First time trying this place, after it came recommended by a neighbor who is from Rome. We walked in and there was a huge Italian family having a holiday dinner—which is a very good sign. The owner chatted with us for a bit, telling us about the history of the neighborhood and tales of old. The rest
I love Italian food and am always looking for the best Italian around, and this restaurant is the best I’ve had in so long! Pino, the owner and chef, is amazing. He is the best host and an amazing chef. I had such a great time here, and can not wait to come back! We all absolutely cleared out plates
This is our favorite hidden gem of the North End. Chef/Owner Pino Irano serves up authentic Italian cuisine that never disappoints; try the Farfale Cardinale or the Veal Valdosta (our personal favorites). Perfect for a quiet dinner for two or four larger get-togethers.
Truly such a hidden gem! I was told to check out Boston’s little Italy and this was close to the wharf but down a sweet little street. The house wine was very good and the house special of cod with lemon and capers was truly amazing. I’m licking my plate. Good job!

Just go. I stayed in the North End on a girls trip over Labor Day weekend. Our apartment was 2 doors down from Piccolo Nido so we decided to give it a shot. We were all so glad we did!! We had an amazing dinner and ended going back twice after that! The owner/chef, Pino, was incredible and his entir
Do I dare tell you it is delicious? One of my favourite restaurants in the North End. A cozy, homey atmosphere with excellent service. Pino will make a custom dish to suit your dietary needs.
