Editorial Review for Enoteca Piattini – by Fred Schlatter
In Short
The corner entrance opens into two ample rooms--the first housing the copper-topped wine bar, the second a fireplace and plentiful seating. Soft Italian crooning, rustic tiles and candlelight set a romantic vibe. Wine-friendly appetizers, like crispy calamari, are a good start to small plate entrees. Pasta choices include pappardelle with prosciutto, mushrooms and cream, and mini lamb chops served over spinach, or sliced steak with red wine reduction are popular meat options.

The waitors are hot. they are super nice here, gave us free shots! The food is awesome, just like my roommate's Italian grandmother makes.
Pros: Authentic italian, delicious!

Wine list is pretty large and fairly impressive. I must admit that I have not eaten food here, so can't say how it tastes, but it seems to be reasonably priced. My only negative is that being an enoteca they don't have cheese plates. On being asked, they said no, but then the waiter showed up, moment later, with a haphazardly put together chesse plate. It had 2 cheeses and olives. The two cheeses were average, but what I found weird was the fact that he didn't even ask us before getting the cheese plate. I would have liked to know what was in the cheese plate, if the cheeses went with our wine, etc. Also, just two kind of cheeses in a plate, that is not going to cut it, if you are going to taste a variety of wines. Sort of disappointing. But, place is worth trying and I'll go there again, just won't order cheese, till they have a menu for their cheese offerings. So, I know what I'm ordering.
