BEST MUSSELS EVER! Alexx is a phenomenal host/server. Apple cider margarita was an unexpected delight. My new favorite restaurant. Already made plans and reservations to go back next week!

We live right off the Marietta Square but its been a minute since we’ve eaten here.
On Sunday afternoon during Chalkterfest, we were looking for a place to get a quick bite and a couple of beers.
Our favorite place to sit is at the bar and this bar is super cool and cozy. It’ll seat 8-10 people. Daisy was our bartender and took great care of us.
We love the cold Peroni on tap and their pizza was pretty good.
An older lady (maybe owner or manager) stopped by and asked how everything was. She was super sweet.
Great experience and we’ll have to come back and give some more love to this place!

Piastra has the BEST gluten free options of any Italian restaurant plus GF fried calamari - what a treat!
Try the Rigatoni Domenica - it’s amazing 🤩

Absolutely phenomenal experience...twice!
I first came to Piastra about three months ago with my girlfriend, and we were blown away. We’re both Italian but have several food allergies (mine is a nightshade allergy, and she can’t eat onions, shallots, or garlic). That usually makes dining out tricky, especially at Italian restaurants... but not here. The chef personally came out to discuss our needs, and even his mother came out to make sure everything was perfect. They crafted custom dishes just for us, and it honestly felt like we were having dinner in an Italian family’s home.
The food was top-notch, the service was warm and genuine, and the prices were more than fair. The wine selection was also fantastic.
We loved it so much that we came back last week with my girlfriend’s entire family, and once again, everyone was amazed. The homemade pasta was a huge hit, and my branzino was absolutely to die for. It’s rare to find a place that delivers this level of care, flavor, and hospitality.
Piastra is something truly special. Highly recommend!

It was a table of 4 and the atmosphere was personable and the staff was very knowledgeable of the menu. We had a variety of the menu from Chicken Marsala to Shrimp and Calamari also Gnocchi and Eggplant. The bread was outstanding also. I've owned family restaurants each seating over 75 or more in California for 24 years before retiring to Georgia in 2021. And one of the restaurants was El Buco De Italia with a friend Giovanni, and this restaurant Piastra was nice. The owner I believe was Betty was kind and paid our table a visit as she did others. Nice place if i'm in the area for another play at the Marietta Theater I will stop again. I Did notice a couple with a large dog came in to have dinner and was place not far from our table, I guess it is ok it we were just about to leave, it didn't look as if it was a service animal it may have been it was obedient and quiet? Overall 8.5 out of 10

I loved the veal marsala with the housemade pasta. I also really loved the caesar salad dressing. The wine list is great. Carly was an awesome server. The patio was perfect for people watching on the Square. Great all around.

Would not recommend the steak. Ordered medium rare and was cooked more rare, very tough, the steak knife had to saw through the cut. Mac n cheese was pretty bland and uninspired despite being topped with garnish.
Butternut squash ravioli had cubed squash that was still pretty firm, surprised it wasn’t at least a puree.

Lovely Italian restaurant with a warm family vibe with great service and delicious food. Great value for the money.
Pasta and salad and bread were delicious! Will return to try rest of the menu.
Highly recommend Fettuccine Alfredo!

This is a locally owned restaurant and they make you feel like family! We had the cesar and the caprese salads to start and for our entrees we had their risotto of the day and the lasagne. All of the dishes were phenomenal!! The wait staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful as well! 20/10

It’s just kind of awful. Slow service, mushy rolls and Melba toast, OK-ish lasagna and pretty good French fries. Hideous martinis, not even served on a proper glass. How this place rates 4 stars is baffling.

What a cute little restaurant in the square! Service was wonderful (Raven was our waitress and she was very knowledgeable and helpful). The owner or manager kept walking around checking on customers which was very important to me to see they care. Food was excellent as well. We will definitely be back!

My wife and I dined here for our anniversary last month. It was absolutely exquisite. We came around 5:30pm on a Sunday and were delighted to find the coveted window seat was available. It truly was a dream.
The food, ambiance, and service were all perfect, all for a very reasonable cost. Refreshingly, almost all the dishes were made with local ingredients. Many dishes were also creative, or, if more traditional, you could tell it was reminiscent of a ‘Nonna’s special recipe.’
Big shout out to MJ our server who was super knowledgable, friendly, accommodating etc. etc.
A final note: It was so impressive to see the owner walking around and even taking rolls out the oven. You can tell she has poured her heart and soul into this.
TL;DR Go visit!! Absolutely perfect spot for a date, although any occasion will do. Full of caring staff, creative dishes, and made with whole, local ingredients. This is not a chain as far as I know, so go support and keep Marietta square amazing!
