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!

Good service. Great Branzino. Seafood pasta was average or meh, not nearly as good as the lobster dish from the summer. Bring it back! Octopus was good but overpriced. Good wine pairing. Great dessert. Solid bartender & service. Biggest issue is value. To spend $275 on a dinner for 2 on Tuesday night is TOO MUCH.

Our first visit to Perry’s was truly memorable. Andrew, our waiter, was incredibly helpful and so patient with us throughout the evening. We were there to celebrate my husband’s birthday, and the experience made it even more special. The food was absolutely delicious, and it warmed our hearts. We’re definitely looking forward to coming back again.

Every time we dine at Petite Vie we have an amazing experience. Last night was no exception. The service was excellent and the food was absolutely delicious. We would highly recommend this restaurant and wish that we had something similar in Naperville! This is our go-to restaurant whenever we have the time to travel a little further for dinner.
