Overall Experience would receive five stars. The service and food was outstanding, I would say the only drawback would be parking.

One of our favorite restaurants, Piccolo Mondo continues to provide excellent food and service at an acceptable price. I ordered the grigliata di pesce, my companions canelone Veneziana and spaghetti al frutti de mare. All were perfectly prepared and served, hot and all at the same time. Cannoli for dessert, without extra toppings as we requested. This restaurant continues to be the most consistently excellent in its food, service and surroundings.

The food was excellent. The service was friendly and helpful, and the server made sure we were served in plenty of time to enjoy dinner and still make an evening performance at Court Theater. We will most definitely return to Piccolo Mndo in the future.
