Our party of seven was generally satisfied with their dishes, and the service was attentive, polite, but not pushy. I particularly enjoyed enjoyed my eggplant parmigiana and flat bread pizza. The caesar salad was only satisfactory. The view west of the water is undoubtedly an attraction, but given the overall portion sizing/food quality/pricing as well as the obnoxious surcharge, Piatti's came up short for me. read more

Both locations. This restaurant charges bread and dipping sauce. Refills of dipping is $2 each time. The bread and sauce are good. Flat bread Margherita is very good. Not pizza dough but bread dough. They don't have seafood pasta on weekends. I went during the week they don't have seafood pasta either. No lasagna . The weekend menu comes with Branch it's more towards Americano taste then Italian. The Mills Valley location is by the water. Average each person is approx. $40-50. appetizers, bread and pasta read more

Nice location with water front .. service was pathetic. Manager himself was pathetic .. he took order and forgot to let the crew. We kept waiting for almost 30 min before realizing something off! No apologies .. Also be sure to you understand what is included in each dish! read more

Great environment! I go to piatti for dates, and I feel very comfortable as a queer woman here! Food is pretty good, portion sizes are small enough to leave room for dessert! Amazing view of the water. Overall I would definitely recommend this place! read more

I am a long time resident in Marin County. I LOVE eating good food, and enjoying good service with an ambiance including good management. The food at Piatti was delicious. I was willing to overlook the EXORBITANT charge of $35 for corkage!!! Are you kidding???? But then.... Imagine you are out with friends, maybe 3 couples, maybe 4 friends like we were at this dinner, and the MANAGER tells you, " Work it out amongst yourselves, we can only take maximum 2 credit cards to pay for this bill." ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? Honesty, I have eaten in restaurants with multiple people all over this state, this country, in fact the world!! Be it dinner with friends - or for business, I HAVE NEVER BEEN TOLD WE CAN'T TAKE MORE THAN TWO CREDIT CARDS FOR THIS GROUP!!! I WILL NEVER GO BACK TO PIATTI AGAIN. There are many restaurants with good food on a night out...with friends. Why choose one that is NOT USER FRIENDLY. read more

Really nice old favorite that's been pleasing our palettes for about 25 years I believe or more now. Homemade pastas like the short rib sugo with parppadeli and rigatoni bolognese are a few of my favorites. Be sure to get some warm foccacia bread with the Evo basalmic red pepper dip to warm up your taste buds.Choose an excellent glass of wine from their robust list of selections. Excellent service and Richardson bayfront ambience with a view of Mt. Tamalpais will keep you returning to this iconic destination. Mangia my friends read more

Service and atmosphere was good as always. Brought friends here and was disappointed than my salmon was probably 30% smaller than my friend's (see pics). Being smaller, it was on a tad over cooked and alittle dry. Sauce was delicious. I did not complain as I didn't want my friends to feel uncomfortable It still was a pleasant dinner. Will return, but I won't order Salmon as it's inconsistent. read more

Order: - Bucatini - Braised short ribs - Tiramisu Was looking for a quick fix in the area that doesn't require a 2 hour wait. This place didn't. They have a cute outdoor patio seating outside, overlooking the bay but it's nothing too crazy. Now onto the food. The Bucatini, didn't really have much taste. I feel like anyone can toss this up at home with leftovers. The braised short ribs at least had a much better flavor, I'm not sure what sauce they used (paired with polenta) but I'm digging it. And the best part? It was super soft, no fuss with tearing the meat apart. But for that price I feel like you can have something better. Sadly the star of the show goes to the dessert, tiramisu. Had some doubts since I didn't really get impressed by the entrees, but surprisingly it was like the best thing we had there. I think for me, it's a one and done place. read more

We ordered the cioppino, appetizer meatballs, kids pasta with butter, and buttermilk panna cotta. The cioppino was probably the best I've had in a long while. I was surprised at how good it was, even from a take out container. The panna cotta was also wonderful. Our plates were packaged nicely and kept warm on the drive home. This dinner was a win and we look forward to our next visit. read more

Piatti - warm atmosphere, beautiful setting, caring staff and delicious delights - it all comes together beautifully here. I took my associate for lunch yesterday, because it is one of her favorite places to go. They even prepared a favorite special of hers. We walked out happy and full of holiday love and cheer. We shall return to celebrate every close of escrow my associate has. This will be our special place to celebrate. Thank you Ernesto, for making our experience very special. read more

