Unbelievably disappointed and disaster. I ordered over $55 of worth of food and half of the order was wrong, no utensils in my order, and lastly the food was just dumped in the to go boxes and containers with no care. With the order being wrong, they gave me an uncooked pizza, and with pizza toppings on the side. They state "pizza kit" and with my receipt I ordered a pepperoni pizza. I don't know how or where they got pizza kit from. We are in a pandemic right now and you have the audacity to even throw in a meal for $18 that isn't even cooked!! Are you kidding!? NEVER GO HERE!! read more

A club that we belong to hosted an event here, what a great evening. The event was held in the private dinning room where we had a dedicated server. I have to give this place props for treating all of us so well. The food was above expectations, I was unsure what to expect since it was the first time being here. I soon learned this place has been around a while and theres no doubt why. They know what they are doing. The food was very good, large portions and full of flavor. Overall, the service, food and atmosphere are excellent! Highly recommended for a casual meal, romantic dinner, or group event! read more

I thought it was a tutta Bella or a California pizza.. It's way better. Great kids menu. The descriptions seem a little strange so ask the waiter... read more

Piatti - Linguini with clams and lamb sausage - Italian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

See all

Good service and atmosphere, very consistent with the nice open shopping mall where it's located. The bread and oil/vinegar that is brought to the table to start is delicious. We ordered the calamari appetizer, but to our surprise it wasn't just calamari, it came with fried shrimp, onions, and fennel, and that was weird - didn't really like it. We preferred the complimentary bread. For food, i tried the linguini with sausage & clams, amazing! And also tried the italian meats sandwich, also very good. The french fries were a highlight, I definitely didn't expect an Italian restaurant to have such delectable fries! Highly recommend this place! read more

The remodel is beautiful. Very modern. Seemed like there were lots of servers working. Our service was good. The server was very nice...but almost checked up on us too many times. Lol He was charming though, so it was all good :) We were sitting in the bar, which was a small area, so I figured he was just trying to keep busy, which is good! The reason I only gave it three stars is because the food wasn't that impressive. *I had the gluten free bread....which was literally a stale-ish gf hamburger bun/roll with olive oil. Now I love Udi's bread but this was just weird lol. I would love to see them get some sort of specialty gluten free bread...like homemade or from a bakery. I definitely wouldn't pay $4 for a gluten free hamburger bun again. But it was still nice that they have the gluten free option. So kudos on that! :) *The olive oil and balsamic dipping sauce was just okay. There was hardly any seasoning in it. Nothing exciting. Good olive oil though. I just like lots of spices and flavors in my dipping oil. *Kale & Bean Soup was VERY bland. No real flavor. I would definitely not order that again. *Happy Hour Margherita Pizza was delicious though! Very simple, straight forward flavors. My mom really liked it! *and our Happy Our Wine was great, of course. :) I would probably go back for some happy hour wine with some friends and maybe order a salad. We had a pleasant time and I live close by! :) read more

If this review were based on the friendliness of the staff it would be 5 stars. The greeter was upbeat and charming, and happy to interact with our young boys. Although our server was totally overwhelmed, when he did attend to us he was apologetic, grateful and quite pleasant. Our visit was at the tail end of the recent snow storm and they hadn't anticipated as many guests as they had. A female employee not scheduled to be on duty drove in at a moment's notice to support her team. She had a delightful demeanor as well. The food, however, remains average, especially compared to other Italian in Seattle. My asparagus and lemon cream sauce gnocchi was good but served just warm, not hot, and certainly not remarkable. Other dishes were good. Nothing was great. I guess the food is A-OK but still not deserving of more than 3 stars. Maybe it's the chain restaurant curse. Who knows. I'm not in a hurry to return for dinner but maybe happy hour at the bar for friendly interaction and discounted prices. read more

This review is long overdue. Although I don't get to Piatti very often, I have gone there for many years, and I have loved every dining experience that I have had there. I went there last night with my best friend Ryan. I ordered the prosciutto pasta, the white bean and kale soup, and the blood orange soda. All three items were absolutely delicious. Ryan also ordered the prosciutto pasta, and he loved it. The quality of the food is that of a much more expensive restaurant, so the value for the price is very good. There is a dedicated gluten-free menu, and they have a special gluten-free pasta, which I never would have known was gluten-free given the taste, texture, and appearance! The flavors and textures blended with the prosciutto were a bit salty, a bit crunchy, a bit creamy, and a wonderful contrast of heavier nourishing flavors and lighter accentuating flavors. I'm not a restaurant critic but this food makes me wish I knew more specific and precise ways to describe it. It wasn't "too" anything (not too salty, not too heavy, etc). It was just right! The service here has always been excellent, but it was especially good last night. The waiter was just such a sweetheart who obviously really likes his job. He checked on us just often enough but not too often, and he was friendly, welcoming, and attentive. Our food arrived in a very timely manner. We sat out on the patio on a hot summer night. I loved the cafe lights, the trees surrounding us, and the bistro tables. The indoor atmosphere has always been lovely as well, with white linens and an open kitchen where you can view the chefs hard at work preparing your exquisite meal. I'm delighted that Piatti provides such an enjoyable dining experience to its customers in every way, and I am already looking forward to my next experience there. read more

