Unfortunately i am again disappointed with a fried appetizer, notably the Misto Fritta. Just a word of caution if you order anything fried, ask it to be under fried as in my opinion, the seafood and vegetables are overdone.

Food was delicious and the service was great. Drunken Pizza is Amazing.
We had a lunch for about 40 people after our elopement and everything went amazing! Food was great we had mixed flatbreads, penne vodka, chicken parm, and filet mignon. Everything tasted amazing and all of our guests agreed. The staff really went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for our wedding day. We could not have asked for anything more.

Went there last night and was disappointed with the food and service. To start, the are in the middle of a major upgrade in the facilities and the water that was originally brought to the table was cloudy. Needless to say we sent the water back... but should we be the ones to point it out??? The ice tea also was abnormally cloudy and we just didn't drink it. That pretty much turned us off for the entire meal. Probably won't be returning.

Tonight's salmon and seafood special was well prepared and plentiful with a nice glaze on the salmon and the muscles were plump and delicious. My wife gave it a thumbs up and will enjoy her leftovers tomorrow as well. My lasagna was fine. I would prefer to have it hold its shape as opposed to spreading all over my plate due to an over abundance of cheese but the meat was delicious and so I am quite satisfied. Oddly however, the restaurant's owner was sitting out on the restaurant the whole time texting. I approached him as we were leaving to comment on the delicious salmon special. He looked up, grunted and went back to his phone. So, good food, reasonable prices, rude owner.

Spaghetti with meat sauce and meatballs was amazingly delicious. The snowball dessert was delicious as well. I love this place.

The lasagna is described on their menus as "Layered tender fresh ricotta, grande mozzarella, homemade bolognese sauce". The operative word here is layered. Layered implies just that, layers of ingredients between slices of pasta. What we got was one slice of pasta on the bottom, a large amount of chopped meat in the middle, some ricotta cheese, another layer of pasta and mozzarella cheese on the top covered with sauce. That's not lasagna. My wife and I watched a YouTube video on the best lasagna. Magianno's and Olive Garden (yes believe it or not Olive Garden) were two of the best rated. We tried Olive Garden's last week and trust me, it's the real deal.
I stumbled upon Piccolo Trattoria while searching OpenTable. This was a birthday dinner for my wife, who is Italian, so if we were going to an Italian restaurant, I wanted to be certain it was authentic. Indeed it was. The atmosphere was lively-many diners enjoying their meal, and many in groups of 4, 6 or more. The food was amazing. My wife and I shared a dish in which slices of cheese were cooked and bathed in rich "red gravy." My wife then had a seafood mixture with spaghetti and I had veal parmigiana with angel hair pasta. Piccolo offers a lengthy list of pastas to choose from. Both my wife and I were delighted with dinner. The sauce or red gravy was rich and tasty, and her seafood and my veal were just what we wanted. The food has to be better than home to be satisfying, and this dinner was. The waitstaff provided great service, even though they were busy and seemed to never stop working. Everything came out on time, and any request from a little extra cheese to a large spoon for twirling the pasta was met cheerfully and quickly. Piccolo Trattoria is tucked away in a shopping center in Newtown. I am delighted to be able to give this restaurant one of the best recommendations I have ever written, and I urge you to visit. My wife and I will definitely return. Oh, not to forget, this is BYOB so bring a fine bottle of wine without having to pay double the retail price or more.

This is a good, traditional Italian restaurant, which is consistently good, whether you want a slice of pizza or cheesesteak for lunch, or a full dinner. They are expanding for s third time at the Newtown location, and I can only review the Newtown restaurant, although there is another location or two. Entrees come with soup or salad, & both are good choices. Their Pasta Fazool soup is thick & well seasoned & you can taste that it's homemade. The house salad is fresh & crisp & their Balsamic house dressing is terrific. Also, the fresh bread, made from pizza dough is warm & yummy and is served with a nice tomato sauce like s bruschetta. My friend & I split the fried calamari with cherry peppers which were tender & not greasy or chewy & was served with a spicy tomato sauce (or was it the cherry peppers that provided the extreme heat?) After our salad, bread & appetizer, we were so full, that we had to stop eating after a few bites & both took our delicious pasta entrees home & enjoyed 2-3 meals from the leftovers. I have never been disappointed here. I even took a fussy friend here who loved their salmon. The desserts look delicious, although I'm sure they're not made by the restaurant. The service is efficient, though a little slow at the end of the night. The restaurant is clean & fairly attractive for it's location in s strip mall. Their pizza is delicious, although a little pricey when you add a few toppings. The prices are generally in line with other Italian restaurants in the area, although I was stunned to see a $42.00 entree special (I think it was for short ribs?)
I picked food up on super bowl Sunday. I expected a long wait, but it was very disorganized. The food was suppose to be ready at 5:00. I got there 10 minutes early because I wanted to make sure it was hot. I didn't get the order until 6:05. It had been sitting on the counter and was cold.
