This was our first visit and it proved to be very enjoyable. We ordered from the main menu and the items we selected were cooked to perfection and all very tasty. The service was pleasant and very friendly and the atmosphere was good. We will be returning to Piccolino n the future.

As always the food was amazing. Only constructive criticism is that the Panna Cotta has changed to strawberry Flavour on a Prosecco jelly base, the original version is much nicer. This doesn’t mean it was bad, it was just disappointing. However, overall the food was delicious.

This is our go to restaurant every time we go toHarrogate as quite simply it’s “The Best” in town! From the moment you walk in you are made so welcome and the staff are wonderful! It was a busy night but we didn’t feel rushed and our food was delivered in a timely manner. The pasta here is another level and we were both delighted with our choices. The Lemonchello spritz was fabulous too! Great atmosphere, I honestly can’t fault it and highly recommend
