Average food quality. If seeking high quality Italian , not the place . The crockery is jaded and not sanitised. Service by staff good but not delightful frankly.

We had a lovely family meal at Piccolino and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We were a big group, but the service was spot on – friendly, efficient, and really welcoming. The food was excellent – the sea bass and lasagna were absolute standouts, and the daily specials were amazing too. Everything was fresh, full of flavour, and beautifully cooked. A fantastic place for a family get-together. Highly recommend.

Great restaurant with great food. manager is from Sicily with a great personality and a passion for service taking great pride in the food at Piccolino. Regrettably, I forgot her name. Pasta was cooked perfectly, and the prices were fair for the great quality of the food and service. Would be worth your time to eat here!

Staff was not up to it. Bartender (heavy set kid) wasn't prepared for the job. Couldn't open a sparkling water bottle. Food is above average. But not the best Italian. Lacked the Italian taste a bit. Slightly overpriced.
