In Short – A festive atmosphere and heaping plates of the Carrabba's signature American-Italian classics draw a steady crowd of diners. Menu higlights include the signature asparagus appetizer, lightly breaded and pan-fried, topped with crab and lemon butter. Sample healthy grilled meats, baked sea bass with mango and avocado salsa, multi-layered lasagna Carrabba, stuffed shrimp and a variety of pizzas. Reasonably priced wine selections.

Wonderful Experience
by kmcwhorter
My husband and I dined at Piatto a few weeks ago and everything was amazing. It is a quaint restaurant with a wonderful atmosphere. We started out with their signature appetizer, Asparagus with crab meat and their calamari. Both were absolutely incredible. For the entree, my husband had the lamb which he fell in love with. It was tender and juicy and cooked to perfection. I had their Chicken Breast stuffed with Three Cheeses and Spinach, topped with Marsala Wine Sauce, and
Diced Roma Tomatoes, served with Fettuccini Alfredo. They offer valet parking so it was easy to get in and out. I would highly recommend Piatto!

nice place, not too expensive
by BlondHouston
location is in a very difficult place, having to loop round and around. Food is pretty good, appetizers were great, we ordered fish, so that was good as well. Overall definitely will recommend. and we would go again.
- Pros: nice Italian place
- Cons: not so much, other than parking and getting to it

Perfect for every occasion!
by tc749
I have been to Piatto twice now. Both times, it was fabulous. The wait staff is very much on the ball, the food is exemplary, and the atmosphere leaves nothing to be desired. All of these things come at a very affordable price for a fun, relaxing, Italian evening out on the town. It makes me feel like I am at one of my big family dinners - everyone talking, great music in the background, excellent wine to share, and delicious food to enjoy!

Below Average
by shinobi
I had dinner here w/ a friend last Tuesday. We had the asparagus speciali for our appetizer. It was very good. I enjoy anything that's fried, even asparagus. I had the lobster ravioli for my entree & thought it was OK, but not good. My friend had the veal picatta which was also just OK. I think both of the entrees lacked much flavor. I didn't enjoy the food, but the service was very good.
- Pros: asparagus speciali, service
- Cons: lobster ravioli, veal picatta

Perfect example of a well run establishment
by kdewhurst
Simply put, this is exactly the kind of restaurant my family and I enjoy going to on a regular basis. The food, personality and service we have enjoyed over the years is constant and at a high standard. If you dine out regularly, add this one to your most frequents. The end.
- Pros: Free Valet
