Piatti

We had not been there in a number of years and were not sure what to expect. We started with a bottle of the house brand Chardonnay and found it had a pleasant flavor and it was a fair price. (I actually started with a martini infused with thyme? That had a floating ring of red bell pepper, that should not have worked, but it did). The Mac n’cheese appetizer was not quite up to J’Alaxander, but pretty good. My wife and I split the steak that was perfectly cooked, with me liking the Gorgonzola topping, and my wife scraping it off. There was no split charge, and it was the perfect amount of food for us. The only big disappointment was the s’more desert that was advertised as made table side. It was graham crackers, a Hershey bar, and about 8 marshmallows on a cold stone, with a container of sterno. Do it yourself instead of table side. The service was good for a Monday night, but would have disappointed on a Friday. We would go happily go back with the knowledge we have from this visit, but table side s’mores really?

Tried this restaurant for the first time tonight and thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience.
The food was absolutely delicious as were the flavored teas. It was such a treat to enjoy some tasty Italian in a much more contemporary, modern style restaurant.
The service was impeccable. Not once did we need to ask for anything. Though the restaurant was incredibly busy, our appetizers, bread, meal, drinks, and check came with perfect timing and the waitress was very attentive.
I would definitely recommend this restaurant, for date night specifically. The ambiance does not necessarily lend itself to toddlers or a lot of children. :)

Stopped here on a slow Sunday. Hostess was MIA for a few minutes. Had to ask our waiter for a fourth menu and set of silverware twice, but service was good otherwise. My friends were very happy with their pizza and zucchini «tagliatelli.» I had the sweet potato encrusted trout, which was very good (and a generous portion at that) but I didn’t taste sweet potato at all. My husband had a meat sauce spaghetti that was just ok. His noodles were a little more cooked than I like and the sauce was nothing special.
My husband got a glass of the Piatti Reserve cab, which was surprisingly good. I mean, really good. Especially for $ 7.50.
The tiramisu was ok.
Nice patio on the rare cool night. Overall good experience for a chain Italian restaurant. Not authentic it by any means, but definitely a big step up from the Olive Garden.

Ate here today for the first time in years. It was on the average non-​authentic side, but I enjoyed it. We had to sit outside, or wait 30 min for a table. It was hot and there were flys. Our water was lukewarm and never got refilled. For these reasons I had to take some stars off. I had the spaghetti with meat sauce. It was nothing to write home about but hit the spot. The spaghetti itself tasted like what I could make from a box at home. Definitely not from scratch. The Caprese salad was ok too but again not made with freshly made mozzarella cheese or hothouse tomatoes or anything. Just average. Overall it was pricy and average but for some reason I’d still recommend it. It’s not bad it’s just not «wow» if that makes sense.

I was on a business trip and wanted a good place to get some Italian. This was one of the top recommended spots in the area I was. I might of gone a bit to casual which made me feel a little out of place since everyone was nicely dressed.
The place was very nice and even looked a bit elegant in the inside part but the outside section was a bit more laid back.
Food: the bread that they brought to the table was a bit hard which isn’t of my preference but it was a good starter. The waiter made some great suggestions when recommending their top pastas. I ended up getting the sausage pasta and it was delicious!
Service: the waiter was great at the beginning and was very attentive. This changed after a while since it got very busy and he wouldn’t check on the table very much.
Overall the experience was good and I would totally recommend this place!

Excellent dining experience. The spinach and ricotta ravioli is amazing. The garlic parmesan fries are great also. I will definitely be back.

It’s basically Olive Garden food with Macaroni Grill pricing. If you like homemade Italian, keep looking.

Great staff, very accommodating to a patron in a wheelchair, and nice food. Interesting cocktail selection. Wish I hadn’t driven so I could try more.
Only negative (and this was a small problem) was the salad I ordered was romaine hearts and it was on a tiny plate for how high they were piled. With a slightly different plating– would have been easier to eat. Still nice food though!

Came here with friends for dinner and what a great idea that was.
First of all, their bread and olive oil dipping sauce was amazing. It was baked fresh and had a great texture to it.
We ordered the calamari and I think it’s the best you will be able to find in a place like San Antonio with no ocean near by.
My friend ordered spinach ricotta ravioli and omg amazing! I wish I had ordered that!!! Creamy and delicious, and I’m not even much of a fan of pasta.
I ordered the gnocchi, just yum. Soft and not starchy like some can be, it tasted fresh.
I will definitely be back here with my picky-​eater husband!
Order the buratta! SO creamy and delicious on the complimentary bread.

