If you're heading to Piatti with a group, skip the individual entrees and go full family style. It's the definitive way to experience the menu. We had a reservation and waited a few minutes longer than expected, a small grievance quickly forgotten once they sat us near the kitchen with a sightline to the live music, which was actually good. Meatballs, lemon pizza, and caesar salad to start. The caesar has been better elsewhere, but the other two were excellent. The wood fired pork chop, saffron spaghetti, and radiatore that followed were all really good. We finished with the strawberry bread pudding and aperitifs, staying much longer than we needed to. The room feels like a place people return to, filled with neighborhood regulars, which is always a good sign. But the real story is Claudia, our server. Everything arrived exactly when it should, every question was answered before we finished asking it, and nobody at the table wanted for anything all night. That kind of service is rare and she made the whole evening feel effortless. If you go, hope you get her. read more

So good I didn't get any pictures!! I'm an in-home caregiver and was given a gift card for Piatti for Christmas! Hubs and I made an early dinner reservation and enjoyed every minute! From the moment we walked through the door (which was held open by one of the staff who was arriving for her shift) we were treated with kindness and appreciation! Anthony was our server and he was exceptional! Just the right amount of checking in during our meal and the timing of everything was perfect! We started with cocktails - the Paper Plane for me and the old-fashioned for hubs. Both were delish. We had the meatballs and bread with dip to start! The sauce on the meatballs was deliciously tangy! Next up we split a Caesar Salad. If you like anchovies you are in luck! We asked for them, thinking maybe there would be one, but there were 5 big pieces on each plate - too much for us, but nice to know they don't skimp! I really appreciated that they allowed me to try a couple of wines before I decided which one would be my choice! My original choice would not have been as good as the one I landed on. I got the gnocchi and hubs got the New York steak. His was cooked perfectly and mine was delicious. I brought half of mine home and he brought 1/3 of his steak. Had to save room for dessert! The brown butter pear bread pudding for dessert was the perfect end! We look forward to a return trip! read more

This was my first time coming to Piatti in Sacramento. I previously dined at a location in the Bay Area, which was probably over 10 years ago. Safe to say I was just as impressed with the quality of food and service the 2nd time around. I arrived a bit earlier than my party, so I sat at the bar and ordered a glass of bubbly. The bartender was very friendly and attentive until I was ready to be seated. I ordered the Mafaldine Carbonara ($29), which was flavorful and perfectly portioned. I love the fact that their pasta is homemade... you can definitely taste the difference. Little did I know that they had their own private label wine, so I had to order a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon. Not as bold in flavor, but very smooth. This restaurant definitely fits in with the vibe of the Pavilions. Perfect for any occasion! read more

Piatti is a well known upscale restaurant in Sacramento and for good reason. They make their pasta fresh and only use the best ingredients. You have to pay more but it's worth it. I ordered the Creste di Pollo and it was absolutely wonderful. Meat was delicious and of course the pasta was spectacular because they make it there. I loved it! read more

After enjoying several wonderful lunches and dinners (and a few visits to the bar!), we chose Piatti to host a luncheon for our mother's 100th birthday. The staff could not have been more responsive and accommodating. My sister worked with Cody regarding the planning. When we arrived, the private dining room looked elegant and welcoming. We kept Liza, our server quite busy and she more than rose to the occasion, handling food and drink orders for 20+ people. Her service was prompt with just the right amount of attention. She also helped my sister transport gifts to the car. Thank you Liza, Cody and crew for making this a memorable event for our mom and our guests (they had a blast!). read more

I like a lot of things about Piatti's. The location is cool because of the after dinner shopping that can be had. Also lots of other great restaurants nearby. Piatti's sources locally. Lastly handmade pasta. I'm sold on all three. My favorite dish was their pork chops. Cooked medium with a delious crust. The pollenta added a punch of flavor and made this dish craveable for our next trip here. The persimmon Caprese was interesting. It was deinfirely sweet and savory. I love the original version but this one was nice surprise. The restaurant itself is roomy enough and has a bar that you can hang out as well. The seating was comfortable and very nice. I liked it a lot. Overall a great place to have inventive Italian food! read more

