My god-brother took me to this Italian tea in Danville. First, what a lovely town. Then comes the food ~ everything we ordered tonight were so delicious !! The Skillet Prawns has corn bread underneath it and it was so good ! The linguini and clams were lovely too. Overall, it was a very pleasant dinner for me. Highly recommended and will definitely come back a again read more

Fancier place, great food, prompt service, expensive, nice location. I came here to celebrate a birthday and was happy with the overall experience. They were surprisingly busy for a Wednesday night but had no issues seating our reserved party of 16. Also had custom birthday wishes printed on our set of menus! I went with the Gemelli Pasta Sausage & Pancetta, which was fantastic. Well prepared and a great balance between the basil and cheeses. It wasn't your average pasta. Serving size was more than enough as well. I should say though that the people with me weren't too enamored by the mushroom pizza dish. At the end of our meal, our server was kind enough to throw a few slices of tiramisu in for the birthday folk. We also ended up ordering bread pudding, which was a warm sweet bread base topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Overall, great experience and especially good for special occasions in groups of all sizes. Would recommend! read more

Piatti has been a family favorite restaurant for birthday celebrations! I always appreciate the personalized birthday menus. I recently celebrated my birthday at Piatti's with my family and we enjoyed a wonderful dinner. The service was attentive and the food was good. Bread with Dipping Oil-this used to be complimentary but I'm happy to pay $3 for their bread. Piatti's dipping oil is addictive. So good! Chopped Salad-refreshing salad with a good mix of ingredients. I enjoyed the feta, hearts of palm, olives and garbanzo beans all tossed in a light vinaigrette. I asked for light dressing and it was perfect! Rigatoni Bolognese-great dish with plenty of meaty sauce! Chitarra Pasta with Sautéed Prawns-this was my favorite tasting pasta and sauce. The noodles were still firm and the sauce was light and full of seafood flavor. Unfortunately, the prawns were all overcooked!! Gemelli Pasta with Braised Lamb-this was a very hearty dish was a strong meaty flavor. My oldest loved it and wanted it all to himself. Lasagna-very well done and what a generous portion! We ordered a few desserts and I was treated to a birthday tiramisu. The flourless chocolate torte was decadent and really good with the berry sauce. Delicious dinner and we'll be back! read more

We have been going to Piatti's for 20 plus years and here is a honest review.....apps good, cocktails good, but dinner wasn't a four star. Pasta isn't fresh and was under cooked, and had to return. If it was fresh, it wouldn't require to be cooked that long. Server needs to retire as she is burned out after 30 years. read more

I've been to my fair share of Italian eateries. I've been to Italy. This place is LEGIT! Don't skip out. We came for my birthday- btw they write your name on the menu to make you feel extra special. You totally do btw! The food- get the olive oil/garlic mix for the bread. Your life is not complete till you do. The bread is baked on site - it's warm and just makes you feel like your loved. The lasagna is some of the best I have EVER had. Like ever. I'm drooling just thinking about it. Not one dish disappointed. Not one! The staff is attentive and kind. Brought out a Tiramisu and sang to me. Even made my kids participate! Don't sleep on this place. It's amazing! read more

Service & food was outstanding! It was the first time & we totally enjoyed the food & ambiance. It was quite busy , with lots of big parties around us. Franco was on point though he seemed a tad bit standoffish but maybe he was trying to read us. I think he figured out we were easy going & totally enjoying our meal which was absolutely delicious from beginning to end ! We were very impressed everything that was a hot dish was hot & not lukewarm including the bread! We will definitely be back. read more

It's been a while since I've been to Piatti. My kids were still little and I wasn't a Yelp elite yet. From what I remember it was good. My kids ordered the make-your-own pizza. We returned to celebrate my mom's birthday. We made reservations on Open Table. When we got there, the place was packed! As we walked in, there seemed to be a hold up. Well, they were checking proof of vaccination cards and ID. We didn't know about this and luckily I had mine and my family's saved on my phone. But my mom, she had to dig around to look for it. Thank goodness she found a picture on her phone. I wish we were told about this when they confirmed our reservations. The waiter said they do but we only got a text confirmation to see if we were still coming. The staff was friendly and worked at attending to their customers. Waters were served. They asked for our drink orders, and they asked if we wanted bread and dip. The drinks and bread arrived quickly but there was a slight wait between ordering our entrees and getting our food. The salad arrived after our entries. :( I ordered the Pomegranate Ginger Martini. Pretty but a little to sweet for my liking and light on the alcohol. For dinner we ordered: Chopped Salad - I like the combination of ingredients with olives and different beans. A little overdressed but overall delicious. Chicken Marsala - my son cleaned his plate! Must be good. Chitarra - I loved the al dente pasta. Great flavor. Nice heat. Casarecce - pretty and tasted good. I like the burrata on top, but there was too much water in the bowl. Gemelli - tasted okay. The pasta texture was good. The lamb was overdone and overall, the dish was too dry. read more

