• Italian • Oakbrook Terrace

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!

    It was excellent but we were surprised that after being asked sparkling or still water upon sitting down (and having different choices) we were charged $16, $8 for a bottle of still and $8 for a bottle of sparkling!

    Another one for the books! This time I shared an afternoon with some grade school friends. We all turned 60 last year and with busy schedules, some of us were unable to get out. They both enjoyed the special pork chop and I thoroughly enjoyed the Prime Rib! Absolutely excellent on all aspects. I had Alex again as my server and he again had a pleasant personality while maintaining a level of professionalism. And that Kathy, my goodness, she is just totally awesome all by herself! Thanks again and I’ll see you next month!

    This is a really wonderful place quite close to Oakbrook shopping center. Our waitress Jodi was a terrific and everything we had was delicious. Positano hosted a gathering of old work colleagues and while none of us had been here before, we are agreed we are coming back. Give Positano's a try, you will not be disappointed.

    The quality of food here is excellent. The service was very attentive throughout the night. The only negative thing I would have to say is that the sometimes the mean serving the meat tableside were unaware of the juices from the meat splattering onto us or the table as they carved the meat for us. Both my husband and I were worried that our clothes and/or jackets would get stained. I did get a couple of splatters on my top by one of them but quickly did my best to get it with some water. The delicious food though is undeniable. Before I remember them stating that the meat was grassfed...but I don't hear them saying that anymore nor do I see it on their website. Has this changed?
