I've eaten here in the past and was relatively pleased at the food and service- this time the place failed in a number of categories. Let's start with the annoying maitre d'. We needed to change our reservation at the last minute, and given the fact that the place was never more than half-occupied throughout our meal, that shouldn't have... More

Lovely atmosphere, nice bar, good Italian food. I recommend the mozzarella/tomato salad. Hand made mozzarella, best I have ever had, and I have had a lot! The beet salad was also quite nice. I thought that the mushroom pasta dish was a little heavy on the oil, but my husband loved it. The pasta itself was thin and perfectly cooked.

Tre Piani has 3 floors and 9 lives. When it first opened it was aiming for California Novelle, big bowls.. with small dollops of fresh pasta, and reductions used as "sauce".. a fusion of fresh, french and italian. It really didn't work. Then the manager decided to turn to his Italian roots and hire a new chef, who knew classic... More

Fabulous fried calamari. Had a baby kale salad, which was a special, that had a creamy dressing that was delicious. We both loved our entrees, too. Restaurant is beautifully decorated and comfortable.

The overall experience at this restaurnat has fallen since my last visit 5+ years ago. Service was ok but unpolished. Our waitress came back to our table during the meal with a strong sense of cigarette smoke about her - not appetizing. Food was... mediocre. Fried calamari appetizer was the highlight but came with only a tartar sauce. A (medicore)... More

We just love it here. Giancarlo the Maitre d is amazing and the ambiance, food, wine and service never miss. The chef/owner prides himself on sourcing local food for the very large Italian menu and he travels to Italy often to keep up with the latest food trends. The pasta dishes are our favorite many are homemade the fettuccine with... More

I have been to Tre Piani many times over the past 10 years. At one time, it was a favorite! It went down hill and then a few years ago, it seemed to come back strong. Well, I was there for a party of 10 last night and I will say, Tre Piani is definately on the downslide. The service... More

Great place to sit at the bar, enjoy a nice dinner, and walk back to the Westin. Bartenders here are friendly and fun, food is very good, wine list is outstanding, and proximity to the hotel is a bonus.
