Last night we visited Piccolino and had a really nice experience. The atmosphere was beautiful and very cozy. The food was delicious overall, the truffle pasta was a bit overcooked at first but they replaced it straight away. The second one was still a little soft but overall everything was enjoyable. The service was friendly, helpful and attentive which made the experience even better.
What a beautiful restaurant and always has a lovely vibe, however yesterday was super special as it was dressed festive and had a lovely Xmas feeling. We ate from the festive menu and was not disappointed! The turkey roast dinner was especially delicious and very tasty. We was served by Remus and José, as per usual their service was second to none. Even though the restaurant was busy José had time to chat to us and made us feel like we was the only ones there, a true credit to the team. Looking forward to returning.
We came for a birthday meal for 9 people and it couldn’t have been better! The food was amazing, came out promptly, and we were served by the lovely José who made the evening incredibly special! He was on top of everything and accommodated every request, really recommend for a special occasion :) Thanks José for such an unforgettable night!
Fabulous meal for Dad’s 80th. This is my favourite Piccolino restaurant but it was spoiled when a lot of my favourite dishes were taken off. I’m delighted to say that when we went today the menu has changed and a lot of the popular dishes have returned. My dad said his steak was the best he’s ever had. The staff are extremely present and the service is excellent. Special mention to Cristina and Jennifer who always make my dad and I welcome. Definitely recommend it.
I have dined here on several previous occasions and always very much enjoyed doing so. On this occasion I attended a Dinner event held in the Private Dining Room hosted by the IWFS (The International Wine & Food Society). The three course bespoke menu, comprised delicious authentic rustic dishes, which were much enjoyed by our group. We were very well looked after by Christina, Navine & team! Nothing was too much trouble for them. Their customer facing skills are to be applauded!👏 I am very much looking forward to my next visit! 👌👍😋🙂