I was invited to a special event and enjoyed an excellent and filling meal at this elegant little jewel located in the Pavilions. Although the parking can be kind of sparse, I was able to find a convenient location. Our meal included a soup or salad, and I chose the Caesar salad, and it was delicious. For our main course I ordered the roasted chicken, which was perfectly seasoned and was more than I could eat. The meal ended with a delicious lemon tart, which brought me back to my childhood with each bite. It reminded me of my grandmother's lemon meringue pie, and I had to take it home because I had so much food, which I took home with me. My friend ordered the bakeless chocolate cake, which she devoured. read more

My husband and I attempted to eat here. We went in around 7:45pm. We were sat down and given utensils, menus and empty glasses. It was busy but after 15 minutes not one waiter or waitress had checked in with us. There were waiters, waitresses, servers, and hostests walking all around us helping other tables. After 15 minutes of sitting there and having no one checking in or even saying hello, we left the restaurant. He walked over to Mikuni and within an hour, we'd had appetizers, mains, drinks and dessert and the check. The food at Piatti's looked and smelled fantastic, the atmosphere was very nice too. Unfortunately, the lack of service turned us away. There is no excuse for not even checking in on a table to say something like, "be right with you." read more

We stopped by here on the way back from Apple hill and were in dire need of food so we ordered quite a bit. The atmosphere was nice, especially since it was a warm, but not too warm night, so we could sit on the patio outside. The bread from the appetizer "bread service" was simple but delicious. The bread was cooked well and soft, not chewy or too hard. The dipping oil had garlic and was lighter and more flavorful than typical dipping oils. We really enjoyed it. The arugula salad was nice. The Nantes carrots were truly a vegetable blend. It did mention multiple veggies, but I would've thought it was primarily carrots the way it was listed. The carrots also tasted the best so I wish there was more. It was lukewarm which was also odd. The margarita pizza was okay. Not bad at all, but nothing too special. The impossible lasagna was great. As a vegetarian we are lucky to get one dish on the menu, but a full dish instead of just an afterthought feels like such a victory. This is honestly what drove us to pick this restaurant over any other place. The potato gnocchi was also delicious. The biggest flavor bomb was the pureed butternut squash with pomegranate seeds at the bottom. I wish there was twice the amount, it was truly the best part. The waiters were not the kindest or fastest which also gave a weird vibe at times, but overall the food was pretty decent, and there were multiple options for me to eat which I appreciated. We will be back. read more

I have been here a few times now and always had a positive experience. Service is always great and the food comes out in a reasonable time. I would definitely recommend a reservation on weekends because they do get popular with events. The food is good but I wish there was slightly more flavor especially on the sauces! read more

Piatti is quickly becoming one of my go-to restaurants whenever I'm in Sacramento! I've been twice now, and both visits left a lasting impression. We came for a couples date night on a Saturday around 7 PM with a reservation. We were seated right away and offered bread with oil. At first, we thought it was complimentary, but later saw it was an added charge--something to keep in mind. Our main waitress was warm and attentive, checking in often. Some of the additional servers were a bit forgetful (like when we asked for new utensils or a bread refill), while others were incredibly observant and stepped in exactly when we needed them. The food did take about an hour to arrive, but given it was a busy weekend dinner rush, we expected a more relaxed pace. This definitely felt like a "slow down and savor" type of dining experience. As for the food, I tried the bucatini on my first visit and loved it, though I was told the menu had changed recently. This time, I ordered the spaghetti with prawns--while the prawns were tender and well-prepared, the bell pepper flavor gave it a bit of a chow mein vibe. The carbonara was tasty but leaned heavier on peas than pork, which threw off the balance a little. The ravioli, on the other hand, was excellent with its bright lemon flavor, though we wished the portion included a couple more pieces for the price. Drinks were solid all around, and our table was happy with the cocktails and sangria. Overall, Piatti is a beautiful spot for date nights, birthdays, family dinners, or even work gatherings. Just be prepared for a leisurely pace--it's the kind of place where the experience is just as important as the meal. Our Dinner Order: * 2 Spaghetti * 1 Carbonara Pasta * 1 Ravioli * 1 Basil Berry * 1 Old Fashioned * 1 Sangria * 1 Watermelon Margarita * 1 Ciabatta Bread & 1 Fritto Misto Total (without tip): $251.54 read more

