Very nice & busy Sicilian restaurant in Soho. The food is flavorful with plenty of selection including for those who don't eat meat. The restaurant gets very crowded and the tables are packed close together so prepare to be bumped frequently by the servers going back & forth. Make sure you make reservations. Recommended for reasonably priced (for NYC) authentic Italian cuisine.
Cynthia was amazing! She suggested an excellent wine for us and it was great. The food was excellent, everyone loved what they had. Tagliatelle, Ravioli, A salmon special, and the fusili. Would highly recommend. The atmosphere is warm and cozy. We were lucky and walked up and got seated in 5 minutes, but can tell this is a place you are better off having a reservation for.
If you’ve been to Italy this place will feel familiar. The customer service was excellent, the waiter taking his time to answer questions and share with us the specials and recommendations. The food was delicious, nice portions and excellent presentation. Loved the ambiance, intimate seating, in the evening the glow of the candles and light adds a special feel. I will be returning.
We had a nice lunch in this restaurant. Make sure that they have two different location at Soho which this one is open for lunch, and the other one for dinner. This place is pretty small if looking for some space place. However, love the environment and their Green Tagliatelle.
This is our second time visiting Piccola Cucina but first time in this location. Food here is amazing!!
To be honest I didn't like arancini, they didn't have any special flavor so I would skip them. The meatballs were so yummy.
Since it was national pasta day we expected they are going to have some special offer but there wasn't anything. We chose verde tagliatelle with ragu and fusilli. Fusilli are cooked al dente, at first you need a moment to get used to it but they are so delicious.
Lemon cheesecake is good but it could have a more stronger lemon flavor. It is so mild you hardly feel it.
Overall we are very satisfied with this place and their food.
Standout service, great food that tastes just like in ITALY. Very friendly staff, amazing atmosphere and attention to details. Was beyond happy with our lunch and can’t wait to come back for more!
The food here truly exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend trying the shrimp crudo; it's a culinary masterpiece. The pasta is exceptionally good too. The flavors were very well-balanced, creating a delightful and unforgettable dining experience.
We loved the appetizers, atmosphere and service in this restaurant. The choice of wine by our server was fantastic. Also, the vibe was completely in sync with what you’d expect in NYC. We were celebrating our friend’s b’day and they gave us complimentary cannoli to celebrate the occasion which was fantastic.
What we didnt like: the main course lagged flavor. Also, we were sitting next to the front door and were greeted with cold breeze whenever it was opened (and it often was to serve the guests outside) :/
If you seek authenticity, flavor, and a touch of Sicilian magic, make your way to Piccola Cucina Estiatorio. Whether you’re dining solo, with friends, or a loved one, this little corner of SoHo will wrap you in its arms and leave you craving more.
Buon appetito! 🍝🍷
