The vibe inside is nice and chilled, the service was brilliant from all the staff! Having seen this place on instagram we knew we had to come here. The cocktails were great and the food was excellent! We are already planning to come here again, the pizza has changed my mrs life !

What a delight to find this "hidden gem" in Guildford. Piattini has mastered the three most important things in a restaurant - exceptional food, exceptional service and great ambiance. They turn their off the beaten track location into an advantage by offering a dining experience and environment that is a cut above the norm. This is an Italian restaurant with a twist, which manages to cater for all tastes. I am particularly bowled over by the level of service and attention to detail - rare to find in this day and age. Very highly recommended, and we will be back!

This is a real gem of an Italian restaurant in Guildford and the first time I’ve been. Deep fried pizza dough is inspired, amazing asparagus and njuda bruscetta also delicious. I was skeptical about the courgette pizza but this was also really yummy and I would definitely recommend. Finally a shout to Alberto for his spicy margarita - I can definitely recommend one, even if you just want a drink. We’ll be going back!!

This is a little tucked away gem in Guildford. It sells the most delicious Italian tapas style food at a really affordable price. I had the mushroom anancici which was huge and super flavourful, along with a lovely goats cheese with focaccia They also generously gave us a free focaccia to start which was tasty. The service was also really good and the waiters were so polite. Would recommend!!

What a fabulous evening catching up with old friends to celebrate a special anniversary! We were so well looked after - from the amazing spicy margs (I’d recommend spice level 8) to the wonderful Italian tapas for starters, and then the amazing pizzas - all shared with our wine. The time flashed by with so many laughs! Thank you!
