Piatti San Diego Reviews
Try the Ravioli!
We enjoyed a tremendous dinner at Piatti. The home made ravioli (vegetarian) with lemon sauce was to die for. Best pasta ever! Looking forward to returning with friends.
My son and DIL took me here to celebrate my birthday.
Slightly disappointing experience... the food was great, oh, absolutely. However...the waiter, when noticing it was my birthday, asked if I wanted Prosecco, or wine. Sounds complementary, right? Wrong. He added it ($17) to the bill. Not ok, my man!!
Vibrant Italian restaurant in great location.
Food was wonderful, especially homemade pasta. Service was good. Affogato was amazing! Only disappointment was the Tiramasu, probably worst we have had. Had no flavor whatsoever, extremely bland. Other than that we will definitely be back.
Best Italian restaurant I have ever eaten at! The people
Best Italian restaurant I have ever eaten at! The people were very friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere was perfect! I have eaten Italian all over the world and this place is up there with the best!
Really enjoyed the burrata salad with the lemon vinaigrette.
The bruschetta was quite good as well. Unfortunately, the pasta dishes weren't quite hitting it for me. The red sauce wasn't thick as I had hoped and savory. Nice patio area especially during sunset!
First off, I would not call this place Italian.
I'm native Italian and the food here is not authentic at all. I've lived in La Jolla Shores for years, and Piatti used to be my go-to restaurant. When Tom was the manager, everything ran like clockwork--the food was consistently good, alw
Great ambiance, love the interior.
The front of house staff was superbly polite and efficient. The service was fast and the server was really nice. The food, however, disappointed us. I ordered the lasagna and it was cold in the middle which tells me it was reheated in some way. Whi

Piatti is absolutely worth the drive from Orange County! The food is always amazing, the atmosphere is warm, and I've never been disappointed. Highly recommend!

This spot is quickly becoming one of my favorite Italian places to dine at. We made reservations on a Friday during lunch, but you could easily walk in. Highly recommend sitting in the courtyard. It is beautiful there. We ordered three pastas, and

Haven't been in over a decade but the food at Piatti's was just as I remembered...delicious! My 3 yo daughter finished her entire kids pizza and it was NOT the size of a typical kids pizza AND she's an extremely selective eater! Appeti

We were seated without a wait and warmly welcomed by our server, Izzy, who responded to our requests for recommendations on food and wine with the knowledge of a seasoned restraunteer. The food was exceptional as was the overall experience. The ho
Beautiful ambience
It’s a beautiful place I sat outside. There were a few people waiting when I got here but they sat me fast. My server was Monica, she was nice but it took over 20 mins to get the lines for my water and my salad. She never came back to the table onc
Piattis needs to refocus on quality
We frequently have dinner and take guests to Piattis. We have noticed over time changes in quality but last night the food quality was so poor I decided to do a review. While I have never eaten at Olive Garden it is hard to imagine the pasta could ha
Great food and atmosphere!
The past two years my friend and I have chosen Piatti to celebrate our birthdays. We love to dine in the private courtyard; it’s a very relaxing environment to share a meal. The menu offers many options, and can say everything we have had was bea
Wonderful Patio seating with lots of plants and overhead canopy
We can highly recommend the Caesar salad, warm olives, grilled eggplant with goat cheese. The Margherita pizza, the Orecchiette with Chicken dinner, the Lasagna and the grilled Salmon with lemon aïoli did not disappoint. The place was very busy, but
Great food
Great restaurant - always busy and shout out for Patrick. Very attentive and friendly. We’ll be back and can’t recommend this place highly enough
Good food and service.
Requested a private room for a wedding rehearsal dinner. Sat and fed 28 people with one waitress. She was great as was the food. Unfortunately the room wasn’t really private. We had open wall to the patio and the kitchen the other side. The idea of
AWEFUL
This review is really hard to write. We LOVE Piatti. Everything was just AWEFUL. Our waiter Ceasar was clueless. Salad was drenched with dressing. We had to ask for bread. It was stale. Waiter never came back to ask if we were ok. I wouldn't be
Great dinner
Our family sat on the patio and had a great dinner. Enjoyed the risotto special every much. We had great service. Recommend reservations during peak travel times
Cute and quaint authentic Italian spot in SD! Bruschetta is
Cute and quaint authentic Italian spot in SD! Bruschetta is a must try and I reccomend booking a spot outside in the patio for a relaxing lunch.
Amazing food! I haven't had Italian food in a while and
Amazing food! I haven't had Italian food in a while and this place was a great choice. I ordered the lasagna and it was rich and flavorful. The staff were friendly and made our dining experience. great. I recommend coming here if you want to eat deli
Have been a fan for years.
Food is always delicious, never skimpy, or overly saucy. Wait staff always friendly. Love the relaxed and easy ambiance.
When we come to San Diego, this is a must stop on our list.
Food is amazing. Be sure to try the specialty pastas as all their pastas homemade. Sitting out on the patio was beautiful. They were especially kind to us for my husband's birthday birthday. Printing a personalized menu for him was a very nice touch.
what a disappointmen! we have been coming to Piatti for
what a disappointmen! we have been coming to Piatti for years but lately the food and service has been lousy. For a $260. lunch that's 4 entries and 2 salads with no drinks for 4 people, you'd expect at least a tasty meal. and the service, omg, there
come here if u want to pay over $30 for bland, baby food.
the best part of the whole meal was the bread, but there were no free refills. the interior is lovely but the food was lackluster and boring.
Loved loved this place.
Food, service and ambiance. The warm olives and that bread with oil dip 10/10
Elegant lunch
Piatti has a lovely outdoor patio, has delicious food, and is favored by the locals. Dress is casual dressy. We got great service.

