    The food and service was excellent. The manager Katie came to check on us, which was so great. She made us feel special. Love the extra touch of flowers for Mother’s Day.

    Food was outstanding as usual. I love the consistency, which makes it a great place to go. We celebrated a friend's birthday there and it was perfect. Our waiter seemed a little distracted and we didn't see him much but maybe that was due to the busyness on a Saturday evening.

    Patrick, who cared for my companion and me, is calmly efficient, warm, friendly, and welcoming. His attentiveness was offered at the perfect level of comfort and hospitality. I requested an outdoor table, and the management kindly accommodated my preference. The outdoor venue is outstanding, and it's a treat to dine in a tranquil setting beneath their iconic tree. However, what will make me hesitate to return is that on the menu, there is a discreet and tiny notation regarding the restaurant "politely declining the splitting of a check." I have never been confronted by this scenario in my many decades of dining around America and the world. I stand to correction, but this was a first! Besides this observation, Piatti is a lovely venue with superlative care and ambience.

    Excellent service coupled wonderful food and incredible attention to detail. I was also amazed with the value…from the ambience, the atmosphere, the service, the quality, to the flavor of the food; one would expect to pay much more. Our server, Cesar, was very attentive without being intrusive. We celebrated my wife’s birthday and we couldn’t have been more pleased with our choice of dining here. Thank you for offering such service and quality for a reasonable price!
