    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 once after bringing my water and after I sat it took about 10 mins for her to come. The plates on the table were dirty….the service just wasn’t there. She was nice but the service honestly was terrible I sat with dirty dishes at the table for over 20 mins waiting for her to come back I couldn’t order drinks bc she never came back. (Her service did get better towards the end! She provided a great desert recommendation ) I ordered the: mesclun salad- it was amazing! Very flavorful. Lemon herb half jidori chicken- it was good, the chicken tasted amazing with the sauce that was on it. The mashed potatoes definitely needed salt and pepper. Tiramisu-AMAZING (I am biased bc I love tiramisu but it was honestly really good) Budino di mela- looks and is very similar to bread pudding. Think apple bread pudding. It came out cold as well. Espresso- came out cold the first go round

    Great food. Particularly enjoyed the seafood linguine. Pizza is good but not as amazing as the pasta.

    Food lackluster. I ordered a rib eye medium rare and received a very thin cut that was disappointingly cooked throughout. Potatoes too salty and broccoli a tad too firm and boring. I come here for the ambiance anyway and not for the food but still...

    We all had a pasta dish. The pasta they make is made fresh everyday and is fabulous. I had the spinach and ricotta ravioli with lemon cream sauce and it was amazing! My husband had lasagna and even though he was full, he said it was too tasty to not finish.

    Excellent ambiance, wonderful food, considerate and prompt service, and all with a personal touch. We had the rib eye and short rib canneloni pasta for entrees and shared a gem lettuce salad. The bread and dipping sauce were a perfect starter. I have been to Piatti LJ many times* but it was my partner's first experience (we came to celebrate his milestone birthday). He felt very special and celebrated, but in a low key and sincere way. Our server was gracious and professional, the heat lamps made a chilly spring evening on the (charming) back patio very comfortable, and our cozy table was quite romantic. Highly recommend -- 5 stars all the way. *A very good location for business meetings and friend gatherings as well!
