We went here one day a couple of months ago, we paid to split the check with 2 card and the owner expressed “seriously”. Now every time we go to the green and pass the place to go the other restaurants, it is a funny joke between us. Never again will I go here lmao.

Food was excellent. I had osso bucco special, meat was very moist, sauce was very balanced. My wife had carbonara special, pasta was cooked perfectly and sauce was rich. Highly recommend this restaurant. Service was exceptional.

They were able to take us without a reservation which was nice. Food is fine but not exceptional. Lacks that culinary school touch. Service was a bit slow that night as waiter walked by us multiple times when we needed the check.

Employees; some nice and welcoming, however, some are not. When we came into the restaurant, the table waiter greeted us and asked if he had a reservation, which we did not she made a face at us and led us to the only table without a tablecloth. When it was time to order our food, my child simply wanted grilled chicken with a side of mashed potatoes and the waiter acted all sassy like and said “ Well it’s not in the menu but…” and made a not so friendly face afterward. The food however was good but some dishes were too much over salted. The restaurant is nicely decorated and the bathrooms are clean but we are not coming back here ever again.

The pasta was the best pasta I’ve had in my entire life. Real ingredients real Italian food I can’t say enough about this genuine authentic restaurant chefs kiss!!!!! being someone that moved to ct from Philadelphia is hard to find food that can compete but they’ve outdone themselves at Piccolina

Celebrated my father's birthday there and it was a wonderful evening. Great food, good selection of wine and the servers were knowledgeable about the Italian dishes. It was quite noisy, but it's Italian❤️ and almost like we were in New York City again!❤️

I was really looking forward to trying La Piccolina with a friend and my two young children. Unfortunately, before we were even seated—while still waiting outside—a staff member approached us in a way that made us feel uncomfortable and unwelcome.
My toddler was singing happily, and instead of addressing it with kindness or professionalism, the server asked me, “Is she okay?”—as if something were wrong with my child simply for expressing joy. We weren’t being disruptive, and no other guests had complained. We were simply standing at the entrance.
I fully understand that restaurants serve a variety of customers, but families with children also deserve to enjoy a meal without judgment. The way this was handled was disappointing and could have been approached with much more care and understanding.
We ended up leaving and didn’t get to try the food we were excited about. I hope La Piccolina will take this as constructive feedback on how to better welcome families and treat all guests with dignity.

One visit and your idea of real Italian food will changed forever. My wife and I ate at La Piccolina the other night and were blown away. The service.....amazing! The atmosphere.....great! The food.....well, it changed our perspective of what real Italian food is. The pasta was alienate, the sauces were delicious and Sandra, the owner, took care of us the entire time. Do yourself a favor and make this your next date-night stop!
This restaurant is phenomenal. The food is made fresh and tastes amazing. The service is great, the owners make you feel like family. This is the best restaurant I have ever been to and I recommend it to everyone I know!

Very good service and food the pasta s E fagooli Was delicious. I had spaghetti meatballs, delicious service, amazing atmosphere calm and collective. I would definitely come here if you’re on the green it’s a cute restaurant right in the center of the green.

My son booked a table here for Mother’s Day. He requested an INSIDE table, as I have horrible allergies which can endure my asthma.
The owner refused to shut the door. She could not have been ruder if she tried, after my children requested the door be closed due to my health.
“That isn’t how we do business” was the answer she gave, after I had an asthma attack in the restaurant.
For the record, the pollen this Spring is the worst it has been in thirty years.
I would rate the service and atmosphere lower if it was possible.

I wish I could give this place zero stars. This was the absolute worst dining experience I’ve ever had the bleak misfortune of having.
My mom and I were the only two in the restaurant and it took 30 minutes for the brussel sprouts to arrive. When they did, we were met with the worst brussels I’ve ever had. Clearly just steamed, no seasoning, with raw garlic. Then, we waited another 40 minutes for two of the worst sandwiches I’ve ever tried (and this is after politely asking multiple times for them to check the food). I got the prosciutto flatbread, which consisted of little to no prosciutto. The small amount of prosciutto that made it onto the sandwich tasted like leather. On top of that, the burrata was dry and there was a crusty cheese melted onto the flatbread.
We could barely down the food and opted to leave it, to which a short angry woman came over and began guilting us for “making her throw it away”. I spoke up and told her about the terrible experience, attempting to do so in a considerate way, but she began to yell at me and insisted the food was the “best and freshest in the world.” I then told her that her customer service skills were horrible and she stormed into the back yelling, then slammed the plates somewhere in the kitchen.
Normally I don’t speak up or write reviews, especially as someone with extensive food service experience in both FOH and BOH, but the way we were treated was unacceptable and that woman needs serious mental help.
