I hadn't been back to Piatti since the remodel but decided to go there for happy hour last week with a friend. I arrived at 5:30 and sat at one of the high tops in the bar/lounge area, where happy hour is served. The female server came by to ask if I was waiting for anyone and I let her know I was. She wasn't what I would deem friendly in any sense of the word, but took my drink order and came back with in shortly. My friend arrived about 15 minutes later and we placed our dinner order. Again, the server was less than warm and friendly. We ordered the margherita pizza, arancini, and salad with prawns. The food was very good. Unfortunately the service being less than welcoming, and the prices being so high (happy hour isn't so much a deal as much as regular dinner prices) will deter me from returning in the future. read more

My friend and I came during happy hour on a weekday afternoon recently. Their large outdoor patio is well equipped for distancing and sunny days. The happy hour selection is pretty broad, we shared the Brussels sprouts, each got a salad, and I got the pizza. Our server was pretty standard, polite, checked in often, but our pizza took what felt like kind of a long time? When we received it, it was a bit burnt on the edges and we figured it just got left in a little too long. It was still pretty tasty and not a problem to eat. Great happy hour selection and comfortable set up for socially distanced eating. We'd go back again during happy hour but didn't see many entrees on the regular menu that really appealed to us read more

This restaurant gives you a 5% surcharge instead of being upfront about their pricing. Don't support this unethical and slimey business practice. read more

Very cute place. Extremely clean and aesthetically pleasing. Their kitchen puts mine to shame. Randall was our server, he was super attentive, super nice and did a very good job at explaining the menu to us. Food overall was pretty tasty. I got a taste of everyone's dish at the table and wasn't disappointed by any. I ordered the duck fettuccine, my sister ordered the gnocchi (flippin' amazing), and my cousin ordered the puttanesca. The only negative I would have to say is that prices are a little north of what we're used to paying. Ex: lunch was a little more than I'd normally pay at another restaurant. The lunch portions were also on the smaller side. But, keep in mind you are in U-Village at a fairly nice restaurant. read more

Great food, lovely atmosphere and sweet waiters and staff for the full service of our company event today. Came here for lunch and a champagne toast (I had water) after volunteering with colleagues today. Had a lovely buffet set up for us with a bartender for those who wanted an adult beverage. The presentation was nice. I sat outdoors on the patio. It was 86 F today so the sun umbrellas were welcomed. They had a blanket at each table for folks just in case. For the food, I had the following: Pita bread, hummus & tomato - everything was super fresh and the bread was great Cheese board Prosciutto wrapped cantaloupe - melon was a tad under ripe Arancini - perfection Meatball slider - tangy sauce, just right bread and perfect portion of meatball Chicken satay - didn't get any sauce; chicken was tender Will come back and try something on their regular menu soon. read more

My wife and I ordered 2 things. Margharita pizza and the meat and cheese plate. The pizza was the winner by a mile. The meat and cheese plate? Needs help. It wasn't even about the meat and cheese that comes with the plate, those were great! The brie and fig jam along with grilled bread was fantastic too. But the sides they added with it was just odd to me. It really brought the experience down. Instead of some nuts, or pickles or crackers... they give you beets?? Beets!? No. I do not like knowing what the earth tastes like. Thank you. Also, the pickled veggies I was excited about was actually carrots (only one slice) celery (fine I'll eat it) but then get this... onions. Pickled onions. Not even the purple kind you may find on a fancy taco somewhere. Why would anyone want to eat pickled onions like that? I may be in the minority here with that one. But I haven't seen it before so it threw me off. The place itself was awesome. Staff professional and classy. Place was empty when we got there but jam packed by the time we were done. There is definitely a lunch rush here. One last thing. Lift weights before you come to eat here. You're going to need extra muscles to open that heavy ass door. read more

We hosted a private dinner for ~30 people and had a great time at Piatti at Uville. Food was excellent, staff was great, and the events manager was a pleasure to work / coordinate our event with. We'd definitely look to host and event there again! read more

If you're looking for a safe Italian restaurant, this is the place. We ordered the margarita pizza, rigatoni, and ravioli and they were all delicious, but there wasn't anything unique about each dish that would differentiate it from another Italian restaurant. Overall, the food, service, and ambiance were satisfactory. read more

