Overrated. Crowded parking lot, long waits, but decent Italian food. The server was nice. But getting food from the kitchen was extremely slow. After waiting an hour to get seated, this was a grueling ordeal. The bread on the table vanished quickly and it took a while to get a refill. Our party would have been better served elsewhere. We expected better for the prices they charge here. When we finally got our food, everyone thought it was OK, but maybe we were just famished. We all started digging in and didn't even wait for pictures. I was thinking of 3 stars, but the food was satisfactory. read more

Piatti never seems to fail! You're greeted with a smile when you walk in. Their food is always delicious, especially their desserts! This restaurant can get busy depending on the day/time you come, but worth the wait. Otherwise, recommended to make a reservation. read more

Wow! This place is fantastic. Dinner service at the bar was attentive and the food is delicious. It's worth getting the bread here (sourdough), folks! We came in shortly before happy hour ended and had the margarita pizza, fritto misto, and the chopped salad. Everything was tasty! As someone who can't have shellfish, I really appreciated the fritto misto didn't add shrimp or prawns like some places do! We didn't have drinks this time but another patron's lemon drop looked fabulous and the bartenders were clearly putting an extra touch of thoughtfulness in the craft cocktails. Well done, thank you! read more

Great ambience, great food , and exceptional customer service especially the manager Robert ! As a Danville resident for 38 years this is the place we always go to ! I highly recommend this place! read more

Came here yesterday for the first time since my husband and I were looking for an Italian place that opened before noon. We got seated quickly since we were still within the initial 30 min of opening. Once we got seated, the server was really attentive, allowing time when needed but also not waiting too long before taking our orders. I ended up getting their arancia ginger soda, a cup of their minestrone soup, the Manila clams linguini, and their roasted broccolini. My husband got their polpette sandwich and the butternut squash soup. The ginger soda was interesting as you can definitely taste the component. The slice of ginger placed in it was interesting though ultimately I didn't do anything with it. It's a bit unnecessary in my opinion. The minestrone soup was pretty good, but I wish the fresh basil wasn't on top since it would occasionally overwhelm the soup's natural taste. Otherwise the base itself was spot on delicious. The Manila clam linguini was okay honestly. Nothing really worth writing home about except for the fact the linguini was cut in a special way as opposed to the generic factory cut version of the pasta. The clams were a bit small so I do wish they were bigger. Oddly enough, I enjoyed the broccolini more as that was flavorful and cooked perfectly. It's a really good side. So would I come back? Maybe? But given the price, I kind of expect things a bit better? read more

We recently visited to celebrate my birthday with my in-laws! We did not have a reservation, on a busy night, but the hostess was able to get us accommodated and seated as quickly as possible. The ambiance was nice and pleasant. Our food was delicious and satisfying. read more

What makes a restaurant truly special isn't just the food or the atmosphere it's the people. My wife and I had dinner at Piatti in Danville tonight for the first time (we usually go to the Mill Valley location), and we were blown away. Robert, the GM, made the entire experience extra special. He came by our table several times, not just to check in, but to genuinely connect and make sure we were enjoying ourselves. His personal touch, leadership, and attention to detail set the tone for the whole staff and it shows. Piatti is lucky to have him on board. We'll definitely be back. Thanks again for the great evening read more

To Denise P! Dining experience was Less than acceptable. When the appetizers are better than the entrees , that's a problem. For what they charge , you'd think it would be a nice thick pork chop with a good sized bone in . Not nearly, plus had to return, was overdone. The chicken piccata also was not good, sauce had the consistency of water! Obviously, not a competent chef in the kitchen. Poor value and , unfortunately, no reason to come back! Way too pricey for what they're serving. Hope this gets to the general mgr or owner!! read more

A decent Italian restaurant! I love the bread and dip, so tasty. They are accommodating to kids which I appreciate and they can do pasta with butter so that's always a win for us. They can also be pretty flexible with last minute reservations which I appreciate. The restaurant can get pretty busy and crowded. We also like the lasagna! read more

A group of us came for Aperitivo Hour/Happy Hour. The Negroni and fritto misto/meatballs were awesome. And our server Miguel is amazing!! Really made us feel welcome and checked on us regularly despite it being a busy grad night. We will definitely be back soon! read more

