   The Valentine’s prefix was outstanding. The crab cake with fennel and apple and clams oreganotta were so tasty and 90% crab. Tagliatelle with shrimp/scallops and filet mignon were fresh and cooked to perfection. Lastly, the pistachio cheesecake was off the charts. All staff was very attentive. We usually don’t go out for valentine’s but the menu and price were hard to pass up. So glad we made reservations; memorable night.

   I regularly dine there particularly to invite a friends because I find the value outstanding. The portion size on the early specials and the variety of choices is unexpected, particularly, for the price point. My friend was very impressed and we shall return. The service is as solicitous as you would wish. I am no stranger to fine dining establishments and I consider the quality and service par with any, if not better. this is an all around pleasurable experience. If I have one mention, it would be that it is very intimate, and when a full house, it can be a bit filled with conversation. I don’t let it disturb my party, as it is a gem, with convenient parking, and it takes and honors reservations.

   It's a fantastic local Roseland restaurant with reasonable prices, consistently well-prepared food, plenty of choices, ample parking, and BYOB.

   This is our favorite restaurant to dine at and it is always a wonderful evening. Everyone is polite, professional, accommodating and lovely. We dined here on New Year's Eve and the food was incredible. My husband was diagnosed with an incurable cancer 15 months ago and after a long year and transplant, we chose to have our first dinner out after more than a year, at La Cucina Piccola to celebrate the New Year. We chose an early time and without stating why, we asked for a modification to my husband's meal and although it was a set menu, they were able to accommodate his dietary needs without any issues. We returned tonight for another wonderful meal and evening. The food is always outstanding and portions are very generous. Don't skip desert!

   Small, excellent, local Italian restaurant. Food is excellent and service is very good. We were served by Cameron and Shia Who were both very attentive to all needs and provided excellent menu information and suggestions. Reservations suggested, especially on weekends. They are now open on Sundays too. Restaurant is BYOB.

   Now open on Sunday. Consistently great food at very fair prices. There is plenty of parking as it is located in a strip mall. You won't be disappointed.

   Another fine dinner at La Cucina Piccola. We introduced yet another friend to LCP, who loved the complete experience just as have all the other people we have brought to the restaurant. Our orders were a mix of off-the-menu and specials, which are always great. The PEI mussels in a light saffron cream sauce were outstanding - on the menu as an appetizer, you can upsize it and have it as an entree. Such a winning combination: innovative cuisine, delicious food, large portions, BYOB, friendly and knowledgeable servers, ability to adapt to dietary needs, moderate prices, free parking. A great prix fixe menu as well, if ordered by 6PM. DO make a reservation - any day and especially especially on Fri-Sat.
