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!

    Great food and service. A bit too noisy to carry on a conversation.

    My date and I were there on Saturday, May 3rd around 4:30 for our reservation. Even though the restaurant was 1/4 full, it still took around 10 minutes to get seated. We ordered two pizzas and the arancini for an appetizer. The arancini were like warm at best, and while flavorful, barely warm. My nduja pizza came out black around the outside. I know there should be some char, but this was black. The olives on it were burnt and while I mentioned it to our server, he insisted that’s how it should be. I typically enjoy piccolo Bucco and have recommended many of my friends there, but this was a subpar experience for a normally excellent restaurant. I will definitely look elsewhere in oakbrook next time I am in the area.

    Everything was delish and came early enough that it was pleasantly quiet even with my two year old.

    Great lunch spot, food is good. I just wish the pizza crust was a tad crispier. Service was wonderful.

    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.
