Services
Piatto first opened its doors in 1989 on the ground floor of an old-style house on Dundas Street West in Erindale Village. It was the second business venture for long-time friends and young restaurateurs, Tom Skrela and the late Sandro Julita. Their first venture was the historic Cherry Hill House, which opened in Mississauga in 1985.

In addition to our regular menus, Piatto offers seasonal prix fixe tasting menus as well as our highly anticipated mushroom menu in April.

One of the best dining experience I have eve had. I went there with my husband on our marriage anniversary today. The food is way too good. If you have the appetite for good food please go there and enjoy. The service, the food quality, the ambiance everything is enjoyable I swear. Not to forget the awesome dessert vanilla panna cotta with raspberries, tastes delicious, I could eat 50 of those without any hitch. Highly satisfied. Price wise it’s expensive but worth every penny.

My husband and I came in for a dinner to celebrate both our birthdays.
Appetizers
-Fresh raspberry point oysters
-Seared beef carpaccio
No complaints about the apps, I wish there was more variety but for what it was, it was good.
Main course
-Veal chop with mushrooms, seasonal veg
-Bison ribeye with a berry sauce and seasonal veg
My veal chop was overcooked (I ordered medium rare and it was well done), the veg were veg, but I will say they were perfectly cooked.
The bison was done to perfection, the sauce complimented it perfectly.
We got a complimentary creme brulee for our birthday but it was

I came here lunch on a Monday. I had their shrimp sautéed with oyster mushrooms, sambuca & cream for appetizer. The dish was quite rich and i used to bread to finish up the sauce. For the main, i ordered the prime rib, it came out medium rare and quite tasty. For the dessert, I had the creme brulee, which is also good. Overall, the lunch was enjoyable.

Had our final visit tonight due to being asked/told to leave to free up a table for other patrons. Have never had that happen anywhere else. Very insulting, especially since we were celebrating two birthdays among four of us, so ruined the evening for all of us. And we had spent fairly substantially. We have been long term patrons and always thought they treated you very well, wait staff have been good and food excellent. Not tonight. There are lots of good restaurant options out there so will go elsewhere in the future, as will the other couple. So, four permanent deletions to long term customers

Fine Italian dining in Mississauga. Great atmosphere. Great food. Friendly staff. Rumor has it that this place will be closing down in a year and they're not sure whether they will reopen. Due to that I highly recommend dining here while they are still around because once they're gone, you'll never get to experience everything that is piatto bistro.

An amazing place where time seems to stop. The food was as authentic Italian as it gets. The old style architecture made the place seem mesmerizing.
I went there on a date with my girlfriend on a Friday evening and yet it didn't seem crowded. The place was a bit difficult to find due to the construction right next to it. But once there I had no complains.
We ordered Calamari, shrimp risotto , mango cheesecake and an ice cream thing (with a difficult name) . Everything was delicious. Our server Greg was really polite and helpful.
The ambience was rustic and quiet. The place is meant

I was skeptical coming here because I thought it would be too upscale but everyone makes you feel right at home. The service was exceptional from the moment we walked into the restaurant, these guys know how to do it right. The host even hung up our coats. The food was also excellent. We shared the caprese salad and lobster and fish cakes. Both very good. My mom and sister had the fettuccine with lobster and brandy sauce. The portion was very big and there was so much lobster meat. I had the chicken with almonds and amaretto cream. The flavours were unique and worked really well with each

My family and I celebrated New Year's eve at this restaurant dining on their 5 course special dinner. It was my first time there, though my parents frequent the restaurant.
First impressions, its got kind of an old school feel with a less than modern looking interior. Not a bad thing, just different from the restaurants that I usually frequent. I suppose they noticed that when my boyfriend and I walked in. The all male serving staff sort of gawked for awhile rather than helping us.
The food was quite good, with the bison main course and panna cotta dessert being the yummiest.
I would suggest

I'm a little biased because I've been going here since I was a kid and know most of the people that work there by name (and vice versa) but I have to say the quality is always good, the dishes are simple but delicious, and MAKE SURE you get the chocolate pate. great for a first date, a tenth date, a birthday, an anniversary...

When I looked for a nice restaurant to have dinner with my family celebrating my daughter's birthday I didn't know that this place will be over and above our expectations.. and I regret that I haven't been to this place before...
From layout, to lighting, music everything is great, then came the food... so delicious and fresh, excellent quality, and on top of all is the service, very warm, professional and courteous.
Definitely this place deserves to be the best in Mississauga.

I found this restaurant by chance and have been back 3 times Based on the sole fact that the customer service here is fantastic! They remember who I am each time I come what my wine preference is and we always leave with a little piece of chocolate. It's the little things. **Also, they make a great seafood linguini!

I consider this more of a "special occasion" place in Mississauga. The staff are really wonderful - exceptional service, and owner Tom treats guests like royalty. Food is always executed beautifully, and reflects the Italian background and the chef's Spanish roots.
They have a delicious salad I always order - I think it has pear and goat cheese? They have a good wine selection as well. There is a blackboard daily special as well, and they're always great.
I would definitely recommend it for a nice cozy romantic dinner, a spot to entertain some clients, or to take your hard-to

I wanted to take 2 friends out to dinner at a nice place they would love - they picked thier local favorite, Piatto. A nice mid-sized upscale dining experience in Mississauga.
The dishes were grounded in Italian and Spanish roots, with some interesting variations; nothing too crazy as the highlight seemed to be 'mushroom week'; apparently the staff is quited involved in the local shroom foraging.
Quality of the food to price was good, fresh veal scallopini with morels came in under 30, my buddy had the mushroom-centric prix fixe, which was stellar from end to end -they even had a semi
