My husband and I went here for my birthday dinner, and I specified that it was my birthday when I made the reservation. I wasn't expecting much but there was no recognition for it whatsoever. We ordered a glass of wine and a lemonade and it took 20 minutes to get those drinks to us. The food was ok at best, and the atmosphere was so loud we could hardly hear each other talk. It felt like we were being rushed out to fit in the next reservation and that they just wanted us to eat and leave as quickly as we could. I wanted to like this place as I've heard good things but overall didn't have a great dining experience. read more

I was looking for a place with authentic Italian food and a cozy atmosphere, and Piattino delivered on all fronts. The moment we walked in, the ambience was warm and inviting--good lighting, rustic decor, and that perfect buzz of conversation that makes a restaurant feel alive. The food was absolutely the highlight. We started with the Arancini which was cooked perfectly. For my main course, the lamb pappardelle pasta was fresh and the sauce was rich and flavorful--you can really tell they care about the quality of their ingredients. To top it all off, the service was excellent. Our server was attentive without being intrusive, offered great recommendations, and made sure our glasses were never empty. If you are looking for great Italian food in a charming setting, Piattino is a must-visit. We will definitely be back! read more

This was a lovely dinner out! The restaurant feels upscale but not too intimidating. Having almost everything in wood is such a nice, aesthetically pleasing choice, and I enjoyed it. Service was quick and our server was very pleasant. I was particularly pleased with how clear the menu is about ingredients and allergens. As someone with a life-threatening allergy, I feel a lot better seeing potential allergens in bold red lettering. There were also a number of vegetarian options, and most of the menu can be modified vegetarian, which is a huge plus. We ordered the stuffed mushrooms and garlic bread. The mushrooms were absolutely decadent and I was very happy with the sun dried tomato garlic bread. I had the vegetarian scampi, which was good. My partner liked his dish as well (I believe he ordered the tagliatelle). I would say the price point is a tiny bit high for the food, but it isn't egregious and the ambiance is nice enough that it balances out. Overall, we had a wonderful time! I would definitely recommend as a nice dinner option if you're in the area to see a show at Center Stage or just to walk around the Pearl. read more

We really wanted to like this restaurant. We had high hopes. Unfortunately, the food disappointed us. The ceaser salad was too fishy. The margarita pizza was one of the most mediocre I've had. The Alfredo pesto pasta was decent but overcooked. The service was friendly and efficient. The restaurant itself was hot, stuffy and dark. read more

Our table of three made a spontaneous stop at Piattino on our way to the airport, marking our very first visit to Portland. We needed a memorable final meal, and this charming spot delivered a perfect five-star experience. From the moment we sat down, everything was fantastic. We started with a bottle of the Barbera, which was smooth, rich, and truly exceptional--a wonderful way to toast our trip. The accompanying bread was equally impressive: crusty, perfectly toasted, and ideal for enjoying with a bit of olive oil or soaking up the last bits of sauce. The true stars of the show, however, were the pastas. Every dish tasted like it was crafted with care and the freshest ingredients. We shared a few, including a gorgeous, creamy specialty (similar to the one pictured) that was utterly divine--perfectly al dente and coated in an exquisitely balanced sauce. The portion sizes were generous without being overwhelming, and the flavors were rich yet refined. Despite the fact that we were slightly rushed to catch our flight, the service was attentive, friendly, and efficient. Piattino provided an authentic, warm, and delicious farewell to Portland that we won't soon forget. We will definitely be back! read more

The first time I went here last year, the food was great and we had a nice time. The last time I went, I left feeling meh. They have a strangely militant and pretentious reservation policy -- 5 min grace period and a $20 penalty for no-shows via OpenTable. Why? It wasn't crowded when I arrived. $75+ for a pesto vegetarian pasta, pizza and two beers. Service was OK. read more

Portland has the best food holy crap! The starter was amazing. The margarita pizza was 20/10! Perfectly cooked and ingredients fresh as ever! Service was also amazing too. Highly recommend. read more