I took my family here for a meal prior to going to a show at the Paramount downtown. It's part of the University District Mall. It's a nice physical space and has an classier, elegant feel to it. Like most businesses they are struggling with having enough staff during COVID-19 so we waited a fair bit for our meals on a Friday evening. The food was solid but not spectacular. I thought the portions were a little light. The price was about what you would expect for the higher end restaurants in the University District mall area, which is a little high for me. This won't be in my regular spots but it can be a good spot for the right nice occasion. read more

I've been here several times. Over priced for the most part. Today I had a soup and salad and tea. It was $44. I couldn't eat the soup because it was so salty. I told the waitress and she said "sorry." Meh. read more

Slow service in the bar. Food was cold. Bacon in sandwich was very cold. Friendly server when we could find her. She never checked on us after delivering food. They were not that busy. read more

My wife and I went for first and last time to Piatti. The service was good and the setting/atmosphere/decoration was ok. In our opinion food was barely average. She paid the bill without checking the receipt, later she was checking her receipts and realize they charged her twice for one of the plates ($26). She was very upset about this. It is what happen that you trust the waiter/ress charging you right. Considered more of a problem to go to the restaurant. Two factors for the low rating food it is overpriced and the double dipping. But basically this place our patronage and most likely our friends. read more

Avoid unless if you are super patient, can wait 20 minutes for the server to greet you, and then remind them for every course. Food quality is ok, nothing special. Broccolini was great, but everything else was mah! read more

Young, inexperienced staff with inflated prices for mediocre food. Came here for lunch. Started with the focaccia bread. Long wait from overwhelmed young waitress, not her fault for 20 minutes wait. Next, ordered the mussels with squid ink pasta. I could tell the kitchen was trying, but my pasta was cold and many of the mussels came with empty shells. This would have been good, had it not been cold and came with mussels meat, not empty shells. No check in from overburdened waitress, to tell her my food is cold. Paid almost 100.00 for salad, entree and one glass of wine. The food was overpriced for what I received and management oversee of food item quality was poor. After going through the parking hell to get here, I wanted a slight reprieve. However, my desire for dessert was dashed by aggressive attempts to get me to leave after 45 minutes. The check was presented before my dishes were cleared. Poor service timing was not my fault. Kudos to the young, hard working staff. Coordination between servers and kitchen would improve customer satisfaction. read more

Piatti offers a great selection of food for everyone. I've visited quite often but I feel like there is always something wrong with my group's food. Whether it be a burnt calzone, under cooked pizza, or the wrong order of food. The staff is extremely kind and attentive but the food part is what is lacking. Happy hour prices are a little pricey but they are a great example of the entire menu Happy Hour: 3-6 PM all day Sunday only in Bar & Patio Area Things to Order: Small plate of House Made Pappardelle, Penne, Fries read more

Surprised by how good and reasonable the food is here. Wait staff were pleasant but every pass was a different person. We waited for water refills and salt and pepper. Will go back. read more

Just wow! Unreal bad. Food is beyond mediocre. Severs are great and nice but seem stretched thin. Very unfortunate experience

I came here for my birthday and they gave me a free desert which was super nice on their end. Overall good quality wise it taste very mediocre but the price is super expensive and they try to be a bougie experience but the taste of the food just doesn't follow up with the price. I've tried here twice now and both times the pasta were just okay. If I was craving pasta i don't think this place would come to my mind. read more

I like this place. It's conveniently located inside the U-Village, the service is good and so is the food in my opinion. My personal favorite is the Campanelle with mushrooms, kale, pecorino and walnuts. read more

Food and service for lunch today was fine. But $6 for ice tea? 5% service fee? Big turnoffs. It's tough today to run any restaurant but doubt I would rush back. read more

Service was good and quick, their down fall was the food. The rack of lamb was cold and undercooked, had to resend it back to the kitchen. Same as the halibut, cold, overcooked and no bland. I think they precook the food then warm it up when you order. Doesn't taste fresh. They didn't even offer bread to our table but offered to another table. Won't be coming back. Very disappointed! read more

Piatti - Hailbut with artichokes and rack of lamb - Italian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

One word: Campanella. Or maybe it's Campanelle. It starts with camp! If you're looking at the menu and don't know what to order, get the Campanelle dish with chicken, and unless you love goat cheese, swap it for Parmesan. This is hands down the best pasta dish I've had in years. The flavor is fragrant, buttery, with that sweetness the sun dried tomatoes bring and the zest from the cream sauce and herbs. Also, these are the most unique pasta noodles you will ever eat. I've never had a bad experience here. And they've been nothing but accommodating when I've brought my 1 year old. Very happy staff, delicious food worth every $, and out of all the restaurants in the Village, this one is my #1 if I want to sit down with my family. read more

