Piccola Parma

Have wanted to try for a while. Our visit didn't disappoint the food was very tasty. My husband hasn't tasted spaghetti like that since his Italian granny died many years ago! We will definitely be returning to work our way through the menu. Very reasonably priced and totally affordable treat for us.

I needed somewhere to sit down really badly. I went in here explaining all I needed was a cup of coffee until I recovered and was collected. I had two, the coffee was that great. I can not eat when I am out as the reaction is more trouble than it is worth but I look forward to having a sit in here again and leaving with something nice for home. I really think it is a pity that lovely little spots like this are bring edged out by excess bills and bureaucratic difficulties, to replaced by the bland plastic chicken merchants. But perhaps that is the plan.

My daughter and I went to Picola Parma to order a dozen cannoli for our "The Godfather" evening. We had their Ulster Fry while we were there and it was just exquisite, beatifully cooked and made with high quality products. Wonderful! Best in East Belfast. I've hunted for cannoli all over Belfast and the ones here are just perfect. They are exactly how cannoli should be made, proper Italian ones. We stopped the film when Clemenza said "Leave the gun, take the cannoli" and ate them all, everybody agreed that they were the best they've ever had. You would die for them, which incidently Paulie Gatto did, but hey ho.

Visited Piccola Parma today.We wanted a quick lunch , was thinking Italian cause we were hungry. Saw this on Google. Got the Taglieri Misto to start for two! UNREAL! Chef/Owner came out and explained the combinations of meats and cheese , the origins and tasting notes.We also had a Carbonara and a pasta Ragu Bolognese! Both were sublime….really authentic….. like it was home cooked in the north of Italy. Got an Italian hot chocolate to share for desert…highly recommend. The service was really attentive and the homely feel of the place is really something else. Will definitely be back.

An absolute gem of a place - lovely people, atmosphere and amazing food. It has a lovely community feel with lots of regulars popping in and I can see why: the food is gorgeous, and you're going to want to work your way through the menu! Super coffee, great friendly people working there and lovely chats, all on top of delicious food, what more can you want? You won't need to try anywhere else in Belfast.
