    If you like daily freshly made pasta this the place for you. I had three lemon cream ravioli. Absolutely delicious. My friend and I shared a citrus salad. Delicious. You can’t go wrong here.

    Went there recently for my birthday and what a fun surprise to see my name and Happy Birthfay printed on my menus for our table. Our food was prompt and delicious. Their homemade lasagna was a hit!

    Outstanding service and meals. We were there celebrating a birthday, and they made it very special. The noise level was high because there was an event at the same time, otherwise, it would have been perfect.

    We've been going to Piatti's for years. Our son's rehearsal dinner was held there. The food has always been amazing. But something's changed. I don't know if its under new management, new chef or they've just started cutting corners. Classic dishes are either no longer on the menu or are being prepared differently and not in a good way. And unfortunately they stopped serving brunch. This was our favorite brunch place. So sad to lose a favorite restaurant. I don't think we'll be back.

    Great food and excellent service. They even printed special menus for it, with the name of our birthday guest on our menus. A Very nice touch!
