Piccolo Ristorante Italiano

We came here for the first time two weeks ago as a party of 10. I had to leave early with my son and daughter in law as she started to go into labour! But I did managed to have some of my main course (mushroom & blue cheese pasta) and it was yummy. Everyone enjoyed their meals. My husband and I went back again last night and we had a lovely time. He had the fettuccine and I had the carbonara and we had the garlic bread. This place has officially become our favourite and we will be going back many more times. Thanks for the amazing service and food. See you again soon xx

This is a great little local restaurant, the food is always excellent and the service is friendly. Byo is truly a bonus these days being able to take a bottle of two of your favourites, and they have a few to choose from if you run out (and beers) Can recommend to anyone that likes good Italian food.

Immaculate vibes and wonderful food, staff were lovely, would definitely recommend. However it's not an accessable building unfortunately, and with all the people in there it was very loud so not very sensory friendly. Made conversation a little tricky at times but in some ways that added to the vibesss

We thought we'd try out Piccolo aa it is one of the closest restaurants to our place in Westmorland. Well, we were amazed at the quality and tastiness of the dishes, the rustic, quaint atmosphere and the reasonable prices. My fettuccine gorgonzola combined two of my favourite things - blue cheese and mushrooms - and was cooked to perfection. There was just the right amount of blue cheese sauce i.e. unlike typical kiwi-style pasta, it wasn't smothered in it. And heaps of mushrooms! My partner also really enjoyed his venison ragu special. The crispy garlic pizza bread to start was delicious, with a doughy kind of base that you could let your teeth sink to. And desserts - well, the tiramisu was to die for: light, fluffy and melt in the mouth. We had a bottle of Nero d'Avola from Sicily, reasonably priced at $42. You can also ask to see a selection of Chianti. Piccolo doesn't try to be anything it's not; it knows what it's about and it does it very well. It has only 8 or so tables, so remember to book. It also does takeaways (pick up only). We'll be regulars I think 😀

If you are after a lovely, quieter place to have a great dinner, this is the place to go. It's a smaller restaurant with great Italian food. The staff is lovely and you don't have to wait long for your dinner to be served. I highly recommend you to try there garlic bread. Yum. Prices are reasonable and parking is fine.
