Piattini
- Boston, MA
About this business
Just when you thought the tapas revolution was running out of steam, Piattini began pumping new life into the movement. To be precise, Piattini offers an Italian take on small plates, while also rounding out the menu with plenty of normal-sized Italian classics. Small plates of note include Scallop-Stuffed Roasted Red Peppers and Sage and Veal Ravioli. Those with heartier appetites (or an aversion to sharing) can feast on any number of decadent pastas, or an entree of Milk-Fed Veal or Chicken Scaloppini. The lunch menu is li... read more

Great food, great wine, great service – I always enjoy Piattini. The food is great and the staff is always prompt and friendly. I can not reconmend Piattini enough.
Disappointing from our first step through the door. – We selected this venue for small plates based on the location, calling in advance to make reservations for later in the night. As we were seated by the door (on the coldest night of the year yet) we inquired if there might be another more comfortable table available only to hear the staff mumble "you're lucky to even get a table". Not about to let a rude remark get in the way of our dining experience, we proceeded to select several small plates from the menu and order a b... read more
cute place, good food....BAD service – we were very disappointed with this place, because it could have easily been one of our favorite places to eat. from the minute we entered the place, our waiter was cold and rude. maybe he was just having a bad day? we initially felt rushed, our waiter even told us that he had a reservation in 1 hour and a half for OUR table. (the place was relatively empty and it was a tuesday night, so we didn't understand why our table was the one being reserved for the 8pm reservation). that was fin... read more
Fine food- my Ivy Villa! – Recently dined here with my husband this past weekend...wow! The food was inexpensive and delicious! We had the house special eggplant with smoked mozzarella, so yummy!! The wine list was great, a lot to choose from under $35 a bottle and the waitress was delightful. The Ivy decor on the wall out back reminded me of a Villa in Italy. Dont walk run... you will love it!
Poor management response to a poor dining experience – Our first experience at Piattini was for drinks only. We stopped in for a glass of wine and, based on our positive experience, we decided to return at a later date for dinner. Several months later we did just that. My meal (pasta bolognese) was quite good but, unfortunately, my partner's chicken dish was not. Every restaurant has an off night, but what made this particular evening such a disappointment is that our waitress never returned to check on us. In the end, I ate... read more
Great Lobster Ravioli and Wine List – I have been to this Piattini location a few times, and it is one of my favorite restaurants in Boston. It is not too chi chi, but you still get a great dinner in a cute atmosphere. I absolutely love the lobster ravioli. I have never had to wait for a table, and the wine list and wine pairings are great. I think the portion sizes are appropriate, as are the prices. One warning, I have been to the other Piattini location on Stuart Street, and the food was not nearly as good. I was told tha... read more
Exceptionally cramped quarters deter from an adventurous wine list and an interesting Italian take on tapas. – The Scene Tucked just below sidewalk level in the middle of Newbury Street lies one of the city's more challenging dining environments. As many petite tables as possible are crammed into a tiny dining room with low ceilings and limited floor space. When the restaurant is packed, expect to overhear your neighboring table's conversation while contemplating stowing your bread basket on the floor. The young waitstaff do... read more
Cute patio area, but horrible quality – This review is for my experience during lunch. I can't review dinner, b/c there could be different waitresses and a different menu. I understand that Newbury street is supposed to be overpriced, but I honestly could have made better food myself. I don't usually expect much out of an affordable, middle range meal but this was horrible! The chicken i had with my pasta was extremely overcooked, and lead me to believe that it was actually defrosted poorly. Also, the pace of the meal was sl... read more
Delicious food, but noisy and crammed... – Tried Piattini for the first time... Both my boyfriend and I thought the food was terrific. I had the spicy shrimp salad and he had chicken w/ fontina cheese (we didn't try the small tapas dishes) and both were very delicious! I wouldn't say this place is 'inexpensive'... the pasta entrees are at least $16. But I think the prices are fair for the quality of food. The thing I didn't like is the atmosphere and the small, crammed space. The restaurant was about half-full when we went, ... read more
