Piatti is honestly a wonderful place for dinner, drinks, or to meet up with a friend. Each time I have been, I am impressed by the wonderful ambience, the water views, the kind and welcoming service, and the elevated but comfortable feel. How can you beat a glass of juicy Sangiovese with those beautiful views?! The food is very good- my favorites from my most recent visit were the polenta (I know, random, but it was amazing, ok?) and the Torta di Mandorle- a delicious almond and lemon cake! (I would recommend the almond cake over the chocolate cake- we tried both and we were not as impressed with the chocolate one!) Hoping to come back soon for happy hour! read more

I recently visited this restaurant and had a disappointing experience, mainly due to the management. The manager (name sounded like "An-Gloria," based on what I was told) came across as unprofessional and visibly overwhelmed. Instead of supporting her staff during a busy time, she was speaking to them in a harsh and dismissive way, which created an uncomfortable atmosphere for both employees and guests. It's never a good sign when staff look stressed and unsupported. On top of that, when I asked for a wine refill, her response felt rushed and came with unnecessary attitude. I understand that restaurants get busy, but how you handle pressure is what defines good management--and this wasn't it. The food and setting were fine, but the service experience, particularly from management, really took away from the visit. I hope this is addressed because it impacts both the staff environment and customer experience. read more

The food is good, and the views are gorgeous! They were accommodating to my vegan diet and allergies by modifying one of the salads, which I really appreciated. Everyone else in our group--who had chicken, fish, and steak--also said their meals were great. The ambiance is hard to beat, with large windows and lots of natural light--it made the whole experience feel so lovely. read more

Piatti has been in Mill Valley for a long time and delivers consistent Italian food. It's not especially memorable, but it is authentic and the portions are solid. The pizza is yummy--thin crust with just a little sauce--and the salads are reliably good. The location is convenient, right off the freeway in Mill Valley, which makes it an easy stop. That said, it does feel overpriced for what you get. You have to pay extra for bread, and there's a noticeable push for bottled water. They have an upstairs for private parties and each time I've gone to a party, it's been nice. Overall, dependable but not standout. read more

Such a cute restaurant with a lot of natural light! We had the pesto pappardelle which was amazing and perfectly flavored especially with the lemon zest. We also got the shrimp scampi, and the polenta paired with it is so delicious. read more

Stopped by Piatti with family for a quick lunch before heading to Sausalito for the afternoon. Very nice place and we were seated near the water which made it even better. For appetizers, we ordered the bread basket and the assortment was so fun. I ordered the pasta bolognese and it did not disappoint. A bit pricey for a casual lunch but would be fitting for a nice date or special occasion. read more

Enjoyed the location. 15 min for server to pop by our table. Appetizer never arrived, one entry pizza was completely wrong, but sine no came by to check it we let it go. No drink refills or check in for 90 min. Would have loved to order dessert, but had to eventually go and find someone to get the check. Poached Lobster was delicious! Poor Mother's Day experience, late afternoon! read more

Saturday night 2 servers for a busy night in restaurant Wow I hate to write a bad review especially since I've always liked this place but here it goes, I was surprised that Ernesto and Eduardo are not longer the managers of this place now they have a old lady with white hair harrasing the stuff I was sitting by the kitchen watching and listening, I watched her just giving instructions and talking to every single table not doing anything she even followed the server while he was, he had drinks in his tray she told him to bus tables but he was still calm and cheerful. I was so lucky to have him again; he was very cordial, attentive, and spot-on with everything. The food, as usual, was great. My family is from N.Y. Even said to offer him a job but he was so sweet and polite and declined..But I hope management sees this because I love this place and the delicious food they offer here... read more

Piatti - Cioppino mmm - Italian Near Me - Mill Valley, California

One of my favorite Italian restaurants is Piatti. I don't think I've ever been here without ordering their calamari and pizza -- those two are always a must! Everything else on the menu has been consistently delicious too; you really can't go wrong here. We recently tried their brunch, and it was outstanding. The steak and eggs were perfectly cooked and full of flavor, and the blueberry ricotta pancakes were light, fluffy, and absolutely amazing. Piatti continues to deliver great food, friendly service, and a comfortable atmosphere every time. It's one of those spots that never disappoints! read more

