Need a couple of regular pasta dishes on menu. In a shrimp pasta dish I got 2 shrimps- maybe change the name of the dish because there was more sausage and broccoli rabe. However, the food was delicious.

Amazing food, service, and ambiance! Piccola Italia is one of our favorite places. This family owned restaurant does not disappoint. The food is always fresh and delicious. The staff is friendly and accommodating, and the owners (Brian & Carolina) are always present and greet their customers with a warm welcoming. There’s a full service bar and a wine list with an abundance of choices. You can have date night here, couples night or family dinner. Be sure to make a reservation as it does get busy here. Thank you Piccola Italia for another enjoyable Saturday evening dinner. Beth C.

Food and service were fine, but the noise level made it very difficult to communicate. They really have to find some way to reduce the background noise.

We hadn’t been to this restaurant in a while, so we decided to go. It’s close to our home. We were happy we decided to come. The food was excellent and the service was excellent. It was a little pricey ($150+) for two people but we enjoyed the restaurant very much.

Piccola Italia is superb! My husband and I dine here often and we have never been disappointed. The food is excellent. The staff is wonderful. We have come here on many occasions - alone, with family, and with multiple couples. We have always had a terrific experience. There is a full serviced bar with top shelf choices. The food is outstanding. You will not be disappointed should you choose this restaurant. I highly recommend this hidden gem.

We haven’t been to Piccolo Italia for several years as we moved out of the area. We were thrilled to find it is as good as ever! The food, portions and service were excellent. It was so nice to have music which was pleasant and not too loud so you could have a conversation without shouting. We will definitely be returning!
