   Food was great but service terrible. Was ignored by server. We ordered cocktails and indicated we wanted to order a bottle of wine with dinner. Had to ask for break since all tables around us got some. Food came, drinks empty no wine…no server. Again, food was great and it was delivered by executive chef.

   From beginning to end, we had a great experience. We went for August 2022 Restaurant Week, had the meatballs, arancini, chicken Milanese, chicken parm, limoncello panna cotta and chocolate mouse (there were 2 of us). One word, delicious. I would 100% go back. Even the Executive Chef came out to refill our water glasses and so we told her the food was amazing.

   Service and greeting were very slow. Seemed to have lots of people but didn’t seem efficient as to who did what and with what timeliness. Nice touch for chef to say hello. Patio beautiful! I appreciated the delicious ragu with gluten free pasta. Excellent food for restaurant week. I hope they do well! I’ll be back.

   Went there for restaurant week and enjoyed the meal but was medicore at best. Not sure if I would return. the salads were good as well as a the cheesecake. The truffle pasta dish and eggplant parm was medicore. The service was slow and our waiter didn't' have the best knowledge of wine we wanted besides she didn't' know how it tasted and that was it. Overall glad we tried it, it was decent, but wouldn't' repeat it.

   Ate during Restaurant Week. Chopped radicchio salad w/pear very nice, not overdressed. Arancini well fried and seasoned, soft inside but mushy. Hake baked in paper ($10 upcharge) was fresh, moist. Rigatoni (although boxed pasta) was cooked al dente with a nice ground pork and cream sauce. Limoncello custard just tart enough; less sugar and it would still be good. Cheesecake with a fruit reduction on the side was as expected, pleasant, nothing special. Cooking overall was very consistent. Attentive service; wines by the glass were reasonably priced for a high-end downtown location. Would return to see if other items on the menu are equally well prepared. Attractive outdoor patio is screened by bushes from street; tables well spaced for COVID.

   The patio and the service were amazing. The food is just okay. Disclaimer: I am from the SOUTH and I am a huge food critic. I had the lamb medium and it was flavorful but didn't pack a punch. The chimichurri sauce was great and so were the seasoned veggies and mashed potatoes. My partner had the baked white fish and the sauce was a tad bit bland. Our waitress was great and we enjoyed the downtown views. Restaurant week is a good week to go and try this place out.

    It was a very nice experience. It was a 6:30 reservation (and they were prompt unlike a lot of places even when you have a reservation) so there was a contingent of after work happy hour celebrators, but it was fine, it actually made it feel a bit jovial. Service was nice and pleasant and ver attentive without being right on top of us. Helpful with suggestions and answered all our questions, so I cant complain at all. Food was all around excellent and was nicely paced. We had a selection of appetizers (meatballs, calamari and Arancini) and then we ordered food and it was nicely paced and arrived just when we were getting hungry again. We had the braised Short Rib, The white fish in a seafood broth and Salmon and all were unique in taste and presentation. Desert (Tiramisu, ice cream and sorbet, Cheescake and Chocolate Mouse..all fantastic. Value is a hard one as it is a bt more expensive than average, but for what you get it is a value. We will return!

    We researched this place before hand and everything looked promising. Upon arrival, the place looked nice and near the White House for a post-dinner stroll. However, the service was really poor (e.g., we were served our meals but only offered cheese or red pepper flakes ten minute in; drinks were slow to arrive) and the food was mediocre (e.g., appetizers were barley warm, salads and food was generally over seasoned). Probably won’t go back.

    As always, chef Lina and team was amazing. Cannot recommend more for a casual yet nice dinner. Maybe just don’t wear your most casual look. Perfect for the downtown tourist scene looking for something more local yet close to White House as well as locals who are tired of the same ole places.

    Start to finish a lovely experience. Service was pleasant and prompt, food was delicious and very reasonably priced, and the atmosphere was upscale but not stuffy. The food was the highlight. We had the meatballs appetizer, fettuccine bolognese, seafood pasta and several deserts - everything was delicious.

    Brought my friend for her birthday and we both love it. We started with a round of cocktails. Then we had the Arancini and Caesar for our appetizers which were so good esp the arancini - yummsssss. Then we got the veal - perfection. And the rigatoni alla Juliana which was so good with just right amount of creaminess. Service was good too however needs a bit of improvement. Our server was nice. Overall, it was great. me and my friend had a great time. Kudos to Chef Lina and Juliana and their whole team. Cheers.

    Everything was excellent. The food was amazing! The best Italian restraint we’ve been too in a very long time. The wine list was comprehensive and offered a lot of choice and cocktails were great too, especially the Limoncello. The staff were all extremely helpful, polite, and not overbearing. We will definitely go back and recommend them to anyone looking for a great dining experience.

    First time visiting Il Piatto. Nice place. Met quickly at door by staff and wisked directly to our waiting table Our server Tiffany was immediately at our table to greet us and get us settled. We allowed our server to select the appetizers for our table of 4 We were brought calamari, meatballs and arancini. The meatballs were moist and cooked perfectly, the Arancini seasoned well and just the right size We continued to the pasta round with gnocchi with Gorgonzola and pasta with mushroom sauce. Both very sublime…seasoned well not over done. Next round were entrees to share. The lamb chops tender cooked perfectly and delicious, even for those of us who are not huge lamb fans. Accompanied with chicken masala. Thin but not too thin and cooked just right so still very tender and juicy We each had a dessert, tiramisu, chocolate mousse, and seasonal ice creams. All delicious and followed with the home made limoncello. I cannot say enough about our dining experience here. Ambiance, service food all incredible enough to get me to write a review which I never do. Cudos to the GM Paul (who made it a point to come by and check on us multiple times), and his team for making an impromptu evening out with friends a great evening. We will definitely be back to this new gem

    Avoid. Horrible service. We were seated outside to wet patio chairs. Waiter openly complained about the tip he received from adjacent table, remarking "what is this?!" Waiter breezed by and used paper that was in bread basket of another table blew into my friend's face. Waiter insisted that we give whole order at once- drinks, appetizers and food. Thats not how its done. Waiter brought the wrong order to the table and admitted to "mispunching" on the computer. Nothing was done to make up for his mistakes. Waiter clears table then just brings check. He never asks if we need anything else like dessert. Not that we would want anything after such a horrible experience. He changes his clothes to basketball shorts, tube socks and crocs then comes back to the table to let us know his shift has ended and he's leaving. Extremely poor service.

    Food was great! Only thing was that our waitress only offered still or sparkling water. So we were forced into buying water until we realized others were offered tap which we would have been fine with.
