Piccolino

I went to Piccolino 2 weeks ago and really enjoyed it. They have a nice outdoor space, heated so you can enjoy it even in cold weather.
Staff were really friendly and all italians which is nice for an Italian restaurant. The inside is quite cosy and modern and the food is delicious. I also really enjoyed the cocktails.

I visited here today for a work’s Christmas lunch. Whilst the general décor and ambiance of the place are up to the expected standard of this higher end Italian restaurant, for me a few things let the place down in terms of final execution and service.
We were a largish group of 12 but expected as we had booked a table the previous week. With this in mind it was a bit disappointing when one of our starters was forgotten but even more disappointing is there were only two different options the entire group chose.
Incidentally my starter of prosciutto and pear salad was perfectly dressed and drizzled lovingly with pine nuts was delicious and I could have happily eaten a never ending bowl of it.
Further disappointment, however, for me (and hilarity for my colleagues) after choosing the turkey (well it was a Christmas dinner after all) and my allotted portion was easily half the size of my fellow diners who had chosen the same option.
My dessert of Panetone bread and butter pudding was a welcome treat but for me the oversight on the starter and the disproportionate portions makes me feel the kitchen lacks the same refinement and service that front of house provide.
At just under £20 for three courses from the set menu I cannot grumble about value for money and to confirm all three courses were a great quality. I’d just like all plates out on time please and give everyone the same amount. Then I might be able to give the extra star that the reputation preceding Piccolino suggests it deserves.

Used to be good
Kinda feels like a canteen. Loud people and music, average dishes, mine was a 16 quid dry chicken and mushroom.

Eaten here a few times and never had a bad meal. Real nice décor inside, great cocktails and the food was reasonably priced but great quality too.

Excellent service and wonderful food slightly pricey at £55 for lunch for two, but it is worth the money

Excellent place! Fabulous atmosphere — lovely décor. really can’t fault it! The food is delicious and the choice of wines is really good. The Trofiette con pollo is lovely: o) Go there… it’s worth it!

Excellant Italian restaurant, great food and good service. would recommend if going to anything at NIA, it’s a 5 min walk so great for a pre concert dinner
