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

This is by far the most consistent restaurant in the East Bay. Always bustling with people, amazing food, and such a great wait staff. We had the privilege of having Patricia T as our server and she was a ray of sunshine after a long hard day at work! Absolutely cheered me up coupled with the amazing food and ambiance! She's a keeper Piatti's!!! Thank you for such a wonderful experience, Patricia!!!! 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

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

They said they renovated the space, come on, really?? menu the same and the food is the same but more costly. The bread and dip are the best as well as the wait staff!!! The food or menu needs a complete over haul as locals are getting pretty tired of the same old thing! Grad a clue guys and NP; its all down hill from here..... 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

We decided to go to this cute place for a date, and we were pleasantly surprised by the taste and quality. The assorted fried foods had a very light batter, and the squid was extremely tender - which tells me that's its very fresh. For the pasta, the noodles were very well cooked al denté, and my favorite thing was the beef Sugo. It was exploding with flavor compared to the bolognese, which tasted pretty average. Get the beef sugo! read more

I made a last minute reservation, but got my day mixed up. I actually used the Open Table and booked the wrong day. The reservation was early enough before the Dinner rush, and they were able to accommodate a party of 5 people. The lady at the Hostess was very understanding and was able to get us a booth. The food was good and I started off with a Negroni. I had ordered a Rigatoni with Meat marinara and pork. I had also ordered a side Caesaer salad without Anchovies. The Server was very helpful and friendly and he was able to handle our special request. One of the people in our party had to leave early but everything worked out in the end. The only thing was that perplexed me was that you had to ask for bread instead of them putting the bread (ciabatta) on the table. There was a minimal charge for the bread but it was really good. Definitely will go again for the ambiance and the food. Will look forward to try the Blueberry Cobbler crisp dessert that the Server had suggested for next time. read more

Piatti Danville - Rigatoni pasta with Bolognese and pork - Italian Near Me - Danville, California

My review is for a party we held over the weekend. Working with their Event Planner Tami Morgan, we had an extraordinary event! She helped us arrange wine, beer and an amazing array of appetizers. We had the Tuscan Room reserved and it was perfect. Eddy was our waiter all night and he was outstanding. As the Host, I received many compliments about his service. He anticipated all of our needs plus he was friendly and professional. I can't recommend Piatti enough for their food and ambiance. Add to that, they're incredible for any of your event needs. Huge thanks and appreciation to everyone involved!! 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

Been going to Piatti's for years, last night with a large B-Day party. Couldn't be more pleased with over the top service, the overall treatment from each and every person - bartender to the hostess, manager, and our waitress. Everyone looked, dressed and presented themselves professionally, waiting to attend to our needs, with a smile. Hard to get good service these days but they got it right, Thank you to the manger with the nice attire for helping us get settled and making sure we were comfortable all night. After a long day of work, it's nice to enter a place that feels like home. Thank you and please keep up the great job. 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

We have always enjoyed Piatti's for many years. It was our go-to restaurant for special events. But yesterday, my husband and I went there for an early Valentine's Day lunch. Both of us were disappointed in the flavor of our entrees: fresh clams and pasta for me and salmon for my husband. Both lacked taste. My pasta was mushy, and kept reaching for the salt. We will probably go back there-- maybe it was an off day-- but we'll be a little more guarded next time. read more

Came to the restaurant after an elopement. Robert helped me set up the reservation, and he was very kind. He set us up inside as it is the first 90+ degree day of the year. Thank you Robert! Our server was Jerry, and he was very helpful. He was sociable , informative, and attentive. The food was good, I purchased the Chicken Piccata, and my Husband purchased the Prawn Chitarra. We genuinely enjoyed our experience. The ambiance is amazing, we showed up when it was quiet but even if we had not there is more than enough seating. I'm glad we ate here because it added to our entire day. read more

Its ok! The few times we have been in the last few weeks the food has been fine. Nothing to write home about but worth coming back if better restaurants in the area are booked. read more

Piatti Danville - Pugliese bread - Italian Near Me - Danville, California

I've come here a few times and I always have to give it up to their service, because it's always great. The atmosphere is nice for a date, celebration, etc., and the bar is pretty nice too. The shrimp pasta and calamari were good, but I wouldn't say fantastic, just because I felt it could've been more flavorful for a "spicy" pasta. Calamari was average. I'll put it this way, Danville has a lot of nice restaurants with great aesthetics and groovy vibes, but the food (this cuisine in particular) is just... lacking. Id say this place would be higher on my list of this town's best restaurants. read more

Celebrated our granddaughter's 18th birthday here last night. There were four of us and they squeezed us in last minute, cuz the kids kept moving the night they wanted to do this. So, we were lucky to even get in. We were also lucky enough to get Patricia as our waitress. She was a hoot and a half and made the evening even more enjoyable. We started with two appetizers, the Beef Carpaccio (my personal favorite) and the Roasted Brussel Sprouts. They were both great. Oh and don't even get me started on the famous bread dip they offer! It is to die for! The men ordered the pork chop, which was HUGE! They both said it was great. The birthday girl ordered the steak which equally wowed her. Lastly, I ordered their Pasta Capellini with Shrimp. While I did like it, I have been spoiled by another restaurant's version of this that I order every single time we go there. While this pasta was fairly good, put it this way, I wouldn't order it again. They used a heavier pasta more like just plain spaghetti noodles, not Angel Hair like I like it. It was extremely loud in the restaurant, but it didn't annoy us, it was just hard to hear people talking. We were also very near the open kitchen which added to the noise. I must give props to Patricia, she really added to our experience there. Piatti's is always on our restaurant rotation and it had been a while since going there, so all in all it did not disappoint as usual. read more