Piattino - Margarita pizza - Italian Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Classic Italian cuisine featuring handcrafted pasta and sauces and pizzas served in a communal almost tavern-like setting, Piattino is a nice traditional respite from all of the new flashy restaurants in the area. Located in Portland's trendy Pearl District, Piattino combines traditional Italian flavors with the bounty of fresh Italian ingredients that are bountiful in the Pacific Northwest. As exemplified by their menu which features a number of traditional classics that one can find in the bistros of both Rome and in New York, Piattino represents classic comfort food crafted meticulously by the hands of their hard-working team. Located on the corner of Northwest Everett Street and Northwest 12th Avenue, I came to Piattino with two local Portlanders who swear by their quality food and service, as they insisted that when we found the time to hang out, it was here where we were going to do it! Finding parking nearby on a late weeknight evening was surprisingly plentiful and we were already sitting inside with last minute reservations hearing their team craft pasta dishes right from the pan and crafting pizzas using their massive stone oven. The menu at Piattino is separated into categories including Cheese & Salumi, Appetizers, Soups, Salads, Entrées of the oven & Handmade Pastas, Handcrafted wood fired pizzas, specials, and Handcrafted Cocktails. To start our meal we decided to share a Polenta Cake, which was served with mushrooms and served on a bed of San Marzano sauce over pistachio pesto. Perfectly cooked and sharable, it only made me want more food because I knew our meal was going to be that good. For dinner, our server "Pickles" mentioned a number of enticed Specials and one caught two of our attention, as their Manzo Manicotti which was pasta tubes filled with natural beef manico, topped with béchamel, San Marzano sauce, pecorino and mozzarella was so intriguing that we both decided to order that entrée. The other person in our party ordered their Risotto al nero, which was a Venetian classic Squid ink risotto with squid, shrimp, and cherry tomatoes. Although they were not a fan of risotto so they easily replaced it with additional shrimp. To pair with our meal some of us ordered their Huckleberry Lemonade which was a refreshing spin on the traditional classic. Our entrées were cooked to perfection with the cast iron pan that held our manicotti. They were hearty without being overindulgent as it was the perfect amount of food for one diner to enjoy. When paired with the perfected grilled bread and my non-alcoholic libation, it was a meal to savor over. My dining mate didn't prefer their risotto so "Pickles" was gracious enough to change it to their suggested entrée of their Hand cut Vegetarian Pappardelle, which featured roasted cherry tomatoes, asparagus, garlic, onions and mushrooms. With one of my dining mates ordering Italian Wedding Soup to start and a Tiramisu to enjoy for dessert, our entire meal cost $136, before gratuity was added in, which was actually quite reasonable considering how much food we enjoyed this evening. I can't wait to come back and try their handcrafted pizza pies because with homemade sauces and fresh ingredients, you know they are bound to be delicious! Dining indoors or outdoors at Piattino you are going to enjoy a memorable experience with good company and even better food, and Portland is lucky that they are here thriving for locals and tourists alike to enjoy. read more

This was one of the most disappointing restaurant experiences I've had in quite some time. My friend and I were able to get a seat at the bar without a reservation and we thought we were lucky since they were busy. The amount of time it took for us to get our drink orders in was lengthy plus we had to tell the bartender we wanted to order food. We ordered bread and calamari which came out at an okay time. I wasn't sure what I wanted for my main but my friend did so she put her order in first. Once I was ready we waited for awhile before the bartender came over to check on us and asked if I knew what I wanted. After a bit my friend got her food but I was still waiting on mine. She ended up finishing her meal and mine still hadn't come out. I was at the point that I wanted to get the check and leave since they didn't even ask if we wanted more drinks. Once we were ready to leave my main came out and I ended up asking for a box since I wasn't even in the mood to eat it anymore. The bartender told us a few tables had snuck their orders in before us but I feel she maybe forgot to put the order in. I had ordered the chicken carbonara and for some reason it had red onions in it and the noodles were not the typical carbonara noodles either. I honestly wish I had told them I didn't want it anymore but I didn't want it to get thrown and be wasteful. When we asked for the check she didn't even have the right items on our bill and it took awhile for her to come over and get us checked out. We didn't want to pay on one check either but she didn't bother to ask that before giving us our tab. The only good thing about this place was the bread and the mango martini. It was such a disappointment for being from out of town and wanting a nice dinner while I'm here. read more

