Had a wonderful dinner tonight. Arrived a little early specifically to have a drink at the beautiful bar. We then were seated at our reservation time. We had a starter of crab stuffed mushrooms. Both our dinners came with either soup or salad. We both had Caesar salads. For dinner I had the Bolognese, which was delicious and my husband had the chicken Parmesan with spicy vodka sauce over his noodles. We will definitely be back again.

Another great experience at Cafe Piccolo. Our server, Aaron was so helpful, pleasant and professional that it made our fabulous dining experience even better. Great selection and a terrific choice of specials made it an evening of incredible enjoyment.

My son decided to stay an extra day so we were able to dine at Caffe Piccolo! The waitress, Kennedy, was very nice and brought Eddie two sips of wine as he was having trouble deciding. My martini was perfect. My son got the steak special which was cooked perfectly and quite tasty. Sadly, it was too cold to sit outside.