One of the best restaurants in Danville! You can't go wrong with Piattis! Their bread and garlic dipping sauce is amazing! I usually get the chicken piccata or Mary's chicken and I'm never disappointed! Service is always great. Great ambience too! Will always come back here! read more

I go frequently to Piattis and the food is consistently excellent-- every dish is good and the bread and dipping sauce is super good

Amazing food , the bartender was amazing.,Hostess was amazing ,a little bit of a mix up at dinner because we did have to flag down a waiter, but I'll be honest the management there is on point they took care of us. They compensated us for the mishap. I will definitely go back. I'm sure the next time will be much better. I wouldn't discount them based on my experience, as this was not a giant issue read more

My wife and I absolutely love coming to Piatti in Danville. Every visit is a great experience, but our most recent one really stood out. From the moment we walked in, the staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome--especially with my wife's small service dog. They made sure we were seated comfortably in a booth, and you could really tell they cared about making us feel at home. The manager, our waitress, and every staff member we interacted with were incredibly kind, attentive, and just genuinely good people. It's rare to feel that level of care and hospitality these days, and it meant a lot to us. We also love the refreshed look of the restaurant--it feels warm and inviting, perfect for a date night or a casual evening out. And of course, the bread they serve is still amazing. It's become one of our favorite little things to look forward to. If you haven't been to Piatti in a while, or if you've never been, do yourself a favor and stop by. Great food, great people, and a welcoming atmosphere that keeps you coming back. read more

First timer to Piatti. We took my Grandma here for a lunch outside on their patio and it was lovely. We ordered the deviled eggs, shrimp pasta, chicken panini, pulled pork sandwich, Margherita pizza and a combination pizza. I like how you can pick between two sizes for the pasta, a lunch portion and a dinner portion. The pasta lunch portion my brother ordered was generous. We all shared the chocolate chip cookie with vanilla gelato for dessert. The service was excellent. Our waitress Jill was great and I think the manager came by to check in. I also like the area in the plaza, lots of trees and it's beautiful on a nice summer day. Parking is also easy and plentiful even during lunchtime on a Saturday. 5 stars for Piatti and I would come back again! read more

We ended up at Piatti because we were going to try a different Italian restaurant on Saturday - needless to say we walked in and walked right out of that place and into Piatti. When we walked in, my wife immediately noticed that they remodelled the place. This was later confirmed by the manager that they just reopened after a 3 month shutdown/remodel. We came for lunch and was immediately sat down. We were told who our server would be and after 5 minutes of waiting he finally showed up to greet us and give us water. I ordered a drink and my wife asked for ice and he was off. It took another 5 minutes for the ice to be given to us and another 2 minutes for my drink to come. This would be a pattern for the time we were dining - the server would come by and we would ask for something (sometimes twice) and it would be a while before we would get it. To top it off - we were sat near two individuals (male) who were loud, obnoxious, and visibly intoxicated. One individual was louder than the other and that one would do facetime calls from his phone and talk really loud. It was obvious that they were disturbing the other patetrons in the restaurant because the manager finally came up to them to confront them. But this was after at least 45 minutes since we had been in the restaurant and who knows how long that they had been in the restaurant before we got there. After some hub-bub - those two individuals finally left - but not after some "threats" of Yelping and telling people about this on social media - the louder one even pretended to video tape the crowd. After they left the manager came to our table to apologize for the loud guests. He offered us free desserts and coffee to compensate for them. We appreciated that he tried to make it right. Note: the pasta dishes we had were very good, as well as the desserts and coffee read more

After being a patron for such a long time, I will never return. The host was completely rude offering us seating but we had to be out within an hour for one option and 45 minutes for the other. Never even greeted us. Will gladly take my money elsewhere. Find some real help or lose more customers. By the way, the restaurant was close to empty. read more

