" My partner and I celebrated our anniversary at Piccolo and it was a splendid choice! The veal parmesan was out of this world; perhaps the best I've had in Florida. The addition of a bottle of their recommended wine only heightened the experience. The intimate atmosphere was perfect for what we wanted, but because the restaurant is so small, we had to book well in advance. I can’t wait to see what they offer next season; it really felt like we were dining at a beloved family member's home! " (*Curated Review*)

" Last Sunday we decided to finally check out Piccolo after hearing lots of rave reviews. It's a hidden gem with proper Italian flair! The menu is simple yet packs a punch in flavors, especially with dishes like the veal parmesan and fettuccine alfredo. The service was attentive and friendly; our server was very knowledgeable about the menu! We might have to make this our regular dinner spot given how splendid everything was. Definitely worth the trip! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at Piccolo felt like being transported to Italy. The dishes are crafted with so much passion; you can truly taste the love that goes into each bite. We shared multiple entrees including the veal piccata and spaghetti with bolognese, and they were both outstanding. The portion sizes were great too, generous enough to fill you up without feeling overstuffed. The only issue was with the seating; it's quite snug. However, that contributed to the charming, family-like atmosphere. I’ll definitely be returning soon with friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely evening at Piccolo! The ambiance was warm, giving off a homely feeling that made us feel comfortable as soon as we walked in. The highlight for me was definitely the fresh pasta. It was like nothing I’ve had before; the texture was perfect! We also shared a couple of appetizers which were divine. I enjoyed a glass of wine recommended by our server, and it completed the experience perfectly. The only feedback is to encourage them to consider expanding their seating since it's often booked solid! " (*Curated Review*)

" Started a new tradition with my family by dining at Piccolo every Sunday. The flavors are unparalleled, especially in their gnocchi and ravioli filled with ricotta. The chef is welcoming, often stopping by our table to chat and recommend wines that complement our meals perfectly. Each time has been an absolute delight and I cherish the family-style atmosphere they create. Reservations are definitely a must; the place is always buzzing with happy diners. We plan to indulge in their desserts next visit, as I’ve heard they are heavenly! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're after authentic Italian, then you need to try Piccolo! We recently held a family dinner here, and it was a resounding success. Every dish was prepared with care and exemplified home-cooked flavor that reminded us of family gatherings back home. Their portion sizes were also just right—not too much yet enough to satisfy our appetite, which was refreshing. Service was friendly and we were very well taken care of. Can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at Piccolo was a delightful experience for me and my wife. The food was top-notch and quite authentic. We loved the veal ravioli, which was rich and satisfying. The atmosphere was intimate, and we felt welcomed. We appreciated that the menu focused on quality over quantity. Be sure to try the house-made limoncello dessert; it was a perfect end to our meal. I can’t express enough about the excellent service we received; we left feeling like we had made friends in the staff! " (*Curated Review*)
