Piattino Neighborhood Bistro - Mendham

“Reason I give this place 5 stars is because the woman/manager with the glasses is excellent. The food is good and the service is good but she excels at her job. She’s always on the move, whether it’s checking to make sure everyone is happy, waiting tables or dealing with the customers. I think she does an amazing job. So 5 stars because of her. Food wise the place is solid.”

“Loved the experience!! The service, attention to details and customer needs is outstanding. The cocktails are freshly made and not that sugary. The food is to die for crispy carrots risotto ball, chicken wings, vegetarian pasta, chicken Parm everything made fresh and delicious. Pastas were delicious too.”

“Seven years ago this place was awesome! The portions were large and everything very tasty . In recent years it seems to have slowly gone down and a few nights ago the portion of broccoli cavatelli was so small, lukewarm, extremely disappointing…. will not be returning …. and sad about that.”

“Quite simply, awful. There was no professional manager present to oversee the restaurant. In my online reservation I requested a booth for our party of 4, plus I called 1 day prior to confirm the booth - the response: "Of course." Upon arrival the young greeter said there were no booths - we saw them seat a couple in the last booth as we were waiting. He was unapologetic and indifferent. After being seated for ten minutes we had to request water. Our salad was poorly dressed and was supposed to come with candied walnuts - they were omitted from the salad. The pasta vongole was over cooked and mushy - angel hair pasta must be watched carefully. The portions were ridiculously small. My wife had the same dish one month earlier and the pasta was plentiful and linguine-like. We would have called these problems to the staff's attention, but nobody ever inquired how everything was. The cocktails and wine were fine.”

“The atmosphere was pleasant, and I appreciated the industrial decor. I ordered the seafood pasta, which unfortunately lacked flavor and needed additional salt and cheese to make it more enjoyable. I was also disappointed to find something unpleasant under the cheese lid, which was very off-putting. My partner ordered the pasta with sausage and broccoli rabe, but the dish was more like a soup and felt lacking in substance—not enough food for a meal. Service could have been better, especially considering the restaurant was not busy and there were many open tables. It took around 10 minutes for the server to bring cheese and check in with us. We also never received water refills during our meal. Overall, we left feeling disappointed with both the food and the service.”
