  I'm not one to spray negativity on the web, in fact this will be my first public review, but Pianeta doesn't offer a email address to do this discreetly and I want to say something. I have been dining at this establishment for almost two decades. I have loved this place and always left very happy until last night. In all the years of eating here I have only been seated upstairs twice and the difference is significant. We (party of two) were crammed onto a table for 1 1/2. We were just a arms length away from a service entrance that was blowing freezing cold air down my back and had my date shivering despite the warm night we couldn't wait to get ourselves back outside to (we wanted to stay and enjoy some dessert but had to just order something to go instead). Our waiter, who's name I don't know because he never introduced himself to us, was unfriendly and it felt that his heart just wasn't in it. I asked him about the specials and he told me he "Didn't know much about them" and the brief one sentence "description in the menu could do a better job explaining them than I could"?!? We felt ignored when we first sat down (before our waiter even said hi to us he yelled right over the top of us to a table that was just being sat behind us)and then rushed us through our first course. The atmosphere upstairs reminded me of ChuckyCheese. There was a kid crying just over my shoulder and two tables where the children were battling to scream louder than the other. I couldn't hear my date and had to re-hash conversations on the drive home. My date was my beautiful girlfriend of three years and this was her Birthday. I suggested Pianeta, and was terribly let down. The second star was given for the food which was just as wonderful as ever.

  We managed to sneak in our party of 4 when the very nice hostess told us to drop by and we caught a cancellation! This place was an outstanding meal, warm and unpretentious service, fantastic drinks and wine... no wounded it's a Truckee institution.
  
  Total Standouts were: the veal meatballs and the chicken cannelloni!