Every time I have been to Piatii’s I really enjoy myself. The ravioli is where it is at! they make them in house and have been consistently good. They have a great wine list and have good bar tenders. The ambiance of restaurant is very nice, you can go dressed up or dressed down. The wait staff is well trained and make the experience very pleasant.

Had the spinach and ricotta stuffed ravioli. The lemon butter sauce was amazing. Wish they made a dish with shrimp tossed in it. No wait even on a Friday evening. Nice spot not to fancy not too casual.

Enjoyed a quick Ceasar salad with chicken at the bar while in San Antonio for the day. Salad was fresh and 5he chicken was tender. Got in and out in 20 minutes. Glad I stopped.

My friend and I went here for New Year’s Eve dinner. Food was delicious and server was attentive and friendly. Although it took a while just to serve us water but given that it’s a holiday, it’s quite understandable. I ordered the Chilean sea bass and my friend got the grilled lamb chops. Dessert was yummy too. Everything was great until we got food poisoning. So with that being said this place is a no-​no to us now. I regret paying so much for our meals just to get sick the next day.

Very good menu choices, especially for a large group (we had 7). The drink list was good and there was a decent selection of beer and wine. They offer half and full portions on entrees at lunch. The Bibb salad was delicious, as was the gnocchi. Everyone at our table enjoyed their meal.

I generally enjoy Piatti’s. I particularly like their Parmesan crusted chicken breast and I love their macaroni and cheese.
However, I did have an issue with their service. I am a college student without a car, so I use Postmates, a delivery service. I once ordered the macaroni and cheese from them and I only got plain macaroni with garlic (no white cheddar, no breadcrumbs), and they still charged me for it! Of course, who wants to eat garlic macaroni when you were expecting creamy macaroni and cheese? Very disappointing!

Momma mia! I love this sleek very cool successful business person hangout. When you walk in, you’d probably think it was a realtor luncheon or something. Men are all wearing suits and ties and women are dressed to kill.
Once you can get past all the beautiful people though, this place always gets me salivating. Practically everything I’ve ever tried here has ranged from good to outstanding. But I’ll try not to get ahead of myself. The wait times are reasonable even during the busier times I’ve come.
The wait staff has always been very knowledgeable and their recommendations usually showcase their familiarity with each dish. I have tried various chicken and shrimp plates and each dish is distinct, packed with a punch and all around EVERYTHING you’re missing out on when you choose to go to Olive Garden or Zio’s over this place.
They start you off with «classy» H20 from their glass bottles and hook you up with complimentary bread and olive oil with spices. This part of the experience is very familiar to you by now assuming you eat Italian food like most people. On the other hand, if you’ve never had the Charcuterie & Cheese Board, it is delicious. If you’ve never even heard of that before or know what it is, it’s all the more reason why you need to order it. The menu description does not do it justice. It would be like if you read that a Ferrari were a «red car». Not acceptable.
Moving onto the entrees, I’ve sampled quite a bit over the past few years and some of my favorites are the Farfalle which has sun dried tomatoes that are divine. The creamy sauce that comes with this dish puts your mouth at ease but the first bite into one of the sun dried tomatoes is like Emerald screaming «BAM» to your taste buds. I also really enjoyed the Rigatoni partially b/​c I’m biased and love rigatoni but mostly because the sausage, tomatoes and goat cheese are too harmonious to deny very often. Lastly, I remember really liking their Brussels sprouts as a side. Yeah, that’s right. I said it. And if you still think like your 7 year old self about how «gross» they are, this is another one you need to sample to believe.
All in all, this Italian spot is one of my favorites not only to people watch but more importantly to fully indulge my senses into the work they put into these dishes. The vibe is very nice although it can be just a tad bit stuffy/​pretentious depending on when you go and severs usually give great service. Thank you Piatti for being my favorite restaurant in the Quarry and for being on of the best Italian restaurants in SA.
P. S. I’m not sure why there are so many haters of this place…

My server, Jose, was awesome! The food n’ cocktails were delicious and excellent customer service!
I had to give 2 stars because the general manager (GM), Dan, was slamming plates over the countertop while yelling at my server in front of the customers! Everybody turned around to see what the commotion was. It took me by surprise how the GM was down-​right rude, disrespectful, hot-​headed and inappropriate towards his servers… I can’t imagine how he would treat people when customers are not around!
If there’s a problem, talk in private… not yell and slam plates during peak hours of dining! Somebody should counsel the GM… he came across as arrogant and rude. Disgusted by the whole scene… turnover rate is probably high there

Lunch with co-​workers. Had the Lobster Cannelloni and spinach salad. Cannelloni was creamy and plenty of lobster. (off course, very rich and was stuffed for lunch)
Th spinach salad with portobello mushrooms and fried string onions was awesome:)

Chicken Alfredo never disappointing. Always my choice got Italian when in San Antonio!
The atmosphere is so real as well, love the quarry!!!