Took my 2nd Mama for lunch and we sat outside on the patio. The hostess made sure our umbrella shaded our table and our server was attentive, but not pushy. We had the lemon pizza and it was delicious. Enough for 2 with room left for the strawberry bread pudding. Yum! We sat and enjoyed the patio while listening to the birds in the fountain. Definitely a wonderful lunch. read more

I have been to here twice and both were for special events so we had private rooms. The service is amazing and attentive. The food is delicious and the drinks were flowing. I love that they leave a bottle of water on the table for quick refills. I had the Arugula salad and Mary's Half Chicken. I love having fruit and cheese in a salad and the vinaigrette dressing was bright and light. Mary's chicken was cooked to perfection. The skin was crispy and the meat was soooo tender and juicy. The croutons and cherries were a nice twist. For private events this place is fantastic. The pre-planned menu is simple to order from and the privacy is perfect for having speeches or getting a little rowdy. read more

Wow first time here. Let me tell you I was super impressed!!! My partner and I came here and didn't know what to expect. I live close by and I've always been curious to try this place, so we decided today was the day! It's tucked in the pavilion plaza with ample parking spots. There is outdoor seating and indoor seating as well. When you arrive you're greeted by the hostess, we were sat down right away. We opt for the high top table, which I prefer because I'm taller anyways so I sat comfortably. Our server was super friendly, so sad I didn't get his name but he was super nice and very attentive. Asked us if we had any questions about the menu and was very informative. We started off with the carpaccio and wow. The flavors were so GOOD! it was spot on. The lemon and the zest everything just went so well together ! We ate that up real fast! My boyfriend really liked that too! He also liked the fresh bread with oil. That was super good too and I'm usually not a big bread person. We ordered the saffron spaghetti and the ravioli... omg. So much flavor. The flavors just mix so well. I was super impressed!!! It was so good! Every bite I had was just an explosion of flavor. I highly recommend you get these !! Or just come here and try it out. It's super nice and cute inside. Very intimate setting as well. Not too loud not too quiet just right. I didn't get any wine but maybe next time I will. For dessert we got the bread pudding and let me tell you... it was so good. Like omg I couldn't explain it. My boyfriend and I killed it within 1 min HAHAH it was so good! Overall I would come back, service was good, super clean atmosphere, fast, affordable and cute for dates read more

Had dinner at Piatti last night. Love this place! Food and service always 10/10. Our server was extremely attentive despite how busy his section was. The restaurant has an established feel to it, fresh ingredients and clean down-home ambience. Everyone from Paul, the GM, to the hosts really made the night special. Eric was great, the cherry on top! I'll definitely be back soon. read more

The first time I went to Piatti about two years ago I was unimpressed and bummed about the prices. I didn't have much desire to come back. However, I had an inkling more recently that I should try again. And I am glad I did. The ravioli is *chefs kiss*. Like extremely crave-able with perfectly balanced flavors and tender pasta. The lemon is subtle but also the star of the dish. The cream isn't overpowering or too heavy. It's beautifully crafted. And the nociono old fashion was incredible!! While I still don't love the prices - $28 for 6 ravioli, the flavor will have me coming back. I also loved the atmosphere. Elevated and perfect for special occasions or catching up with friends. read more

We celebrated my mother's in laws 80th birthday. It was a perfect way to celebrate. Delicious food, ambiance was formal enough to make the birthday important and casual enough that we didn't have to over dress. Food was delicious, wait staff was detailed. Will come back again and again. Thank you. read more

This was my first time visiting Piatti and I was there on a cold and overcast Sunday after a comedy show at Punchline. We were seated indoor and the place has a friendly, family yet upscale and put together vibe. Our server was patient and competent. I had the Carbonera which was amazing with the in house made pasta but a bit in the salty side for me overall with the bits of meat. I also expected to be a bit more creamier. We shared a side of the fall vegetables and they were deliciously well done with balance of crunchy but sautéed at the same time. I throughly enjoyed the fresh micro greens on top as well! I would def return to this location next time I am in the area! read more

Let me start this review with saying the food is delicious! The pasta is absolutely homemade. BUT the service is so bad it's not worth it. There were 4 of us and we waited 30 plus minutes for a round of drinks! Not mixed drinks- beer and wine. It took over an hour to get our food. Will not go back! Lots of good Italian food in the area with better service! read more