Good customer service but questionable value. Portland is ample with dining opportunities, and it is rare to notice a lacklustre experience in the city. However, I would probably not return to Piattino unless prompted. I chose to dine here solo after a long day of apartment deep cleaning, and I was excited to finally give it a shot after living nearby for a few years. It can be easier to walk further than a block or two away, so here I finally am! When I entered the lovely space, I was immediately greeted by the team, who were lovely by the way. I decided to sit outside to enjoy the weather, and there are several tables of varied sizes so your group can find something no matter the occasion. Once sat, the team came by to check on me a little too often. Twice I did not have enough time to order a drink, but, I also could have been slow with the menu. I decided on the simple aperol spritz to save time. When it arrived, I was surprised by the small size and large amount of ice. For a cocktail more than $15, be more impressive than this. It's easy. The server helped me decide on my main, since there were several enticing options. I settled on one of the lamb pastas, and I was glad that it wasn't a quick table service, but, it was also interesting that it took almost 30 minutes to receive one order of pasta. Perhaps everything is made by hand at the moment orders are submitted? The pricing of the food was too high for what it is. This experience was below that of other nearby Italian places, with massive portions, so that is what you are paying for. There is no way I would have paid more than $25 for what I ordered, yet, my price for the entrée alone was $32. Again, this experience can be improved. There was not a single small appetizer aside from bread below $11 either. Not even olives! I enjoyed the service, but, the price of my solo evening being over $60 with tip was quite a turnoff. Not worth a return for that surprise. Hope they can reinvent themselves slightly since it is a great team with a great location. read more

Portland was truly the best time for me! We came in newly engaged (fiancé popped the question morning of) we were treated so well and truly just had a great time here! Food was amazing I had the seafood Alfredo I believe and it was tasty! Drinks here are also amazing and service truly was just great! The waitress was just so sweet I didn't catch her name but she truly was so kind! We stayed near by and it was only an 11 minute walk, the atmosphere was awesome. read more

I made a reservation to celebrate mother's day a week ahead of the official day through Opentable. There is a no-show/last min cancelation charge for the reservation, which isnt an issue for us but worth noting. We were greeted warmly as they open their doors, and sat down at a table repurposed from a sewing machine (cool!) We started off with some garlic bread and calamari, both were amazing and all ingredients tasted fresh. The coastal storm cocktail is well balanced, and the in-house smoked salt compliments the drink very well. Our daughters shared a Margherita pizza which was well made, and straight from the brick oven. Both the lamb papperdelle and eggplant parm had one of the best pastas we've had, close to what we tasted in Italy years ago. If I have to nitpick anything, the eggplant parm was well made, but didn't quite have anything that stands out (aside from the pasta itself.) We had a new server who was guided by an experienced staff, both were wonderful. My wife was very happy with the meal, both the ambience and the food, so this is definitely a win in the books! Certainly will consider this spot again for special occasions or for out of town visitors. read more

Very nice little bistro. We went the day after valentines day - super hopping at 5pm! Cocktails were excellent, good variety. Pistachio martini caught our eye but felt like dessert so went with the sidecar. Very refreshing. Started with a kale salad, it has this basil dressing that was outstanding. The acid made the tomatoes just jump out of the dish. We shared a pasta dish and a pizza. Pasta was very nicely done, tomato sauce w sausage was very tasty. Pizza was not as chewy as other places but I really liked how the crust stood up to the toppings. The cheese was pretty good on that. Too full for desert or that pistachio martini. Next time! I had accidently booked for the night before and it was awesome that the restaurant could move the res. It was super packed but the workers did an amazing job. read more

