   I dined with friends, and wow it was lovely! Our server Lily (I believe her name was) was outstanding she went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing time with you! She had good knowledge of food and the menu! Very refreshing to see someone seem like they enjoy their job. The food was reasonably priced and outstanding! Cannot wait to return

   First time for all 6 of us at this beautiful restaurant. We all absolutely loved it! Great food, great atmosphere and great service. They deserve all their 5 star ratings. The menu is also very extensive with a great range of Italian wines. The mocktails were also excellent. Especially the passion fruit one.

   Food was very good just the vegetables seemed like they had been sitting around for a while. The wine and service was excellent.

   I booked a table for Mothers Day. We were shown to the table and given menus. Thought it odd that there was only a standard menu considering it was MD and there was not a Sunday lunch on the menu, maybe because it was Mother’s Day. The service was shocking My husbands £45.00 bottle of wine was poured and missed the glass. Gin arrived without ice. The first one ordered came with ice as you would expect. Our food order was taken and we were asked about Allergens and we told the waitress about the allergens. Then another waitress came to take drinks order but we’d already ordered with another waitress. We were asked again about allergens even though our order had already been taken. Not a big deal but already been served by at least 3 different waiters. The starters came. My starter Tartare di Tonno was nothing like the photograph in the menu that appeared to have a twirl sticking out of it. My starter came with what resembled a broken Poppadom on the plate. Still, everyone agreed the food had a good flavour. Next the mains. Two of us had Calves Liver that looked like it had been microwaved due to dry splattered gravy around the plate edges. Osso Buco & risotto swimming in liquid. Also looked microwaved. Lasagna looked microwaved. The presentation was appalling. I saw roast dinners coming out. I enquired about the roast and it transpired we had not been given MD menus from the outset or told about Sunday roast. The manager was engrossed with a very loud diner at the next table who seemed intent on letting everyone know he spoke Italian! Extremely invasive and the manager kept sitting with him and hugging his shoulders. I complained about the menu debacle and the service. The manager sent a waitress over to do his dirty work! She said the service was being taken off and offered desert and Limoncello that was declined. So disappointing. Ps what is the untidy opening to what looks like a kitchen for? No cooking going on there! Never again. The Ivy every time for us!

   Great lunch, first time visiting, went full Italian rather than the Sunday lunch which did look very tempting (other tables were enjoying) Good food and good service, our waitress Rosie was attentive and friendly - thank you. Truly appreciated as I was treating my parents to a birthday lunch.

   We couldn’t have had a better first experience at Piccolino, 5 of us including my 9 year old had a great selection of food to choose from everyone found their meals delicious with generous meals comfortably generous portions and the service was second to none. It’s great when you’re spending that little bit more to know you’re guaranteed good service as it really makes the meal what it is.

    We didn’t know quite what to expect but WOW! what a fabulous place. We went early on a Friday evening for our wedding anniversary treat so we were hoping for something a bit better than your average pizza restaurant. This was outstanding, we treated ourselves to the more expensive dishes and were very impressed by the quality and presentation of the food. Add to that the very attentive staff and the fact that everyone in the restaurant was chatting and enjoying themselves created a really good ambiance. We’re definitely going back and will take friends with us. Thank you Piccolinos for giving us a lovely anniversary memory.
