Came here for brunch one Sunday and ate outside (always fun having a patio brunch on Newbury street). First of all, they don't have a brunch menu which is disappointing. So I ordered the pasta Bolognese. It was a generous portion which I appreciated however, the pasta was overcooked and honestly I can make a better bolognese at home. Not to say it was bad, it was actually good but I'm not sure I'd get it again. Our waiter was great, however. My friends all ordered wine and with it came a little description card. After I ordered water and jokingly asked where my card was, he brought out a hilarious card describing my water. Service: 5/5 Ambience: outdoor 4/5 Food: 3/5 read more

Ohh I am craving for it already. Went there over the weekend when the weather was good. Dinner time ambiance is intimate, fun and romantic. I ordered some eggplant dish ( super yum must order), pesto mushrooms pasta (ufff I want it again), and some salmon appetizer (can skip). It was great experience. I couldn't get enough. The complementary bread is hard crust and not as fun but ok. read more

spinach gnocchi was delicious. pizza was good although i wish it was more flavorful. I had mixed feelings about the chicken since part of it was dry and part of it was juicy, it was very flavorful though. Our server was nice. the restaurant was pretty quiet so it was a good location to catch up with a friend. read more

I have dined here many times especially when in town for the Boston Marathon weekend. The food is good my food has always came out hot and tasting great. I love the fact how there is quite a bit outdoor seating and it is right on Newbury street. Recommend coming here to have a meal if you are in the Boston area. read more

The food & drinks we got were decent! However the wait for food was somewhat long. The ambiance was cozy - we were in the back room. I think this is where they serve the "large parties" of 6+ people so it was very loud. We had a large party - so 20% gratuity was automatically applied. Explains the sub-par service from our waitress and her slight attitude. read more

We came here because a friend recommended it. We had about an hour wait time. The server we had was AMAZING! However, the prices felt high for the quality of food we got. Here is the breakdown of what we got: Meat lovers pizza: 8/10 Rigatoni alla vodka pasta: 8/10 Cacio a Pepe: 6/10 Burrata: 5/10 Summer salad: 7/10 Honestly, we probably wouldn't go back because of the high prices and other food options that would taste better. read more

Came in on a rainy Sunday night to have dinner with a friend - so delish! We both had the spicy margaritas- yummy. We started off with the garlic breadsticks and the burrata both delish.

Excellent Italian spot in Boston. I went after the marathon and was very satisfied. There's a lovely bar up front with a great selection (of scotches, of course) and the bar is separate enough from the tables to allow conversation with the staff and guests without disrupting dinner for anyone. The back room was cozy and the service was great. The truffle ravioli was fabulous, and, as you might imagine, the wine selection was excellent. A great place to spend any occasion! read more

Holy wow the food here was delicious! I particularly loved the wine pairing suggestions. I tried the burrata ravioli which did not disappoint! It's pretty cozy inside with tables pretty close together. Though this didn't take away from the intimate dining experience. Service was nice enough though she very much did not like the request to split checks (work expense). Came off as it was a major inconvenience. Nonetheless, I really enjoyed my meal and would recommend stopping in for a bite to eat! read more

Several weeks ago, I went to this Italian place on Newbury Street for dinner. I got the black truffle ravioli and cremini pizza to share. The black truffle ravioli was stuffed with mashed potatoes, black truffle, ricotta cheese, and mushrooms. It was so delicious! The cremini pizza had mushrooms, caramelized onions, ricotta cheese, roasted peppers, and mozzarella cheese on top. The pizza was airy and crispy at the same time. Awesome! For dessert, I got the tiramisu which was so good! Portions were generous and staff was friendly. This place is definitely a hidden gem on Newbury Street! read more

The lobster was fresh. I had a small piece of shell in one of the raviolis. We sat at a table in the bar area so the bar tender waited on us. Full glasses of wine. An intimate restaurant below grade in Back Bay. Definitely coming back. read more

An cozy spot off of Newbury St. though far too noisy to be intimate. Beautiful decor, really attentive staff, but I felt that the pasta missed the mark. Perhaps the dishes we chose were just missing the mark, but I found both the scampi and papardelle were underwhelming, bland yet too salted. I did appreciate that the pasta and short rib itself was cooked well. For Italian, I'd recommend looking elsewhere at Boston's many many options, but Piattini is certainly an option if you've been shopping around the area. read more

I went here cause I was craving Italian food and this had good reviews. My sister and I didn't think we could finish a pasta dish so we opted for a pizza. It was goat cheese and prosciutto with arugula. This was the perfect size for my sister and I. The pizza had a nice sweetness that balanced the saltiness from the prosciutto. I love goat cheese so that added a great flavor as well. Goat cheese and prosciutto are a great flavor combo. Our server was great and not too attentive. The ambiance was calming and we could hear ourselves talk which was nice. The pasta looked really good too so I would love to come back and try it. read more

