    I am a regular at the restaurant and I usually love it. Today the service was bad. The server messed up our order, I ordered wine and I never got it until I asked for it again to Erika, one of the managers. If it wasn't for Erika and Tatiana, super sweet server, who didn't take our order, it would have been really bad.

    The hostesses are definitely subjected to racial discrimination against Asian individuals. Seems like they are only used to serve old rich white people.

    Always a wonderful experience. Feels like a family run business ( yet y has multiple locations, NY, Montana and Naples) with great attention to detail and experience.

    This is one of our favorite Italian restaurants in the City. We have been many times. This time we had a lovely table upstairs near the open doors to the balcony. It was a beautiful Spring night and you could feel the breeze at our table. The food was outstanding through all three courses. Service is excellent and they are all so friendly! Can’t wait to go back!!

    We had a good time with Jose, the bartender upstairs, and the food was good! This is our second time and our favorite dish is the fried sardines!!!

    L’accueil est excellent La nourriture de très bonne qualité abondante, peut-être même trop pour un européen Et surtout la Responsable ou la patronne qui est de Sicile, anime le tout Je recommande chaudement

    I was really excited to try Piccola Cucina Uptown, but when I walked in, the more were a bunch of open tables and the hostess greeted me, lying, and told me all of the tables were booked and I could only sit at the bar. I went on OpenTable to look at reservations and it turns out I COULD sit at a table. The female manager came over and was very rude to me and rushed me to a table and rolled her eyes at me and treated me like I was less than. Very rude manager and hostess. I ordered my food and the waiter didn’t come and check on me until I was all finished. For the price point and the standard I thought this restaurant would be, I was VERY disappointed with the service. The food was amazing, but I could go to another restaurant where they treat customers better. Piccola Cucina Uptown, please do better.