The food tonight at Piatti's was amazing! Our table started with the frito misto appetizer, which was really really good, I would never have thought I would've liked battered fried lemons, but they were amazing and the aioli I could eat with anything - fries, vegetables, Pizza, really just about anything!!! We ate every last drop of that aioli! Our table had the chicken alfredo, the chicken mattone puttanesca and short ribs. The short ribs with mouthwatering polenta might have been the best meal of all, but we all loved our meals, and felt like we picked the best dish for ourselves,! I didn't order the polenta but I tasted it and wow, just wow, the mascarpone polenta was divine, heavenly delicious, I could eat that every day!!! Dessert was as amazing as the rest of the wonderful meal here. We shared the panna cotta and flourless chocolate torte. We loved them equally, but the chocolate was pretty amazing in that it was a wonderful rich dark chocolate taste, but it was not heavy and the whipped cream and raspberry on top was the perfect complement. All in all our mouths were singing with the delightful flavors! The meal was divine but the evening was made perfect by the service. The service was impeccable, Jesus was very attentive as was Josh the supervisor who checked in on us and the cook who came out to make sure we were happy with our meal and we absolutely were!!! They really took care of us, the service was really perfect. We felt taken care of! A wonderful evening out, we left with our palates sated, making plans for the next time we would come back and enjoy this marvelous food and perfect service!!!! read more

Valentine's Night...I know it is cliche but we still paid for the service and the food. The food was good but expensive for what you get. Our server, Matt, was less than happy. Didn't smile or add to the ambience. We were seated in the bar which was just ok. The menu was just ok as well. The bartender made great drinks though. I now remember why I don't come here. I will not back. read more

It's 4:45p.m. on Valentine's Day and my husband and I foolishly thought: "Oh, let's go to Piatti's before 5p.m. and we should be good." Well, the place was packed and all we wanted were appetizers & cocktails. We were greeted by Erika who was so gracious, pleasant, and accommodating...she found a way for us to have a small table since the bar area was full. She really went out of her way and it was obvious how much she likes helping people. The service, food, everything was wonderful and we'll certainly remember tonight. read more

This place is definitely a 5-star. To begin with, the view next to the water is great. The waiters are helpful and friendly. The food is delicious. I ordered grilled steak and eggs for brunch, and my family ordered a cheese pizza (with really nice cheese) and chicken Alfredo. Will come back again. read more

Love Piatti, regulars, as its location is prime right off 101, plenty of parking and always room. But the staff, facilities and vibe is 24/7 on point we love the bar, view and Alberto never disappoint! Today however there was a bar patron doing business on speaker phone and Ernesto, Erica (managers) and Cathy hostesses quickly came to our rescue defusing the situation gracefully and I haven't even mentioned the food 200% highly recommended or maybe I shouldn't ::wink:: read more

Piatti saves the day during Covid-19! As the kids go stir crazy and hangry during SIP for another month, I came home with a family dinner tray of Italian goodies i.e., spaghetti & meatballs, salad, and tiramisu. Next time, I'm ordering additional tiramisu, as the kids were fighting over who gets a slightly bigger piece. Clearly, it should be mom LOL! Wines were half off even high-end sparkling wines aka champagne, but we can't call it that. Their house reds are only $10, from Merlot to Cab Sauv made in Rutherford. I was also tempted to buy a case of their "longer haul" case offerings. I told my colleagues about this great deal and some stocked up the next day; I'm definitely returning for more. Spirits & beer were also displayed on their counters to get rid of their inventory. If the vodka was 60% proof, I could make my own sanitizer j/k. Support local restaurants and businesses. We will get through this together. 'Til we meet again IRL ~ cheers & see you on Yelp (SYOY)! read more

My favorite place for casual dining, special occasions, and just coming for happy hour. Beautiful view, service, and people.

