I’ll start by saying our server was good, he ended up getting busy with other tables and it was awkward when the booth next to us ordered the table side Caesar, we were blocked in with the cart… We had beef Arancini to start, it had a strange smell to it, maybe it had been frozen, it was bland. Garlic bread was okay. I got the caesar salad, I wish there was pepper on the table as it could’ve used it. I ordered the Carbonara di Mare, the scallops and shrimp were cooked well, the sauce was bland. My husband ordered the gnocchi Romani, the gnocchi were good and the sauce was just okay, again bland. Somewhere between our apps and dinner coming out it felt like the air had been turned off and it was getting to be quite warm near the windows. We got our dessert to go as we were uncomfortably warm. The tiramisu was okay, I got the limoncello mascarpone cake, the cake was soft and the filling tasted great, not sure what red sauce they put on it maybe strawberry, could’ve done without it. Not a place we’ll rush back to unfortunately.

I went here with my girlfriend (a very close friend of mine) on Sunday, July 27th 2025. The food was amazing and our waiter Tony P. was super sweet, very outgoing, he had us laughing non-stop! The experience overall was one of the best I've ever had at a restaurant. The Carbonara Di Mare with the scallops was mouthwatering! I'll definitely be coming back, maybe with the husband next time.

We had an absolutely delicious dinner for my birthday. We had the best waiter (Tony)! The chef is so welcoming and talented. We felt so enjoyed ourselves! We will be back.

I found myself in Manchester and walked in Piccola Ristorante. Pleasant find with welcoming service. Chicken piccata was fresh and clean in taste. Greek salad was t traditional sans lettuce but included crumbled feta and their own dressing. Knowledgable of the wines and decent Italian selection of reds. Very impressed and enjoyable.

We had the best dining experience today with Piccola. Our server , Tony was fantastic in explaining the regional differences in pastas to our kids. Food was sublime and absolutely massive quantities. We will definitely add this to our places to hit whenever we are in town. A great dining experience.

Waiter forgot our order. Sausage was dried out meatballs no flavor, fettuccine was dry other was mushy, wasn’t happy about the added prices especially since everything was terrible. Including the salad that the waiter also forgot. This place used to be good, better off going to Olive Garden where it’s always good and reasonably priced, or any of the other places around, just stay away from this one.

Food was excellent! Kitchen was amazing about working with dietary restrictions. Atmosphere was clean and beautiful, though the music selection was a little cheesy but on theme for Italian I guess. Server was kind of eccentric and at times almost argumentative about personal preferences. He was nice enough but just a little much at times. I would probably go back but my wife probably wouldnt, based on waitstaff alone. Overall it was a really good meal and a good experience. Certainly well worth 4 stars.

My husband and I decided to treat ourselves to a delicious Italian dinner after a two day vacation with our 4.5 year old. We called an hour ahead and we were able to make a reservation by the window. Our server, Abigail was so friendly and accommodating. She let us know whatever our daughter wanted for dinner she would ring it in as a kids portion and price. I had the burrata pizza and Cesar salad, my daughter had buttered noodles and my husband had the chicken Parm. Everything was prepared beautifully. I was stealing bites of my daughters buttered noodles, normally a plain food but somehow Piccola elevated it. I recommend going on a Monday or Saturday night when Abigail works. She made us feel like we were at home. And though we had sand in between our toes and oily sunscreen faces we were welcomed. Looking forward to dining here again.
