I had an amazing experience at Piccolo Buco! The pizza was authentic, with a perfect blend of flavors and a crispy crust that was just right. To top it off, their espresso martinis were fantastic! The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the staff were friendly and attentive. This spot is a must-visit for anyone who loves great pizza and delicious cocktails.