I love Piatti’s. While i was in college I held birthday dinners here for myself and friends many, many times. The food is good and the atmosphere is wonderful.
Service at this Piatti’s is really wonderful. I’ve never had a problem with the waiters. They are attentive but not too pushy. Even though I have been coming here for many years I see the same waiters over and over. This tells me that Piatti’s must be a good place to work at. The employees seem happy so therefore the customers are happy.
Now the food. The meal starts with bread and olive oil, literally an Italian restaurant can be judged solely on these two essential things. And Piatti’s has the one of the best bread and olive oil combinations. The bread is thick and (usually) served warm. It is deliciously chewy and pairs well with the olive oil (which has herbs and balsamic vinegar). Thankfully you can buy their olive oil blend. It is truly delicious.
I think I’ve tried everything on the menu. Even the special menus. I remember a tomato dessert once that was inventive but really weird. But the other desserts, especially the chocolate cake is amazing! If you have time, get the s’mores. They bring a little fire and you roast your own s’mores at your table. It always causes everyone to ooh and ahh. All the other diners will look jealously at your table. Sometimes in the winter, I will come to Piatti’s just for an Americano and the s’mores. So delicious.
The pizzas are also very good. I like the Italian sausage and margherita. They are somewhat large so you can share them but they heat up nicely and also taste great cold. My favorite pasta is the Alfredo farfalle. It is a little rich so I usually get the smaller portion (which is plenty anyway). The gnocchi is also a great option as is the ravioli and seafood linguini (Fruta de mare). If you are not looking for pasta, I would get the pollo Marsala or pollo arrosto. Both are perfectly cooked and seasoned.
If you want a salad– the house salad is amazing. It has a ton of ingredients and is filling on its own. The lettuce is very fresh. My favorite salad is the spinach with portobello. You can ask them to add meat like chicken or salmon if you want a more filling meal.
If you come for lunch, you have to get the fries. These are my favorite fries of all time. They are thinly cut, seasoned (with herbs and pepper) and sprinkled with cheese. So delicious.
I will say this location is much more established than the Eilan location. The food tastes better here to me. Probably because it also has wonderful memories. The waiters seem more attentive and the customers are generally older than the ones at Eilan. So if you are looking for a nice, quiet dinner at Piatti’s I would go to the Quarry location and skip on Eilan.

Very nice place — upscale, trendy, yet comfortable. It seemed we were in the minority as far as first-​timers to this restaurant. It was a little loud, but the quality of service, drinks & food easily made that endurable.
They start you out with good bread and an amazing dipping sauce. Could have easily asked for more but didn’t want to fill up on it.
I got the Moscow mule, which was delicious. My husband got the cosmo noir because neither of us had heard of luxardo and wanted to try it. Also very delicious.
My husband got the seafood stew and was saying «umm» with every bite. The juice at the bottom of the dish is the sort you would stab the waiter with your fork if he tried to take it away before you finished sopping it up with your bread!
I decided to try something completely different and went with the fig pizza and I was not disappointed — it was a WOW!!! It was new, exciting, flavorful, and surprisingly not as sweet as I was worried it would be — a perfect summer menu item!
Would definitely recommend this place with one caution: you’ll have trouble deciding what to get because so many of the menu items are unique and sound delicious! We’ll look forward to returning here anytime we’re in the area!

I really adore Piatti’s. The menu displays exceptional flavor pairings, and the wine list is equally impressive. The service is consistently good. I consistently choose to take friends, as the overall quality of dining experience is superb.
I also highly recommend Piatti for events and large parties. If you make a reservation for an event, they will personalize the menus. Twice, I have met with their catering personnel and planned very elegant birthday dinners– I selected the menu, table set up, linen colors and flower arrangements. They also have a family style option, which offers a slightly lower price.

Amazing! Went there for our one year anniversary. Already making plans to go back. Loved everything about it.
Advice: Get the smores plate for the dessert! Way cool.
Great prices as well.

My fiancé and I usually go when it’s most packed so we tend to sit outside so we can enjoy a little bit of quietness.
Service– the best! Our servers have always been so attentive! Never rude!
Food– the complimentary bread and olive oil they give you is excellent. I’ve tried numerous of things here but I usually order the same thing. If you like calamari, order it! It’s so fresh! To the point that you can tell exactly what you’re eating! The little squids were kind of adorable…
I highly recommend their spinach ricotta ravioli! It is sooooooo good! I rarely finish my entire plate at restaurants and I sometimes do here! Oops!
Peach tea is really good!
My fiancé loves loves the Rigatoni with the sweet fennel sausage! It’s actually really good.
The best part is that it’s very affordable!

