in Danville so it's expected. The bread and dip is really good and has a unique blend of spices in the oil and vinegar. I recommend the olives and Brussel sprout appetizers. I've had the grilled chicken breast sandwich with a side salad and it's very good and very filling. The last time I went I tried the lemon ricotta ravioli with salmon added. It had great flavor but I did wish there was more of it. It felt very pricey for the amount of food. Overall it's a cute spot with good food. read more

Date night option that we enjoyed very much, sat outside in the very nice patio and enjoyed a fantastic meal with wine. Pizza, fish, salad, plenty of complimentary bread. It was fantastic, including attentive but not interruptive service. read more

A quick visit to miss a traffic jam going home. We were able to find a single seat at the bar, since it was fully booked but soon another place opened up, and we had a chance to get a glass of wine and some food. Friendly bartender, good pour while we perused the menu. Great complementary French bread with olive oil. Ordered a cup of the lentil soup that was nice and hot and tasty. The mista salad was fresh. Shared a good margherita pizza. The only lacking item was a very dry flourless chocolate cake but the accompanying vanilla bean ice cream was able to moisturize it... A nice double espresso was the finishing touch. All in all 5 stars, and will become a favorite place for great meals and ambience. Bon Appetit read more

My wife and I had a fantastic dinner here last weekend. Our pasta dishes were scrumptious - my bolognese was filling and full of rich flavor. The wines by the glass are solid, and white chocolate pudding dessert couldn't have been better. Our waiter was courteous, polite, and ensured we were taken care of without being overbearing. It was quite busy, and I can see why! read more

We have eaten here on multiple occasions, and we can say that every time we eat here, our experience is OK. The food is always decent, the restaurant is clean and we never had a problem with food not being fresh. Tonight, we went to Piatti's for dinner because we were already in the Livery. I ordered the salmon even though I was craving a burger but burgers are only served on the lunch menu until 4 PM. My partner ordered the rigatoni to share with the baby. When I ordered the salmon, I requested that it was cooked medium but it was cooked more medium well when it arrived. That wasn't so bad because the the chimichurri sauce on top was super flavorful! My partner ordered the rigatoni bolognese and it was cooked so perfectly that I will probably order that next time we come here. Since they were busy, the service was busy but it's okay because they were able to accommodate us without a reservation which was great! read more

Firstly, the door is pretty hard to find! Go up the ramp that says exit to get in. Went midday on a weekend and there wasn't really a wait. All of the portions were pretty good, ended up taking boxes home. Lasagna-pretty standard, smallish portion Margerita Pizza- pretty standard, reliable Mushroom Risotto- personal fav from the meal Caesar- good, average Their cocktails here are pretty strong. I think the prices are pretty reasonable considering it's a nicer restaurant. Service was really on top of it as well. read more

Don't get me wrong I love Piatti's. But never order the eggplant dish. I was so disappointed. and because I have never had a disappointing meal there, it was even harder to believe it was that bad. No discernible eggplant. It was a soupy mix of marinara cheese and mushy eggplant Ugh. Terrible. read more

I've been here a handful of times and their food is consistently good. I ordered the chicken piccata today. The portion was pretty good. They seem to be a roll with their piccata sauce as it repeats in their menu. Rightfully so, it's good. I subbed out the pasta for mash potatoes. Unfortunately not 5 stars for me. The waitress was "nice" but not really. She asked us if we wanted bread, like it was complementary (at least it use to be). We were charged $3. There is also an extra 4% employee fee tagged on. Extras fees don't sit well with me. read more

We love Piatti! We grew up in the area so we have been many times over the years, but recently, my husband and I had our rehearsal dinner there and it was amazing. Tami was the absolute best to plan with!! She answered all my questions (trust me...I booked over a year out so my type A really came out haha), was super prompt with communication and everything went perfectly!! We had the Tuscan room and I loved the customized menu options we could pick from. Everything was perfect...like you can't top the wedding day but the this was pretty close! It was a perfect evening with amazing food and service, thank you to everyone involved!! read more

UPDATE: Changed from 3 stars to 5 stars after receiving a message from management updating me on the menu items that were removed. I was told the Mary's chicken would return that week so we went in shortly after, and true to their word, Mary's chicken was back on the menu and tasted delicious as always! Thank you for listening to your customers! Went on the second day after they reopened and while the service was great, the menu was not. We were bummed that they took off the two items our family loves, the Mary's Chicken and the Chicken Parmesan. They recommended another chicken plate that they said was similar to Mary's Chicken. The chicken was similar with the exception it was 1/2 the size of what you normally would get, the stuff they paired it with I didn't care for at all. It appeared to look like large white beans and some other stuff mixed together, it looked and tasted like it was on top of bean soup. I always say, if it's not broke, don't fix it and I think they really made a mistake with the menu changes. I hope they return the Mary's Chicken and the Chicken parmesan because those were the items we went for! read more