The food was decent, but the check was not. $17 a glass of sub-average wine, really? Can't recommend

We are seriously sleeping on this place. Piatti (to me) gets lost in the mix, and I can't seem to find out why. Their location is gorgeous (give me waterfront any day, plz), their food is consistently good, and their drinks (yea I've had a few) are *chef's kiss*. Do you hate me yet? Anyway- love this place, love the ambiance, LOVE the staff. Coming back asap for brunch and laughter. read more

We recently had our son's wedding rehearsal dinner party at Piatti. There were about 26 of us and it couldn't have gone smoother! The ambiance, the food and the servers were amazing! Working with Ernesto was easy and he responded in a timely manner whenever we had questions!! Our main bartender/server, Adam, was fantastic! People loved him and he made great drinks and always had a smile! Thank you to all of the staff for making it such a fun evening!! Carolyn and Dan read more

It's all about that happy hour power, Bae! Piatti's definitely knows how to do it right. This is one of the best happy hours spots that you can find in Marin! Stopped by for happy hour with a friend and I was totally blown away! Not only was the happy hour amazing, but the views from their back patio were so majestic. Piatti sits right on the water and gives way to some of the most gorgeous views of the Richardson Bay! During the warmer months, you should definitely sit outside to take advantage of the beautiful views. The happy hour selections are excellent! They've got everything from discounted wine, beer, well drinks, and house cocktails along with delicious pizzas and small bites on the menu. We indulged in two of their happy hour pizzas (one pepperoni and one margherita), meatball sliders, and truffle fries. The pizzas were the standouts of course (as you should probably expect from an Italian restaurant). Although they were happy hour priced, they were a nice size and the cheese was nicely melted and enjoyable. Both pizzas had lots of flavor and weren't overly greasy which I've unfortunately come to expect at many Italian restaurants nowadays. I really enjoyed the margherita pizza the most as I'm pretty partial to meatless pizzas. However, the pepperoni was pretty stellar as well. The meatball sliders were equally tasty. Probably could have done without the actual "slider" part as I felt as though the meatballs tasted incredibly delicious on their own, but the bread soaked up all of the lovely juices from the meatball. The bread ended up coming in handy anyways. Instantly fell in love with their truffle fries! They were perfect. Not too oily and super thin which made them perfect for dipping. All of the food was a win for me! The drinks were really good as well. Their well drinks are strooooong! Be prepared for some serious alcohol! For house wine, the Cabernet was actually quite smooth. I love that bring a glass bottle of water to the table so that you can refill it yourself without waiting for someone to come back to your table. This is especially helpful when sitting outside because we all know how hot it can get in Marin. The patio is also heated and they have provide blankets if you get cold. Such a nice touch! Can we talk about this complimentary valet service? Um, yes please! Let me toss you the keys and make my way inside. It really doesn't get much better than that. The best part about their happy hour is that they have it EVERYDAY! Yippeeee! Y'all know how much I adore happy hour, especially when I can have it all of the time. Service is spot on. They will check on you constantly regardless if you're sitting inside or outside. I have to admit that I've only come here during their happy hour, but I've read rave reviews from friends and other Yelpers about their dinner service. If the happy hour is this good, then I already know that dinner here will be fabulous! Totally looking forward to having a nice Italian dinner here soon, but would highly recommend them for an awesome happy hour! read more

Love this place. Been going for years. A mainstay in the area. Clean simple menu and good service. Fond of the happy hour.

I have several complaints about this restaurant. First, my grandson's water had "something" in his freshly poured glass. They poured us a new one. I ordered one of the specialty cocktails from the menu and I could not for the life of me drink it! Tasted like lighter fluid (not that I'd ever tasted lighter fluid) I told the waitress that I could not drink this (but I'd still pay, because I didn't want to be that person) she kindly took it away. I ordered off the wine list instead. My first glass was quite tasty, I ordered another glass of wine to go with dinner but it had LIPSTICK on the rim!! I felt like I had already complained enough so I poured my water into the water pitcher (left on table) and drank my wine from the water glass. Ugh! Now I'm wondering if they re-use water from the pitcher and that's how my g-son's water had gunk in it? Pure speculation, but logical. My friend and I "split" a salad and penne w/bolognese. I clearly stated that we were splitting these. We received one full portioned bowl of Bolognese and no plate to split. Not a big deal but when I asked for a bowl so we can split, she grabbed a bread plate from another table and said to use this? No, we need an actual dinner pasta bowl as it was quite saucy. The food was ok, nothing special. I agree with everyone else about the bread... who serves Italian food without bread? All they had was focaccia bread. It would have been nice have a freshly cut piece of bread and butter with the bolognese. Now came the bill... and a surcharge? What the heck? I asked who I think was the owner, and she explained it was for "health care" for the employees, what the heck? I'm a local employer and WE pay those costs for our employees, not our clients! She asked me where I was from and I said I'm a local. She said that most restaurants in the area charge this for their employees. Sorry, not for me. Overall I left with a sour feeling and chances are slim to none that I will return. The food, service, cocktails and cleanliness of the glasses are not good enough for me to spend that kind of money. read more

