We had 6:30 reservations last weekend and had an absolutely terrible experience! Couldn’t find the waiter, waited almost an hour and a half for our order. Our salads arrived same time as the entrees. The friend who dined with us never even got his soup. To top it off, the food arrived cold and tasteless. Never again! Too many other options!

We were in this amazing place . Loved the minimalist decoration, the location and most important the very good costumer service they have. The food was a perfect mixture of flavors that definitively made us come back for more. We have been more than once and every time trying something new. Super recommendable.

Completely disappointing visit. My husband and I have been to this restaurant numerous times and always enjoyed it. I went with my friends yesterday and it was a total let down. There were about 4 tables in the entire restaurant and yet our server was MIA most of the night. When we ordered our entrees she offered the choice of soup or salad to one of us, the other two just assumed we didn't get anything since we ordered the chef special. Three salads arrived at the table, altho we weren't asked what dressing we wanted. Or if we'd prefer soup but our server never showed up so we ate the salads.

I don’t know if the person who complained about the lack of server attention came to this restaurant. We are just finishing our meal and I can’t fathom writing a review anywhere similar to that one. The server felt like it was only assigned to our table, even though she was taking care of 5 groups who were dining outside. The food was delicious, wife had the shrimp risotto, I had the lasagna, kids had pizza. Service, ambience and good 5/5. Try it and you’ll be back.

Loved this restaurant. I've been in this area for about 4 months and this is my favorite. We started with the muscles as an appetizer. They were cooked to perfection and the bread served with it made the dish sing. I had the lasagna which I very seldom order because it could never be as good as my mom's. Sorry mom, this was the best. My aunt had the chicken parm and there were no leftovers. Matt, our server was on top of everything. He was pleasant, fun and always had a smile. We will be back.

We were recently returned to Piatto Bravo after an unusually disappointing visit because we felt that the restaurant deserved another try after an "off" night. We are glad to have returned. On both the off night and our most recent visit, the table service was stellar. As a place for Italian comfort food, the Caesar salad, pizzas, and deserts were all quite good. The menu has a nice wine list with a good selection of moderately priced wines.
One of the partners made several visits to our table and told us of his storied career as a restaurant designer and founder of a nearby Wellington Restaurant

We ate at Piatta Bravo last year and enjoyed it but just had our first dinner there this year and it was really delicious. The Caesar salad was super tasty, the bread (which was always good) was still good and I had the lamb rack (a new addition) with risotto and that was really awesome too, lamb was great but risotto was interspersed with tasty mushrooms and was not at all stodgy. They seem to have expanded their outdoor seating too which is great for the COVID-averse.

Nice evening dinner on the patio. This restaurant is in a shopping center with plenty of free parking.
Food: pasta dishes were on point. Tiramisu slice could be larger.
Ambiance: ok, more decorative lights outside would be nice. Towards the end of evening, bitten by mosquitoes.
Service: could be better. Server was pleasant, but lacked attention to detail. Water glasses never refilled once. The chef, owner came out to greet us to explain some of his service challenges for the evening.
Overall, a nice place for authentic Italian cuisine.

I really appreciate that they stand behind their business. I ordered through Delivery Dudes- (don't trust them) and they totally messed up and blamed the restaurant when they messed up. I called the restaurant and they made it right which is way more than Delivery Dudes was willing to do! Delivery Dudes did not help me out at all when they didn't delivery the order. I called Piatto Bravo and let them know what was going on and they got me the missing pizzas and calamari hot and fresh. That means a lot in my book! Thank you!

Stopped in to try the place for qn event and was I suprised... Amazing food, great staff and wonderful dinner music playing in the background. Meatballs AMazing, just right penne Ala Vodka and Ravioli short rib. just delicious!
finished with a Blueberry bread pudding Sorry gone before I could get a pic!
Ask for the Manager Jose and ask him for his favorite choice of the evening. He won't steer you in the wrong direction. Just heavenly and unexpected. Full bar and inside and outside seating.

DO NOT COME HERE.
Came here a few weeks ago, the food was ok, outdoor ambiance was nice.
Returned here last night, 11/21/21, and sat indoors. The room was dark, and my chicken parmigiana panini tasted funny, but I convinced myself to eat just half.
I ordered a tiramisu and my wife a bread pudding. The desserts honestly took about 30 minutes to come out.
Today, I went to heat up my left over chicken parm panini, and I noticed that it was COMPLETELY raw. I am mortified, still can't believe it.
Never returning here.

