    Our anniversary celebration was exceptional! We visited with our family. Cedric, our server was excellent with suggestions for drinks and food. We enjoyed every dish that we had as well as the drinks. The different take on the traditional dishes without changing their essence was very refreshing to us as Indians. I do think it's a bit pricey for food that we as Indians can make at home, but overall, I recommend the restaurant highly especially for special occasions and celebrations. The ambience and the service along with the food presentation make it a great experience.

    I have eaten at Piatto's probably 30-40 times over the past 15 years, and every single time, the food has been outstanding. And I have tried many different items on the menu. All have been great! In addition to great food, they have always had impeccable service. The wait staff are very knowledgeable and always readily available when needed, yet not hovering or intrusive. And they have all be very professional but still cordial. Piatto's really is one of my favorite places because the food and the service will always be great, but the prices are still very reasonable. I really don't have anything by good things to say about them!
