Excellent! The chicken marsala was amazing, the wine was really good, even the dessert was fantastic. Can't say enough good things. We'll definitely be going back again and again.Kid-friendliness: Not really kid friendly
We held our company Christmas dinner here and EVERYTHING was delicious! While this is one of or regular spots most of our employees has never been here, and they all were so happy to find a new spot eat at regularly now.We really wanted to support a small business and we’re very happy we did. Clay, our server gave us exceptional service !
Our first time here. We both really enjoyed our pasta. Good value for the food when you factor in the bread and salad and dessert. We plan to return!

Omg - the people here are lovely and sweet and try so hard, bless their hearts. The bruschetta was fresh and plentiful and delicious - but had too much vinegar. Needed more olive oil to balance it out. Same with the salad, which seemed to be topped with Kraft parmesan sawdust. (please switch to fresh). And the lasagna looked good but - well - seemed to not taste of anything. I suggest adding olive oil, basil, fresh parmesan cheese and fresh garlic. Very happy with the moderately priced glasses of Chianti.But the worst thing was the atmosphere. Just a box. Almost no charm. Owners - if you read this - for God's sake paint it a warm shade of orange or red, update the old stale paintings with baskets or something else, get rid of the curved harsh lighting things on the sides of the ceiling (or replace the light bulbs with SOFT WARM light bulbs), add soft Italian music and put red checkered table cloths on the tables. I bet $900 spent on the interior would improve it SO MUCH. We liked you and enjoyed our meal anyway because you were so cheerful (and thank you for the complimentary cannoli). A little sprucing up of the food and atmosphere and you'll have a line out your door.Ciao!Parking: Lots of free parking.

Georgina is Awesome! Great customer service and always has a beautiful smile. Abraham is first class on his delicious dishes melt in your mouth. Love that they have outdoor dining.
I had the gluten-free Alfredo shrimp pasta that came with a salad and dessert. It was very good, as was the service. I Google mapped gluten-free Italian near me. It wasn't wasn't far from where I was at Hoag, so I decided to give it a shot and glad I did.Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free pasta

We had our anniversary dinner here recently. We enjoyed the quick service, the quite ambiance, and the great food.We had the calamari and the Milanese, the pink (vodka sauce), and the fettuccini and everything was great. We will be coming back for sure.

This place checks all the boxes. Bomb food. Amazing service. Fresh ingredients. Packed dining room. Great serving sizes. And affordable prices.My friend n I popped in here after an evening at the horse stables. I've always wanted to come in here but always forgot about it. And it's totally sitting among a handful of great restaurants in this strip. From Mediterranean to Mexican food. Asian cuisine to Italian. And the pizza brewery. One has some great choices!As for this location. It's gotta be one of the best Italian spots in HB. Not to mention super affordable! Between endless refills for his soda, a glass of red for me, Antipasto appetizer, two entrees with salads, and endless bread our tab was $72. Not to mention we didn't have to come in here all hoity-toity. And was still treated with amazing service.I "built my own" pasta because I saw the vodka (pink) sauce and holy smokes! So good! So saucey! I ate the whole thing. Plus extra sauce for dipping more bread. My buddy ordered the chicken & mushroom dish and that too was amazing! Very large portion. Probably big enough to share.The salads were very fresh and comes with their home made house sweet vinaigrette. I asked for extra on the side but it totally wasn't needed.This places blows the politically incorrect Italian restaurant down the street way out of the water. And this place doesn't have mixed reviews! This is a local favorite and as a local I wish I tried them sooner.Idk about you. But I am coming back!

Don't know why we haven't noticed this little gem before today but it has never come across Yelp for us. We noticed it was highly rated and the location is near us. The only way we came across it was wife searched "best fettuccine" and it came up. I asked the wait staff how long has the restaurant had been opened and she said "6 years!" Well it took us a long time to discover it but now that we know it's here we will be frequent patrons. The staff is super friendly and the food is sooo goood!! The decor was cute and clean. I got the docs favorite and loved it. Wife got the spaghetti and meatballs and will get it again too. Prices are super reasonable and hearty portions. The bread was crispy and warm. Can't say enough good things about this place. May be our new favorite Italian restaurant!
Ptuaghhh!! Never again. Ever. The pasta was ok. Nothing memorable. But, the pretentious, petulant, and condescending attitude of their very poorly trained staff if notorious. They have no idea of what customer service is. Sadly, that, combined with a very arrogant "we charge for Parmesan" (!!) did it for me. Never again.

Everything I've ordered here has been delicious. I can tell the staff truly care about your whole experience and provide superb service. The outdoor covered patio is also so cute and a great extension to the restaurant if you prefer outdoor dining like I do. 10/10 would recommend coming here!

Piccolo Stivale is an absolutely fantastic restaurant. The staff are quick and kind throughout the whole experience, and the food itself is phenomenal. The fettuccine alfredo here was the best I have ever had, and the complimentary dessert is great too. I highly recommend Piccolo Stivale to anyone that has the ability to eat there.

Delicious food, nice quaint ambiance and excellent prices. We will be back. I could tell they really actually cared about whether we liked the food. Delish!

This is real and legit Italian food - the way it should be made. Small intimate and very personal, if you want to eat real Italian cuisine, this is the place. Wine is well priced, the chef often serves you and you can sit inside or out. We must have eaten there more than 20 times and never had a bad experience. Cannot recommend enough.Parking: Opposite Home Depot in Magnolia so there is plenty of free parking.
