About this restaurant

  • Great for fine wines
  • Lively
  • Good for groups
Piccolo Buco Roma - set mere steps from Rome's famed Trevi Fountain - is where Cooper's Hawk Founder, Tim McEnery, first discovered Chef Luca Issa and his wonderful pizza. The ingredients were deceptively simple: creamy, indulgent mozzarella mingled with a bright and bold tomato sauce. But it was the extraordinary, tall crust - crisp on the outside yet cloud-like at the center - that won his heart. He couldn't wait to introduce America to a pizza this special!

    Server was kind. One dish never came out and the other two people were done eating. We did have to bring to our servers attention. He apologized and remade the dish. When we asked at the end of the meal to have the missing dish comped they did do it, but we had to initiate it.

    The food was cold. They remade it which took 20 min. My friend was finished with her meal by the time I got the food. It is super noisy in there. It is difficult to have conversations.

    Service when we got there was off to a slow start. It seemed more of an issue with communication than our server. Once he was assigned to us, things went well. But we likely sat there 15-20 min prior to getting even water offered or greeted. We weren’t in a rush but thought it was an odd start. Food was solid. Pizza was yummy.

    Nice except that we were seated where waiter’s constantly pass by and several times that my chair got hit while eating, how annoying. The other waiter who is obese asked my daughter’s to moved her chair closer to the table because she cannot passed through. The place is too crowded that you can’t hardly walk comfortably between tables.

    Service was very slow and a lot of confusion. It took 15 minutes to get drinks. Food order took forever, and when it did come one entree, one was 5 min behind and then one was completely wrong! A pizza was sent that we didn’t order, they had us keep the wrong food, and sent out the correct entree pretty quickly. Then another of the correct entree came about 10 min later. They took a lot off the bill and we had a ton of leftovers, but it wasn’t a great experience and felt very amateur for such a busy restaurant at the mall.
