Fodor's Review:

Creative pasta dishes like pappardelle with braised duckling, caramelized onions, sun-dried tomatoes, and mascarpone-duck au jus, and homemade pumpkin ravioli with pine nuts and brown sage butter grace the menu here. Entrées include grilled salmon with spinach risotto and tomato-caper sauce, and a superb pancetta-wrapped trout with rosemary, wild mushrooms, and polenta. It's a crowded but nevertheless enjoyable trattoria with informal ambience, super-low prices, and a snug, urbane bar; the windows are dressed in frilly valances, and a mural of the Italian countryside lines one wall.

We ate here on our last night in Santa Fe, based on the expectation from Fodor's that this would be fairly reasonable priced. Hmmm. The food WAS excellent. The busy bistro atmosphere was fun. But wines by the glass STARTED at $10-12 and there were maybe two bottles between $35-40, neither of which was appealing. While the list concentrated on Italian wines and imports are more costly now, they could offer a couple Chilean, Argentine or even CA selections, under $40. It was not a special occasion so we really didn't want to spend $50 or more just for wine, when our food tab for two was going to be about $60. Without dessert or coffee. So I guess it WAS a comparatively inexpensive meal since we simply drank water.

Excellent Italian food -- perfect for when you're sick of New Mexican. The quail was really good, and the pumpkin ravioli was out of this world. My husband, who's a tiramisu fanatic, declared Il Piatto's to be on his top five list. Pleasant little place with great, very reasonable food.
