The food was great, I got the Italia with Ragu sauce! The service was great too, they were very attentive and were always ready to assist. the price for what I got was good. it’s a small restaurant, so I definitely recommend making a reservation, but it’s super cute and not too loud.

Second time visiting Piccola Cucina - Spring Street; went back after several years as our first experience was positive. Good all around. I liked the idea of the ‘deconstructed’ tiramisu being prepared at the table but it didn’t quite hit the mark… the Savoiardi biscuits were too crunchy and there was a distinct lack of liqueur. Other than that, the food was good and ambience cheerful without being too noisy or overbearing (it is a very small space).

The food was delightful -stuffed zucchini flowers and caprese salad ,followed by tagliatelle with wild boar ragu and ravioli as our main courses .Finished off with a lovely tiramisu and double espressos - - and I had a Merlot grappa to end a wonderful dinner. Someone must have contacted the restaurant - - a candlelit treat was brought out with the whole restaurant singing happy birthday to me— a great evening!
