What a wonderful and authentic Italian experience with terrific ambience and lovely staff! The food was delightful -stuffed zucchini flowers and caprese salad ,followed by tagliatelle with wild boar ragu and ravioli as our main courses .Finished off with a lovely tiramisu and double espressos - - and I had a Merlot grappa to end a wonderful dinner. Someone must have contacted the restaurant - - a candlelit treat was brought out with the whole restaurant singing happy birthday to me— a great evening!

We have eaten there several times. Everything was very good. Most important, although they had originally assigned us a very noisy table despite my request for a quiet one, they allowed us to choose a table in a quiet corner and that made for a huge difference.

Piccola Cucina never disappoints. Personnel is kind and attentive, the food is outstanding and the noise is decent. My go-to place when I crave Italian food! Burrata is always fresh and there are so many pastas that you can go several times in a row without eating the same thing. Alfio is the sweetest and kindest host, but everyone is really great.

Dinner was wonderful, mostly because our waitstaff Elideth was able to make the perfect wine and food recommendations. Our table was in the middle of what is a small space, so it felt crowded. But the delicious meal and wonderful service made up for that.
