We celebrated our 5th anniversary at Piatti today, and it was absolutely perfect! From start to finish, every tiny detail was amazing. The service was outstanding—attentive, friendly, and made us feel truly special on our big day. And the food? Incredible! Every bite was packed with flavor and beautifully presented. We couldn’t have asked for a better dining experience. We loved it and will definitely be back! Thank you, Piatti, for making our anniversary unforgettable.

Decided to have dinner there on Christmas Eve. The two of us shared a Caesar salad which provided us each with several good bites of salad. We ordered the seafood risotto with scallops and prawns topped with pistachios. We also ordered the penne with a pesto cream sauce mixed with chicken and prawns. Bread was served as well. All of the food was tasty with a nice portion size. We ended the meal with chocolate cannolis- good chocolate flavor with a nice crispy shell. A complimentary glass of limoncello was a perfect end to this delicious meal.