A friend brought me here for a quiet lunch and we had a really good catch up while looking at the serene bay. I had a salmon piccata, with salmon cooked just right, with broccolini and fennel underneath in tart lemon caper sauce. Service was friendly and attentive. read more

Nestled in the shadow of Mount Tamalpias, Piatti serves up some deeply satisfying Italian food in a setting that's modern with traditional design highlights. The staff are attentive, service is accurate, and attention is unobtrusive and friendly. This afternoon we ordered: Zeppole - Italian doughnuts, fennel sugar, lemon curd, blueberry Tasty, similar to begniets, with a subtle fennel dusting. Spicy Sicilian Hash - braised short ribs, potatoes, peppers, 12 mo Parmesan, Calabrian chili, poached egg Unexpectedly delightful flavor profile that's not too spicy and delivers the feeling of a hash but with a brasatto. Worthwhile! Fritto Misto - calamari, lemon, jalapeño, zucchini, olives, anchovy aïoli, marinara The lemons are a showstopper while the olives barely registered. Always a table staple for us. Piatti seems never too disappoint. read more

Walking in, it looked like a classy dress up place, but casual dress was the norm. Sat at a table in the bar next to the windows which had a lovely view of the marsh. Delicious food and cocktails. Service was a team effort with several staff checking in, taking orders, filling water glasses. read more

I have ate several times at Piatti's. The food is wonderful. I particularly like the spaghetti Pomodoro. My grandson is a fan of the linguine de mare. The bread is always hit. The service is fantastic. The staff is very attentive and friendly. And the ambiance is lovely. I love sitting at a table by the window. The view is beautiful. If you are looking for Italian food, I highly recommend this lovely restaurant. read more

We were first time visitors celebrating a special occasion and decided to sit out on the patio. Our waiter was not the best, once he sat us, he did not check on us at all. Once the food arrived, our pasta (from the kids menu) tasted very bland. We had to wave our waiter down to ask him for salt. Apparently our waiter said he would get it but never arrived so our son never ate his food. No water refills, no asking how the food was, Nothing! Finally we just told another server we were ready for the check. and moments later, our waiter came in and took our card. Not coming back- not to mention we drove an HOUR to come to this location for bad service and bland food. read more

I am giving today's experience 2 and I feel that is being generous. I have never been one who complains about a restaurant experience because I know how hard the job is. I am thankful for not having to cook and to be focused on those I am sharing a meal with. I have been to Piattis many times. We have celebrated birthdays, anniversaries and the like. Today was the worst experience I have had there. I would go as far to say the worst experience I have had at any restaurant. The waitstaff was not only overwhelmed but seemed to have no idea what they were doing. 30 min in and we hadn't even had waitstaff check on us. 45 min in and we finally got to order. I ordered the $17- pancakes for lunch and they arrived with cold syrup, even worse it was the fake stuff which ruined the dish. I had to ask for silverware and napkins for the table. $17- and I don't even get real maple syrup? What is happening here? Is there new management? Systems need a reboot along with some training. I will not be back any time soon. read more

The staff, food and atmosphere was absolutely wonderful! We could t be more grateful for how kind the staff was, from host to waitress, to bartender. We were a family of 4, who drove a few hours and wanted nice place Tia it and hav nice meal and this pace knocked it our of the ball park! read more

Piatti - Our kids loved this place! - Italian Near Me - Mill Valley, California

We stopped in after a long day at Muir National Monument. Our boys were sat at one take and then parents in two separate tables. Unfortunately our server seemed quite annoyed at the situation and after introducing herself, we then had to wait for long periods of time before she would come back and once our food was delivered, we never saw her again. We were not able to get refills, she never checked in to see how our food was, and when it came time to leave, we had to ask someone else for the check. It wasn't sure surprising then that our tickets had the incorrect items. The bartender and another server attempted to help us but weren't able to. And the food was not but not worth the price. read more

