Piatanzi

"I mean, Italian food in abq is notoriously bad, this was no exception. Wet, soggy, severely overcooked pasta. Wasn’t even tossed in sauce. Just a wet runny mess. Chicken parm is a classic, this was obnoxiously bad. Waited so long for the food….I could’ve made pasta dough, extruded it, and cooked it properly in the same amount of time. Limit that menu size and make something that’s actually worth the price. MAMA MIA!"

"Always a good experience with great Italian food. Would be 5 star but they charge if you want more than one piece of bread and they tried to charge us for bringing in our own birthday cake. So as long as you don't want extra bread or bring your own cake, you'll probably enjoy this place."

"Delicious food and great staff. A very pleasant atmosphere. We had the house wine (10/10!), the steak salad and a salad with salmon on top. All was excellent. A great find!"

"Piatanzi didn’t disappoint and it was the perfect spot for our date. Crowd was mixed as far as demographics go. All ages were in attendance when we sat. Great wine and drink list. Menu was simple and easy to read. Fresh baked bread was brought out after our drinks with a little bowl of Olive oil. I felt the olive oil was plain and could’ve had a house made seasoning in it. Bread was already sliced, hot with a thin hard crust and soft moist center. Yummy. So we chose the calamari to start. Actually tasted most fresh out of any restaurant in ABQ. It wasn’t the typical circles you get from other places it was authentic. Lemon sauce drizzled on top with a light batter and good crunch. Moved onto a shrimp salad that had large shrimp fresh crisp green veggies. Had to end with the house made tiramisu. Dang! That was so good I was going to get another one. It was soft, creamy, with a good amount of sweetness and great tasting espresso soaked foundation. Our waitress was awesome and she made the experience better. Gave us our time and explained everything we asked. Personally the cost is worth it. Our dinner was around $60 with hot tea’s to drink. All in all this was a great place and we will be returning when we are in the area."

"Food was very good. My fiancee and I got two different pasta dishes. The portions were big and filling. They have a wide selections of drinks. The place is a pricey. The staff were very nice and attentive but not over attentive. They have a very good air conditioning system so bring a light jacket if you get cold easily."
