"As always, it was great. The dish I usually have was not as good, but still enjoyed the meal.Our waitress, however, seems lost in space. Our order was messed up, plus it took forever to get refills of our iced tea. My husband finally turned around, grabbed the pitcher and refilled our own glasses."

Review 3 for Piatti - Carmel

Overall Rating 4.0 out of 5 (Very Good)
"Piatti's in Carmel is located in a relatively quite spot in the downtown area across for a park. If you've been to a Piatti's before you won't be disappointed with the food or wine list, as both are very good. Service was fine, but a little slow and not particularly attentive, however we were there on a very busy weekend which may have accounted for this."

Review 5 for Piatti - Carmel

Overall Rating 5.0 out of 5 (Outstanding)
"It was New Year's Eve and we couldn't have chosen a better place to spend it. Even though they were VERY busy, the staff was helpful and friendly. The food was absolutely cooked to perfection. I'm not a fan of rich, fussy food. Piatti serves simple, delicious food at it's best. They have not one, but two fireplaces and we managed to be seated at one. Very romantic. And the views of the Park across the street and the trees around Carmel just completed the experience."

Review 6 for Piatti - Carmel

Overall Rating 4.0 out of 5 (Very Good)
"Everything was great. Our only complaint was that we had reservations for four. When we arrived we told the host that were expecting another couple. When the other couple arrived they told him that they were with the Ege party.... but they were seated in the opposite side of the restaurant. We each waited 25 mins. or so for the 'other' to arrive. This should not have happened. Our friends finally searched our side of the restaurant and found us at our table for four. (The other couple said that it had happened before to them.... at PIATII!)"

Overall Rating 4.0 out of 5 (Very Good)
"My ONLY complaints:
1) I ordered a glass of wine with my meal and it took a long time to get it (I had ordered it while ordering my meal).
2) It took a long time for our dishes to get cleared.

Other than that, we had a great time and will continue to go there."

Review 10 for Piatti - Carmel

Overall Rating 4.0 out of 5 (Very Good)
"We used to go to Piatti's in Denver all the time. The bread and their signature oil/vinegar dip is simply the BEST! Our food was very good. Our server was good although not very attentive considering we came when it opened so it wasn't crowded. My husband did get a complimentary piece of tiramisu for his birthday which was really nice. We had booked the reservation with his birthday info."

Review 11 for Piatti - Carmel

Overall Rating 1.0 out of 5 (Poor)
"I remember Piatti from the early days and when I found out one was in Carmel, I thought it would be the perfect spot for dinner while we were visiting the area. Unfortunately we had such a mediocre expreience. The food was just average and the service was so poor. I don't remember the last time I had such bad service. Our waiter was in a terriblew mood from the moment he approached the table and it went downhill from there. I would never recommend this restaurant and am disappointed that our one evening in Carmel was spent there."