We've usually come here just for drinks and appetizers on the sun-drenched patio that looks out onto the lagoon. But yesterday we stayed for an early dinner. Results were mixed. As ever, the bread basket and dipping oil were terrific, as was our daughter's soup. But my pinsa-style Diavola pizza was nothing more than ordinary, featuring a forgettable tomato sauce with only the oregano standing out. Same with my wife's Spaghetti Pomodoro, which reminded me of the inoffensive Chef Boy-R-Dee spaghetti that my mom used to serve us growing up. Nostalgic value, yes, but definitely not worth restaurant prices. By the time we left, though, the place was unaccountably packed, possibly due to guests from the nearby Acqua Hotel. Or possibly because of the dearth of decent Italian food here in Marin. Whatever. I remember Piatti's being better before its menu and decor renovations. read more

Pretty blah run of the mill Italian restaurant. The pasta dishes we ordered were overcooked. The staff almost seemed annoyed. We won't be going back. read more

I was there a couple of weeks ago with my son. I ordered the butternut squash soup, which was tasty but my mistake because it wasn't terribly creamy as I had hoped, but I augmented it with the whipped ricotta cheese that came with bread. We both ordered the pesto pappardalle which was good, but my taste buds might have been off because as I really enjoyed it the first time I had it last year I didn't love it as much this time - not the kitchen's fault. My son ordered the pizza diavola, which he enjoyed ; we brought most of it home and then my sister and my brother-in-law enjoyed the rest. The restaurant wasn't terribly full- server was fine. We had a great server last year who was wonderfully sweet and attentive. This guy was merely efficient so I wasn't that impressed with him. read more

Nice atmosphere, with a good view of the water. Our server was knowledgeable on wines and gave us a good recommendation for our party of 6. The fritto misto appetizer was way overcooked and the bread had no flavor. We all split Caesar salads, which we told the server. The lettuce leaves were uncut, so we not only had to split up the salads ourselves, we had to use knives to cut up the romaine to eat. In all fairness, the menu states the leaves would be whole, but it doesn't make for a good dining experience. Although my lemon tortelloni was delicious, we're from out of town, and the locals we went with were pretty disappointed in their meals, so I have to consider in the review. There are too many Italian restaurants around here, so we'll go to a different one next time. read more

A few weeks ago I was at Piatti for lunch with a group and there was a lunch menu; $25 for 2 dishes. Wonderful food for a great price. So I returned to have lunch with a friend, asked for and was given the $25 menu only for it to be taken away 5 minutes later and told it no longer exists. What?!??! So we had lunch, $100 for 2 salads and dessert!! Not as much food at twice the price. I call this "Bait & Switch." They won't see me there again any time soon. read more

Exactly 10yrs ago, my husband and I had our wedding reception here at Piatti. Today, 10yrs later we decided to come back to celebrate our wedding anniversary with our daughter. I see that they remodeled a little bit and it looks more modern but still has a cozy feel. I made a reservation on OpenTable and selected that we were celebrating our anniversary - I think that's why they sat us by the window. Our server was very attentive and the food was delicious, just like we remembered it to me. It was such a good feeling to be back here and to have our daughter with us. read more

This is my favorite go to restaurant for lunch when I'm in Mill Valley close to the 101. They have an Italian fare with pizza, pasta and paninis...we had the panini version burger with a delicious Caesar salad with chicken protein. We finished with the warm donuts and a macchiato. The ambience is amazing with a view of the bay cove looking towards Mt Tam. The staff is friendly and attentive. read more

We had our department's holiday dinner here, and were delighted. Drinks and dinner over lively conversation - and a wonderful time was had by all. Specific to the restaurant, we found service attentive and friendly. Appetizers and drinks excellent, and each of the entree selections for a large party were tasty and well-received. Overall I was impressed by both staff and food. My first time here (was suggested to me by a colleague, and I selected it for the event), and it will definitely be an option in Mill Valley. read more

