    If we’d only eaten here it would be 5’s scoring all round but it falls slightly short in comparison to other restaurants. The gnocchi is amazing get it if it’s on the menu! For quite a small restaurant it lacked that personal touch. That said, they were very busy. If you’re in Central Park definitely book in.

    This was our 10th visit to Piccola Cucina Upton. We stumbled upon this 2 years ago and every time we visit the city we try to get there for dinner. The food is amazing, the service is even more amazing. You feel like you stopped off in Italy for a few hours. Highly recommend this restaurant.

    Small restaurant with amazing atmosphere. I lived in Rome for a period so my standards for Italian food are pretty high. THIS MET THAT LEVEL. The food was authentic and so was the service. The owner (I'm assuming) greeted each party with a "Ciao!" The food was top notch too. We got the Arancini Catanesi to start. Felt like I was back in Trastevere. The atmosphere was warm and inviting and noise level was energetic but not hectic. Would definitely come back during the spring/summer to sit out on the balcony.
