Piccolo Buco Roma - set mere steps from Rome's famed Trevi Fountain - is where Cooper's Hawk Founder, Tim McEnery, first discovered Chef Luca Issa and his wonderful pizza. The ingredients were deceptively simple: creamy, indulgent mozzarella mingled with a bright and bold tomato sauce. But it was the extraordinary, tall crust - crisp on the outside yet cloud-like at the center - that won his heart. He couldn't wait to introduce America to a pizza this special!

We had a very nice meal at Piccolo Buco. Our server was very attentive and brought extra plates and serving flatware for us without us having to ask as we were sharing two salads, a pizza, a pasta and two desserts (as well as two bottles of the delicious Super Tuscan wine) between four people. Delicious food, and great well priced wine. Everything was wonderful. My only, slightly negative comment is that the set up of all square tables side by side reminds me less of fine dining and more of a cafeteria set up. That small thing alone will not stop us from going back as this is becoming our favorite spot for Italian food.

What a wonderful spot! Authentic cuisine, attentive and friendly staff. I started with the stuffed peppers a tasty blend of slightly spicy and creamy cheese. I followed it with a ravioli al funghi, everything was really fresh and an obvious passion for food was injected. I got to speak with the owner which was such an authentic touch as well. Bravo
