Piccola Cucina Osteria it's our gem in the heart of SoHo. The Chef and owner Philip Guardione opened in January 2013 to bring in the city the real taste of Sicily.
Friendly service with a buzzy atmosphere, all in a typical Italian restaurant setting. It is matched by home cooking like you would expect to eat in Italy, which is one of the keys to the success of the restaurant. Fully renovated in 2021 the location looks warm and cozy.

Our other two Piccola Cucina locations in Manhattan are:
Piccola Cucina Estiatorio ( 75 Thompson street )
Piccola Cucina Uptown ( 106 E 60th Street )

Piccola Cucina Osteria accepts online requests for parties smaller than 6 guests only.
If you are looking for a bigger party or special event, please contact us info@piccolacucinagroup.com
Thank you

    Accommodated us asap when we showed up prior to our reservation. Level of service is exceptional from everyone on the floor. Menu is just the right size for my liking, not an extensive list of mains, just a good variety. Wine list not extensive but very good. Restaurant is very small, about the size of a bedroom with about twelve small tables so you are nearly shoulder to shoulder with other patrons but there’s something very cozy about it and we actually enjoyed it! We will definitely return or try one of their other locations when visiting NYC again.

    Food was amazing. Absolutely loved my meal. However, I didn't care much for the small space. Maybe because it was a Saturday night, but we felt rushed and the noise level made it hard to converse. I will return during the week to compare.

    Letting guests wait by the front door=exit is unworkable in the space. Wine by the glass is expensive. Food is great.

    We had a fabulous meal on our first night in NYC at Piccola Cucina Osteria on Spring Street. A tiny little space, it was jammed with customers and cozy! We split a giant salad with beets, walnuts, fresh fruit and greens, and one of their nightly specials, gnocchi with tuna belly, baby zucchini sauce, and ricotta foam. Absolutely delicious and unique! Our waitress was incredible as well, mentioned in other reviews as the superstar she is, Elideth! Her fellow server, Lucy, was very helpful too! They got us a special dessert of all their sweet offerings together, a few mouthfuls of each- it was amazing! Make a reservation and experience this perfect SoHo restaurant!

    Excellent lunch before our play. Tiny place so make a reservation. Good ambiance and good caring service. We had Pasta with Cucio e Pepe which was delicious, and the Spinach salad which had beets and other tastes and was very good. Also we each had a glass of Montepulciano- also very good. Reasonable price and we took lots of food home for a second meal. I’ll be back!!

    Anytime I’m in the city I make it a point to come here. Took my family here the other night and they said it was the best meal they’re ever had! Everything is top notch - the service, food, ambiance. Such an incredibly special place. Seriously some of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had were here.
