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!

needs to be darker to make it more of a sexy ambience. We came with our baby, so yes, we are aware. It’s also for families, but it had a very we are at the mall bright lights messy tables field. My chair had food stuck on it. They cleaned the pieces are Italian style, but the cheese is not imported. It’s toxic American cheese. It’s not true, imported, buffalo mozzarella if you want to have authentic wholesome Italian food, it needs to be imported and crafted from scratch. We ordered the yellow tomato bisque and it came out like pure cheese soup. We were sick for days. It’s very much a basic chain restaurant with mall quality food. This is not an authentic small production real ingredients restaurant.
