This place is just okay. Everything is just "middle of the road". Nothing stood out.

we had a wonderful evening. All of our food was excellent. We'd love the pasta and the Oso Busco there.  I ordered a blackberry bramble to drink. My only comment was would be I don't feel it really had the required alcohol in it. It just tasted like a water drink with sweetener, and I did not even get a buzz off of two drinks. 
This restaurant is hands down one of the best restaurants I've ever been to in my entire life. Best food, best service best everything. 10/10 . I've been here many times and plan on coming back even more in the future .

Solid pasta but a roll of the dice when it comes to service. We've been a few times and have had drastically different experiences. We had multiple missed dishes and feigned apologies trying to blame us for mistakes that were clearly the waiters. Everyone has bad days but unfortunately pulling this from the rotation. Too bad.

The food was amazing and very flexible with ordering. The restaurant had a lot of vegetarian options. Portion size was adequate.

It was a great experience. The staff was attentive but not intrusive. They allowed us to chat at our leisure. The food was excellent. We had the calamari, pasta with lobster and crab and the lamb chops. The bread, olive oil and balsamic vinegar were also delicious. We would come back.

Let’s just start with the prices and be realistic here, that is some expensive pasta and maybe it is acceptable since it’s .. Beverly Hills. Salads were very nice and interesting. Great wine selection. We sat at the patio which was fun but perhaps would be a different dining experience if sat inside. The muscles very tasty. We’ve had many many different meals in greater LA, and usually were blown away by the flavours, even for a simple dish. Here we were left underwhelmed…something was missing ??♂️ the flavours just didn’t come through in our meals. Based on some of these reviews this is the place to be for pasta…I’m not so sure.
Service was great, though I would've appreciated a couple more check ins from our server (still great though). The cocktails were excellent, I had a chocolate martini while my partner had a more fruity martini. We began with two tortellini soups, which were impeccable. Perfectly sized and priced to begin our meal. The tortellini were stuffed with (I believe) prosciutto and unlike other places that serve similar dishes, you could really taste the stuffing. We then had our main course, the gnocchi for me and a boar based pasta dish for my partner (I don't remember the Italian name I'm sorry). Both were exceptional and the best pasta dish either of us have ever had(yes I know gnocchi is potato not pasta let me live). We ended with the tiramisu served with a wonderful anniversary message for us. This was one of the best dining experiences of my life.

One of the best Italian restaurants in LA. Massively underrated. Better pasta and less pretentious than the more popular spots.

Always had the very best experiences at Picolo Paradiso so you can imagine my surprise at the series of small & clumsy mistakes. Offered bread/water - which server forgot. Requested water: 1 w/ice & 1 w/out - both waters served a lot of ice. Dirty martinis that weren't. 1 missing salad fork from a wrapped set. When we asked for the specials, the server couldn't remember and left. Upon his return, he said "the menus is not ready yet but I will tell you". His descriptions were unintelligible. Charge for bread even though it was offered-not requested. Best for last: as we were finishing our coffee (check had been paid), the hostess came to our table to let us know we had to leave because she had other customers. Please note, we did not linger; we stayed only as long as it took the restaurant to prepare the food & us to eat. This is Beverly Hills with so many other restaurant choices and I intend to make them going forward.

We have dined at Piccolo Paradiso many times. Always a positive experience. Tonight was our first visit to the new bar section and it didn't disappoint. I need gluten-free food. The menu offers substitution of pasta to accommodate that requirement. The food was perfect. We will return even more often.
