    Staff is very helpful and friendly. Easy for our group to be seated, and even they accommodate an extra chair on short notice. Food is very good, served on time, no long wait. But the best is, tiramisu. Must try.

    I LOVED this place for dinner when I went a week or so ago. However, coming here for brunch yesterday, I left feeling pretty disappointed. I thought that maybe we'd be able to utilize the lunch menu on a Saturday, but it was brunch only. We were happy to have brunch. However, the brunch food that we received was pretty sub par, unfortunately. I do recommend Il Piatto for dinner though.

    Always excellent food, prepared with care and presented in beautiful fashion. The service is always extraordinary. The only drawback of this restaurant is when the door opens, a blast of cold air comes into the small space. It's tough in the winter. But worth it, because the food and service are outstanding!

    When receiving the bill, it came to my surprise that there is a 20% operational and kitchen fee applied BEFORE gratuity. Feels very shady and misleading. Increase your menu costs and do not surprise your customers!!!!
