    First time, long time for brunch here. Usually just come for dinner. Brunch was off the charts excellent. Had a variety of different items, all really good. The banana Nutella pancakes were terrific.... Will definitely have again. Omlette was great as well. Also liked that some of the basic menu was available for those that don't like brunch food.

    Excellent dinner for Valentine’s Day with my 91 year old father. The tables were VERY close together and the tipsy table next to us got really loud, which is why I gave ambience 4 stars- but I love this restaurant and will always go back. And they gave the ladies a rose on the way willing is always lovely touch. Well done Piccolo’s!