Made a reservation for lunch. We ordered two salads, and ice tea and a basket of bread as bread is not included. The lunch was fine, nothing amazing but totally pleasant enough. I have been several times and it was just as I had expected. However, we were told by our waiter at one hour and five minutes he was closing out our bill. I thought that is fine he is probably leaving his shift, but no it was that he wanted us to move on to fill his table. My friend asked if we could sit outside which was was not available. If they were busy, and a line waiting I would totally get it. However there were several empty tables and the entire bar area was available except for two tables. At any rate it was less than welcoming. I will not go back. I am sure they don't care, but we both left feeling that the service was pretty abysmal. read more

Loved this place. My husband and I celebrated our anniversary there and had a lovely time. It was close to our hotel and so delicious. I loved their spicy pepperoni pizza and the everything really. read more

Went for the first time for dinner. Service was great and everyone there was very nice. Our food however left much to be desired. The saffron spaghetti was very bitter and the shrimp had not been de-veined. The lemon ricotta ravioli had so much lemon peel it tasted like a cleaning spray. The donuts for dessert were raw in the middle. I will say that the burrata appetizer, the lasagna, and the pana cota were all delicious though. Overall disappointing and I likely won't come back. read more

Had not gone here for several years. It fell off my radar. Ate outside with a beautiful view of the waterway and there were heaters . Food and service were perfect . Miguel was our primary server though everyone else that we interacted with were friendly and so attentive. The best of old school service With excellent food. I can't remember the last time I felt so cared about as a diner . I will definitely be back soon. Thank you to all the hard working staff and the chefs.. read more

One of the positive things to come out of the last year, is the emergence of "family meals" at some of my favorite local restaurants. Family meals comprise all the elements of a meal that you might make at home, but instead you can have delivered (through Caviar) or pick up. You'll get an entree, salad, and sometimes bread or dessert. It's a three course meal for 4-6 people. Piatti has some of more consistently solid family meals we've found in the area. Their family meals typically include a large family-sized sharable entree, salad, and bread and seasoned olive oil. The family-meal entree options are fairly extensive, in that you can chose between a more cost effective pasta (red sauce or broth and cheese based campanelle), a white bean soup, a salmon entree or a braised short rib, family-sized. They even have something they are calling Tuscan fried chicken, which as near as I can tell is your all American fried chicken, not that I'm complaining. The caesar salad that comes with each meal is super-sized (they call it family sized, but it is extraordinarily huge.) We've tried all entrees, and all are good, particularly the pastas and fried chicken. (The salmon arrived undercooked, so you may want to check and reheat that dish before serving.) Thanks to Piatti's family-meals, the week of menu planning is less daunting and we are able to support a good local business through this time. read more

Sadly this place has gone really downhill. Did they recently change chefs and now the food is bad? I used to love their pizza, but I requested a spicy version of their pepperoni pizza and they put SWEET peppers on the pizza. It tasted disgusting. Who wants a sugary pepperoni pizza. GROSS. They got rid of the pizza add ons that made their pizza experience. Probably for the best because they were charging $5 for small containers of ranch sauce and spices and chili flakes -- total rip off. The donuts are made with the same dough as the pizza. Who does that???? Do not order. Unless you just want pizza crush that was barely sprinkled in sugar. Honestly so disappointing and lame. The bolognese was bland and tasteless and covered in greasy cooking oil that is probably loaded with pesticides -- some kind of toxic glyphosate cooking oil like sunflower or canola oil. DO NOT RECOMMEND. The fries were like mushy frozen fries that were barely cooked. I won't be ordering from here again. read more

Great happy hour! We had a wonderful experience with lovely wine by the glass selections and some delicious bites.

I ordered from PIatti through dish dash and got the eggplant Parmesan and asparagus as a side. I opened the bag the food was warm and there was no bread. I opened each container and the asparagus had three small anchovies on top so I broke them up and stirred them in the food and when I took a bite it was too spicy for me. I had to call back and get a refund because I cannot eat really spicy food. Mild is okay. The eggplant was good but it got cold I was trying to eat it while they sent me through two online people than one called me. Oh well! If you have issues with your mouth and stuff make sure your careful ordering veggies because a lot of restaurants use the spicy method instead of using their brain and time to season a vegetable dish. Maybe they just don't know how? read more

Always great food, lovely ambience and service is professional! Food choices are always in abundance, plus great bread!

