Piattino: A Neighborhood Bistro

My favorite Italian bistro. Very interesting items. Not your basic nj gravy italian.

The staff was very attentive to the patrons and the food was excellent!

I liked my visit to Piattino. It has a convenient location and makes great use of it. The atmosphere is compact and alive. There is a perfect mix between authenticity and modernization. The menu is a bit short in my opinion but from the select choices there is definitely a meal for everyone. My personal choice is the steak frites that were paired with a cup of fries. Both were seasoned in a way that gave definition to the meal. The service was impeccable as the kind young man that was our waiter continually checked in on us and was atentive to our requests. Refils were consistently offered and when it was time to pay the check, he kindly walked us through the point redemption service. Talk about a great trip with some distant relatives!

Goof for wine and upscale pizza. Nice salad with salmon.

Unfortunately I haven’t had the best experiences with the food at Piattino in Mendham. Many dishes have an unnecessary overwhelming grill sear, including the fried mozzarella. The meatballs are often undercooked in the center. Dishes frequently including unexpected spices creating an atypical flavor profile. Overall, I generally do not recommend Piattino.
