    Erika is our favorite host in NYC. She welcomes guests and insures you have a wonderful evening. The staff is well trained and can be very helpful with the menu. The food is terrific especially the pasta dishes. Erika will check on your table during the evening. Her energy and customer care are A+. We can’t wait for our next visit and meal at Piccola Cucina!!

    If you’re looking for an authentic Italian dining experience, look no further. I had the cavatelli with sausage, and it was absolutely incredible—easily one of the best meals I’ve ever had. The service was impeccable; the staff made the evening feel special without being overbearing. The candlelit ambiance in the evening added such a warm and intimate touch, making it perfect for a cozy night out. And the tiramisu? Simply to die for. I’m not even a tiramisu fan, but this one changed my mind entirely. I can’t recommend this place enough—it’s a gem I’ll definitely return to!

    This is an obviously popular Upper East Side gem of a restaurant that we stumbled on largely by accident after spending the morning at The Met and making our way back to our hotel in midtown. The food, particularly the carpaccio and the ravioli were outstanding. And it was easy to find wines by the glass to go with our meal. We were particularly taken with the family style ambience that treated a couple of strangers from California, like us, as if we were regulars or members of the family, which we don’t often find in NYC. The service was efficient without hovering, and the overall atmosphere created a memorable dining experience, which we’ll be returning to in the future and will be recommending to friends and family visiting NYC. Highly recommended.