I thought I was going to have to break the bank to eat the quality of food and experience the ambiance of Piatti, but wow was I wrong! Piatti provided fantastic and attentive service and delicious creative entrees all at very reasonable prices.
In particular, I’d recommend their gnocchi with pork meatballs. They bring complementary ciabatta bread with flavored olive oil to the table. I could make a whole meal of this bread and olive oil. Their cocktails are the type you’d find at a speakeasy. For dessert, definitely order the s’mores – they give you all the fixings plus a little bowl of fire to cook with.
The staff at Piatti were extremely accommodating the second time I came here with a group of 18 for a birthday. They customized our menus to wish my friend a happy birthday and brought out a big sparkler on the plate of s’mores for dessert. They were equally attentive when I went with just one other person. I’ll definitely be back here.

Very good Italian restaurant that is conveniently located in the Quarry.
They have delicious vegetarian options! Appetizers: bruschetta, caprino forno (bake goat cheese crostini), and funghi griglia (grilled portobello msurhooms). They also have creative salads, a Margherita pizza, and pastas.
They also have good desserts and fancy, delicious cocktails!

the tagiatelle di zucchini is tdf and i haven’t found anything like it at another restaurant. the sauce is the perfect balance of tomato-​y and creamy and the zoodles are always on point. i wish i could replicate this at home! this dish is what will keep bringing me back to piatti no matter what!
but based on previous visits, i’m now afraid to try anything else on the menu. nothing else has been that great… and the salmon is horrendous. worse than what i can make at home [and i’ll be honest– i’m no chef!]. the default for the salmon is medium well which is really more like well done, but the main problem is that they don’t bother to ask how you’d like it cooked. ended up being dry and bland… ick.
the last couple of times i’ve been at piatti, it seems like it’s the go-​to birthday celebration place. we saw at least 5 tables get dessert with a giant sparkler-​like candle thing. the pyro in me would love to get one of those!
note: make a reservation for a friday night or weekend night or prepare to wait!

Yet another amazing experience at Piatti! 10 years ago my husband proposed to me at a corner table in this gorgeous restaurant and we’ve come back every year in our anniversary to celebrate. My husband puts in a request for the same table and they always honor the request and provide service that goes above and beyond. We’ve yet to have a bad experience, from the amazing food, awesome staff, and great atmosphere everything has always been prefect. We will continue to return every year for our anniversary.

I had a delightful experience at Piatti last evening. From the quiet, super polite server that ONLY eats SPAGHETTI, to the refreshing Moscow Mule, Perfect Ceasar Salad and SUPER Seafoody Fruta De Mare with the Piatti label Chardonnay. The only thing that could have made it better was sharing with someone special instead of just me and my book.
The Moscow Mule was refreshing, as stated, but could have been better with a little more lime and a copper mug. But, I know copper mugs cost a fortune, as a result people steal them and the stainless one served the beverage in about as close to an authentic way as you can without copper.
The Ceasar salad really was perfect. The Garlic-​Anchovy dressing was delightfully briney and with the wedge shaving of parmesan over the top, the dressing tossed croutons on the side of the romaine HEARTS (only) and the extra anchovy fillet to top it off.
The Piatti label Chardonnay pairs PERFECTLY with the garlicy briney flavors of the Fruta De Mare. The linguine has the right amount of bite left in it to combine well with the textures of the abundant clams, mussels, calamari, shrimp AND whitefish of this dish. Don’t be deterred by the lobster brodo being the «sauce» for this pasta dish, there is no lack of richness or flavor here!

We came in and were quoted 45mins to be seated, but it actually only took about 20 so it was great. The atmosphere here is great too not loud, but just right.
Our server greeted us right away and went over the menu. He was very attentive the entire night and we always had our drinks full.
I ordered the homemade Gnocchi with meat sauce and my fiancé ordered one seafood special that they had, but I cannot remember what it was.
My Gnocchi was incredible! I love gnocchi and this was by far the best I have ever had… it melted in my mouth and it was so flavorful! My fiancé ate every single bite and said it was all delicious too.
We then ordered the Crema Catalana and again this place knocks it out of the park because it was amazing. It was creamy, flavorful and very very rich!
I cannot wait to come back and try something new or get the gnocchi again ;)