First of all, our service was fantastic! Even though it was a fairly busy Saturday lunch service, we were well taken care of and kept hydrated(it was very hot today!) Our server was so sweet and had a beautiful unique name I can't remember. Ambiance was casual though there were several parties celebrating birthdays and other occasions a bit more dressed up but didn't look out of place. The food was just ok. We got the bread service, meatballs, Margherita pizza and the risotto. The bread was fine, the balsamic was flavorful, but nothing outstanding overall. We loved the meatballs and they had terrific cheese pull that we were sorry after we didn't get video of it was so good!!! The pizza and risotto were ok, but nothing to wow about. Because it was our first time, we also got the bread pudding, panna cotta and a scoop of vanilla bean gelato. The bread pudding was pretty good and I liked the gelato, but the panna cotta was not the most flavorful. Tasted like cheesecake and came with a generous helping of berry compote. We had mistakenly thought it would be vanilla bean flavor so that's on us, but overall not memorable to crave again. Standout service and loved the meatballs for sure, but if we came back, I might try a lunch panini or other pasta. read more

Food was good. Service was not good at all. It wasn't super busy. Took a while to get the food. I would try it again if the service gets better. Had hoped it was better given that this is a more upscale place. read more

service and atmosphere exceeded only by the preparation of our meals. Good to have them back.

6:15pm, night of Mother's Day. Waiting 30 mins to just be greeted over at Tides. We all look at each other and I pick up the phone and call Piatti. They have room for us. We head over. Food was ABUNDANT and delicious. We had salads and calamari-- the prawns were delicious. 10/10 recommend. Everything was quick and hot. Fit us in very last minute and took what could have been an upsetting situation and made it amazing. Thank you! read more

This is one of the last remaining Piatti in the bay area. It is an average Italian restaurant that has great ambiance and service. If you care a lot about ambiance and service, then this place is for you. If you want Italian food with more flavor, then go to one of the Italian places in Danville downtown, as there are several. The food here is okay, but given the price point, just not worth it for me. If you do go, be sure to make a reservation as it can get crowded. They have large tables and rooms so this place is good for large gatherings read more

Piatti made my birthday unforgettable! From handwritten notes signed by the team to a warm, candlelit ambiance and beautifully presented dishes, every detail felt special. The freshly baked bread and open kitchen, where the happy staff worked with care, added to the experience. A perfect spot for a memorable family meal--highly recommend! read more

my wife and I ate there last night. This is the second time we've been there since they've modified their menu and upgrades to the restaurant. I had the lasagna and it was probably the worst I've ever had at any restaurant. My wife chicken and it was OK in her estimation. I cannot recommend this restaurant anymore. We have been there over the last few years, probably 20 times. The new menu leaves a lot to be desired. This will definitely be our last time going to this place. I wish there was a lower rating then just one star. read more

This place is so versalite. Great place for adults only ( girls night out, date night..etc ) or family outing or celebration. Price is decent. Outdoor and indoor seating available. You can make reservations. If you're celebrating an occasion, let them know in advance and they will customize print your menu with like "Happy Birthday XXX" or " Happy Anniversary XXX ".... We brought our own birthday cake but due to covid, they made us put the cake on an empty table next to us and we had to cut it ourselves. They will provide supplies but will not touch the cake. There's a lot of food pics posted already but I'll post my Risotto I ordered, it's good but lacking a little flavour. Always a nice experience at this place for whatever your reason to eat out for. read more

My husband and I had dinner here last night after not eating here for a few years due to Covid. From the host who seated us to our servers, everything was lovely. A special shout out to David who was extra helpful and attentive throughout the entire meal. The shrimp appetizer was to die for! The shrimp was seasoned extremely well, the sauce was so rich, and the cornbread in the middle was delectable. My husband had the spaghetti and meatballs, and I had the Chitara pasta. Everything came out piping hot and was delicious. We ended the night with their bread pudding, which was luxurious and not too sweet. Highly recommend ordering an espresso martini to end your meal. We will be back! read more

