Piccolo Buco Roma - set mere steps from Rome's famed Trevi Fountain - is where Cooper's Hawk Founder, Tim McEnery, first discovered Chef Luca Issa and his wonderful pizza. The ingredients were deceptively simple: creamy, indulgent mozzarella mingled with a bright and bold tomato sauce. But it was the extraordinary, tall crust - crisp on the outside yet cloud-like at the center - that won his heart. He couldn't wait to introduce America to a pizza this special!

    I had an amazing experience at Piccolo Buco! The pizza was authentic, with a perfect blend of flavors and a crispy crust that was just right. To top it off, their espresso martinis were fantastic! The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the staff were friendly and attentive. This spot is a must-visit for anyone who loves great pizza and delicious cocktails.

    This was our first time - decided to go someplace new for Christmas Eve. Everything we had was absolutely outstanding. The Godfather Old Fashioneds, hot, fresh bread, polenta with meatballs for appetizer, Pollo Positano and Giambotta Alla Toscana entrees accompanied by a glass of Saldo Red Blend. Absolute perfection - can't wait to go back.
