" The picturesque decor of Ristorante Piccolo encapsulates Italian culture right in Georgetown. My friends and I were delighted by the hospitality shown by the staff, and we were instantly offered a lovely outdoor table. Each person in our party tried something different, and we all agreed—everything was delightful! My mushroom ravioli was particularly memorable, bursting with flavor. While the food took some time, the ambiance made it easy to relax and enjoy ourselves! " (*Curated Review*)

" Ristorante Piccolo is truly a hidden gem! The restaurant embodies authentic Italian culture. The owner made us feel right at home, showcasing a passion for food and hospitality. My seafood fettuccine was magnificent, while the garlic bread was an absolute must-have. The entire vibe was warm and inviting, ideal for a casual night out with friends or a romantic dinner. I’ll certainly return, this place deserves a full 5 stars! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our visit to Ristorante Piccolo was planned as a splurge, and it felt worth every penny! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and welcoming. We started with the appetizers, bruschetta and calamari, followed by the main courses of pasta and pizza that truly tasted authentic. Our server was attentive and professional, making the meal even more enjoyable. We concluded with their famed tiramisu, which was rich without being overly sweet—a true delight! We left feeling full and satisfied. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful hidden gem! The quaint vibe of Ristorante Piccolo makes it a must-visit. We were seated outdoors, where the view was as charming as the food. I highly recommend the calamari fritti as an appetizer—it’s the best I’ve ever had! For mains, we tried the fettuccine ocean, which was loaded with seafood. My only complaint would be that the portions were a bit on the smaller side for the price. Overall, though, I thoroughly enjoyed my dining experience here and would happily return again. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had lunch at Ristorante Piccolo today and it didn't meet my expectations. The pasta was underwhelming, lacking the richness I anticipated, but the service was friendly which I appreciated. The ambiance was cozy, so that’s a plus! Overall, I would rate it a 3 because the meal didn’t wow me as expected; I might give it another chance down the road. " (*Curated Review*)

" Unforgettable dining experience at Ristorante Piccolo! The atmosphere was enchanting—strings of lights added a magical feel. The food was incredible; I had the meatballs and pasta, which had authentic flavors reminiscent of Italian kitchens. Our server was knowledgeable, providing great recommendations that elevated the evening. From start to finish, it was an experience I could not have asked for more! Highly recommend for anyone seeking exceptional Italian food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was recommended Ristorante Piccolo by a friend and it did not disappoint! From the moment we arrived, the staff greeted us warmly and made us feel at home. I ordered the penne alla vodka, which tasted just like the dish I had in Italy. My friends got different pizzas, which they raved about as well. The atmosphere, accented by soft music and fantastic decor, enhances the whole experience. This is definitely a place I will be coming back to often! " (*Curated Review*)