Service-10/10 extremely accommodating. They were able to seat us outside because the inside was a bit loud during dinner for our baby. My husband ordered a pizza but they brought him lasagna but they immediately corrected it and apologized for the mistake. Super kid friendly restaurant. They have a kids menu, crayons and paper to keep the little ones occupied. Food 10/10: my lemon ravioli was very refreshing and not has heavy as I thought it would be since it was a cream base Pizza- can't complain, great crust great topping s Bruschetta- the bread & tomatoes tasted very fresh. It was a light and refreshing app. Dessert: must get the tiramisu! Light fluffy and delicious. read more

I hate to do this because Piatti in Carmel was one of our absolute standout favorite restaurants every time we would visit. This just...missed the mark a bit. It wasn't the service as they were all so kind. The food simply didn't hit the remarkable notes that the old Piatti used to hit. Maybe I'm aging out, but something was off and tasted less authentic. We will be back again because usually it's spot on. read more

This is the first time I've been there since they remodeled. They sat us in an extra room by the bar that was nice because it was so much quieter. The rest of the restaurant is really loud. Dinner here was just so so. I've had good dinners at this place before but not so much today. I had the Bolognese and it was just dull. The spinach salad was wonderful. My daughter's dinner was something with pesto and lemon ricotta, but I can't remember the name. She said it was just OK until we added lemon to it. The waitress was wonderful and attentive. The bread and dip are very good. I don't know how often I will go there. read more

Piatti is opened again! Made a last minute reso within the same hour for lunch. 1st time here since the remodeled. The interior was nicely done with the olive green velvet booths and dimmed lights in the back. The restrooms definitely had a makeover. Wow. Onto the food. Still delicious as ever. Had the rigatoni with their signature bolog sauce. Pasta Al dente. Tiramisu was perfect! Nicely soaked overnight, with creamy mascapone filling, dusted cocoa powder. Beer was chilled and refreshing on a hot day. Cucumber Cooler, and all time favorite was thirst quenching. So glad they are back read more

The food isn't bad, in fact it is quite decent, but unfortunately I was expecting more from all the stellar reviews. I did enjoy the bruschetta, the combination of the fresh tomatoes, soft mozzarella, and saba made for a great combination of flavors. The Lasagna was good too, but not anything special. Service was OK, our server was nice, but disappeared for long periods of time, granted it did look like they had a pretty full/busy Saturday evening crowd. The outdoor patio seating was great, I can imagine it would make for a very romantic date night setting on a warm spring or summer evening. If you are local to the area I think it is worth trying, but I would not come all this way just to try this restaurant. read more

Went to Piatti for a business dinner and was pleasantly surprised..! The food was very good, as was the service.

In contrast, my recent dining experience at Piatti was disappointing. While I have enjoyed the restaurant in the past, this time out-of-town guests were not treated with the same level of hospitality. The service was notably slow, with no water being served and an excessively long wait for our server to arrive at our table to take our orders. The service from the bar was equally sluggish. We ordered appetizers and drinks, but the empty plates were left on the table for an extended period. Our server took our dinner order even though the empty plates were still present. The dinner orders arrived, but no one ever came to the table to remove the empty plates. The server attempted to place the dinner orders around the empty plates, which was the first time I had to request that the empty dishes be removed from the table. Furthermore, the food quality was significantly inferior to what I had experienced in the past. The pasta was thick and "gooey. Overall, very disappointing. read more

The food at Piatti has never been better. The risotto, fried Brussels sprouts and even the Parmesan fries have been outstanding lately. But dinner last night was a frustrating experience. As a local I know a few people so it's fun to dine at the bar with other regulars. My friends chicken Picatta looked so delicious I decided to order it for myself. Pete was on his break so a few of us tried to get food and drink from Stephanie but she wouldn't look at anyone and told us she was busy when we tried to get her attention. I finally got my dinner and when a friend asked Stephanie why she hadn't seen her smile at all she told us she was hungover from the night before. Who has a job serving food and drinks when they refuse to make eye contact with anyone and scowls at people sitting at the bar? It's a far cry from the warm and cheerful nature that Norberto and Pete always have. Next time I'll sit at a table because it's no fun to be hungry and thirsty at a restaurant. read more

One of my favorites Italian restaurants in Danville. Everything is really good. The pizza is thin crust and they serve up a few different types - my fav is the mushroom pizza. The Italian spaghetti and meatballs is a favorites be sure to order some bread and their oil and garlic dipping sauce. Delicious and garlicky! They are one of the few Italian restaurants that will make you angel hair with a delicious marinara sauce. read more

