   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.

   Fresh. Local. Flair. 1st time diner, long time anticipater. I can’t say enough about the food, wine list and SERVICE!! Whoa, this little neighborhood spot was on point! The food was amazing, fresh and delicious. The service team was extremely kind, knowledgeable, and extremely attentive. They anticipated our needs. From the water selection to the bread basket to the pasta plates to the grand grilled meat finale. These guys know exactly what they’re doing. Hidden gem.