This place made me feel so special on my birthday, definitely let them know that it's a special occasion at the time of booking the reservation ! All this food was absolutely delicious!! I don't even know where to start this review but let me give
We met up with a group of 8 people.
The service was great, very attentive eventhough our table was very small. The wine was good and the dishes were fine. The only complaint is the mussels. They had a very strange odor. I wasn't sure if it was normal. I ate a few and felt so sick after
Excellent! The food, the service and the ambiance.
The lemon cream ravioli and lasagna was delicious! A must try!
Outstanding Italian resturant
Outstanding Italian restaurant. I had the meatball spaghetti, and my wife had the ravioli and both were outstanding. My wife had the warm olive appetizer (she's an olive nut) and I had the calamari. Both were delicious.
Amazing flavor 🤙
Late lunch with family Parking is very limited, cute place with outside seating, amazing bread with dipping sauce, vegetarian lentil soup, eggplant ravioli & seafood pasta is awesome ! Wow must food and staff are super friendly definitely comin
Not A Good Experience
The service was very slow, took 20 minutes after we were seated before our waiter came to our table. One of the salads we ordered was with chicken which was burned and over cooked. The cannelloni (which was recommended) by the waiter was tasteless.
We made a reservation and were seated immediately.
Service was friendly but a little slow, we had to wait about 20 minutes before we could order. Food was excellent but the bread was not free. Drinks were also quite expensive and there is a 4% surcharge which is a little bit annoying. Overall still a
Great food service and ambiance.
The staff is very attentive and welcoming - they allow you to take your time with your meal and create a non-rushed atmosphere. A definite find. Parking can be onerous but it's Lajolla. Great for a business meeting or date night

As my mother always said "I'm not upset, I'm just disappointed " I've been to Piatti before and loved it. So I took my wife for our anniversary and talked about how great it was. Well the service sucked and the food failed to rescue the

Food was really good here! I had a lemon cream ravioli that was unique and super delicious, The meal was served with bread and we had a Cesar salad, No complaints from me!
I had a surprise 60th birthday party for my wife at Piatti.
It went perfectly! Food and service were right on. Feedback from all 30 guests were uniformly positive. I'll plan my next event there!
Would give one star if I could simply due to the service.
My roommates 23rd birthday reservation was made for 3/2 at 6pm for a party of 15 weeks in advance. There happened to be some rain that day and instead of the restaurant accommodating our reservation inside, they called us at 5:45 stating that they co
This place is absolutely amazing.
The inside bar area was so lively and vibrant. Every dish that came out of the kitchen looked so amazing, I wish I had the appetite to order one of everything! This is definitely the most special spot in La Jolla Shores.
Amazing authentic Mexican place with a cute vibe.
Loved their vegetarian options and amazing cocktail

Ordered drinks - Lemon Drop and Mezcal Margarita very good, Ashleigh is an amazing bartender! Food - ordered two Ravioli dishes Ravioli which was made with a Lemon creme sauce and Ravioli di Zucca. The hard thing was deciding which tasted better. Bot
Thoughts from a local
Great place to celebrate a birthday or anniversary as they put your name on your menu. Food was outstanding, service was fine but we sat too near an open door and across from a loud table. I would recommend sitting outside on a warm night or bundle
La Jolla high level Italian restaurant
During my business trip needed up (again) at Piatti in La Jolla. Sitting in the garden is a very nice experience. It’s upscale but not fancy so you feel comfortable. Food wise no issues. Quality of pasta was excellent. When back to San Diego and La
Welcome back from Covid Piatti
Been going to Piatti since 1995 when my boys went to UCSD in the late 1990's and early 2000. We were disappointed when we went right after covid but it has improved since then. Still the most popular restaurant in La Jolla Shores. My grandson loved
Great service & awesome food
Ate here last night with another couple. The food was amazing! My husband had a shrimp pasta dish, I had a margarita pizza and the other couple had a specialty pizza. My husband had an old-fashioned and said it was the best he’s had in a long time.
Piati in 2023
We have dined at Piati for 20 years or more! Last year things seemed different and this year it was definately off!! We seemed rushed by waiter..large event on patio so we were seated indoors by door to patio which was fine. We ordered Brusciatta i
Great Service and Outdoor Area
We had a lovely evening at Piatti while visiting La Jolla. Service was welcoming, friendly and efficient. We sat outside, undercover without having made a booking (we were lucky to get a table). The food was good but by no means the best Italian w
Disappointing
Service was very good. Food was just ok.we have eaten here for about 8 years. Service is very good and atmosphere is the same. Our dinner just wasn’t very good. Probably won’t come back.

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Piatti San Diego at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Piatti San Diego page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* ElaborateHouse74, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* ElaborateHouse74 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to ElaborateHouse74 for any questions Peter may have as ElaborateHouse74 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* ElaborateHouse74 now uses their connections at Piatti San Diego to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If ElaborateHouse74 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, ElaborateHouse74 receives the $200 reward which is credited to ElaborateHouse74's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Piatti San Diego!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