This is a cute lil bougie restaurant located right in the middle of Uville. I'm a college student so I don't really like to spend what little money I have on expensive looking restaurants. But it was my sisters treat so we had to try.. Lol. When we entered we weren't warmly greeted by the hostess. Granted, we were THOSE customers who came in 20 minutes before closing.... But still. Also, I couldn't tell if our server was being sassy or if he was just funny. Either way it didn't bother me that much. The food is what drives my review. It was mediocre & simple Italian & please be aware you're paying $$$ for the atmosphere here, but it's U Ville and you probably knew that already! read more

Love this place. My husband and I walked in on Valentines day (which we don't celebrate at all and never thought we'd get in to eat) and were able to get a seat since someone had cancelled. They always are willing to put up with my crazy requests, "like cant those potatoes be mashed like this one?" I become super indecisive when hungry. And with so many good things on the menu it's hard to choose. Service is always great from everyone, but we especially love getting Bruce as our hostess. He's friendly and attentive to detail. Consistent, great food, great customer services and appropriate pricing make this place a regular for us. read more

A nice surprise. A friend and I were looking for a place to eat in University Village before the Husky football game on a Saturday afternoon. It was between lunch & dinner--but Piatti had some "Saturday Brunch" deals. I had a shrimp & sausage ragout served over polenta--unlike anything I've ever had. Excellent dish--even more so because the price was reasonable. The beer selection was simple, but good. I had a really nice Bloody Mary. Great service by the wait staff. A really good experience. I'm a Husky season ticket holder and we go to the U Village area multiple times each year. I would go back. It's more of a date kind of place than a kid-friendly outing. We were able to walk from the UW light rail station--a great place to meet friends for pre/post game, or any UDub event. read more

Piatti - Italian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I am so full and so happy I stopped into this lovely place. For one I got out of the rain and secondly I had the BEST server and the most delicious meal. Ask for Ryan if you can. Any place the offers me bread to start makes me happy. So they got off on the good foot. A must have (although it might be seasonal) is their butternut squash ravioli with hazelnuts and sage. If it was socially acceptable to like the plate I would have. Desert : EAT THE DONUT HOLES filled with goodness. I say this with so much love... Eat the damn delicious donut holes and be merry. read more

The remodel is well done. The place is more modern and much brighter, but It's definitely not as romantic as it used to be. The White Bean and Kale soup was delish. Definitely was nice to warm up to on a cold rainy day. The Funghi pizza was a bit disappointing. Way too salty and covered with so much arugula, it kind of looked like a salad. I didn't even notice the wild mushrooms as its main topping. The Italian sandwich wasn't really even an Italian sandwich. It was too heavy on meat and light on vegetable and flavor. Not a good balance. The wait staff is fabulous as usual. The menu is smaller and some of my favorite pasta dishes were missing (bring back Butternut Squash Ravioli please). Definitely a good environment for drinks and happy hour after work, but definitely not the place to go for authentic Italian meals in an intimate, romantic environment. read more

Nice place to go on a date. Food is decent but wouldn't go out of my way to get it often. My boyfriend and I had a decent time. It's a convenient Italian place so my friends, family, and I go often when we want something fancy and Italian. Very standard University Village restaurant, somewhat pricey and okay food. read more

Early supper. 5 other customers. Poorest service in years. Got order wrong two tines fr same diner. Had to get up and go to cooks to get attention. Will never return. Place sucks, read more

Solid food but not the best. I've been here a few times and all have been positive. The people working here are friendly, great attention to detail, and fun people to talk to. The food however is nothing extraordinary. This place is great for somebody who is hungry but is willing to pay a little extra to get a nicer Italian meal. I'd say this place is in the similar vicinity as olive garden. read more

Stopped in here during our weeknight date night. Restaurant was pretty empty but still seemed pretty cozy. We sat in the bar as we had already eaten and enjoyed a drink. Both our cocktails were good and the service was decent. A little slow for the lack of customers in the restaurant but we still enjoyed ourselves. read more

