    Lovely restaurant, very busy and although I had booked a table for 2 months in advance for my husband’s birthday when we arrived the only table available was in a ‘corridor’. It was next to the waiters station and the kitchen. However, when we asked to be moved they were very understanding and accommodating and moved us with only a short delay. Services and food was lovely, great choice on the menu too.

    Great food, close to the hippodrome within walking distance of 3 mins and near to parking too. The Strogonoff is highly recommended along with Garlic bread, side order of broccoli! Seabass was fantastic too. Well worth a visit! Collected our desserts after the show as we were delayed getting there due to road accident. All the staff were friendly and professional! Great night out with both the meal and the show! Not the first time we have been and it won’t be our last either!

    Wonderful Dining Experience at Piccolino We had an amazing meal at Piccolino. Two of us ordered the tagliatelle with salmon, which was absolutely delicious. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his risotto with smoked haddock, and our friend had a gluten-free pasta dish (though I can’t recall which one) that she also loved. Every main course was perfectly prepared and full of flavor. For starters, we shared garlic bread, olives, bruschetta, and arancini — all of which were delightful. To finish, we had the gelato and the panettone bread and butter pudding. The pudding was especially impressive, being both light and flavorful. The service was outstanding, thanks to our lovely server with long hair and glasses. Her warm and friendly personality really made our evening special. Apologies, we can’t remember her name, but she truly enhanced our experience. The atmosphere in the restaurant was perfect, making it an all-around excellent experience. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!
