Piattino: A Neighborhood Bistro

Stopped in for a business dinner during the first week of December 2025. The place wasn't too crowded on a Tuesday evening. We had meatballs, margarita pizza, bread, octopus, and mozzarella balls for appetizers. Very typical Italian food, all tasted as expected. Service was decent. Atmosphere was nice with elegant touches. Overall good experience.

We recently hosted a Harvard Club of New Jersey event at Piattino, and it could not have gone better. From the start, the team was incredibly accommodating and made the planning process seamless. The food was absolutely delicious, the service attentive and professional, and the atmosphere of the space created the perfect backdrop for our gathering. A special thank-you to Nellie, who took such great care of us throughout the evening. Her attention to detail and warm hospitality truly made the event feel effortless. Everyone who attended had a wonderful time, and we’re so grateful to the whole team at Piattino for helping us create such a memorable night. Highly recommend for both private events and an excellent dining experience.

I found that it tasted more like tomato soup, but the croutons added a nice touch. Roasted Salmon Salad - I couldn't really figure out how to feel about this salad. The strawberries and salmon are two flavors that sho

This is our go-to Italian place around town. Food is always fresh and delicious. Priced very reasonably. Our kids love the kids pizza and pasta very much! Spacious dining room and never had issue getting a table!

Great Italian restaurant opposite the train station. Nice menu with a good mix of dishes. Street parking can be rough but there are municipal lots/garages within a few block walk.
