super tiny place that requires a reservation, and it's a BYOB drinks, but man oh man was it good. there is the basic menu but they have a wide variety of specials and appetizers and desserts. we had fried polenta in some kind of tomato-based sauce, which was delicious. then we had the cheese tortellini dish and a rack of lamb with gnocchi - both so good. definitely worth calling and making a reservation today!

Tortellini was excellent. Authentic Italian food made by Italian. Doesn't get much better. They have secret daily specials off the menu so make sure to ask

My girlfriend and I stopped in for dinner to celebrate her birthday recently. We've always adored Italian food and culture in general.

First off, the food here is absolutely amazing, easily the best Italian food we've ever had. Their daily menu is small but filled with Italian classics, but be sure to ask about the specials! We expected a small list of specials but it was quite the variety! I find this is usually a good sign, they likely adjust their specials to whatever they can get fresh.

My girlfriend had the Amatriciana and I had a Gnocchi with Truffle-infused Cream Sauce with Lamb Chops. After enjoying the food so much we knew we had to take home dessert, so we had the Tiramisu to go, It was amazing, as expected.

We both were both in awe. Food really tasted like it was cooked with love.

The atmosphere is very romantic, intimate, cozy, and homey. The people who operate it are very friendly as well.

It's a small place that seats at most 12-14 people, so be sure to make a reservation!

Overall, 10/10, best restaurant we've been to in a very long time!

This is a small restaurant. Make reservations in advance. Parking is tight. But it is so worth it! The food Chef Michael puts out is incredible! All homemade and nothing run of the mill! Exquisite cuisine! Different specials all the time. Well worth it.

Love this place!

Piccola is, without a doubt, the best local Italian restaurant in Tampa Bay. William carefully selects top-quality ingredients to create unforgettable dishes. His daily specials are so appealing, that it's hard to choose just one! The sauces are perfectly balanced, the flavors are exceptional, and the cozy, intimate atmosphere adds a warm and inviting charm to the dining experience. We love it!
