Piccante, Homemade Italian Food

Was there on Saturday with my family. Everything’s 10 out of 10. Server Lisa was super friendly and attentive , she provided such a good service. The food was amazing. I had fettuccine with short rib and it was easily the best pasta I’ve ever had! Place was pretty busy and it was super noisy for us, but we didn’t have to wait long. I’ll definitely be there this weekend.

It is one of the best unexpected discoveries of Bay Ridge. I was looking for a place to eat on Easter all the " Popular" places were closed or too busy. A gentleman man at a bus stop of 76 recommended this place. I was a bit reticent at first. However, I convinced my friend to give it a go. Let me tell you, it was one of the best decisions ever. The service was superb, the food was out of this world. My friend, who is quite a finicky eater, ate all her food quietly. She was speechless. I enjoyed my steak, which was cooked to perfection with the chimichuri sauce. The Brussel Sprouts were other worldly. The only improvement needed is the wine selection. They need to add some Cabernet Sauvignon to the list. Other than that, I think my friend and I have found our good to place. I intend on trying everything on the menu

This place if fannntastic. My fiance and I have been here 3 times so far and the food is delicious! We started with grilled pesto calamari and the apple walnuts goat cheese salad then for main dishes we had pasta ragu, chicken parmasean, beef lasagna, and gnocchi with spicy sausage (there was 4 of us lol) and finally for dessert we had terimisu and volcano something (forgot the name, sorry). Everything was cooked to perfection and it's all very reasonably priced for the quality of food and portions. I honestly love this place and am so happy we stumbled upon it! We'll be coming back for more!

Ate here for the first time tonight and was blown away at how good the food was. There's a lot of good Italian food in Brooklyn, but Piccante is by far the best. Everything is homemade from scratch, the staff is incredible and I would pay twice what they charge for the food. It is an experience. We ate the shrimp, mushroom pasta dish in a white wine sauce, chicken Masala, and butternut squash ravioli. It was all incredible.

You might miss this quaint little place if you're walking by in a hurry. Having exhausted the local favorites (Vesuvio, Lombardo's, etc.) we stumbled across Piccante while strolling down 3rd Ave one evening. The place was warm, homey and dimly lit. We were very satisfied with what we ordered. The food was fresh, well-seasoned and had a good balance of flavors. We ordered the prosciutto with mozzarella and fig glaze as our appetizer and for mains, the spinach-ricotta ravioli and seafood spaghetti. Will be back for their salads, risotto as well dessert. Space is tight so if you decide to come in during a busy time, I'd suggest making a reservation. Note that the beverages menu includes only beer and wine.
