Liverpool is, of course, the city famed for being the birthplace of The Beatles, but there’s so much more to the city than just that. Liverpool boasts stunning architecture, vibrant nightlife, and the buzzing district of Alberts Dock which is packed with galleries, museums, bars and restaurants. Liverpool is also a foodie’s paradise with plenty of unique dining options around the city.
Piccolino, an authentic Italian Restaurant, is a proud fixture of the Liverpool dining scene. Piccolino is located on Cook Street and boasts an open kitchen and a small but perfectly formed alfresco terrace.
Italy’s diverse cuisine is the heart and soul of Piccolino. We visit the regions, meet the producers and are committed to sourcing the best quality ingredients. Our passion for provenance is at the forefront of our menu, which incorporates the best and freshest seasonal produce, Italian cheeses, meat and seafood, all delivering pure classic Italian flavours.

    Really was very good or better. Some of our party thought it outstanding, while others felt that the food, while enjoyable, was not special enough to give 5/5. Nevertheless, nice ambience, wonderful service, and a recommended experience.

    Brucsetta was tasty but how can you go wrong with bread and tomatoes! Main course of pasta and slow cooked beef shin was only average, would have been much nicer if there was actually some beef shin in it. My wife had pizza which was completely tasteless. Will not be returning

    The food was amazing. Pollo al Tarfuto is a lovely dish. Let down was that we arrived on time and had to wait 15 min. When seated we were seated directly where the waiters go in and out from the bar area, we got barged and nudged past every 2 mins from staff running around like headless chickens. Whilst the starters were also lovely it took almost half an hour to 40 mins for the mains to follow the starter which was bizarre. Nevertheless the mains were lovely. The decor of the restaurant does not make sense compared to normal piccolino restaurants. It looks like they purchased an old Wetherspoons and re named it. Overall the food was lovely but the staff certainly need to be trained on etiquette on creating a luxurious ambiance while people dine.

    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're really happy to hear you enjoyed the food, especially the Pollo al Tarfuto and starters. We sincerely apologize for the delays and disruptions during your visit, especially as it was a very busy Valentine's Day. While we strive to offer an exceptional experience, we understand that the service wasn’t up to par during your meal. Your comments regarding the flow of service and staff etiquette are important to us, and we'll be working on improvements to ensure a more enjoyable atmosphere moving forward. We appreciate your insights and hope you'll give us another chance in the future.

    We were sat at a table between bar and service area. It was like a dual carriage way with staff in and out close to us all the time. We asked to get moved but were told no other tables available. We had booked three days in advance so we can’t understand how we were sat there. Overall the food was good except that the potatoes were away over cooked and the sea bass seemed as if it had been left sitting and then reheated Tough and tasteless. The starter was excellent and the other meal also very good. Dessert was excellent. Staff were friendly and efficient.

    Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the food, especially the starter and dessert, as well as the friendly and efficient service. However, we sincerely apologize for the seating arrangement and the issues with the sea bass and potatoes. It's disappointing that your table location was uncomfortable, especially after booking in advance, and we will certainly review our seating practices to avoid similar situations in the future. We’ll also address the concerns regarding the quality of the sea bass and potatoes to ensure all our dishes are served at the highest standard. We truly appreciate your constructive feedback and would love the opportunity to welcome you back for a better experience.
