Exchange Square is one of London’s largest public spaces. It’s close to Liverpool Street Station, as well as Spitalfields, Bishopsgate and Moorgate. Exchange Square is home to Fernando Botero’s stunning Broadgate Venus. Specially commissioned for Broadgate and weighing five tonnes, this magnificent statue is a long-standing favourite across the neighbourhood.
Another Exchange Square neighbourhood favourite has got to be Piccolino, an authentic Italian Restaurant. A proud fixture of the London dining scene, Piccolino boasts an open kitchen and a terrace to the front of the restaurant for the ultimate alfresco experience.
Italy’s diverse cuisine is the heart and soul of Piccolino in Exchange Square. We visit the regions, meet the producers and are committed to sourcing the best quality ingredients. Our menu incorporates the best and freshest seasonal produce, Italian cheeses, meat and seafood, all delivering pure classic Italian flavours.

    Came for an Xmas do, food was fabulous and great quality, attentive service and good atmosphere. My only suggestion is to remove the low hanging lights, 3 of our party hit their heads on them getting up from the table. Would definitely come back.

    Delicious, fresh food served in a lovely setting. It was our daughter's 10th Birthday celebration and they wished her a happy birthday on arrival and brought her a complimentary ice cream with a candle in at the end, and joined in to sing happy birthday to her. The food did take a little longer than ideal with children, our youngest fell asleep between starter and main, but we did think the quality of the food was worth the wait. We also were so tired from our day out that we massively overtipped, forgetting about our booking deposit (and also missing the service charge included on the bill!) and the waiter did come back to let us know, even though we'd told him no change needed, which we thought was very kind and very honest. Overall a great meal out and we would definitely return on our next visit to London.

It's also lovely to hear that our waiter’s honesty made a positive impression on you. We look forward to welcoming you and your family back on your next visit to London!

    Venue was cold and part of our table had to sit in coats. Seemed understaff as waiting time throughout the meal was dragged out. The starter and mains we had were lukewarm/ cold and we were so hungry we ate the meal to avoid waiting any longer. Staff was friendly but felt disappointed overall as it was birthday meal out and didn’t get value for money. Would unfortunately not visit again despite enjoying other piccolino venues.

    A good place for a quick business lunch - or lunch with friends. All very solid - without being spectacular. Would visit again.