Group of us come here for work lunch. The bread is impressively good. It's crispy outside and soft side, and the dipping sauce is amazing. We ordered a bunch of appetizers, and they are pretty good. For main dish, I ordered the small size of Rigatoni Bolognese and it's good but not that amazing. I had a taste of coworker's shrimp pasta, and I think that one is much better. read more

I have been a regular at Piatti, Danville and have always ordered Linguini and clams. Sadly since their reopening it is no longer on the menu. As soon as they bring it back on the menu I will start going there again. Dave, danville read more

We were at Piatti's for Happy Hour and the food and especially the service was 5STAR!! I am vegan and they had no problem making changes to the food I ordered. Their warm olive plate was beyond outstanding. Thank you to Piatti's and our waiter. read more

Had a lovely Father's Day lunch. We always love coming here. Great food and great service keep us coming back.

The dude and I came here to celebrate my birthday on 11/28/20. My actual birthday is on 11/24. Anywho, it was my first time going to Danville. I really didn't see much as it was dark. Anywho, we arrived and the grounds was beautiful! They had lights out and a nice patio. We followed the Princess path to the door and was greeted by the hostess who seated us immediately! As we were walking a lot of people seated said Happy Birthday to me as I was decked out in my bday outfit. We choose our seating option which was a perfect selection! Our server came out and gave us water and the menu had my name on it as pictured which made me feel very special! I seriously loved it! I was in the mood for pasta and I wasn't feeling the options on the menu and we already had a Margarita pizza earlier that day a Shadowbrook Winery and I wanted something different. I told our hostess what I was in the mood for and she instantly recommended they could make me an off the menu item which was the Chicken Alfredo. I was like yesss let's do it!!! Oh I totally forgot to mention that the bread and oil was so DELICIOUS very yummy! It was so addicting. The dude and I killed the oil. The bread and oil is not complimentary which is alright as it was only $3 per serving and worth it! It was delicious. I ended up getting the Italian Margarita which is always my go to at most Italian restaurants if they have it. The bread and drinks came out QUICK. Like under 10 minutes being seated which was impressive! My drink was delicious and flavorful. I highly recommend! Our food came out QUICK too! Possible 10 minutes after we got our drinks! The dude said his steak with the green sauce and scallop potatoes was delicious. Since I don't eat beef I can't tell you personally. He said the green sauce made it stand out and unique! My Chicken Alfredo was probably the best Chicken Alfredo I had at a restaurant! The creamy sauce was so addictive and delicious omg it was so good! The chicken was so delicious and packed sooooo much flavor! Like Why isn't this dish on the menu!!! It totally should be. My taste buds danced with happiness! Towards the end of the dinner one of the guests here sung me happy birthday and she had a pretty amazing voice for sure! It definitely made my 28th bday celebration special of all these acts of kindness! Our hostess then brought out a surprise dessert of Tiramisu which was delicious and free of charge too! It was good. Overall, this place in Danville out did themselves and I would love to come back to celebrate or just cause as it was such a lively and lovely experience. I highly recommend! read more

Enjoyed the Italian pasta bolognese. Tiramisu hit the Italian comfort spot. Service was great. Loved the outside patio.

Was looking around for pasta places in Danville and came across Piatti. Went last week with my family, we started off with the bread and oil which was delicious, we then ordered the margharita pizza as an appetizer, which was really good as well. Last but not least I ordered the chitarra, and it was delicious! My son ordered the lasagna and he also loved it! Service was good too, we will definitely be back! read more

Piatti Danville - Chitarra Pasta with sauteed prawns - Italian Near Me - Danville, California

First and last time dining at this place! The service was great , the dish I ordered not so much , the polenta chicken masala with mushrooms sautéed in wine , tasted as if it had been a few day's old , and microwaved . Lumpy polenta that was cold Very few mushrooms that had an odd wine flavor and the chicken was unbearable. A manager inquired about our meals, I had too be honest , and let him know this particular dish was sub par . They did not charge me .... Their were quite a few people in the area where we dined , it felt rather cramped, and it has several eating sections that could have been better utilized for seating .Never Again ..... Ethel Kubota. Ps. The two friends I dined with are White , I am of mixed heritage , their food was satisfying. Was this discrimination ? it felt like it . read more

Disappointed with the food for Mother's Day brunch. I've never had a chicken piccata as salty as the one I had today, I could barely eat it. The eggs Benedict was dry, over cooked and couldn't even cut through the English muffin. The chicken in the panini had zero flavor. The apple in the berry cobbler had huge chunks and it was very runny. We had many things forgotten and had to give up on asking for them. I used to be a huge fan of Piatti's, but I don't think we will be going back. If you're in the mood for something like Piatti's but better, try Bella Siena in Benicia. read more