Bar tender was rude. Unprofessional with no eye contact. Seemed annoyed when I ordered fountain water lol. From there it didn't blossom. Didn't offer me anything and didn't check on me at all. I had to ask the manager if I could get a refill on my water. Had to ask others for a box and a bag to take my items to go. Luckily, he has others that work near him and clearly they know how to be in the service industry. Food was okay. Manager did try his best to accommodate. I also did notice a 4% service charge on my bill. Not sure what that was for. But never seen that in other places in Marin County. Used to it in San Francisco. read more

Piatti is a disappointment. We went for my son's birthday as he used to love their Bolognese. This is the second time we've been (was hoping the last time we went was a bad night) since they remodeled during the pandemic and while the ambiance is nice, I think I liked it better before. The service last night makes me never want to come back. First the food: solidly mediocre and the pricing seems a bit much for the quality of what you're getting. Again - it didn't used to be this way, but I get it, inflation, blah blah. (They also add 4% to your bill so you can pay their staff so they don't have to. Many people at our table of 7 were commenting on that.) We had the focaccia, meatballs, and white bean soup to start. The bread was good. The white bean soup looked like minestrone so my husband was confused, but then he found some beans in it. He said it was so spicy his throat was burning. Interesting. The meatballs were also spicy (not mentioned in the description anywhere) but fine. Then we had ravioli, the short rib ragu, a pizza, and the Bolognese, Three of us got the ravioli (I've had it before and liked it). This time it was a bit raw/undercooked (not just al dente), and had no brown butter taste. It wasn't even very lemony. For dessert we had the zeppole and some gelatos. I don't know why restaurants try to make zeppole fancy. Whatever kind of eggy batter that was, was NOT GOOD. The oil was old too, so not only was it OVERCOOKED on the outside, it was UNDERCOOKED on the inside and also tasted like old cooking oil. So gross. Honestly, you make pizza here and have pizza dough! Fry that and it will be better than whatever those were. The service was even worse than the food. It took a very long time to get our drinks. Then I asked for a cup of ice. Never came. I couldn't get her attention. My son drank his orange soda but was never asked if wanted another - or anything else. The bussers were AGGRESSIVE. We had the focaccia plates - one empty and one with a piece of bread on it still. They took them both before we could react! We were shocked! Why are you clearing BREAD?? That we had to pay for! Finally got my ice. An hour later after I asked again. Which I needed for my cloyingly sweet cocktail. My brother in law was literally still eating - fork in hand and had one last piece of ravioli on his plate when a busser came and asked if he could take it - literally the fork was IN MOTION. He said "No, I'm going to continue eating thanks." And then to me said "Yeesh, they must really want us out of here!". It was maybe 7:45. I don't know if the bussers are told to keep busy or actively walk around and yank stuff off tables but I have NEVER been in a restaurant where this has happened like this. It's rude and it makes me not want to return here. They did bring out a complimentary birthday tiramisu (I think) to my son with a candle on it - that was nice. All said - overpriced, mediocre food, bad service. Will probably not return anytime soon. read more

What an amazing place. Great view of the water if you are fortunate to get a table by the window. My sister brought me here for my birthday. I had a ceaser salad as a starter then the linguine with clams. yum. Everything was fantastic! The Italian bread is something not not to be missed. Did not have place for dessert but I got a birthday cake courtesy of the house! read more

Piatti - Italian Near Me - Mill Valley, California

Went to Piatti on Monday night with my wife and daughter for my birthday. I was very impressed with how welcomed I was by the staff who left a nice birthday note on our table and treated us very well. We each had a caesar salad which was pretty good but I know a guy who makes the best ever (me-lol!) so I'm a little spoiled, and I had the Short Rib Sugo which was very tender and flavorful with the perfectly textured pappardelle pasta. My wife tried the Prawn Saffron Spaghetti and liked it so much she wouldn't even give me a bite! Our server Eduardo was very nice and had good timing, never making us feel rushed yet checking back to make sure we had everything we needed. The sun setting behind Mt. Tam with the bay in the foreground was an incredible view as well. I never realized just what a great spot this is Finally, the desserts were very good with a tiramisu, affogato and panna cotta our favorite choices, all solid! Overall, a great Italian dining experience! read more
