I love going to Piccolo. The service is outstanding and I've never had a bad meal here. I shared a vegetarian pasta dish with my friend along with an appetizer. The homemade pasta was delicious--perfect texture where you bite in and get that slight resistance.

We enjoyed an excellent dinner with friends. The octopus appetizer was delicious. We had the rack of lamb and the veal scallopini for entrees and we would recommend both. The desserts were amazing.

From the moment you step into Piccolo, it’s clear that this dining experience is set to be exceptional. The ambiance strikes a perfect balance between modern elegance and cozy charm, with soft lighting that invites relaxation without sacrificing sophistication. The menu is incredible. Each dish is carefully crafted, not only in terms of presentation but in its complexity of flavors. The chef clearly takes great pride in using the freshest, highest-quality ingredients, and it shows in every bite. Service at Piccolo is another key component that sets it apart. The staff is attentive without being intrusive, and their knowledge of the menu and wine pairings enhances the dining experience. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just enjoying a night out, the staff’s professionalism adds to the overall enjoyment. Overall, Piccolo lives up to its name in every way. From the exquisite food to the attentive service and inviting atmosphere, it offers a truly memorable dining experience. Whether you’re a food enthusiast or simply someone who appreciates fine dining, this is a place that should be on your radar.
