Salute! This cute little Italian gelato spot is right downtown Ottawa. The woman working was nice and quick! She recommended "all the flavours" so I went with the two caramel options...chocolate and chocolate chip. While my son took the fruit options and went with mango and strawberry in a cone. They were all delicious...the caramel chocolate chip was definitely my favourite. Highly recommend!

Always a solid choice for gelato downtown! Super quiet street and a nicely sized seating area! Their pistachio and lemon gelato are to dieeeeee for. 12/10!!

If you’re visiting Ottawa or even if you’re a local, this is a great place to stop by for some gelato. The gelato is great, staff is friendly and polite, the vibe is very relaxed and it’s a great location if you’re out and about walking around downtown Ottawa. One of my favourite places in Ottawa

First time in Ottawa. I’m so glad we came across piccolo grande. Nothing beats a late night walk and a lemon gelato. Service was great and the gelato was second to none. Well done! I might come back to Ottawa because of your gelato.

I had a wonderful experience at the ice cream cafe. The ice cream was exquisite, the ambiance was clean and comfortable. Although we encountered a minor issue where the waiter initially served the wrong coffee, they promptly corrected the mistake without any additional charges. I appreciated their quick resolution and still enjoyed my visit.
Tasty, clean Gelato place. Bit of a hidden gem away from the central byward market but all the better. Lots of flavors, fast and friendly service. Was very busy but did not take long at all.

Me and my family have been coming here and enjoying their gelato for basically my entire life. The quality has always been top notch and the people have always been friendly.Their gelato is very flavorful, not too sweet and has a great texture. They also have a large selection of sorbet which are equally as good and are a great choice if you want something refreshing or dairy free.With the amount of places that have been closing since the pandemic, it's comforting to have a constant like Piccolo Grande that you can always rely on for a solid experience.

Very good cold treats. The food here was spectacular because the milkshakes and the ice cream are home made and there are a lot of good options on the menu. The service and the staff here were very polite and friendly to people. The restaurant was very modern and clean. For the reasons I have stated in this review, I highly recommend and encourage everyone to visit this parlour for good food and good service and staff.

Delicious sorbet! Tried the tiramisu and saffron vanilla. Nice atmosphere inside with ample seating.

Great Gelato! The staff is very friendly. My daughter has a dairy allergy, and each time we go, the staff uses a clean scoop for her Vegan scoops.
Rejected my job application with no explanation.