Horrible customer service! Visited on a sunny Saturday at 1:30pm, hoping to enjoy the patio. Only one other table was seated outside--a party of two. We spoke to the host and were given menus. Shortly after, the other table got their salad and pizza (about 10 minutes after we arrived). Meanwhile, we received zero acknowledgment from any server. No water, no greeting, nothing. The server returned to fix the other table's incorrect pizza and again ignored our table completely--even though we were literally seated behind them. Then a new party was seated outside, and unbelievably, they were approached by staff while we continued to sit unnoticed. After 17 minutes with absolutely no service, we left and had an amazing experience elsewhere. To be clear: this restaurant was not busy--just a few other tables inside. There's no excuse for this level of negligence. Save yourself the frustration and don't bother with this place. read more

The service was amazing! They have a ton of options I had the squash risotto... might have just chosen the wrong thing, it wasn't bad but I would try something else next time! Pizza was soooo good and we enjoyed the Caprese Salad (can't really mess that up). Skip the brussel sprouts though they were pretty bland and they were definitely burnt. read more

I love pasta but rarely get to eat it, so today was a special treat when we decided to go out for pasta. Serratos is my favorite pasta place but is very popular so we decided to try somewhere new. Unfortunately our experience was incredibly disappointing. What we ordered: Cocktails: - old fashioned 3/5 - not amazing but not bad - coastal storm 4.5/5 - very tasty, would order again Food: - build your own charcuterie board 5/5 - we got the sheep cheese, pecorino, and salami although we didn't like the pecorino it was not the restaurants fault - we just learned we didn't like it! Love the fact that we could pick our own and try something new - lamb shank 3/5 - decent flavor but the lamb was super dry, desperately needed a sauce and the polenta cake didn't have much flavor - lamb parpadelle 2/5 The lamb was definitely very yummy with the sauce BUT the noodles were undercooked, stuck together, and also somehow were mushy and watery. I've never left a pasta restaurant hungry and it was pretty inedible. Good thing they had bread to fill me up - arincini 2/5 The sauce was yummy (albeit a bit spicy) but the inside had too much breading and lacked any flavor - creme brûlée 4/5 Very yummy, love the addition of lemon zest! Overall the place was mostly misses with a few hits, can't say I'd come back soon read more

We came in for dinner right before a show at the Armory just a block away. We had reservations and good thing we did as the inside is quite small and the place filled up right away. We were seated at a cute wooden top table, which was on top of an old sewing machine - we figured that out after resting our feet on the pedal and feeling it push down to move the wheel - fun. We started off with drinks - a watermelon vodka drink and a gin and butterfly pea drink, both very brightly colored and served in martini glasses. They were sweet but tasty and fairly strong. For appetizers, we ordered the beet salad and baked stuffed mushrooms to share. The beet salad was good but had raw oats sprinkled on top as a garnish which seemed a little odd. The mushrooms were absolutely delicious - they tasted like garlic bread. For dinner, we got the pesto chicken and pasta, the seafood Alfredo, and the Cioppino. The protein portions were quite large and the pasta was a perfect Al dente. I was actually pretty impressed since I had some lackluster pasta experiences elsewhere recently. For dessert, we got the pistachio cannoli, which came as a plate of three - perfect for sharing and having just a touch of dessert without getting too fool. Service overall was friendly, but a bit slow. They were full so it was understandable but between the two severs covering our area, the other server who we didn't have was definitely more attentive to his tables. All in all a good experience. I would come back again when craving some pasta. read more

Great ambiance with amazing food! The star of the show was definitely the mushroom ravioli. I would come back for just that dish alone! A good amount of food for the price you pay alongside with great quality. The server was very attentive and nice and gave us time to read through their menus to decide what to eat. They even gave us great suggestions on the Caesar salad and they were all truly great! Nothing bad on my end. read more

If you're contemplating which pasta might be best, get the Lamb pappardelle. It's one of the best pasta dishes I've ever had. There truly is nothing bad on the menu, but the tortellini e pesto is a good alternate. It's a really chill restaurant with decent service and great food. I was, however, slightly disappointed in the tiramisu. It just wasn't what I was looking for, and wasn't a classic tiramisu flavor that I was anticipating. read more