Forever one of my favorite spots! Delicious drinks. Great salads and pasta dishes. I've celebrated birthdays at this lovely location, taken kiddos to dinner for good grades and grabbed drinks with the girls. Also perfect for date night! Inside has a great vibe. Warm lighting and a lively bar. Outside during the summer months is wonderful, with white lights throughout the trees. Service has always been excellent. Their servers have been there forever (indicative of good peeps). And after being ignored at both Wildwood and Berkley Bar (two bars a few steps from Piatti) for a quick 3pm drink - we landed at Piatti and were promptly served by the lovely Brandon. 10/10. Piatti never fails. read more

The food was delicious, and the atmosphere what you would expect. The service was pleasant.

When my wife and I arrived, I waited outside and Hostess #1 told me she would have to see if they could open the patio because it might rain. My wife asked another hostess who I assume got the third person who informed us that they only allow service animals. I acknowledge we looked a little rough because we had been camping, but tell us there is a dress code, before telling us something stupid like only service animals on the patio... when there wasn't anyone else using the patio and I'm staring at your bring Fido sticker on your window. read more

Consistently bad meals. The ragu was bitter, acidic and had a rusty/sharp flavor. The pizza crust was soggy in the center of the pie, because the oven was obviously not hot enough. Three ravioli lunches on the same table were severely overcooked to the point where the pasta was basically mush. This is really sub-standard Italian food in a pseudo fancy environment. Don't let the nice decor fool you: this is NOT how Italian food should be for people who can tell the difference. read more

We have frequented here on several occasions and they do an excellent job with service & food. One time we were here at the same time as the Governor was. Our latest visit was for dinner yesterday. Yup on a Monday! We met our best friends here. Actually we originally had plans to dine at a former place nearby but at that place their bar tables inside were all taken bc of a garden party so we had sat down for ten minutes at a booth clearly in the back so we left bc no one came to serve us which was extremely rude! At Piatti's our waiter Brandon acknowledged us right away & served us water with an extra flask. Here you receive plenty of food that you don't leave the restaurant hungry. In fact our food arrived within minutes of our order & they even split my chopped salad with a raspberry vinaigrette for my wife & me. My wife's frito misto was heavenly & so much food in that one dish that she could have shared it with me. Her aioli was quite spicy too yet tasty! Thank goodness for the water! We also had a good sized plate of delicious brussel sprouts & delish meatballs too that I think my wife over ordered food wise! That's ok as we don't mind leftovers. Our bestie friend ordered the cioppino & it wasn't soupy like most places. In fact my wife wants to order that the next time we come here! Lizz was hangry & raving about the chunky salmon pieces. Woohoo! It looked scrumptious & mouthwatering! I have had the margarita pizza in the past & wife had the chicken but she said the cioppino is calling her name for our next future visit Our favorite area to sit is inside the restaurant at the bar height tables. We have sat in the in between bar & patio area. It was too chilly yesterday to sit outside & especially since our friends & I didn't have a jacket. Parking was free & conveniently out front. Piatti at the Pavilions is absolutely a divine classy restaurant to dine. We will be back again & again! read more

Came here after a different spot didn't have what I wanted to order, but I'm glad we found this spot instead! The restaurant is so pretty. Felt a little intimidated at first because we were dressed extremely casually, but the hosts were so friendly and welcoming. Our server was too! My family and I all ordered different things, but every single dish was so good. Literally no notes. Can't wait to come back again! read more

Had lunch at Piatti for our sons Birthday. It was somewhat busy There were two events during the time we were there - nice to see Piatti has two semi private dining areas. Service excellent and food excellent. Enjoyed pizzas, salmon and lasagna. For desert we ordered Bread pudding, Olive cake (comped for Birthday Guy) and affogatos. Deserts were so delightful.

