Service and atmosphere exceptional but two dishes out of three (both the same chicken and pasta dish) were rediculously bland. Simply tasteless. We had to pile on the salt to make it even edible. The other dish - a pasta with ragu - was superb. Lovely little complimentary dessert as it was an anniversary
Piccolino - ChichesterResponded on May 29, 2025
Thank you for your feedback, Shally. We're glad you enjoyed the service, atmosphere, and the ragu pasta, as well as the complimentary dessert. Sorry to hear the chicken and pasta dishes were bland, your comments will help us improve. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you again soon! Kind Regards Piccolino

It was a very nice experience, but it has the feeling of a chain restaurant rather than an Italian one. Going in, I felt like I went into The Ivy. Not really very Italian

Dear Andrei, Thanks for your kind feedback about the food and service. We're always looking to improve and hope to give you a more authentically Italian feel next time. Best Regards Piccolino

Restaurant is absolutely beautiful. Staff and service was great, although it felt like fast food we was in and out in an hour. My main course was bland and the chicken had obviously been pre cooked and reheated as it was chewy.
Piccolino - ChichesterResponded on May 24, 2025
Dear Sam, Thank you for the kind words about our team and the ambience — we’re glad you enjoyed those aspects. We're sorry to hear your main course didn’t meet expectations. Please know all our fish and meats are fresh and prepared in-house daily. We appreciate your feedback and will use it to improve. We hope to welcome you back for a better experience next time! Best Regards Piccolino Team

Loverly venue, friendly staff. Tasty food but nothing special sadly. Pricing is on the steep side for what u get, £29for a waggu lasagne with extra truffle (not that I could see any extra truffle), is it a good lasagne yeah it’s nice, but £29 then sides are £6:50… I got a side salad which consisted of the half the inside of a tiny baby gem lettuce, on a plate smaller then a tea saucer. When u have a Zizi, Franco Manko and pizza express next door I wouldn’t be heading here for a good value tasty dinner. But as a nice romantic dinner where u don’t mind splurging the cash fine. The steak prices wow, after traveling Italy last year and getting the most amazing 800g- 1kg porterhouse states for no more than €50 with sides, it’s disappointing to see. Pop to Flat iron for a perfect steak for £14:50 with a free ice cream.

Dear Chris, Thanks for your honest review. Happy to hear you enjoyed the ambiance and staff, but sorry the prices and portions didn’t quite match your expectations. We appreciate your feedback. Kind Regards Piccolino

Had another fabulous meal to celebrate my birthday. Excellent service , always tricky with a large table, (thank you lily) , and food was fab. Nothing was too much trouble . I had a voucher for a bottle of birthday bubbles but couldn’t use it as my birthday Friday and offer is Monday -Thursday. Obviously not the restaurants fault but they did present me with a complimentary glass of fizz and birthday dessert which was a lovely touch. Big thank you to all the staff !
Piccolino - ChichesterResponded on May 18, 2025
Dear Susan, Thank you for your lovely review, and for choosing to celebrate your birthday with us again! We're so pleased you had another fabulous meal and that Lily and the team helped make it special. We're glad the fizz and dessert added a nice touch, even if the voucher couldn't be used this time. Your kind words mean a lot to us, and we’ll be sure to pass on your thanks to the whole team. We hope to welcome you back again soon! Warm wishes, Piccolino Team

Very disappointing - food was warm not hot - small portions and could not taste the wagu beef in the lasagne. Peppercorns medallions were so peppery it was difficult to eat - had this in London restaurant and was so much better. They did take one lasagne off the bill and bring some more sides as these were extremely small. Would not go back to Chichester branch