Cute little spot that is very elegant and cozy! It is a great spot to try and enjoy some italian cuisine. I had appetizers: brussel sprouts with chorizo and prosciutto wrapped pears. My favorite out of the two is definitely the brussel sprouts with chorizo! For entrees, i tried the bolognese and short ribbed pasta! Both are delicious but i maybe liked the short ribbed pasta slightly more. I had to try the dessert which was the tiramisu. The waiter told us that the tiramisu is made by an Italian elder every morning so it could be had the next day. I enjoyed the tiramisu with a cup of cappuccino. The portion sizes are excellent and will keep you full and happy! The tiramisu is worth trying out and sharing it with another person. They did an excellent job with the taste of the meal and balancing it out to ensure that every customer leaves with a happy tummy! The customer service was wonderful, too! The prices are fair. It was great that they also have a mocktail selection so if you do not drink alcohol, like myself, try out the mocktails! I had the passion for mojito and it was good! I highly recommend this restaurant in the area! read more

I've had some really nice meals at Piattini. Sadly, tonight wasn't one of them. The pasta in the Bolognese was overcooked to the point of mush. To be fair, the waiter was nice about it, and offered to replace it. I was hungry, so declined. Had a caesar salad, not a hint of anchovy. It was all just really clunky. Not sure if I'll give it another try or not - I know what good food they're capable of there. Maybe just an off night. . . read more

Absolutely incredible experience from start to finish! A group of four of us came in craving good food and great drinks, and this place delivered. The service was wonderful too.

Really great experience- no reservations- walked in got great service - friendly and on time. The place is not obvious - need to look for it ( hint look low) Started with the Margherita pizza - perfect crust and large basil leaf. Short rib bruschetta was stacked to the hilt. Very worth the price. Finally the maple roasted Brussels sprouts and the olive oil cake rounded out the meal with a split bottle of Barbaresco - about $150 before tip. The atmosphere was fine - unpretentious but very comfortable. Also well lit!! We will be keeping this as a go-to for Newbury Street. read more

We reserved a table for 6 10 days in advance for Oct 9th for our daughter's 18th birthday celebration. It was a cold night and the sat our party outside at a table for 4 and added to chairs on the ends to make six. Not only was it freezing we were cramped on a cold patio eating in winter coats and everyone was freezing. We asked multiple times before we were seated explaining the importance of the night. So we ate very expensive pasta in the cold and left. Making a reservation for 7:30 in mid October well in advance should secure us a nice table inside. Unfortunately we were treated like walk in tourists. We will not return. read more

like everyone's mentioned, the ambiance is great and the service is even better. i'm just not an italian person, their tuna tar tar is super yum. the melanzane affumicate was okay just not an eggplant person, fusilli pasta was okay, didn't really have a strong pesto flavor. the rigatoni was also okay, i added chicken and it just didn't have any flavor i just tasted tomato and cheese. the chicken parm was huuggeee but once again just a bunch of pasta with sauce and chicken. read more

On a lovely late September afternoon, I found myself at a table on Piattini's patio. There was a street festival happening, the weather was perfect, and the sun was shining. I was meeting up with my auntie and grandma who I hadn't seen in years, and they were oh so late. Like, an hour and 15 minutes late? I felt terrible hogging up the table, but the server was so kind and patient. Kept checking on me and was very friendly. when they finally arrived, auntie and I both ordered the Gamberetti salad. I enjoyed it so much, I've tried to re-create it at home. The shrimp and arugula with the vinaigrette were perfect enough. Plump, flavorful shrimp- then the addition of goat cheese, candied pecans, and dried cranberries offered a full palate sensation. So delicious. I also loved the bread and olive oil. This was the best olive oil I had ever tasted- fruity, clean, and mild. I messaged the restaurant and they were kind enough to share the brand name with me! I don't find myself in Boston very often, but if I do, Piattini will be an absolute stop for me! The menu is carefully crafted and everything sounds delicious. read more

An overall "meh." I was in town for a conference and chose this spot as close to the event and supposedly both good for the food and reasonably child-friendly, as we would be three adults and one quiet four-year-old. But I was disappointed (and rather embarrassed to have chosen it for my professional friends!). The food was not especially flavorful, and we all had to add both salt and pepper to make it even half interesting; the service was also unpleasant--not bad or rude, exactly, but unfriendly and not interested in us or our experience. We were also seated right next to a huge group of boisterous women, although the restaurant was half empty, so my party had a really hard time hearing each other. It's a pleasant space, I'll give it that, but I wouldn't recommend spending your money there. read more

the absolute best and we went to all the nicest restaurants on Newbury. I highly recommend

The small restaurant was surprisingly delicious and cute. The restaurant was backlit with warm lighting and was one of those restaurants that was dark but in a casual, calm and elegant way. It would be great to take your family too (although a bit small) to catch up, catching up with a friend, or a romantic date. It was such a cute restaurant. We ordered the meatballs to share and it was above average, but I thought they were a bit soft for my liking. Overall they had a delicious simply red sauce and the pairing of the cheese on top was great. I got the Penn con zucca and it was surprisingly delicious. It had a great savory flavor with a hit of sweetness and a umaminess from the cheese (?) The flavors were more complex than I thought it would be. It was a great meal and I think I would order take out simply for that dish if I was specifically craving it. I would recommend for sure if you're not scared of a little funk from the cheese or something in the sauce. My waiter recommended it and he was great. The service overall were really nice. read more
