Regular customers of Piccolo Trattoria. Food is fresh, tasty, and portions are large. Service is very good, and better than expected for a casual restaurant. Espresso is hot and fresh.

Unfortunately, the steak was very tough. The people at the bar were very loud and we could hear them at our table. The hostess told us to pick a table and sit down when we arrived. We did and then a server came over to us and asked us to get up and move because someone reserved that table. There was no reserve sign on the table. It was awkward and embarrassing in front of the other guests. We have visited this establishment many times and this was the first time we ever had a problem. We will definitely return to give them another try because of the many great experiences we had prior to this visit.