I am a frequent at Piatti's. Love their food, the vibe, and usually their service. However, their service fell short on a really important celebratory holiday. I just got done dining there with my dad for Father's Day and I live in Napa so he wanted to eat some place special. The special was a halibut and it was pretty bland and disappointing. The bread and garlic dip is always great and Caesar salad is always tasty. The service for the first time was not satisfactory. I understand the busy pace of accommodating holiday needs, and large parties especially. It was disappointing only because I only see my dad every so often and it was only 2 of us where we ordered our food right away. Again, Piatti's is a wonderful place to dine; it was a bummer that the server we had couldn't "manage" the tables she had. Pictured is the lemon ravioli which is my absolute favorite at Piatti's and a Mendocino county Pinot noir. read more

Piatti Danville - Lemon Ravioli - Italian Near Me - Danville, California

I've come here for years and have preferred forbes mill and the newer Donho for a change. In last 2x months I visited and the food and service has taken a nose dive from what it used to be. The front patio service has been horrible not because the staff is bad but because the owner is terribly understaffed to save money. The food is getting just as bad. I have had lunch salads2 times and on both occasions the lettuce was broken and dry or slimy but burried in dressing so it was not noticeable and just recently it left a bad taste in my mouth for a few hours after I ate. The grilled shrimp on my salad had previously been frozen and overcooked as well because it took a steak knife to cut the rubbery meat. I was very dissapointed and so I complained to the owner and he said for better service always request the back patio because they have more service. Even when He saw me paying my check he never considered a comp for the salad though I was very clear about my experience for food and service. To this gentleman just know that Money is the most important factor over food and service. and we felt the other ingredients were from package and not fresh like canned crispy onions from Costco or bagged lettuce. I will never return ever again. It has become an overrated Fridays. I am hoping some of the good staff will move to other high quality restaurants in the plaza so we can continue to see them. read more

This was my first time trying this place out. My man brought me for my birthday since he knows I love Italian food. When we got there, the parking lot was packed, but there's a steak house right next door, so I'm sure both spots get really packed. When you walk in it had a nice vibe to it. All the lights and decor just made it that enjoyable. The place was pretty packed, but he made reservations, so we didn't have to wait. We started with the bread and white vinegar sauce I can't remember the name of it but oh my gosh. The bread was so warm and fresh, and the sauce was delicious. I had to order more bread lol I loved it. We ordered the bruschetta, squash Ravioli and linguine. I must say everything was full of so much flavor it was amazing. It hit the spot and they serve just the right amount. Birthday's you get a free tiramisu dessert, we had to also order the bread pudding lol. Clearly I love bread. But again the bread pudding did not disappoint just like everything else. I can't wait to try this place again. read more

Ten of us made a reservation for a holiday dinner. It took them a wee bit of time to set the table up and get us seated. Food was good to great. Not a single person complained! Great wine list and excellent cocktails. Service was excellent from Zach and the two hard working bus-men! The restroom renovation is good but the height of the solo urinal left me wondering, why?! Consistently good! read more

I've been coming to this location since day 1. I have always loved the food and staff. Since the recent remodel, the management has decided that white wines offered by the glass must be obscure wines. $16-20 per glass. There isn't a single California Chardonnay offered by the glass. Frank Family, Sonoma Cutrer, Wente, Le Crema. As a person, who comes in after work, who doesn't want to buy a full bottle, this is ridiculous. Which has led to this review and my choosing other establishments. I wrote to Piatti directly a month ago. No response. read more

Piatti Danville - Piatti Danville bar - Italian Near Me - Danville, California

First visit since the remodel. Menu is mostly unchanged which is kind of a shame as it could use a refresh. 4* for the Brushchetta and 5* for the beef carpaccio. 3* for the spaghetti and meatballs - the pasta was too al dente (and not noted as such) but meatballs were very good. 5* for Bread pudding which is the only dessert item worth having. Service was pathetically slow despite the place emptying out during our meal. Overall very enjoyable but would be nice to see managers checking on tables and empower staff to assist read more

