    Piccola Cucina has been my favorite restaurant since the first time I went there after they opened during Covid. They were so kind and generous, serving free appetizers to the guests that ate outside, since inside was closed. Since then, I've been telling my friends and business colleagues, who all now feel as I do - that this is our favorite gem in our neighborhood! Erica, the phenomenal manager is always kind, energetic and able to get to speak to nearly everyone who dines there. Although the entire team is wonderful, the restaurant's vibrant ambiance wouldn't be the same without her. I ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ Piccola Cucina!
