Ristorante Piatto — Restaurant in East Suffolk

I just stopped here for a take away and to say I’m disappointed is an understatement. I ordered Gambretti con Cozze and a small cheesy garlic bread. I received a very thin pizza base with smear of cheese and garlic and a dish that vaguely resembled Spaghetti Bolognaise which wasn’t what I ordered. I rang the restaurant to discuss and to be fair the girl on the counter held her hands up and apologised offered to set the order right if I drove the 20mins back and probably waited another half hour for it to be cooked again. I decided to just stick with what I had. I really wished I hadn’t bothered, the spaghetti was cooked ok, maybe a tad overdone but the sauce was dire cheap mince, no seasoning, tasted incredibly bland and dry. Both my parents were Italian and my mother would have been embarrassed to serve up such a dish. I truly struggle to see how this could have been thrown together in half an hour I doubt it took more than 10-15 mins tops. I’ve experienced lots of Italian food this offering was more like...

For me wife and I, this is our go-to restaurant when we eat out. The food is excellent, the service is impeccable, and the atmosphere is incredible.

To expand on this. The restaurant is small, you should know this going in, but that only adds to the Italian feel. It reminds me of the small restaurants I ate at during my trips to Venice.

Everything from the decoations to the music create the ambiance of Italy.

The staff are always friendly and helpful. They are attentive without being hovering, and you NEVER feel rushed or pressured to eay, pay and leave.

On top of this, the menu is incredibly varied and offers something for everybody, making it a great choice for either a romantic meal for two or a fun night out with friends.

I cannot speak highly enough of Restorante Piatto, and always leave feeling full, happy and looking forward to the next...

We had a superb dinner at Ristorante Piatto, I loved everything about it. The restaurant felt really cosy, warm and traditional with a view of the kitchen at the back which was nice. It was full when we arrived so booking is probably a good idea.

The menu was really authentic, we tried the Antipasti Misti Sharing Platter to start and Garlic Bread with Cheese and Mushroom as a side. For mains we had the Piatto Special pizza and the Griglatta di Pesce seafood platter, consisting of mussels, king prawns and tilapia, which tasted really fresh.

To finish we had ice cream sundaes and an Italian liqueur coffee, both of which were lovely. The waiting staff were really friendly and accommodating, with rosemary breadsticks provided on the table as an extra touch.

We will...
