Best Italian meal we had while out in LA. SOOOO GOOD. Everyone there was very friendly and nice to us. My wife got the artichoke fettuccine and I got chicken Parm. Both were incredible. 10/10 really cute small place. Old school talian restaurant vibes. Great aesthetic
Il Piccolino is a MUST EAT when visiting Los Angeles or when you have a low key business meeting. I personally prefer eating lunch here. The location is fantastically convenient, and OMG everything I have ordered over the years has been cooked to perfection. I cannot even think of a personal favorite plate because everything I have tried is amazing ..... Table service is exceptional.

Eclectic interior, easy steet parking during the day. Large portions. Enjoyed the caprese and fried calamari. Had the white fish entree and was underwhelmed. Desserts were pretty but way too sweet for me. We tried the bead pudding, chocolate mousse, and salted caramel.

This is currently Sal’s of Provincetown (MA) pop-up and it is exceptional all around; food, staff, atmosphere, and service. You must go! My favorite dining experience in southern CA.
This is a Sals of Provincetown (ma) pop up. My boo adores the original and we've had a couple amazing dinners there on the beach over the past few years. Boo said she actually recognized the maitre'd from our last visit.
We went on the season finale of drag race AND the first night of Coachella so it was pretty quiet at first. It's a small set up, maybe ten tables and a small bar area. Anyway the food was good, the vibe was immaculate and boo said her spirit was lifted after a hard week toiling in the salt mines of the cultural industrial complex.
Please note this place is all cash and you should budget over 100 a person for dinner and drinks, and if you aren't getting drinks what are you even doing here.
Could not recommend this amazing restaurant more! Every single person working there are a dream and so friendly, helpful, considerate and welcoming. The food is AMAZING, we each had three courses and are still talking about how delicious everything was. The ambience and decor are perfect too. We are from out of town but will definitely be back the next time we are in the city. Do yourself a favour and go, you won’t be disappointed.
My husband and I discovered this place when we moved to the neighborhood last year, and this is our go-to date spot. We most recently went last weekend. The food is high quality, simple ingredients, cooked perfectly. Honestly, we eat vegetarian throughout the week, and then if we choose to indulge, we go here. The dover sole and veal with sage are exquisite. The restaurant also has nice touches like bruschetta on the house and a caramel dessert with the check. Service, great. People, great. Everyone seems to know each other, and a lot of them do. I will definitely be coming here long enough to one day say the same. Perfect for: more advanced date night, family dinner. They almost always can squeeze you in around 8:30 day of if you forgot to make a reservation in advance, which I also really appreciate.
Our dinner was wonderful. Sylvio, the owner greeted us at the curb. He is such a warm, lovely host. I had the chicken parmesan which is out of this world and their fabulous chocolate mousse for dessert. They took our temperature before they seated us and of course all the diners were socially distanced. It was a wonderful experience.
Dinner was unbelievably good. We had no reservations, the hostess fit us in. Being from out of town, they treated us well, and we felt at home. Rod Stewart came in while we were eating. The owner came to us and said he hoped we enjoyed everything. I wish I would have introduced myself to Rod Stewart, maybe he could use a good printer! Lol, Roc n Ron from PrintRoc!
Excellent food, excellent service, great setting, and a great host. And the desserts are to die for: the chocolate mousse is beyond compare. We've eaten here many times over the past 5 years (at least 10) and we're just as pleased as we were the first time.
The best restaurant in Los Angeles and Silvio and Eddie are the best host. The best quality food anywhere.
For those of you who think it’s pricey remember it’s top quality food and fresh everyday. So you pay for the best. I been going there since they opened and I refer people everyday.
Wow! I’m a musician and I tour all over the world. I’ve been to Italy many times- all 20 regions. Maybe you have read some of my other reviews in which case you know that I am a foodie and very particular about what I eat and where I eat and the ingredients that I consume. I’m also an excellent cook. Well this place rocks in all categories. We were a party of four and we ordered lots and lots of stuff and it was all superb. If you can get Christie as your waitress you will have struck it rich. She is the greatest. Granted, this place ain’t cheap but for the quality of food and the service it’s a great deal.
Amazing place. An experiece coming here. Small and intimate. Great wine menu with some moderately priced Borellos. Had the short rib pasta. Very rich, very good. Asparagus soup was great. Shared the Mousse for dessert. Also wonderful. Great place to eat.

Probably my most favorite Italian restaurant in Los Angeles... Maybe even the Western US. It's quaint. Like you're eating somewhat in a forest. It's not big, so make sure you make a reservation.
You never know who will be sitting next to you or across from you. Just don't get weird if superstars just show up randomly. But that's not why to go. You wanna go for the risotto. With braised short ribs on top. (spicy chili flakes) or even the bolognese if you wanna just go simple and hearty. Or the frito misto appetizer with the perfect crunch and crispness of the calamari and onions. The clams... I hardly eat clams. But the clams pasta dish they have is great too. The restaurant is expensive. But it's special. Or if you just want to spoil yourself for a dinner night out. It's worth it. Take a date there. It's romantic. It's not flashy from the outside like other restaurants in the area. This one feels very private and intamite once you go through the curtains.
If Kristi is working, ask if you can seat with her. Shes great. They're all great!
Best local food here. Has an old soul italian charm. Everything from the bread, salad, carbonara, to dessert exceeded our expectations, taste wise. Great service. Will come back to try cappuccino and seafood.
Jill (a friend of Silvio’s) and I went for lunch today at Il Piccolino.
My experience was beyond anything that could be described.
Each dish was better than the one before!
The food was so fresh! Each bite was bursting with sensational flavors.
I felt like I was in a movie...Eat, Pray, Love 2...If they make a sequel, they must have a bit of the movie at Silvio’s Il Piccolino!
The staff was stunning, Silvio, charming. It was a little dream for my girlfriend and me.
I RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT 100% and will be coming back soon with my husband and friends.
Thank you Silvio
first time !
will come back for sure !
very warm and a family feeling...❤
