    The worst. Extremely poor service. Because there were 3 of us, they gave us a ridiculously small table with my husband facing a wall. Husband ordered the chicken breast which looked like two overdone balls of hard chicken. Our server was nowhere in sight and for that matter there were hardly any servers available. Most of them were next to the kitchen talking with one another. Finally got the “manager” who apparently had never managed anything and who just kept saying that “maybe he needed to keep a better eye on things”. We wanted to order dessert. Finally after a long wait for someone, anyone, to take our dessert order, we just left. We have been to Piatti’s often. This is not the Piatti’s we used to know. A big disappointment.

    The patio was lovely at Christmastime this year. Poinsettias growing in the garden around the giant tree (magnolia I think), and the heaters made it nice and warm. Outside is usually quieter; we had a table of 20 out there while we were eating, but it wasn't bad; inside it would have been awful to sit next to a rowdy bunch of ladies, but this was actually not too loud. Food as always was delicious. Veal piccata, papperdalle with shrimp, and cavatappi, all served hot and tasty.

    One of the best Italian restaurants in the La Jolla area. The staff and the server are professional and friendly. It’s also very cozy and romantic. But it’s family oriented as well. The food is delicious!

    Loved our experience. Service was great, food was phenomenal, and they even had custom menus printed with the birthday girl’s name. What a great touch! Definitely will be back again and highly recommend!

    The bolognese sauce, was too tangy and not cooked down to a true bolognese. Been ordering it there for many years. Something changed, don’t like. Sorry.

    We were expecting a very good meal based on reviews , but we ended up being disappointed. Our pastas were low on flavor and the Brussels sprouts were mushy. It was very mediocre and we won’t be back.
