    We had a fabulous meal on our first night in NYC at Piccola Cucina Osteria on Spring Street. A tiny little space, it was jammed with customers and cozy! We split a giant salad with beets, walnuts, fresh fruit and greens, and one of their nightly specials, gnocchi with tuna belly, baby zucchini sauce, and ricotta foam. Absolutely delicious and unique! Our waitress was incredible as well, mentioned in other reviews as the superstar she is, Elideth! Her fellow server, Lucy, was very helpful too! They got us a special dessert of all their sweet offerings together, a few mouthfuls of each- it was amazing! Make a reservation and experience this perfect SoHo restaurant!
