It was very busy so thank goodness we had a reservation. I recommend always making a reservation anyway. I had the parmesan crusted mahi mahi and my friend had a cheeseburger. We both thought our meals were delicious. Between that and the pretzel bread that is served complimentary, we were so full afterward. We also got a bottle of the rhubarb wine to share. It has a unique flavor. It's a sweet wine but not overly sweet. I felt it was a perfect accompaniment to my mahi mahi. The noise level was higher than usual due to the large crowd but overall it was a very pleasant evening.

We had a sticker stuck in our potatoes loaded potatoes with back that we got. They took it off the bill, and apologized and offered something else.

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.

Excellent evening. I would say if a server has a large table and smaller tables would be good for the manager to help out. The smaller tables often suffer from the lack of availability of the server. We skipped dessert as it took too long between courses. On a positive note, saved us calories. Food was outstanding!
