   Considering the new owner just took over the restaurant which was a neighborhood gem, they managed everything very well.

   This our second dinner since the change of owners. There is a new chef and several new staff. The service is excellent and the menu selection is wide ranging. We have been coming here for several years and hope to continue. While some of the dinners were fine, I did find the shrimp parmigiana was a bit under cooked and the veal was a bit tough. The fish francese was good and tasty. Time will tell. Ernie was present at both dinners and was friendly.

   Thank you for dining with us and for sharing your detailed feedback. We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the service and our new menu selection. It’s wonderful to know that Ernie’s warm hospitality added to your experience. We truly value loyal patrons like yourself who have been with us through the changes. While we're delighted that some dishes, like the fish francese, met your expectations, we’re sorry to hear that the shrimp parmigiana and veal didn’t quite hit the mark.Your input is invaluable, and we’ll share it with our chef to ensure these items are perfected. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to grow and improve—we look forward to welcoming you back soon!

   We were regulars for a long time. The old owner Roberto told us in June that he was closing for 3 months July, August and September. That was extended to October and finally reopened on November 1. We dined there on November 2. What a disappointment! New owners. The menu changed and the prices were ridiculous. $70 for lamb chops when the best steak houses don't charge that much. The caprese salad was a joke. One slice of tomato with a lump of cheese on top for $20! For $18 in other top Boca restaurants you get 3 pieces for $18 and the Piccolino presentation was awful. I will try to post a photo with this review but I don't know if I can. One of us ordered Salmon with double broccoli instead of potato. It came out with a single order of broccoli and potato. When we told the lady that it was incorrect she said she knows. She said she wrote it down but the kitchen made a mistake. She never offered to take it back. To add insult to injury it was ice cold! The salmon was undercooked and tasteless.They no longer serve iced tea. Instead they sell bottles of some horrible brand. I never ate at a restaurant that didn't have brewed iced tea. Obviously the new owners figured out that they could sell bottles so they don't have to give free refills. I am so disappointed but will never return. I waited to post this review in case it was a bad night and I was wrong but I just read a review from someone last week also with a 1 star review.

   Your comments reflect a pattern of dissatisfaction by a few over the sale of the restaurant. Most guests have embraced and appreciate the fresh approach we bring, as evidenced by repeat reservations. There are some points that need clarification to ensure an accurate representation of our restaurant on our second night of operation. Iced Tea: Yes, we do not offer free iced tea, we serve premium bottled iced tea, selected for its quality. We do not serve lamb chops; We serve Rack of lamb, a premium and distinct dish. Since you did not even order it, your comments are based on incorrect assumptions rather than actual experience. Caprese Salad: Ours is made with fresh, daily mozzarella, we prioritize quality. Our menu changes reflect our commitment to offering high quality cuisine.

   Piccolino Italian Restaurant provided stellar food, wine, and service recently to our group of two couples. Our friends liked their salmon prepared with mushrooms, side of steamed spinach, veal francaise, side of spaghetti in marinara sauce. My husband and I also enjoyed eggplant rollatine appetizer. We both ordered our favorite, sole francaise served with sides of sauteed spinach. Rob ordered pinot noir, while my husband and I both ordered cabernet sauvignon. We highly recommend Piccolino Italian Restaurant.

   This is a real gem in Boca Raton. Will return here again when vacationing. Authentic Italian. Love the owner Roberto and his wife. Feel like part of the family here. Lots of choices on the menu - and superb.

   Intimate atmosphere reminiscent of a small neighborhood Italian restaurant in Italy. Roberto oversees every aspect of the dining experience. Every dish we have tried has been 100% perfect. We have become regulars and dine here every Saturday night. The restaurant will be closed all of July, August and September so rush in now and you will become hooked!