Piatti - Private dining room! - Italian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Came here for lunch today and ordered 2 pastas and a pint of chocolate gelato. Pastas were about $17 each and our whole meal came up to just above $50 before tips. Pastas were not bad but the portion size was INCREDIBLY small it was shocking. At the end of the meal, I asked the waiter if this was the normal portion and he said that it was. I told him that it was small - he agreed and said something like "yeah, our pasta portions are small. They are 6oz". I was quite disappointed at his response, basically acknowledging the small portion size but yet the restaurant charges entree price? This is not right... My husband and I went for a second lunch 1.5 hours later since the meal wasn't filling at all. Got home, opened up the pint of gelato we got. Given our experience, we were not surprised at all to see that the pint was only half full...and for more than $10 for that pint (can't remember the exact price) Not worth the money at all. Other reviews seems to frequently mention the small portion size so it's clearly a problem. Disappointed to see that no efforts have been made based on customer feedback. read more

Piatti - Pint of chocolate gelato - Italian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Sooooo disappointed! We used to LOVE this place! Now you have to buy the focaccia and oil and vinegar, and the menu is very disappointing. Add to that that the food is sub-par. It tasted like it was a jarred sauce and processed cheese. I had the Black Squid Linguine and the ONLY thing I ate were the clams. My husband had the lasagna, (should be ashamed to even call it that as it had NO flavor), and our daughter had the Rigatoni...Chef Boyardee does it better. We went ahead and decided to try desert....mine was a horrible imitation of Tiramisu...spoiler alert....having coffee-drenched cake with whipped cream is NOT Tiramisu! My husband had affogato, (how can that be made poorly)?....but it was in the wrong serving dish, so made it impossible to enjoy...our daughter had the gelato, and that was actually good. ! $250.00 later for a piss-poor meal. We WOULD like to say that our waiter was exceptional. That and buying the dipping oil was the only plus of this evening! One more thing....the bathroom reeks! read more

I ordered delivery from Piatti, knowing that I have loved eating at Piatti in previous years. There was almost a half inch of oil at the bottom of every cooked dish that I ordered - especially the Brussels Sprouts and the Spaghetti. I additionally ordered the Spinach Lemon ravioli (also too oily) and the Caprese (lots of cheese, little tomato). I tried mixing my leftovers with dry cooked pasta and it was still too oily to finish. I will not be re-ordering, unfortunately. The flavors were good, but unfortunately the pasta portions were too small and the food was the oiliest I have ever had with takeout. read more

ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS SQUID INK LINGUINE!! So yummy and the barrel aged pink Negroni was also fantastic. The service was so kind and had great suggestions for what to try on the menu. The ambiance was relaxing, clean, well decorated, and have a cozy fireplace room that we were sat in. I would absolutely suggest Piati! read more

Overpriced, mediocre pasta. One of my boyfriend's favorite foods of all time is squid ink pasta. So, when we heard this place served it, we decided that we had to come try it for ourselves. Atmosphere: Probably the best part of our experience. We came in on a Wednesday night. Our area by the windows was peaceful and sparsely populated, making it the perfect location for a nice, pleasant dinner. Food: I ordered the gnocchi while my boyfriend ordered (you guessed it) the squid ink fettuccine. I was so incredibly let down by the gnocchi. It had no flavor whatsoever; it was like I was eating tasteless carbs. It was my boyfriend's first time ever trying gnocchi, and he was let down by the experience as well. The squid ink fettuccine, on the other hand, was delicious. However, the quantity was minimal. Despite also ordering a basketful of bread to share between the two of us, my boyfriend was still hungry after eating half of the bread basket plus the fettuccine. At the price point of the meal (discussed shortly), I don't think that should be happening. Price: It was $16 for each plate of pasta, plus around $3.50 for bread. Combined with tax and tip, we were looking at over $45 for a meal that didn't even make the two of us full. Yikes. Service: We received our food pretty quickly after ordering, which I appreciated. Our waiter was pleasant, but didn't go out of his way to be extra personable. Overall: Try another pasta joint for better taste and more bang for your buck. I will likely not be back. read more

