Piccola Cucina Estiatorio

It was awesome

It is a bit tight inside. Fewer tables would be nice and the noise level would maybe be lower.

Amazing food

GREAT Italian food, and homemade pasta dishes. One of our favorites in Soho.

Will absolutely be back. Found this place thanks to great reviews on OpenTable and celebrated my friend's birthday. They had the whole (small) place involved when they brought her out a dessert and played happy birthday over the speaker. Authentic food, authentic Italian (and handsome) men working there, I just loved it.

Amazing place!!!! I love coming here!!!
Everytime I am in NYC I eat at PICCOLA CUCINA!
The best Italian food in the world!!

BEST PLACE EVER! DEFINITELY RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE.

I am Italian, and the food was excellent. I don't really want to write too many good things, because i don't want the secret to be let out. A must go. delish.

I am coming back soon ! So good. Great service, delicious appetizers and main course. Best fried zucchini ever.

Unbelievably good!

Love all three of these gems in SoHo - try them all!

Great food and ambiance, amazing service

The place is a little crowded with very energetic atmosphere, maybe not an ideal choice to have a date. Foods were great and service was nice, but one thing quite annoying was the cold wind swirling whenever the door was opened.

Waiter was very knowledgeable

Great energy! Super fun for big groups and the food is phenomenal. Excellent eggplant Parmesan, truffle caccio e pepe

They put us at a table jammed into a corner and one member of our party was constantly being hit and jostled in their chair as wait staff needed to get by her to a servers area. Was awful.

Sono stata a Piccola Cucina varie volte. Il cibo e' sempre buono,il servizio e' veramente peggiorato purtroppo...

Excellent food and excellent vibe. Best para I’ve ever had.

the restaurant has great food. However, conversation is almost impossible. The noise level is much too high. There is music playing, tight sitting, people screaming to just talk with the person they are with. this may be fine for young people, but for people looking for a nice night out and a quiet dinner this is not the place. Like I said, the food is great, service is good but something has to be done about the noise level

Demasiado ruido si vas a partir de las 20.30!

Great Italian food, interesting tastes and options, good cooking skills. The space is very small, the tables are too many and they are too close together for comfort or any privacy. If they allowed less people in, everyone would have a really lovely meal and the waiting staff would be better able to do their job.

Our group of 9 came here for a pre-marathon pasta dinner the Saturday evening before the 2018 NYC Marathon. While the space is small (the restaurant holds maybe 40), they were easily able to accommodate our large group with a reservation. It also helped that we were on the earlier side of the evening, as we were in by 5pm and out by 7:30pm.

We had a variety of their appetizers (octopus, eggplant parm, arancini, and the burrata). Everything was delicious, and the eggplant parm was particularly good. For dinner, most in our group had the ravioli, bucatini, or the cavatelli - everyone loved their pasta. Great atmosphere, good wine selection, and the service was very attentive.

Food always amazing and fresh products, restaurant’s crew spectacular!

amazing, authentic and delicious. super gem. quality high grade. my favorite Italian restaurant. I drive cab and this restaurant is always recommended to me by my Italian passengers from italy who work/visit/live in nyc. Always amazing and listen to the specials... usually outrageous. Seriously, forget this review and just go to try it out.

the atmosphere was great fun and energetic!
food was beyond amazing - we loved it so much we went twice in three days! we tried menu and specials - all were delicious. It was like being in Italy!
the staff were so friendly and helpful. Service was efficient, quick, but not annoying quick!
I can't recommend enough!

Always good food and great service!

Outstanding authentic Sicilian Italian food.
Very welcoming, outgoing, and friendly staff.

As always a fabulous meal. Had lunch and the portions were perfect, not too large just filling enough. The pasta was delicious. Love this place. Never had a bad meal or bad service.

Great restaurant ever! I think I will be here again soon.

Delicious food, great service and quaint soho restaurant.

Tight space. Friendly and helpful wait staff. Our starters and main courses were both excellent.

I’ve been here approximately 8 times and continue to love each experience. Although they have two other stellar locations that I’ve tried, this one is my favorite. I originally found this restaurant when i was looking for a great pasta place in the city - knowing i had to look for southern Italian for the best pasta, Piccola Cucina popped up in my search as it’s a Sicilian restaurant that truly embodies and embraces its roots. You can choose literally anything on the menu and not be worried about whether you will enjoy it or not, BUT make sure you listen to the list of specials!! There are some real gems every time I’ve been. The pasta is the best I’ve ever had even though I grew up in a Sicilian family, and the staff are amazing and truly add to the Sicilian experience - I always feel welcomed and like part of the family. I’ve recommended Piccola Cucina at least a dozen times and I always get texts from friends saying they had the most amazing time and delicious food. Not only is the food outstanding, but for a restaurant of this quality in New York, it’s an incredible value. Looking forward to many more visits in the future.

Picked off of open table. Food was great and so was service. So loud!!! No dance music as previous posts stated. Was hoping for that.

Excellent food and service! We ordered three different types of pasta and all of them were good and super tasty..Highly recommended!

I love going to La Piccola Cucina during the weekend and have a very good pasta plate - probably one of the best in the city. Also, the service is awesome and they entartain their clients in a very funny way. Can’t wait to return.

Love it as always!! Spaghetti ai ricci di mare are my favorite always and forever and Giacomo is the best!

Amazing food, fantastic staff, great atmosphere. I would definitely recommend this tho anyone and would love to come back when I’m in the city again

Great place in the village, excellent customer service and food was tops - this is seafood oriented and also a really nice Italian wine selection - seating is tight but intimate, food is both tapas style and meals - perfect for a couple or party size

Excellent place to go with friends ! Great food to share