Piatti - Italian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

There are a few things I love about Piatta. 1. Getting a seat is easy. Even if the eating area were crowded (which it hasn't been any time I've been there) there's also plenty of room in the bar area to eat. 2. The drinks are great and the bartender is super friendly. They have great wine recommendations and even exchanged a corked wine with a new wine quickly. 3. The food has been consistently good. I've had the clams there and the gnocchi. The gnocchi is perfectly pillowy and the clams were plentiful. My family has also enjoyed the bread every time and it always comes warm (although it's not free). My family members have had the chicken (doesn't seem to take as long to cook as the warning on the menu suggests) and the meatball pasta dish (was awesomely spicy) and also enjoyed them. read more

We came here to sit and drink at the bar so that is what i am reviewing. The bar area itself and as a whole the restaurant feels classy but relaxed. The bartenders were casual, semi attentive and friendly. The drinks we ordered were from the happy hour menu. I would suggest sticking to the itailian drinks because the old fashion i had was so so and the endless summer was blah. Overall the experience was not bad but not great so good it is. read more

My date tonight never showed but I had already taken the time to get ready and drive 30 minutes here so I decided to stay and treat myself instead. I'm so happy I did! Michael H. was my server tonight and he made my evening and my dinner at Piatti an enjoyable and memorable experience! I've worked in the service industry for years and I acknowledge superior customer service and if I could give him 6 stars, I would. Aside from being attentive, accommodating and professional, he recommended the best Piatti has to offer! I'll definitely be recommending this restaurant to all of my clients for their date-nights and special occasions read more

I'm new to Seattle and have tried a few times to check into this place . Both times the staff was very busy chatting, so I went to Ba- Bar around the corner which was excellent. My food experience was just Ok. After having the bartender clean my wineglass of because of somebodies lipstick. Today, I was lucky to get a seat by the bar while the same staff was in the background chatting it up. The bar area was filthy. Really ? In today's market ? The bartender was nice and attentive. I ordered a sandwich. Herbed chicken with pesto. The chicken was dry, but flavorful. It has potential to be a nice dish, if the cook would pay attention to the chicken. Generally seen, it was just ok. Just to let you know, there is no authentic Italian restaurant that serves or carries Cesar salad on the side. I'm not coming back. It was just barely noticeable food. Somebody mentioned mall- food ... yeah, that's about correct. I'm a personal chef in LA, this is just not good enough to spent money on. read more

The last thing I want to do is leave a bad review for a restaurant I didn't even eat at. My wife and I came here on a friend's raving review on Piatti food. We were seated promptly and given water and food recommendations by the host ( whom I thought was the waiter/waitress). It was the very beginning of the dinner rush and four tables were already there before us and were in different stages of being served. Still waiting to be acknowledged by any sort of human life form but my wife was happily greeted by a beautiful boxer, im sure the boxer would of taken our order if he could talk. Still waiting.....,..........................................about 10 min I finally get up and tell the nice male host that no one has acknowledged us yet and I walk back to my table and I sit with my wife and wait to be acknowledged....................during this time three other tables have been seated and "acknowledged" by their server and their drinks were being served and yet we still wait..............................The table behind us were seated and they had two dogs, a server (who was going to be our server) came out and brought water to the dogs and played with them. There's three or four wait staff and still nothing, Im very upset by now as is my wife too. I finally get up and go inside the restaurant and asked the man at the bar for a manager "oh, he's in the back somewhere" Our waitress (the one who brought water and played with the dogs) claimed she just got there and "she did apologize" but we were like ghost and everyone was being served but us. Our waitress did seem to be sorry and I believe her. The restaurant failed miserably without serving a dish of food or a cold beer. My wife and I are frequent patrons of local restaurants and spend good money and tip well. Everyone lost out tonight. read more

Came to eat here with my mom and daughter a couple days ago for lunch. We were seated right away- however we waited for 15 minutes before anyone came to acknowledge us. Another 10 minutes go by before our order is taken. We ordered the bread, meatballs, and 2 pizzas to share. Bread came out right away and the meatballs shortly after. However, the pizza took 20 minutes, and once it was brought to us- our server Zach never checked in on us to see if everything is ok- like most restaurants do after your meal is brought out. Our drinks were empty... water gone... and now we waited another 15 minutes for him to come back with our boxed leftover pizza. The service was unacceptable as he was very out and about with other tables and checked on them, brought refills, etc. another waitress was more than pleasant with her tables and checked in on them frequently. It seemed as if Zach had no time or care and basically didn't give a crap about our table. Very very disappointed in the service. Even if the food was good- we will not be coming back. I always say- you can have just ok food, but if the service is good, people will return. Sadly, this is the opposite for us. read more

Piatti - Italian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

We hadn't eaten at Piatti in some years, so we really had no expectations one way or the other when we dropped in last Friday evening. But we were certainly very pleased! We had a pizza, the mushroom one, that was as good as any I've had anywhere, and a few sides. The broccolini, braised I think, in particular was very fine. The service was great as well, very attentive and efficient, and we noticed with gratitude how carefully they attended to things like masking up and maintaining safe distances. It was not cheap! But you know, I've spent a lot more for worse evening's meals. It was a very good value for a very good meal in a nice place with great, fast service. I'm really glad it's in our neighborhood. read more

