About the restaurant

Chester’s historic beauty and unique atmosphere make it one of the UK’s most popular places to visit. This ancient city is a must for history-lovers: walk the Roman walls following in the footsteps of Roman soldiers, and visit the largest Amphitheatre in Britain. It makes sense that with all that Roman history, Chester is also home to one of the area’s best Italian restaurants, Piccolino!
Piccolino, an authentic Italian Restaurant, is a proud fixture of the Chester dining scene. Located on Pepper Street, Piccolino in Chester boasts an open kitchen, cocktail bar, and wine boutique. Piccolino is also home to Chester’s very first Prosecco bar and alfresco terrace.
We visit the regions, meet the producers and are committed to sourcing the best quality ingredients. At Piccolino, 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.

My favourite Wilmslow restaurant but wish the staff would give a smile now and again. They are always busy I get that but a smile and a pleasantry isn’t difficult. Piccolino’s isn’t as good and as traditional but the staff are far more pleasant. Can’t fault the food and the ambience though in CIBO so we are lucky to have it on the doorstep

Knutsford

About the restaurant

Situated in the heart of Cheshire and boasting the stunning Tatton Park on it’s doorstep, historic Knutsford is undisputedly one of Cheshire’s prettiest villages. Knutsford’s is an intriguing mix of past and present: think cutting-edge businesses housed within listed buildings, and high-end interior designers next to cosy tearooms. Knutsford is a town of contrasts, which is why it’s the ideal location for Piccolino. Piccolino’s ethos has always been to mix classic with contemporary to create something that truly is the best of both- that’s why Piccolino’s menu offers an array of Italian classics with a distinctly modern twist.
Piccolino, an authentic Italian Restaurant, is a proud fixture of the Knutsford dining scene. Ideally situated in a central village location on High Street, Piccolino in Knutsford boasts an open kitchen, second floor bar area and a substantial rooftop terrace featuring a fully retractable roof, for the ultimate alfresco experience rain or shine!