The food was pretty good, but didn’t live up to the aspirations of the menu. The menu itself is well thought out and intentional; however, the execution was lacking in detail.
There was a roaming guitar player, who was horribly out of tune. Please, don’t bring him back.
The Negroni was not well received, and the wine list was pricey for the offerings, but not out of the realm of normal for Wellington.
We started with the coconut calamari, which was hard to take in with all of the competing flavors considering it was served with arrabbiata and lemon as well as a coconut milk creme.

So great!
Went for the first time for a quick bite, we got there right at opening and Nelson, our server, made us feel welcome immediately. He recommended drinks, the delicious garlic bread, and some gnocchi.
We ended up having the Chicken Parmesan, Chicken Picatta and some sides of house made Fettuccini Alfredo. Once we finished the garlic bread we got the extra complimentary bread that was still amazing.
Our visit was so good, I went back the next week with my friend from out of town and tried the Short Rib Ravioli- it was AMAZING! It is my new favorite. Of course we had Nelson again and

My first time dining here was for my birthday with a large party. We had such a great time I came back a week later. I am usually somewhat conservative when rating restaurants, but I really can’t find anything I don’t like here. The service is fast and friendly. Jeanie is a doll! Their cucumber martini is the best I have ever had! All the drinks are strong and made with fresh ingredients mixed to perfection. I have tried numerous entrees and love them all; standouts are definitely the short rib ravioli and chicken piccata. Presentation is beautiful. All their pastas are made in house and their

Five star is rare but this place was right there!
Food was a solid 5, experience (GM and owner stopped by to ask how everything is), service was prompt and on time.
A clean place in a shopping plaza, but with an Italian air from the entrance to the forno (wood burning oven).
I started with a fresh mozzarella caprese, priced at $14. Cheese was fresh, tomatoes as well and the pesto genovese gave it a great touch.
For main course I could not resist to have my favorite osso bucco, which came with polenta and a nice sauce, all priced at $34.
Peroni was mandatory being at an Italian place, and of course

I like this restaurant’s ambience: the indoor is spacious and has a modern, yet warm, décor; the outdoor patio has nice furniture and overlooks both a bocce and a chess field along with a fountain, whose water noise makes you think you’re further away from the (busy) road than you actually are.

From all the reviews, I had quite high expectations on this place. Food wise, not bad. Service, tons of room for improvement.
Service could be a mixture of things to buy some grace for the restaurant. Only one waiter working, granted it was midweek. He was definitely not the most helpful or attentive. I ordered a HH drink at 6 noting it's BOGO and told him I'll grab the second one before 6:30 (end of HH). For 30 minutes, I didn't see him again at my table. He walked by several times but made sure to not make eye contact. My food came out before my second drink! Note, I had an

Very nice place with large open terrace to have dinner. The owner was very hospitable and chef Jose was kind enough to come to ask if everything was ok with the dishes. The staff, from the hostess to the server, all of them were really warm. The house Merlot, the carpaccio, the lamb ribs and the salmon, 5⭐️ to all.

I am going to try and understand the four stars this place has.
We showed up Friday night on 05/28/2020 around 8:30 pm. They had a nice ambiance as there was a person singing playing guitar so we sat outside. I noticed there was no one at the bar and had less than five tables on the inside.
Sofia initially started out attentive, as we ordered our drinks and Caprese. As the order went in, she never came back to the table until we were almost completely done with our Caprese. How was the Caprese you might ask? Super small for the price, mozzarella was soggy, they apparently were rationing out

Friend of mine found this place on Yelp and wanted to check it out. After also checking Yelp we decided to come. We're glad we did. The place was a tad busy for the live music and we didn't get the option to sit outside for the music so that was a bummer. Did have a few drinks and some good food. The strawberry mojitos are AMAZING and they'll sneak up on you. We were more excited for the pizza, but ended up liking the pasta more. Definitely recommend for people to come and share dishes so you can try different things. Service was a bit slow, but we luckily were distracted by conversation

While eating at another restaurant in the area we saw Piatto Bravo was very crowded so we decided to try it. The night we were there, the restaurant had maybe 3 tables occupied.
The waitress was very sweet but not attentive. We had to ask multiple times for bread and our check at the end of the meal.
She gave us recommendations for appetizers which were the coconut calamari and the meatballs. Both came out within seconds of ordering them which tells me they were probably microwaved or heated up quickly. No one at the table enjoyed either.
For our meals the food was average... the chicken parmigiana

We came here one night after having our new puppy for about a week. I called and asked if they were pet friendly and they said yes they had outside seating.
I wanted to keep it short and sweet and get a glass of Vino and a flatbread just to see how the pup would do. Well they changed up their whole menu.
Not a flatbread to be seen. What I love about their new menu is instead of having a bunch of small plates, they now have bigger plates that is more than enough food for most people. So since the dog was acting fine and they had no flatbreads we both ordered dinner.
