Drybar - San Antonio

Oh my word--I was a a cute little boutique just down the sidewalk and the associate said that if I didn't go to Piatti's I would be making a HUGE mistake. (I think she knew I could use a glass of Pinot!!) She was so on target--Piatti's is a charming restaurant--the cuneo salad is great--the seafood is wonderful!! I would never hae considered this to be a ""mall"" restaurant, but The Quarry is really special. You can tell there is a group of regulars, but I didn't feel like an outsider. I rejuvenated and went back to that little boutique--Apricot something--and spent aton of money on her cute items. Pros: LOCATION AND NICE PATIO Cons: CAN'T THINK OF ANY EXCEPT PARKING AT QUARRY TRICKY more

I love Piatti. The food is fresh, delicious and creative. The service is wonderful and the clientle is nice to be around. No kids, no noisy families...\r \r Mostly a professional, upper crust crowd.\r \r Nice wine and beer choices. Pros: fresh, delicious food that is worth the slight cost premium. Cons: Nothing! more

After an extremely stressful day, walking into Piatti was an immediate turn around of my husband and I moods. From the moment we walked into the door, we could see that it was a very busy evening. The hostess immediately made eye contact and with a smile told us there would be a 15 minute wait. We decided to go to the bar as we waited and was supprisingly help quickly. After only waiting 10 minutes, a waiter informed us that our table was ready, grab our drinks, and guided us to our table. From there on we were confused to whom was our actual waiter but had the best dinner we've had in such a long time. As we left, the waiter opened the door and thanked us again. We can't wait to come back. Thank you Piatti for making our day better!! Pros: Beautiful crowd Cons: Bathrooms could be more welcoming more

I'm a caesar snob - I admit it. not really, though I do like my caesars crisp, tangy, and just right. I was on such a mission last night and decided I'd give Piatti a try. They are not to far away and I like the Rivermark. Not only was my salad great but the warm bread and dipping oil is hard to beat. I only wish that their drink list was a litllemore ""common folk"" friendly but that's my only omplaint. more

I went for lunch one day and the hostess left me standing there for 15 minutes. She never came back to ask me to wait for a table or offer another option. She just forgot about us. I then asked another person and he also left us standing there and the other guests entering the restaurant. Finally, the orginigal hostess comes back to inform me that they had no tables. She did not offer us to wait or give us a waiting time. She did not apologize for the wait she just stated there were no tables. Definitely not a welcoming experience. We left and ate at J. Alexander's (same area) and received great service. Pros: Nice Area Cons: Bad Service more

This is the best Italian in San Antonio. It was cooked fresh, the ingredients were excellent and I cant wait to go back. I am new to the city from Houston were there are so many great Italian places and put this one up there with all of them. more

We've been recommended a lot of ""great"" Italian places in SA, all of which have been dissapointing. We found this one in the Quarry and love it. The food is a bit pricey, but it is of high quality. I've actually never had anything here that has been less than great. The desserts are wondeful too. On a nice day the patio is a fun place to sit and people watch. more

I love the outside tables. I can't think of another place where you can sit outside and not have to hear the street noise. Food is generally good, but try the mussels in the lobster sause, when it is on it is fantastic. Perhaps that is the one problem that I have with this restaurant, it is a bit inconsistent. We either have a bit of blah food or inattentive wait staff. When it all comes together, outside on a balmy day, wine in hand, a ton of mussels I'm in heaven. Pros: quite outdoor seating, plenty of parking, bread Cons: inconsistent more

Don't go if you're looking to grab a slice and a coke before the movie. Go if you want to relax, savor the moment, experience wonderful cuisine served with percision and perfection. The wine list runs the gamut. The top shelf selection is also very impressive. This cozy joint won't break the budget, but will break your heart when you're significant other thanks you ( and thanks you and thanks you) Pros: service, chow, ambiance Cons: not many more

What a place to take a date or enjoy a casual yet classy meal with friends and family. I believe Piatti is somewhat of a hidden secret in San Antonio. They have an eclectic cuisine that encompasses traditional Italian entrees with various seafood meals that will knock your socks off and have you asking for more. I highly recommend the goat cheese with crackers along with some wine to start off with. My favorite entrée thus far has been the special, which was grilled tuna. more

Refreshing to find an Italian restaurant that does not fit the Macaroni Grill, Olive Garden, etc. mold. Very fresh food, fabulous Ceasars Salad. Good wine list. more

every visit to piatti has been a pleasurable experience. the wait staff is very attentive and the food has always been excellent. the vine selection is also very good. more
