    Once again, Picolo Trattoria did not disappoint. The service was excellent, food was fresh, delicious and served hot. Ordered the Chilean Sea Bass, which was presented beautifully and cooked to perfection. Only negative was the Caesar salad, which was for some reason in a smaller portion than normal. Has become a favorite spot for dining out.

    We go a little bit out of our way to get to Piccolo, but it's worth it. We've never had a bad meal there. I had the veal fico with gnocchi as the pasta, which was fabulous - the gnocchi is perfect with the fig sauce. The restaurant should really feature that on their specials menu!

    While the food was very good, I chose this restaurant based on the wonderful Mothers Day brunch we had experienced. Unfortunately, Fathers Day did not include a brunch option. Despite our 11 am reservation, the only options were dinner menu items . With 4 small children and 6 adults the food was too plentiful, despite being from a children’s menu. We had to request the children’s menu and were not informed, when ordering, that the pizza option would include a full pie for each child ( two toddlers and two preschoolers). As a result we ended up with four boxes of uneaten pizza to take home. The service was slow and very difficult to understand, perhaps because our server was unfamiliar with serving at a brunch time instead of dinner. The initial seating, even in an empty restaurant ( at 11 am) was in a back room without windows. Our request to be seated in the brighter part of the restaurant was granted and the good food was served. Just check whether the brunch is being served before your reservation.

    I frequent this restaurant quite often as we have moved into the area a year ago. Food is always good. Salad is very fresh and the service is excellent. Noise level is a little high so sitting outside might be a nice option weather permitting. Price for chef’s specials are on the high side.

    We enjoyed a delicious dinner last night. Although the restaurant was crowded (graduation celebration) and a special menu, we were accommodated at request for the regular menu due to dietary restrictions. Their homemade Tiramisu is the perfect ending for the meal. Our waiter Diego was attentive, and we appreciate being able to request him. All of the staff was cordial and helpful, we enjoy eating here often. A true Neighborhood Gem

    Enjoyed the home made lobster ravioli special tonight. We've been here twice in the last couple months because it's a convenient location to meet relatives, and the food and service are excellent. My two young granddaughters enjoy meeting me there.
