    Piccola Italia is our favorite restaurant! There are many reasons. The service, high quality of the food, white tablecloths, quiet atmosphere & Specials Menu. You are greeted with a smile & a warm welcome. The food is delicious & delivered to the table at the appropriate temperature. We have been to Piccola Italia many times & will continue to do so. It definitely passes the Go Back Test! You will not be disappointed!!
