    Great experience. Food excellent. Reserved the private round table tucked in back of restaurant for 3 couples. Food was excellent everyone loved their choices. Service was good. One thing that was odd was that when we got there all the glasses and plates were upside down rims touching table. We are germaphobes so we wiped down our glasses. Also when server brought the Pellagrino she just plopped it on table not opened, no ice, no lemon. Typically a restaurant will bring it with glasses filled with ice and lemon/lime wedges. Despite these minor oversights, I do recommend this very good restaurant in the heart of Ridgewood.

    It is always so nice to start your dining experience with a warm greeting. The service and management are always welcoming and right on the spot. Food is tasteful and not rushed. This was the first time we have eaten inside, and it's cozy and warm.

    Nestled in a charming corner of town, Piccolo Bistro transports you straight to Italy with its quaint, elegant atmosphere and romantic ambiance. The moment you step inside, you’re greeted by soft lighting, rustic decor, and the comforting scent of homemade pasta simmering in rich sauces. It feels like dining in a beloved grandmother's kitchen—warm, inviting, and steeped in tradition. The menu showcases authentic Italian dishes, each crafted with care and attention to detail. The pasta, made fresh daily, has that perfect al dente bite, reminiscent of family recipes passed down through generations. The service was impeccable, with staff who genuinely seemed to care about creating a memorable experience. You have the privilege to bring your own delightful wine to enhance the meal and adding to the overall charm. Piccolo Bistro is a hidden gem for anyone seeking a taste of Italy. It’s not just a meal; it’s a heartfelt experience that feels like home. Whether for a romantic dinner or a special occasion, this restaurant promises to deliver the warmth and flavors of Italy, making you feel like part of the family. Highly recommended!

    It’s been a while since I’ve eaten here and the food was always good but our dinner was better than I remembered! The food was excellent, especially the pappardelle with braised lamb! And I’m not even a fan of lamb!