One of my oldest best friend treated me to a birthday dinner here. We had early 4:00 dinner reservation to beat the crowd. I had the petra sole and my friend the lasagna. The petra sole was delicious over a heaping mound of mashed potatoes and spinach. You need to ask for bread which came warm with the oil and vinagrette to dip in which was also delicious. We also had the beet spring lettuce salad - with oranges, feta cheese and walnuts. We shared it as it was a heaping mound for two light eaters. Nice ambiance but restaurant can get chatty and a little noisy as it fills up. By 6:00pm the restaurant was almost full as was the parking lot when we left. i also noticed other tables celebrating birthdays. Note: Another 4% will be added to the tab for staff - it's also noted on the bottom of the menu. Service was great and attentive. Our table for 2 was by the fireplace which was nice and toasty. Grab a few mints on your way out on the side table near the front. Birthday dessert will be complimentary if you ask. (We had the tiramisu which was also shared.) read more

Give this please another try with our team lunch yesterday and disappointed with $35 take quality as it being extremely chewy and lacking of taste. On the other hand, the beet salad was really late and delicious. Pumpkin cheesecake was very much on the dry side. Bread pudding is something to try. The ambience is classy and neat. Quiet and relatively busy starting around 3 PM. Service was pleasant and sometimes even fun with others cracking the jokes. read more

11/4/2023 I've been to this restaurant previously and I wasn't a huge fan the first time I went. It could have been the food I ordered. My boyfriend and I went here yesterday after a birthday party and it was way better. We arrived at this restaurant without a reservation and we were told that we would have to wait an hour. We were seated in 20 minutes. We were seated in their back patio. The patio was beautiful and felt like we were transported to a different place in the world. We didn't order any appetizers. We went straight to entrees. My boyfriend ordered the Bolognese and I ordered the Linguine and clams. The serve was amazing! I would go here again! read more

It's been a while since our last visit. Another awesome experience from the time step in till leave. We were early to our reservation, the wait wasn't long though. Got seated properly. Interior was nicely decorated. Host was sweet and attentive. The kitchen messed up our appetizer. They took back and fixed it right away. Food was delicious and priced reasonable. We left with satisfaction and filled tummy. Parking could be a disaster during dinner time. read more

Food was mediocre at best. Worst part was service was terrible. Didn't pace anything- they gave us apps and salads together and while we were still eating these (ten min after being served them) they brought out our mains. I'd avoid. Much better places to service in Danville. Ambiance is nice though. read more

We hosted a private luncheon at Piatti following our daughter's baptism, and the experience exceeded every expectation. Tami, the events manager, was incredibly accommodating with our changes and followed up consistently so nothing slipped through the cracks. On the day of the event, Roberta delivered truly exceptional service--so attentive and warm that multiple guests reached out afterward to say she was the best server they've ever had. Coordinating a three-course meal for nearly 20 people is no easy feat, yet every course arrived promptly, everyone was served at the same time and the food was delicious! Highly recommend Piatti for private events. read more

Back for another great business dinner. I was pleased to see that their cheese ravioli with the most amazing lemon cream sauce is now a menu item rather than a special. It is truly a unique dish that stands out for this restaurant. I split the panna cotta with blueberry compote with a coworker, and it was delicious. The atmosphere is nice. However, the tables are very close together so if people don't scoot right up to the tables, you're going have to squeeze your way out to use the bathroom. And I'm a petite woman. read more

Had lunch at piatti's last Saturday. The service was ok. The staff was hard to understand and they did not pay much attention to detail and listening was a problem for them. We all had to repeat our order several times to the waiter, and he still got it wrong. Then we were delivered our appetizers. My carpaccio was ok, it was not served with thin slices of red onions and never offered fresh ground pepper, which I wanted. I should not have to request that. The calamari appetizer was ok. But the calamari was very chewy and salty. Then came our meals. Everyone's meal was good except mine. I asked for the New York steak very rare and heavily charred on the outside. It came to me pale and well done. I know how the chef prepared it. It was premarked and set aside for about seven to ten minutes, so it continues to cook slowly on the side of the grill. I wanted it very rare to rare. I guess the waiter either didn't request to the cook to have it very rare to rare, of the waiter didn't understand my request. Then my New York steak was very tough and gristly. The steak was from the first cut of the loin where the porterhouse is. The first three inches of that part of the loin should be used for a stew or stroganoff. And the fat cap was soggy and not crispy. The only thing that was good was the broccolini . The squash was ok, but it should have been peeled before cooking. I know you wanted to show the pretty colorful stripes on the squash, but come on! The creme brûlée was good, but the biscotti was chewy not crispy. They must have been refrigerated, or not baked long enough. I still left a nice gratuity. I hope someone reads this and responds back to me. I'm a retired catering chef restaurant owner and butcher for 40 years, all at the same time. So I know how to prepare cook and cut all kinds of meats and produce. read more