Welcome back Piatti!! I love that they have daily happy hour (3-6pm) now! Stopped in after new restaurant renovations to see our favorite bartender, Norberto, and were greeted with a warm smile and the utmost in hospitality! Love the new happy hour and regular menu, cocktails are upskilled and diverse menu and appetizers. This will be our Saturday Happy Hour and Sunday Happy Hour spot going forward. Keep diversifying your offerings - loving the new vibe. read more

We went Piatti on Saturday for dinner. Food was tasty, and servers are super friendly. We had pork chop, salad and linguini. Food was ready relatively quick on Saturday 6:30 pm pick hours. Very enjoyed Italian cuisine in Piatti. read more

The ambience and the food were both terrific, but the only reason I didn't give them five stars was because it took way too long for the entree to arrive. Overall, they are still a great place to dine. The appetizer Brussels sprouts with bacon was amazing. Good portion size and could be an entree by itself. The bread with the dipping sauce was magical. So good I ate two plates of the sauce and two baskets of bread by myself before the appetizer even arrived. read more

The food was what's the best way to say it- seriously professional. Like no nonsense, push you back in your seat, we dare you to find better Italian food. I think the owner was trying to be our waitress. Maybe they were short staffed that day. There are waitress types for a reason, it's just something you can't fake. You know, sort of how directors direct, and actors act? Like that. Still, I'd return. read more

Like a previous reviewer - I have a problem with front of house. Calling up to make a reservation on a non busy day of the week at lunch hour couldn't give us any seat barr 5:15 and 8:15 - restaurant closes at 9 ! when asked about the booth seats - immediately there was 'they're all reserved' but you can go sit at the bar. I felt an air of arrogance in this hostess so I left my tel# for what it was worth with her. 5 minutes later she calls back to tell me we have a table at 6:15 but no booth . With this feeling of superiority coming from front of house - despite my better judgement - I took the slot - but after further thought cancelled it. I use to go to Piatti a lot up until a few years ago - stopped at pandemic - never did I feel this way before - but there's plenty of other choices out there - so we booked elsewhere - front of house needs work in better handling customers . read more

Parking was easy to find. We were brought complimentary warm bread and dip. The calamari was a large portion and enough for 4 adults to share. It was okay. I asked our server which pastas were made in-house. Seemed most of them are with the exception of a few. I appreciate the honesty. My chitarra with prawns was delicious. Thank goodness because the way it was plated was pretty awful. I was surprised how generous they were with the prawn portions. Unfortunately they weren't as generous with our dining companion who had also ordered the same. So some inconsistency there. The tiramisu had dark rum and seemed interesting. Unfortunately the rum was too overpowering for me and all I could taste was rum. I get trying to be different but classics are classics for a reason. On my way to the restroom, I saw they had a private event going on in the patio. It looked nice! The service was pretty good. read more

A nice classic eatery in the Danville Livery. This restaurant offers classic American/Italian dishes with great service and a wide selection of food to choose from. Offers indoor and outdoor seating, with many heat lamps that produce ALOT of heat so if you're cold and eating outside, just tell your wonderful server to turn on the heat! But beware, they are powerful! Eats: Lots of great eats, little on the pricey sides but well worth it. Definitely should try the calamari (family style) and prawns very delicious and well worth it. Entrees many to choose from, fish, meats, pasta, and poultry. The salmon was great, nice and crispy with yummy sweet corn. Desserts: Offers many desserts, gelato, cakes, and other sweets. Gelato was good, but caramel flavor was way to over powering and my group agreed. So if you like strong flavors, then the Carmel desserts are for you. Overall: A great location with lots of delicious and filling entrees to serve anyones needs. Recommend to try read more

Everyone in our group enjoyed all the food we ordered, from the appetizers to dessert. Next time, I will order again the PEI mussels and their pugliese bread is perfect with the dipping sauce. Don't leave Piatti without trying the bread! One in our group said the calamari is the best she had so far. It is very tender and crispy on the outside . Bruschetta is soo good it will definitely be a repeat on my next visit. I got the chiattara pasta, it lacks a tad of seasoning to my taste but the shrimp is so fresh. Chicken piccata is very tasty. Bolognese was also good and the lasagna is just okay. Generous addition of grated cheese for our pasta, can't beat that. There was also ample serving for the chicken panini. We got one bottle of Rose' -loved it. I saw some people brought their own bottle-not sure how much is the corkage fee. Can't hurt to bring your favorite wine. To end on a sweet note, we tried the bread pudding-just the right sweetness and paired well with the ice cream. Would love to get the pannaCota and tiramisu again next time. Our server though a little overwhelmed with the large group next to our table managed to deliver a good service. Will definitely come back. read more

Updating my previous review the service was pretty bad this time despite the fact that the resturent wasn't that busy but sever was way too arrogant and got the wrong pasta and wasn't even paying any attention and unfortunately we end up ruining our night. Won't go again or recommend. read more

Piatti was very good tonight... Unfortunately, bruschetta tomatoes / topping was cold. You could tell it had been in the fridge for hours / days.... ; I was disappointed in that, but our pasta dishes were excellent and so was the service. read more

