Piccolo
Piccolo is not your average Italian restaurant. Peter, the owner, and his cousin, Chef Aldo, do a great job executing iconic Italian dishes with a more modern flavor. The restaurant itself is quite small but don’t be discouraged from checking it out. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. Peter is equal parts host, bartender and server. The service, provided by Linda and Peter, was five stars. Piccolo switches up their menu weekly so you’ll always get a new taste. Appetizers, entrees, deserts and drinks are all high quality. I will be returning and I recommend you do the same! Good drinks, great service, even better food!
We dined here many times and loved it. But the recent chef change took awhile to recover from. But they are busier now and we are looking forward to visiting again for dinner. We stopped in last night after a few month absence to find a new streamlined menu and had dessert which was an excellent cheesecake. A real gem in quite a distance to the center. Hard to find, but very good food to a reasonable price. The waiter was very nice and welcomed us friendly. Thje cheesecake was world class, from Europe!
Piccolo is where you want to be. Food is delicious, and service is great and personal. If you're tired of the garbage food they serve at every other Italian restaurant then give piccolo a try. We had baked clams, the lamb special, and seafood risotto. You could taste how delicious the cheese used in the risotto and on the clams was.
The seafood was fresh and the sauce was tasty.
I'd definitely recommend this place any day.

My wife and I have been to Piccolo probably 15 times.....we've introduced 5 couples to the restaurant and I can honestly say that we have never been disappointed in anything we've had there. From the mozz / prosciutto / honey truffle oil appetizer to the osso buco entree to the grandma's cheesecake, it is all been delicious, with chef Aldo getting the credit for that.
The atmosphere is intimate, like a comfortable neighborhood restaurant, and the owner, Peter, and staff, mostly Linda, make you feel very welcome and appreciated. There aren't a lot of tables and since it's getting more and more popular, it's best to make a reservation.
It is a little pricey, but so isn't every other good restaurant around. If you're looking for inexpensive, I would suggest either Wendy's or Golden Corral. But if your looking for a fun evening and a fine Italian dinner, Piccolo is your place. If I could rate it higher than 5 stars, I would.
One final note: if you park along the driveway, stay away from the guy's bamboo behind the restaurant (long story).
Enjoy!
I eat at a LOT of Italian restaurants and I LOVE the food here! This is the place for your date, your family meal, your working lunch. A real home run!
I saw one person made a negative review, but I think she must have some hidden agenda because this food is the BOMB. Pete's a gentleman and his staff is top notch.
Piccolo Italian Gourmet, don't change!
Great selection of paninis, pastas and appetizers. Friendly service. Very good value. All menu items under $20.
We ordered a few paninis, rice balls, and butternut squash gnocchi. Everyone was very satisfied with their orders. Paninis Even came with a little mixed green salad on the side, nice touch. the kids chicken fingers were made to order from fresh chicken, not the frozen boxed variety, nice to see.
Will def be back to try one of the other menu items.
This was my second time having dinner in this great family friendly restaurant....the food was delicious and the cheesecake was amazing...pete the owner was very friendly and recommended a few things and he was on the money...I’m looking forward to my next visit.
Most awesome dinner with superb service. This little restaurant has it all... Will be returning again and again.
A hidden gem! The food is amazing and so Fresh! Can’t wait to go back.
