Piatto Bravo

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.

It’s a pretty restaurant although some of the tables are so close you’re practically sitting on top of the people next to you. The rice balls were good. No dressing on the Cesar. It got the chicken piccata because you can’t ask for no walnuts on the other dishes. The piccata was gross. Like boiled chicken in a sauce that kinda tasted like lemon oil water. I didn’t eat it. Waitress didn’t come back until my boyfriend was done eating. His chicken Parma was good but pasta sauce lacked flavor. Almost tasted like tomato paste out of a can with a little water added. You’d think the waitress would have noticed that I didn’t eat my food. Tried 1 bite and couldn’t continue. We won’t be back.

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. We normally go there for lunch or HH (when they offer ALL drinks, including liquors, at half price) and like to sit at the bar so that we can also watch some sports events. Last time the chef even went extra miles and contacted Xfinity to activate a channel’s subscription just for us, so that we could see the Europeans Championship!!! Lately most of the bartenders seem not to be very skilled, but many of them apparently wear more than one hat: considering the difficulties that restaurants are running into due to the current pandemic, I don’t feel I should jump into conclusions and complain about that part. Most of the times we were there, the place was almost empty and would get busier for dinner, above all on Fridays when they have live music. I also see that now the restaurant’s hours have been reduced. I really hope it’s just a temporary situation because of the combination of low season and pandemic: the food is good, has always tasted fresh and its presentations are almost like the ones of upscale restaurant. It is not 100% Italian but very close to it, maybe because one of the Managers knows the Italian cuisine very well and is striving to replicate it as good as possible, at very reasonable prices for the area. And both he and the chef are constantly interacting with all the customers to make sure that everything is up to their expectations. In my opinion Piatto Bravo is definitely the best Italian style restaurant in this area for quality/price!

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. For mains, we had the short rib papardelle and the chicken linguine. Both were “ok” - save for the fact that the linguine came out made with spaghetti, and the papardelle had a few loose penne noodles in it. Presentation, on the other hand was really beautiful and well executed. Perhaps the kitchen had an off night. Our server was well prepared with suggestions, but didn’t inform us that we were being charged for water. Not sure if we’ll be back. Perhaps on a night when other places are busy. The price was steep for what we received.

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 sauces really make you feel like you are eating at a restaurant in Italy. The flavors are so authentic. The chef comes to the table and makes you feel like family. I can’t say enough about Piatto Bravo. It has become my favorite place to eat in Wellington. You won’t be disappointed.

Honestly the best experience I’ve had at any restaurant. First, Jeannie is extremely kind, caring, and attentive. She helped my sister and provided personal care. Also, the manager was very sweet and caring with us as well. The food is amazing. An all around perfect dinner. If you want to feel at home and want great food, this is your place, sincerely! We are 100% coming again.

This place has to be one of the strangest places we’ve ever been to. My Wife & I were going here pretty much every weekend even though their wine list is not good and their food is not the greatest. However, they have a great atmosphere and very friendly staff so we didn’t mind too much. Our most recent visit they looked us straight in the face and said, “we ran out of pizza dough,” after we had ordered pizza. Then they said, “well there was a big to-go order.” No manager came to say anything and nothing was done to make us feel appreciated at all. So, we left and got our pizza next door. If I was the owner I would have ran to the store and bought more dough as I realized we were running low!! We are unlikely to return here being that there is so much potential but it doesn’t look like they’re making any efforts to bring it to that next level. It’s sad because it can be such a fun place. Two golden rules for Italian Restaurants, have good wine and don’t run out of pizza dough. Unfortunately at this time they aren’t following these rules.

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.
