Best Sicilian Restaurants in DUMBO

Great quality - neighborhood spot vibe. Prices are a little high.

I will always reccomend Piccola in every lifetime and every opportunity when the occasion arises. I particularly love this location for the feel. Yes, the restaurant is undoubtedly small and tiny, but because of this with the combination of excellent and warm service, it feels like you’re at a friends apartment who’s an excellent host having dinner. It is an unbeatable, unique experience. My partner and I came in September of 2024 during a trip to NYC and called it the meal of our year. We went yesterday for Valentine’s Day and it was show-stopping yet again. The pasta was so incredibly fresh and flavorful. The care, love, and time it takes to make the noodles to curating the dish was tasted, loved, and appreciated. We had two specials: the Lobster Linguine and the Apple Tart (unsure if it was a tart—it was demolished too quickly to really tell.) The Linguine was otherworldly, perfectly sauced and had a decent amount of lobster. Wild Ragú is a must, it’s why we come after all. And of course, table side made Tiramisu to finish because we would be dumb not to (and so shall you). I can’t wait come back to New York to come back to Piccola. I’d fly spirit just to come back.

Lovely experience and the food was absolutely amazing! I loved being sang happy birthday and the staff helped me choose some great whine! I loved going there!

Great neighborhood spot that we travel to form a different neighborhood. We loved this space when it was Prime Meats and are happy that they have kept the interior largely intact. Pizza was delicious as were the drinks and apps we ordered. The service was lovely and the general vibe was buzzy but relaxed. Am already looking forward to our next visit.
