A wonderful dinner. Service was impeccable, noise level low, and food excellent. We had two of the specials which were -- indeed -- special. We will be back.

We were in town due to a medical procedure and after a long day, we needed to find a place to have dinner. We stumbled upon this gem and were so glad that we did! The food was spot on and the service was great! We will definitely come back when we have to travel here again.

We thought the food was really good but it took a while for someone to come to our table when we first got there and a couple times during the meal. It did seem as tho they were short staffed so maybe this is not a usual occurrence. Ordered a martini but was told they didn't have the ingredients anymore to make it. We don't go out often and was a special night out for our anniversary. Wasn't blown away and probably won't go back but like I said we enjoyed our food. The eggplant pasta dish was really good.

This is my go to restaurant when hanging out with friends, out of town company or corporate dinners. Menu changes daily... Freshest pasta or fish entrees! Flat iron/filet steaks are fantastic as well! Don't forget to try their beef carpaccio as a starter or Misti salad if in season. Excellent cocktails and a pretty good wine offering, too. Cozy  ambience, and a great bar crowd! Reservations accepted along with ample parking. Conveniently located about a mile and a half off the Garden State Parkway.

I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant, the Chef and his team. We had our wedding celebration there on Sunday and everything was AMAZING!! The food, the execution of what we wanted and the service by far exceeded our expectations. It was the kind of experience that our guests will talk about for a long time. I HIGHLY recommend you visit Piccolo Italia!!!

We have been here many times and this time was the best so far! My wife was recently diagnosed with celiac and our waiter was extremely knowledgeable and helpful (as well as being an excellent waiter)!! Will most definitely be back!

Food is consistently delicious. if wiling to overlook ambiance, then this is the place for you.

Food was mediocre not as good as we have experienced in the past. Tomato sauce was crushed tomatoes from a can with no flavoring and very bitter. Nothing about this experience was special this time. The pasta was mushy and starchy and when I received it, it was cold. One of our members had an allergy to pepper and she had to keep sending back her food as they did not follow instructions and the chef never came out for clarification and they still got it wrong. Very disappointed.

Food is well prepared. The bartender gave us great recommendation about a bottle of Sicilian red wine. The service is meticulous. Always enjoy returning for dinner in a pleasant, relaxing environment.
Elena
had an outstanding dining experience! The ambience was warm and elegant, the food was absolutely delicious, and the service was attentive and thoughtful. The beef carpaccio was perfect, and I also enjoyed my favorite fried calamari with a beautiful sauce, wonderfully prepared soft-shell crab, and an outstanding filet mignon. The wine selection curated by Chef Brian was truly spectacular and paired perfectly with the meal. Every dish was memorable, and the whole evening was exceptional—I highly recommend this restaurant!
Food was excellent. Nice menu zucchini flowers were delicious. We were a party of 8 and everyone enjoyed their meals. Would definitely go back.

Piccola Italia offers a fine dining experience with white tablecloths, cloth napkins and replacement of utensils between courses. The wait staff is friendly and efficient. The food is excellent. The bar is well-stocked, provides a satisfying atmosphere and can be an alternate place to dine. We ordered an appetizer to go with our drink at the bar before proceeding to our table for dinner. The dining areas are pleasing, and the food is prepared and presented within an appropriate time. The pace of the meal from the initial course and throughout is just right. I highly recommend this establishment.

Great zucchini flowers! Pear martini love love. Always pleasant servers and great food. Our ‘go to' spot in town.

Once again, Piccolo knocked it out of the park! Ryan was very friendly and attentive! Food was so yummy, Chef Brian is a master! We are leaving the State of NJ and we will miss this restaurant very much! Thank you for all the GREAT years together ! The Wolf's
