    Amanda did an outstanding job, as always. The food never disappoints. The outdoor dining is beautifully set up to camouflage the closeness to hwy 17! Dinner at Piccolo was a 12 out of 10 experience!!

    Always pleased with the food and especially with the service when we are able to be at one of Johnny’s tables. Love the meatballs, burrata salad, chicken piccata and veal Gorgonzola. Feel like we are back in Italy when we sit outside.

    Excellent all around. Very happy with the selection and taste of gluten free items...I got warm bread with a separate olive oil, garlic dipping dish. I had chicken piccata...it was delicious with GF penne pasta. My husband loved his meal ith perfectly cooked jumbo shrimp. Never have we ever been disappointed of years of dining here. Newly diagnosed gluten sensitivity...was very pleased I can still dine here with explicit attention to my sensitivity. Thank you!
