We hosted our annual team dinner at this Italian restaurant, and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. Everything was served beautifully — from the drinks to the main courses and desserts — and the service was smooth and well organized, especially for a group setting. The food was excellent, full of flavor, and very well prepared. The portion sizes were generous and satisfying, and every dish tasted great. The ambiance was warm and inviting, making it a perfect place for a relaxed and enjoyable team gathering. Overall, this restaurant delivered on all fronts — great food, great service, and a lovely atmosphere. A fantastic choice for group dinners and special occasions.

Our food was fresh, delicious, well-presented, and came out surprisingly quickly. Although the portions were small for the price, the food was filling. The staff was very friendly and attentive

I had a really nice experience at Il Piatto. I came in for happy hour and tried the arancini and the beet salad. Both were fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented 😋 I also had margaritas and they were perfectly balanced and refreshing 🍸 The atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable and the service made everything even better. I will definitely be coming back 😊 shoutout to Alberto 😊

★★★★★ 5.0 Jacquelyn B · Feb 2026

I went to Il Piatto during Restaurant Week for lunch and made it just in time before lunch service ended. Everything was great from start to finish. I started with the Caesar salad, which was fresh and flavorful, then had the bolognese pasta, which was hearty and really well done. The chocolate ice cream for dessert was phenomenal, super rich and indulgent.

I actually loved everything about this place. Dropped in without a ressie and sat at the bar. Had a beautiful plate of orecchiette that was perfectly al dente with a well-balanced sauce of sausage and spinach. The sauce was a perfect consistency. They served a few slices of beautiful baguette alongside--light and crunchy crust with a little chew in the middle. The bartender made one of the better negronis I have had. I had to take a star off though because there is one major issue with this place, which is that they add a 20% service charge to the bill which they say covers rising operational costs, but apparently none of it goes to the servers. They say a tip is completely optional and not expected, but I got great service so put a tip on top. I didn't see this operational fee dis