The brunch menu had a lot of tasty options. I opted for the burrata omelette with sun-dried tomatoes. It wasn't extremely flavorful, but it definitely tasted fresh. I sat on the patio with the view of the lake and it was a very nice, relaxing experience. I will definitely come back to try their dinner menu. read more

Three of us went for dinner Saturday night August 16th. My chicken Marsala was disgusting. It was covered in raw garlic and raw onions. Service was awful and the waiter had a really bad attitude. The rest of my family was also very disappointed as well. I assume they have no chef, but just line cooks? It's a beautiful restaurant, but it was a horrible experience. I won't return. read more

We were looking for a new place that had an happy hour and we found this place. The place is pretty big inside and it has a balcony for outside seating which has a view. We sat at the bar and ordered some drinks along with a couple appetizers. Our drinks were an aperol spritz, a glass of Rose, and a glass of Sfera. All of our drinks were refreshing and nice. We order a margherita pizza, pickled cauliflower, and the pesto balls. The pizza dough was light, and thin, and the sauce was tasty. The cauliflower was just okay, the pickled takes away from any flavor it would have from the coating, and the pesto balls were delicious. The marinara sauce was pretty tasty as well. The happy hour is pretty good, $9 for drinks and the apps are reasonably priced. We need to come back and try some entrees next time. Our Bartenders Imaul and Cesar was pretty nice and knew how to make some good drinks. The service was pretty good. read more

Consistently excellent pasta and salad offerings. Very friendly service. Great location overlooking Richardson Bay.

Had the lasagna. It was ok. Had to ask for bread but wan't given the dip. Server was attentive though. Reconsidering whether to have my husband's 70th birthday here. I was going to give my name and number after my meal to the lovely lady to discuss but decided not to. read more

This was a visit primarily for cocktails with friends, although there were some appetizers involved. Since I can't really rate the food what I can do is tell you about the lovely experience we all had at a corner of the bar overlooking the bay. Cesar, our bartender, was a delight - recommended some new and different cocktails for each of us, and we were are very pleased with the result. I like the huge ice cube they use instead of traditional cubes - I think it keeps the beverage colder and lasts longer that smaller cubes. I've had the Bolognese there before (amazing) but have to say just sitting at the bar with friends is one heck of a great time! We'll be back for more. read more

I recently decided to go back to Piatti's and give it another try. I must say, we really enjoyed their pizzas, the outdoor patio (though it can get hot on a sunny day), and a drink. The mushroom pizza was loaded with ingredients, full of flavor, and the crust was light and crispy. read more

PIATTI DID THE RIGHT THING. I ordered a salad with salmon on top. It was delicious. The salmon was cooked perfectly. Because I could eat only half of it, I asked for a box to take the rest home. After a long-ish wait, I asked about it. The waitress returned to the table with an apology. Half of that wonderful lunch had been discarded. BUT -- she asked us to wait just a minute more. She returned with an entirely new lunch, just like the original. THANK YOU, PIATTI. You did the right thing. js read more

After dining at Piatti's in Mill Valley for over a decade, we have recently been disappointed with our experience. The quality of service has declined, with the waitstaff often being inattentive to simple requests, such as asking for salad dressing on the side. This lack of attention to detail significantly affected our dining experience - for example, my partner's salad arrived drenched in dressing. Additionally, we found the cost of bread and breadsticks to be excessive at $10, and the bread itself was bland and flavorless. While we understand that prices have risen--something we see across the board in dining and grocery costs--it is reasonable to expect that with these increases, the level of service should remain high. During our last visit, we had a party of 9 and requested that the bill be split among three credit cards. However, the waiter refused and insisted that we "sort it out among ourselves", further stating, "we can only take a maximum of two credit cards to pay for this bill." WHAT? This was quite surprising, as we have dined in many restaurants throughout Marin and the Bay Area with large groups and have never been told we couldn't use more than two credit cards. It was not a welcoming experience. We also felt rushed to leave once we finished dessert. Given these experiences, we believe there are plenty of other Italian restaurants in Marin, and we do not plan to return to Piatti's. read more
