Piccolo Buco Roma - set mere steps from Rome's famed Trevi Fountain - is where Cooper's Hawk Founder, Tim McEnery, first discovered Chef Luca Issa and his wonderful pizza. The ingredients were deceptively simple: creamy, indulgent mozzarella mingled with a bright and bold tomato sauce. But it was the extraordinary, tall crust - crisp on the outside yet cloud-like at the center - that won his heart. He couldn't wait to introduce America to a pizza this special!

The food is always delicious and having it cooked in front of you is always fun! There was a little confusion with our order, but we did get everything we paid for. It was well worth the money we paid.

We celebrated our Thanksgiving at Coopershawk. Everything was perfect except the way in. We were coming from the east and had a hard time figuring out how to get to the restaurant. We made some mistakes and had to try two times before we actually found the parking lot. We could have had a terrible accident. I won't be coming back myself with friends as it is too tricky for me to negotiate. I am sorry because we really liked everything. We have been to the Oak Park Coopershawk but it is farther away. Also Schamburg is too far. So sadly we probably won't be back.

We had a great experience! Food and service was great! Our waitress was amazing but I can’t remember her name. We were there on 11/27 around 5:30pm and we ate in The Board Room. She had short curly hair and glasses. She was the best!!!!
