    Cannot believe I just discovered this sweet little Bistro! Planning on family lunch for Easter and many friends have recommended Piccolo Bistro located in the heart of downtown, with a big parking lot behind it. The decor feels cozy, warm, and welcoming with beautiful outdoor patio as well. John, the owner was super gracious by offering 6 of us lunch menu with free dessert! This is a must try in northern NJ, right next to the train station, conveniently located for our guests from the city!

    We go there often and the food is consistently delicious. In the warm weather it is so nice to sit outside in their courtyard.

    This is absolutely worth a try! Family-owned and intimate table settings for a memorable date. The service was outstanding. John was charming and provided the specials for the week. The Osso bucco with risotto was cooked to fall-off the bone perfection. Gnocchi is house-made and all were soft as pillows. From the fresh salads to the mosiac cake and the most delicious cappuccino, the meal was phenomenal. No pictures of entrees because they were eaten too quickly! We will be back again soon! Burrata and Grilled Polenta as appetizers were delicious.

    Top top! One the best restaurants for quality dishes and a classy interior vibe. Sandra, the beautiful young lady is such a charming manager who made our kids so happy and taught them to enjoy healthy food with plenty of vegetables. Service was fantastic as well. Their lunch dishes are great with very reasonable price and many other options with a variety of flavors to satisfy our guests.

    Started with the large warm bread with the oil, balsamic and pesto and truly enjoy it. It was nice that they had lunch menu with low price and vegan dish now as well. All the food was delicious (had the special fettuccine Alfredo with sun-dried tomatoes, mushrooms and grilled chicken). Our server was such a delightful girl and my daughter loves her so much. Definitely an add-on to our family’s weekly to do list.

    We were disappointed. The place is small and cute, but ALL the dishes we ordered (apps & entrees) were below average in flavor & texture. Also, we were served 1 small plate of oil dip to share among 4 people with big pieces of bread, and the only 3 pieces of butter when there was 4 of us.
