   Piccolino is truly a "little gem"..... The menu has much to choose from and the dishes are great!!... not just in presentation but in flavor and freshness... from fish, to meat, to pasta... delizioso Ernie, the new owner, is very friendly and inviting... all the staff from the hostess to the wait staff are super... attentive and accommodating.... The eggplant parm is fantastic... it is only shown on the menu for an entree.... but we would ask them to add it back on the menu as an appetizer as well.... super fresh and light and delicious! Don't fill up on the bread.... but it will be hard not to keep asking for more.... one of the closest I have had here in Florida since leaving The Bronx!!! Highly recommend this "little gem" for a night out with friends or just to have a good meal, and a good time, on your own....

   We haven't been here since the new owners and we were not disappointed! My friend and I had the eggplant parm and it was perfectly cooked, cut thinly, nice and crispy and flavorful. Our husbands had veal parm and said it was also delicious. I got the caesar salad which was, again, excellent with just the right amount of dressing. The rolls which were brought to the table when we sat down were also very good. The owner, Louis, came to our table to make sure everything was all right, and also was at the door to say goodbye and thank us for coming in. I love going to a non-chain restaurant and this is the one that is the best!

   Piccolino was recommended by a friend, and I am glad that I went. The food was phenomenal, first rate! I had the pork chop, and I must say that it was by far the BEST pork chop dish that I have had. I definitely will be going back.

   Great hidden treasure.... food was excellent and all ingredients were fresh and tasty. This little hidden treasure is a friendly, warm and cozy place for an enjoyable night out just for two or with friends.... It was a pleasure to be able to sit and converse without all the background noise.... a quiet and "at home" environment. Service was excellent and attentive. The owner, Ernie, is a great host and made sure to come by and check how our experience was going..... Highly recommend you try out this little gem of a restaurant.

   We were pleasantly surprised by EVERYTHING here. The restaurant was quiet, yet lively. The food was SO good. A member of our party said the Saltimbocca was the best he had ever had. Everyone said that they would be back soon.

    New owner / huge increase in pricing . Very slow service . Food arrived cold . Chicken franchise good but cold : vegetables burnt / will not be going back
    

    Piccolino Italian RistoranteResponded on March 6, 2025

    Unlike other vegetables you may have had, our vegetables are fresh, roasted, and caramelized to enhance flavor—far from burnt. If you didn’t recognize the difference, that’s unfortunate. If your food arrived cold, the proper thing to do would have been to address it with our staff so we could fix it immediately, rather than leaving a complaint after the fact. We take pride in our quality, and our pricing reflects that. As for pricing, it reflects the high-quality ingredients we use and freshness. Like everywhere, costs have risen this past year, but we remain committed to delivering the best. Thank you for your feedback
