   Check in at 7:20 for my 7:45 reservation , understanding I’m early the young women blonde says your table will be ready closer to 745 So we had an old fashion at the bar and was more or a straight whiskey not very good . No big deal , don’t 745 we go back to the front and they say table is not ready . So why accept reservations if they won’t honor the time slot you requested! So we proceed to go back to bar area and wait until 8:10 when we finally got our table . Food was a preset valentine menu which was fine had choices 3 course meal which was ok nothing to brag about overall ok but a bit overpriced maybe because of the location they get away with it but there are better Italian restaurants in Corona for far less and more authentic in Corona

   Made reservations for inside. I got inside, but shoved into a wing where they play pool. All the atmosphere was lost. Tables looked cheap. Cheap chairs. Squeezed in tight. On Valentine’s Day? This is why people think Valentines Day is a way for restaurants to rip people off. There was a huge line when we left. People made reservations, but couldn’t get seated. When this happens, the taste of the food doesn’t matter. You failed. And you will continue to until you decide to aim for quality over profit. Not worth it. Will not come back. Will advice you all to try something else. If they can’t make a solid experience on V Day, they are gonna low class any other day.

   We always have a good experience at Piccilino. It's our "go to" restaurant for special occasions, and enjoy happy hour and dining there regularly.

   Piccolinos was overwhelmed on Valentine’s Day. They had a pre-set menu which was good, but the service was extremely slow. The portions were not very big for a price of $105/person. We also had to send a drink back to the bar twice for being made incorrectly (my wife asked for tequila and was given vodka, twice…). The gentleman who I assume was the manager was seen several times yelling at his server staff on the floor with guests in full view and earshot. We love Piccolinos on a normal night but it was clear they oversold their Valentine’s Day special.

   We have eaten here several times for holidays and just an evening out. The food and service has always been very good. The prices are a little high and the noise level is a little high when the restaurant is crowded.

    Super cute classic Italian restaurant with an amazing menu. I ordered the caesar salad with anchovies, the seafood spaghetti, and the tiramisu. Everything was exceptional. The ambience was perfect for a date night..not too quiet, not too loud and the setting is moderately fancy/nicer but still casual enough. Service was so good, my waitress was so nice and attentive. I got seated near the bar though so it was a little busy with waiters and people walking back and forth, I would've liked to be inside more or not so close to where to the bar and door. Overall, a great meal, I will definitely be back to try other dishes.
