Chester’s historic beauty and unique atmosphere make it one of the UK’s most popular places to visit. This ancient city is a must for history-lovers: walk the Roman walls following in the footsteps of Roman soldiers, and visit the largest Amphitheatre in Britain. It makes sense that with all that Roman history, Chester is also home to one of the area’s best Italian restaurants, Piccolino!
Piccolino, an authentic Italian Restaurant, is a proud fixture of the Chester dining scene. Located on Pepper Street, Piccolino in Chester boasts an open kitchen, cocktail bar, and wine boutique. Piccolino is also home to Chester’s very first Prosecco bar and alfresco terrace.
We visit the regions, meet the producers and are committed to sourcing the best quality ingredients. At Piccolino, passion for provenance is at the forefront of our menu, which incorporates the best and freshest seasonal produce, Italian cheeses, meat and seafood, all delivering pure classic Italian flavours.

    Early evening meal for a family birthday celebration. Restaurant was quiet as it was early, so atmosphere low key. Excellent food and service, topped of by staff putting a birthday candle on my sons Tiramisu - a nice touch. Overall very good, a really enjoyable dinner

    Positives: Everyone enjoyed their food! Bar staff were good. Not so good: wait staff - lots of staff but no service at the table. Waited over 30 mins and ended up having to get up and go ask someone to order mains. Then the exact same thing for dessert. And then the exact same issue when trying to pay! Based on the service I would not recommend and was a bit embarrassed as the person who had made the booking.
    Piccolino - ChesterResponded on February 5, 2025
    Hello Nia, I’m really sorry to hear about your experience with the service. That’s definitely not the level of hospitality we aim to provide, and I completely understand how frustrating it must have beenespecially since you were the one who made the booking. We truly appreciate your feedback and will be looking into what went wrong to make sure this doesn’t happen again. Your time and experience matter to us, and we’d love the chance to make things right. If you’re open to it, please reach out to us a via email so we can chat more about your visit. We really do hope you’ll give us another chance in the future. Best, Piccolino Team

    The food was excellent, especially the chicken livers on sourdough as a starter, and the ravioli with crab meat and prawns. The wine was a little in the expensive side, but acceptable as the restaurant has to cover a lot of expenses to cover, particularly in today’s financial climate. The staff were great, couldn’t have been better. I would highly recommend the restaurant.
    Piccolino - ChesterResponded on February 5, 2025
    Ciao Adrian, Wow, thanks so much for the awesome review! We’re thrilled you loved the food, great choice on the chicken livers and the crab & prawn ravioli! Those are definitely some favorites. We hear you on the wine pricing, and we appreciate your understanding. Keeping quality high while balancing costs is always a challenge, but we do our best to make it worth it! Huge shoutout to our team for making your experience even better, we’ll be sure to pass along your kind words. Hope to see you again soon for another great meal! see you soon