I love this place! I have eaten here many times, it's one of me & my boyfriend's favorite date night spots. The food and service is always amazing, I have never been dissatisfied with the food or service we've received. Their ciabatta bread and dipping oil is an absolute must. I always get the bolognese and a side of the crispy potatoes to share. My boyfriend loves their meatballs and minestrone when they have it. Definitely would recommend! read more

Truthfully, this would be a 4.5. We enjoyed our first experience here and both said we'd come again. There is plenty of seating which makes it great for celebrations ans large groups. Satisfying meals, tasty cocktails, and a free dessert (of your CHOICE) on your birthday. Lovely! We had the fried Brussel sprouts (outstanding!), saffron pasta (so good and spicy!), buccatini with clams (good!), kids cheese pizza (huge!), and four cocktails. The kids menu comes with an included Gelato dessert and hubby got a free dessert of his choosing. We ordered the tiramisu (delicious!) and affogato (spectacular!) to share. It was all very tasty, service was great, cocktails were yummy, and the ambiance was lovely. We will definitely be back for another special occasion. read more

Everything was perfect!! My gf and I had a girl date and decided to come here from Stockton. We sat outside and it was a perfect night! We sat next to the fountain and there was live music. Our server was Nemo and he was PERFECTION! I'll ask for him next time! We got FRESH stuffed blue cheese dirty martinis, the arugula salad was incredible with a Calabrian chilli mint vinaigrette. We got the yogurt & carrot side and the gnocchi with mushroom and asparagus. Everything was INCREDIBLE!!!! I'll definitely be back!! read more

This is a go to date spot for us, as it's consistent and good. Unfortunately, the menu doesn't change much so we can never get anything new. This isn't the worst thing though, because we actually like everything. Chop salad is a must, great meat to veggie ratio and tons of flavor. Probably my favorite chop salad of any I've ever had. Pasta mains are all great, can't go wrong. They are all rich. Decent wine list, we normally order by the glass as we like different grapes. Patio is excellent, they have space heaters for when it's cool. Ambiance inside is nice, we just prefer the patio. There are a lot of regulars here so make a reservation! Staff is always nice, we love going to Piatti. read more

Piatti - Spicy pepperoni, Margherita pizzas; Radiatore - Italian Near Me - Sacramento, California

We celebrated my good friend's birthday and it was a lovely dinner. Piatti is tucked inside of the Pavilions Shopping Center. I love this mall with some of my favorite shops like Athleta and Williams Sonoma. It's charming and quaint just like the inside of the restaurant. We shared Fritto Misto as an appetizer. I like the jumbo prawns and calabrian chili aioli sauce, but the flavor or seasoning was lacking a little. The fresh ciabatta bread with piatti signature dipping sauce made up for it. Highly recommend the bread, especially if you plan to order pasta. I had the Radiatore with 6 hour beef & pork bolognese, grana padano, seka hills olive oil. It was hearty with a burst of flavors. It tasted even better the next day as leftovers. My friend got the fried pork chop, and it was juicy and savory. The cripsy crust gives it even more flavor. The side of polenta was the best part! I can't cook polenta for the life of me, and I always try to order it when I dine out. The consistency was perfect, and the sweet corn was the cherry on top. Delicious! A nice wine list, and we both enjoyed our choice of red wine. Our server Donna was very attentive and friendly. Beautiful outdoor patio with umbrellas, heaters, and small fountains. They have live music on Friday and Saturday night on the patio. I'm already planning to come here for my anniversary. read more

Picked this as a spot to try out for our family dinner and we were not disappointed at all. Piatti is inside a shopping center so parking wasn't a problem and it being a Monday night, the restaurant wasn't overly busy. The restaurant has an elevated but cozy vibe to it and there's plenty of seating inside, outside or near the bar if you're trying to catch a game and grab a drink. Donna was our server and she was great and very attentive to our needs. Everything we ordered was great, but I would say my favorites were the Ravioli, Cured Meats & Cheese Plate, and the BREAD. Anything from the flatbread, pizza crust, and the baguette we were served was delicious and served a double purpose to mop up any sauces or flavored oils that were left on plates. Will definitely be back again to try more dishes on their menu. read more

They have a very nice outdoor dining area. We had lunch there and the food was very good. I'd definitely go back.

Treat yourself to a great meal! I went in to try Piatti with a friend, I figured I tried a new spot. I always go to Wildwood which is a few steps down. Anyhow, I loved everything I ate starting with the fresh hot baked bread with dipping sauce, to the main entrees the New York steak with potatoes and the carbonara pasta to finishing off with a tiramisu. I also had a glass of the Chianti which was really good but after trying the Barbera that was the best red wine for me. It was this medium bodied, fresh and slightly plum sweet notes to me! I highly recommended it. The service was top notch! Ambiance was great. Beautiful small and cozy restaurant. read more
