We had a fantastic experience at Piattino. The food is all made in house, cooked to order, perfectly spiced and authentically Italian. The ambience is warm and inviting, right down to the custom made wood tables, each with its own look. Zachary treated us like royalty, as he clearly understands the service industry well. They’re open for lunch too, a rarity in this post Covid economy. If you haven’t enjoyed dining at this quiet Pearl District gem, you’re missing out.