Patti at the University Village opened yesterday after being closed for several months for renovation. My daughter and I didn't have time for dinner so we went for Happy Hour, which was posted online. This was going to be treat as she grew up going to Piatti for lunch/dinner. 1. The server coldly said there is no Happy Hour for a week or two, we don't know when it will start. 2. The bartender said for us every hour is Happy Hour...not a funny joke. 3. The restaurant was not busy at all, and the bar area was empty. 4. Even if they didn't have Happy Hour bites, all we wanted was a glass of wine. 5. Be careful when dining there the prices have increased e.g. drink $16+, more like NYC prices. read more

Been coming here since before they were here (literally). As an early U Village anchor, have hung in there with Piatti through thick and thin (openings, closings, reopening's, floodings, rebrandings, old management, new management, new uniforms, new designs, all of it). However, this is Seattle in summer. If you close at "9:00", as they do, on a Friday night, please don't start cleaning up and having your team members eating their hard earned dinners at 8:20 or 8:30. Make your closings "soft", not "hard". Not inclined to ever come back, has happened too many times now where my group is last one to leave at an early hour, whatever time of year. It's unwelcoming. Why? I know it's not your lease. read more

I came here because we were meeting family-friends and they recommended this place. It's part of a mall but I had higher hopes for it since it looked quite fancy. The bread they served was great, especially when paired with the olive oil/balsamic vinegar provided. The menu is on the smaller side and has modern Italian twists with some familiar favorites thrown in. The waitress that took our order seemed new. She struggled to open the wine bottle and seemed a bit air head-ish when taking our orders/responding to our requests. The hostesses also didn't say anything when we left the restaurant...no "thank you for coming" or anything... I got the manicotti, which was alright. It was huge (two big manicotti) but so rich... I kind of wish they just gave you a single, smaller manicotti paired with something light like a seasonal salad. It wasn't very flavorful but I'm someone that loves spiciness so maybe it's just me and my dead tastebuds. I wouldn't come here again, especially since it was so damn difficult to find. It took us forever to find a directory for the mall and even then, the store layout is so confusing. read more

I had a fine experience here but it wasn't anything special. My cocktail and salad were good. My panini however, was just a sandwich not an actual panini and wasn't very good. This place is not bad or good, I wouldn't go back. read more

Their dishes were great. I was a little disappointed that they aren't available by delivery and their menu is a bit limited if you have seafood allergies. The service is impeccable from their hostess, servers and chefs. They have a few out door tables and a cozy inside to tuck away and get away from the mall. read more

The pizza looked excellent, makes me wish I would have got it. I had the lemon spinach ravioli. It was average. I don't think the lemon bechamel was a good choice. It should just be a cream sauce. Maybe some basil. After seeing how expensive it was I was really disappointed that it was so average. Place is worn down service was good. read more

This place is amazing! The wait staff work so hard and nothing is ever a problem. The manager has the ability to run the hostess station, serve and direct staff all with a smile. I am so pleased we chose this place! Great food, wine and service! Well done! read more

The food was excellent. My girlfriend and I got the ciabatta bread to start, then lasagna and chicken Alfredo. The food came fast and was delicious. The service was good as servers were not overbearingly in your face but were around if you needed something. The ambiance of the place was nice however, a large party or group came in and was way too loud to carry a conversation. read more

We were a party of 7. The food was good but the service was appallingly bad. Our waiter didn't ask if we wanted drinks to start. When we did order two bottles of wine, he plopped them down on the table at one end and we were left to pass them around and serve ourselves. Had to ask for serving spoons for the dishes we asked to be served family style. Someone brought the desserts out then left us to look at them, without serving utensils, clean plates and clean forks. Etc. Noise level was high. read more

This was a decent Italian place, we stopped in after a day of shopping. The hostesses were super friendly and accommodating, the pizza was really good and thin and the sauce had a lot of great flavor! I was initially iffy about the lemon cream sauce since I don't love lemon flavor, but it was pretty subtle and really good. The ravioli was filled with a great filling, super flavorful! pretty good spot if you want some good Italian food read more

We had a great family dinner here last night. They were able to take a reservation the night before for our group of 8, which was awesome. They have a gluten free menu and great kids menus. They were super helpful in checking on whether items had egg or not. They were patient with our kids. The food was all really good. Service was good and our food came quickly. My only feedback is that many of us got the pasta puttanesca and we would have liked it to be a little more flavorful. read more
