I have been to this Piattini location a few times, and it is one of my favorite restaurants in Boston. It is not too chi chi, but you still get a great dinner in a cute atmosphere. I absolutely love the lobster ravioli. I have never had to wait for a table, and the wine list and wine pairings are great. I think the portion sizes are appropriate, as are the prices.\r

One warning, I have been to the other Piattini location on Stuart Street, and the food was not nearly as good. I was told that they have totally different chefs, and although the menu items are the same, the way they prepare them are quite different.
Pros: wine list, atmosphere
Cons: can be cold during winter months if you are seated at one of the front tables
