   First time trying Piccolo Buco with my girlfriend and we loved it! The restaurant has a very open layout, you sit quite close to everyone else which we didn’t love. That said, everything else about the restaurant was fantastic. The meatballs, red sauce margarita pizza, Pappardelle with Short Rib Bolognese, and Norwegian Salmon were all delicious. Waitress was very professional and kind, would definitely recommend trying this place!

   Service was great! We ordered Vegan pizza with cheese with almost no eggplant but generous with zucchini. We’ve had the pizza before and there’s always been equal amounts of veggies but not this time.

   We had a party of 4 and started with aranchini which was great, then margheriti pizza. we are shared these as apps. then ordered the meat crudite which was amazing. Finally ordered cavetilli with mushrooms. Again we all shared these with a great bottle of wine. Wonderful food. Great server Anjelica I think was her name. We will definitely be back for one of our girls luncheons. Highly recommend.

   It was fine…not bad but nothing special. We ordered the “yellow” veggie pizza as an appetizer . It black garlic was delicious but we were confused about the yellow tomato sauce…it seemed more like olive oil. Ordered the eggplant park for an entree and that was good. Everything’s was good..just not great or special

   Me and my friends dined at Piccolo Buco, last Saturday. Three of us ordered the salmon, but unfortunately, we were extremely disappointed with the taste—it was off, and we couldn’t eat it. We truly appreciate how nice our server handled the situation, offering us the chance to choose something else from the menu. This was much appreciated, and we ended up enjoying our meal after that. However, I’d also like to mention an issue regarding our reservation. We were running 17 minutes late due to traffic, but I had called ahead to inform them of the situation, and I was assured that there was a 15-minute grace period. Unfortunately, after being two minutes later than that, our reservation was cancelled. Though we were later accommodated, this situation was a bit stressful, and it took away from the overall experience. Despite these issues, we appreciate the friendly service and your willingness to make things right with the menu change. I wanted to provide this feedback in hopes of improving the experience for future guests.

   Food was good. But atmosphere was terrible. There was no vibe at all and it was super loud. For a decent restaurant, no bread was served. It was really loud and all the tables were on top of each other. Service was average at best. Won’t return.

   The food is excellent. The tables are too close together for our liking. Unfortunately the waiter forgot the beer and it was flat when he served the (it was removed from the bill). Chopped salad is delicious and generous portions. Chicken Parmesan, chicken mushroom pasta and vegetable pizza were generous portions and fresh herbs delicious. Tiramisu was also delicious. Would definitely recommend with a reservation!

    Food was delicious Restaurant was cold. Had to wear my coat the whole time Ordered salad and pizza at the same time. They came to the table at the same time. We told the waiter we were sharing the pizza but he must have not understood the salad was an appetizer
