120% would recommend - service was excellent. Would suggest ordering their signature pasta out of the cheese wheel that’s dished up at the table and the Tiramisu that they make at the table for you too. Great experience. All the food and wine was excellent. We’ll be back.

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.