We are locals hoping with new menu we would have good evening meal. The biggest disappointment was the food quality. I ordered eggplant parmesan. I was surprised to get fried patties, the ones my daughter buys at trader Joe's down the street and throws in the microwave . The mushroom pizza was drenched in oil and fried onions, couldn't taste the mushrooms and would fall apart as I picked it up to eat . I think they nedd to up there game,even though it looked busy, not a fan. read more

We recently went to Piatti for an offsite dinner and I can't believe I have never been! The vibe is so cozy and holiday decor was beautiful. The restaurant was packed for a weekday evening. It's definitely one of the best Italian restaurants in the neighborhood. We had a fixed 3 course menu with options like Caesar salad, pastas, chicken piccata, tiramisu, etc. I went with the Caesar salad, chicken piccata and tiramisu. Everything was absolutely delicious! The tiramisu was definitely the star of the show - so good!! read more

Nothing special here we came in for dinner had to sit outside without a reservation but they have heaters. We had the Margherita pizza, the calamari, The lasagna and the chittara. All were ok at best the lasagna came with a weird tasting toast not sure if they burnt it or not but the flavor was off. The lasagna was cold on the inside and tasteless as it was mostly all cheese and not the good melted kind. Sauce was ok.. best thing was the pizza. Definitely wouldn't drive more than 5 mins to this place as it's not worth it. read more

Delicious food And our service on 9/16/23 at 12:15pm was fantastic! The appetizers, salads, and entrees are all fantastic. The prices are a bit high but that's life in the East Bay! LOVE the polenta appetizer and they currently had the Petrole Sole on special! Not to be missed! read more

This is the first time I've been here. The food, service and ambience was good and it has a reasonable price point. We were seated quickly and attended to immediately. I had a great red blend wine which was recommended by our waitress. We started with the insalata mista which was nicely dressed then I had the chitarra pasta which I found a tad under seasoned but had big tasty prawns. My husband's Niman ranch pork chop was really moist and flavorful but the sautéed chard did it for me! Super good. I finished off with a tiramisu which was a healthy portion though not the best I've had. We met friends there which we hadn't seen for a really long time so I really appreciated that we weren't pressured to leave as we sat for an extended period of time catching up. I would consider coming back and trying some of the other dishes. read more

They must have sold the restaurant. It is about a B now. The remodel...is okay, nothing spectacular. The chopped salad is not as good....there is salami in it. Service was only fair. I thought the waiter got up on the wrong side of the bed. Might try it again sometime. read more

Updated review after four years: Piatti continues to offer up upscale, quality Italian cuisine at very reasonable prices. We've sometimes Doordash from them during COVID19 Shelter-in-Place, and normally find there entrees still rock. Mary's Organic Half Chicken is a complete meal, with creamy and buttery mashed potatoes and crispy green beans. When I tried the chicken, it was moist and juicy although recently the wife found her chicken on the dry side. Its one of the risks with Doordash as roasted meats can dry out during the journey. The herb-crusted flat iron steak is an excellent entree - order it medium rate and by the time it arrives to your house it'll still have some pink color and juiciness. I liked the sides of squash and roast potatoes. The sauce adds a nice, peppery kick. Their takeout menu also offers a spicy prawn linguine, which is a good dish, but nowhere near as good as their signature Spicy Prawn Chittara from the pre-COVID19 dine-in menu. The pasta does make a difference here, but you still get good flavors and big, tender prawns with the Linguine version. read more

I used to come here with my family friends all the time. Because of this, I have high expectations for it. The food quality was great, as usual. The carpaccio could have used a tiny bit more lemon but was otherwise super satisfying. The portion sizes for the pastas were very filling and I was even able to take some home for lunch the next day. The part where I was slightly let down was the service. It felt very impersonal and rushed, even though it wasn't too busy of a night. This place will always be a cherished favorite, and I hope the next time I visit, it'll be just as amazing as I remember it. read more

Service was disappointing. Food came out for some then later15 mins food for others. 4% sur charge on bill is a hidden price increase. Dishonest. Menu had to be reprinted to disclose (somewhere on the menu; I never saw it) the EXTRA PRICE INCREASE that no one in our party of 11 saw! If you're going to raise prices change the price on the menu. Could the surcharge be increase to 25/30٪ next? Sneaky on the price maybe Sneaky on the food prep. Used to be our "go to place". No more. Dishonest read more