The Bruschetta was covered in garlic! What a disappointment! The roasted butternut squash soup bland. My 2 guests truly enjoyed the salmon. The service was sporadic but overall okay. Everyone knows that you are unable to have a conversation as the acoustics are very poor. This was our second visit since the reopening. The first visit was very good; so I didn't hesitate in going once again. I'll think twice next time. read more

My friends and I visited this fine establishment for Mothers day. We received great service and friendliness from the hostess to the server the busser and even from the charming Manager who stopped and to say hello. Most places are so overwhelmed with guests that one can expect to be kept waiting on such a day. Not here! Thank you for making our day! read more

I used to love Piatti's, but it is not enjoyable now due to the EXTREMELY LOUD atmosphere. When the restaurant is full and busy, it is almost impossible to hear others at the table. It's a place for YOUNG people who don't care if they lose more hearing, but not for seniors, I'm sad to say. Food was excellent, service the same, but it was most UNPLEASANT because of the noise level. read more

Delicious food and amazing service from the beginning to end! My friends and I split a lot of food so we got to try a lot, our server was amazing and he was so on top of everything. I'll be back ! They even put my friends bday on the menu so cute read more

Wow. I have a few favorite Italian restaurants in the area, but this my friends, is now rated my best. Busy as hell with a great vibe, the inside is certainly hustling and bustling. Outside has a decent size patio, but too cold at night for this time of year. We were lucky enough to snag a table without a reservation, which is 99% recommended. The menu is small and doesn't have many of the usual suspects, but as my gf and I experienced, it's got wonderful choices despite. The waiter, Franco, was marvelous the entire meal, and helped guide us thru excellent choices. 1. Pugliese bread, dipping oil [$3, 5.0 stars] -- super warm and fresh, very crusty, huge portion, amazing dipping oil. 2. Drakes Amber ale [$8, 5.0 stars] -- draft, never have had before, loved. 3. Caesar Salad [$12 large, 5.0 stars] -- super crisp, delicious dressing, one of the best we've ever had. 4. Rigatoni [$25, 5.0 stars] -- beef & pork bolognese, maybe the best sauce I've ever had. 5. Gemelli [$25.50, 5.0 stars] -- twisted pasta strands, sausage, pancetta, swiss chard, garlic, pecorino & cream. We loved. 6. Pistachio biscotti & cream [$6, 4.5 stars] -- 5 pieces, medium sized, and wonderful fresh cream for a super price. 7. Decaf Cappuccino [$4.50, 4.5 stars] -- delish! In summary: =========== That's a lot of 5.0 stars! It's a winner! read more

Had a group dinner at Piatti. The ambiance was good and we were seated promptly. The place appears a bit cramped though. We started off with cocktails - good choice and good value for the money. Their wine list was limited. I started off with the beet salad that was very nicely made. Portions were just right. I then had their meat lasagna - good taste and the quantity was perfect. I would prefer a bit more meat in the sauce. I did not have desert - some other folks did. They raved about the Tiramisu. Service was courteous and quick. All in all, a good experience. read more

Our first time back after their remodel- the place looks amazing and it was packed. We didn't have a reservation but they were able to seat us in a cozy booth as long as we were done by a specific time. We never felt rushed and our server, Miguel was great. Our entries came out piping hot and fresh: oven roasted salmon, spaghetti and meatballs, shrimp pasta, and rigatoni with bolognese. We didn't have room for dessert but the choices looked tempting. Friendly staff at the host booth as well. read more

The private dining room at Piatti Sacramento has been perfect venue for my professional organization dinner meetings! Service is impeccable & the Pavilions location is central for most of my dinner attendees. The free parking is great since bring a former San Franciscan . I've dined at the original Piatti in Napa Valley & the cuisine is timeless, worth the experience! read more

This restaurant has been consistent for years. Good food (last visit food was a little salty and bland, but overall, typically, it's delicious). The atmosphere is nice and servers are great. Drinks are good too, I didn't like the Guava Cider though. If you haven't tried it, l'd make a reservation. You won't regret it. read more

Came to Piatti for my daughter's birthday dinner. The atmosphere is nice, bright and lively. The service is great and very attentive. The food is just ok, nothing to really rave about. We ordered the pesto deviled eggs and fried calamari to start. The eggs were ok but the egg itself tasted overcooked. The fried calamari had a good flavorful batter. For my main entree, I had the Spinach Ricotta Ravioli and added shrimp as protein. The raviolis were good but seemed like a small portion compared to the other dishes. Maybe because it was presented in a flat plain plate compared to the my daughters dish. My wife did tell them about my daughter's birthday, but no one came to sing to her unfortunately. Overall I would give this restaurant a 3.5 stars. Giving 4 stars mainly for the service and ambiance. read more

Returned for my Bday a few days ago and our server was much better this time ! My Chicken Sandwich was wonderful loved the red pepper aioli, for dessert the Tiramisu was so yummy!! I'm so happy a few items are back on the menu also such as Mary's Chicken! Sidenote- I would love to see mashed potatoes as an option on the menu instead of the white bean side dish. I will be back to Piatti !! This is one of my favorite restaurants!!! read more