07.09.2023 - Dinner w/ BNU. Perfect spot to get together with a group of friends. Service was really attentive and food was good. Didn't get a chance to soak in the ambience as I was immersed in the company that I was with. But from the outside, it looked very inviting and warm. Surrounded by trees and greens, walking to the front door felt like I was walking into an enchanted forest with delicious Italian aromas. Seated by the window at a large round table to fit a group of 8+1. Perfect! The menu offered a wide range of appetizers, salads, pizzas and pasta. Crispy calamari ordered to share. Portions are huge! Ended up ordering 2 of the bruschetta. Plenty for everyone to have a piece. A toast with all the fixings on top. Tomato, garlic, burrata, basil, balsamic vinaigrette - each bite tasted fresh, sweet, tangy and creamy. A fantastic appetizer. Some ordered lasagna, some Rigatoni, few got the pizza. Can't vouch for the taste, but it sure looked appetizing to the eyes. I got the PEI mussels with a side of fries. Every time I get mussels, the first thing I try is the broth. Such a hearty, tomato brother with a hint of spice for me going goo-goo-ga-ga for it. Mussels were on the more petite side, but don't let those tiny little mussels fool you. It came with a punch of flavor. The side of fries were slightly a disappointment. Parmesan cheese shavings sprinkled on top. Not sure what brand they used, but it had a very strong smell that threw me off. But the parts that didn't have cheese, were crunchy to have with my bowl of mussels. Lolla Rossa salad was also my favorite! Perfectly dressed, the mixed greens were fresh, the strawberries were sweet and the almonds added a beautiful texture to every bite. Definitely a must-order salad! Sadly, we didn't have time to try any of their desserts. That's ok because I'll just have to come back. Would love to try some of the other items on their menu. read more

I usually go here for work lunches. Love the ambience and the open layout of the restaurant. All their food is prepared fresh and tastes great and authentic Italian cuisine. Today our server outdid himself. He overhead our boss wishing us Happy birthday and once we were done with our food and about to leave he brought out two desserts with birthday candles!! I found out his name is Armando and he was super attentive needless to say. Walked away with such a good feeling of being a valued customer. read more

We had a lovely evening at Piatti last night. Our table was ready as soon as we arrived, and the timing of the dinner was just right--not too rushed, but not too slow either. My dining companions thoroughly enjoyed the pizza, soup, and salad. One friend even joked that the salad dressing was so good she could lick the bowl! I opted for the pasta bolognese, which was absolutely delightful. I was pleased to learn that the pasta is made fresh in-house. The restaurant was recently remodeled and I feel it's much nicer now with comfortable chairs. We will be back! read more

After being seated on time, sat for a while (had reservations) with no water/drinks or service. Not ideal but after that everything went well. Customer service was good and ambiance was nice. Drinks not cheap but good and my arugula salad was excellent. My raviolis (which I have ordered for decades no lie) were just okay this time. Very, very rich and only slight lemon taste. The lemon flavor was what has always called my name. I would definitely try something different next time. Husband had lasagna and liked it. All in all a good time and prices were reasonable for the area, just nothing really special like I remember it being in the past. read more

Whoa!! What a place! We were lucky to have Gerry as our waitstaff. Did HE know the menu! He was attentive, affable and helpful. The warm bread arrived and that started our meal. We had the spinach salad with marinated chicken. I followed with Cream of Broccoli soup and hubby had the petrole sole. AMPLE portions! Gerry kept our water glasses full and was on point to answer any questions and give suggestions. He knew what each menu item had and what would go with what! The venue was superb. Next time we will sit on the beautiful outside terraces. You have a GREAT team, Reza! read more

We decided to come here for an impromptu dinner on a Thursday night. The place was packed! We had called on the way there and found out no reservations were available but we could try the bar area. Right when we got there we found a high top in the bar area and were seated right away. We started with the bread and dip. The dip was one of my favorite things of the meal. Super flavorful and the balsamic vinegar shone through. We then ordered some bruschetta which I thought was alright. Then the LEMON RAVIOLI! Slightly overpriced but the absolute star of the meal. So so good. For dessert we finished off with the tiramisu and mocha. The tiramisu was a great portion and the sweetness we needed. Also, I loved the presentation of the mocha and the individual layers. Overall, the hype is worth it!! I would definitely be back to try a few other dishes (along with the lemon ravioli)! read more

I think this was the best chicken piccata I have ever had!!! The chicken breast was huge, the green beans were fresh and not over cooked, the potatoes were crisp on the outside and soft on the inside and the sauce was perfecto!! I enjoyed the company and the atmosphere was pleasing. However, we had to wait for too long to order, the server when she got there told us she was very very busy and she would be right with us. Well, she was not right with us, it took a long time just to get water, bread, our order taken and finally our food. We felt practically invisible on this dining experience. At the end of our meal when we were ready to pay we had to chase down the same server for our bill and a box for my leftovers. I've been to Piatti many many times and this by far was the worst service we have received. I know this may have been out of the ordinary in the quality of service received, so we shall see the next time what happens with the level of service that is provided. I understand staffing is sparse everywhere since the pandemic. But good service still needs to be provided if staff expects gratuity. Just because you show up to work doesn't mean you deserve a large tip. Something to think about. read more

I picked Piatti for my birthday dinner (my 21st repeat bday dinner-lol). Let me tell you they never disappoint. We arrived and were greeted with a friendly "hello" and a quick trip to our table. The place was packed but they were on point with everything. Our server, Erin, was amazing, knowledgeable and hospitable. She answered our questions, made suggestions and had a patient and confident attitude. We shared a bottle of rose, several appetizers and were so full that we only ordered two entrees even though there were four of us--and couldn't complete the meal! We had delicious deserts and an espresso martini (which was more like birthday cake to me). I loved everything and would return again and again and also recommend to my friends. read more