My husband and I made reservations here for valentines dinner. Our server was Lily R. It was an extra special dinner for us because we just had come from an appointment where it was determined that we were either having a boy or a girl. We had 2 cupcakes with a us one with pink inside and one with blue. Lily was so excited to help us and she took the cupcake and the results and put a candle in the cupcake and made it the most special dinner we have ever had. She was so helpful, attentive, and kind. The service was incredible! The food here is absolutely amazing. My husband always gets the linguine and I always get the spaghetti with meatballs. Thank you Lily for making our night so incredibly special! If you go here, make sure to ask for Lily. She is wonderful. The food here is perfect every time. The atmosphere is also delightful. read more

First, let me just say I'm basing my experience purely on the white bean and kale soup along with an order of bread (with seasoned olive oil and vinegar). I didn't expect much when I went here considering they "only" have 3.5 stars. (Then again, some of my favorite places in other cities don't have the stars to prove it.) But when I asked the server how this soup was and specifically if it was more on the healthy side or more on the creamy, flavorful side, she said it was great and specifically had a lot of flavor from seasonings and parm cheese not mentioned in its description. So, I ordered it, a $9 bowl (2 cups) of it. I also ordered the bread, which apparently you are supposed to receive for free (first basket only); however, our server said that policy didn't apply during happy hour (although the soup I ordered was not off the happy hour menu). So, she charged an extra $3; management emailed me via Yelp after their comment below and said, "I apologize for the misunderstanding. Have a good day." It was a charge though, not a misunderstanding--at least not on my part but rather my server's. I got the soup and bread and will say: The soup seemed quite healthy. Granted, I know restaurant food is great at "hiding" unhealthy ingredients, but this soup not only had zero taste of cheese but even was more a kale soup than a white bean and kale; I think I counted about 10 beans total. (Yep, I'm apparently a bean counter.) Perhaps worse yet, or better yet depending on if you are considering taste or waist, there was no greasy residue on my bowl when I finished. Now, it's not a huge loss, as later that night I indulged in other tasty items elsewhere with less guilt. But after specifically asking about the flavor and health-level of this dish and getting exactly the opposite of what I wanted, I wasn't super happy. That said, if you aim for healthy, there you go... and it's about 2.5-3 stars in flavor. As for the bread, I think others have covered this well: It sucks. For $3 (plus tax and tip), I got 5 little pieces of bread. Imagine cutting a 1/2" slice of a baguette and then cutting that circle in half. That was one piece. And like a baguette, it was pretty darn hard--not fresh, not warm, and definitely lacking in flavor: 1-star. What was great, however, was their olive oil and balsamic concoction; absolutely 5-stars. Bottom line: I haven't had the pastas or pizzas, or drinks for that matter, so maybe I'm missing the stars on their menu. Either way, at best they deserve the star rating Yelpers have averaged to. Don't expect much. read more

I paid 20$ for spaghetti and meat balls and it wasnt good, it was grosly under seasond.

I wont be going back. read more

A solid place in the U-District for work and casual lunches/dinners, but found the taste of the food severely lacking. First off, I'd like to applaud our server for taking such good care of us, as I know managing 12+ people must be hard. She always kept a positive attitude, and kept us updated when our food took a little longer. I came here for a work lunch, and we started with some bread, olive oil, and vinegar, and got some charcuterie boards to share. There are a variety of cheeses, and jams, but not too many pieces of toasted bread. I didn't care too much for the charcuterie plate as a whole, but I know many of my coworkers enjoyed it. The bread with vinegar and olive oil was amazing though! The bread was so flavorful and melted in my mouth. I could of eaten just that, but obviously would of been hungry an hour later. They have a number of great dishes on the menu, but I got the Lamb Ragu Pappardelle. While we waited quite a while for our food to come out, we didn't mind as much, and were thankful when the food finally came out. The portion size is huge, and definitely sharable if you wanted to try other dishes and divide dishes amongst people. Either the pasta was overcooked or not fresh, but the pasta texture just didn't feel right. I've had fresh pasta before and I couldn't taste that quality at Piatti's. The dish I got also lacked in salt, meat, and sauce - which is a disappointment because it sounded like a amazing dish on the menu. Just more salt, sauce, and meat - and Piatti's would of been golden! Also, really random, but they put huge cooked cloves of garlic in dishes here - I suppose for aromatic reasons, but you can always tell them to remove it (it is not explicitly written on the menu, so it would of been nice to know that). Overall, not sure if I'll be back, but definitely not a bad Italian upscale place to have in UVillage! read more
