    This is absolutely worth a try! Family-owned and intimate table settings for a memorable date. The service was outstanding. John was charming and provided the specials for the week. The Osso bucco with risotto was cooked to fall-off the bone perfection. Gnocchi is house-made and all were soft as pillows. From the fresh salads to the mosiac cake and the most delicious cappuccino, the meal was phenomenal. No pictures of entrees because they were eaten too quickly! We will be back again soon! Burrata and Grilled Polenta as appetizers were delicious.

    Started with the large warm bread with the oil, balsamic and pesto and truly enjoy it. It was nice that they had lunch menu with low price and vegan dish now as well. All the food was delicious (had the special fettuccine Alfredo with sun-dried tomatoes, mushrooms and grilled chicken). Our server was such a delightful girl and my daughter loves her so much. Definitely an add-on to our family’s weekly to do list.

    Top top! One the best restaurants for quality dishes and a classy interior vibe. Sandra, the beautiful young lady is such a charming manager who made our kids so happy and taught them to enjoy healthy food with plenty of vegetables. Service was fantastic as well. Their lunch dishes are great with very reasonable price and many other options with a variety of flavors to satisfy our guests.

    We were disappointed. The place is small and cute, but ALL the dishes we ordered (apps & entrees) were below average in flavor & texture. Also, we were served 1 small plate of oil dip to share among 4 people with big pieces of bread, and the only 3 pieces of butter when there was 4 of us.

    I went to Piccolo Bistro with my husband and son for a Saturday afternoon lunch.  When we first walked in, the first thing we noticed was the warm and inviting surroundings. Things just got better when the food came out. We all ordered minestrone soup to start, since it was a cold day. It was so delicious. I had the Bronzino, my husband had the Veal Parmesan and my son ordered the rigatoni Bolognese. All were delicious. We were so happy with the quality of the food and the attention we received from our server. We will definitely be back again!
