Poppa Piccolinos

My first visit to piccolinos in about 20 years. Me and my party were seated upstairs. Table was a bit small for 4 but we were OK. Staff were attentive but not overly friendly except for the chef who came to say hi, and the gent taking orders. If the candles went out they were over relighting it, although not necessary. I had the bolognese which was perfectly satisfactory (my go to safe meal at an Italian) Prices were a bit steep but probably in line with Italians in the area. Would I go again? Yes. Would I have the same meal? Absolutely.

Our first visit here and it was very good. The portions were ample and flavoursome. Can't fault anything.The chef came to greet some regular visitors and his chef white's were spotless and the cutlery was clean and shiny. This all made for a pleasant change from some other meals we have had out. Will definitely be visiting here again.

The bread was microwaved to warm up, this turned it tough to eat. We had to ask twice for water, it was not busy. We ordered a main course, given a choice of mild, medium or spicy, we ordered mild. The meal was very spicy and could not eat it. The staff noticed my wife didn't eat it but waited till later to ask. Too late to replace. Not impressed with the pizza's. Never go again. I would like to amend my review after my wife and I visited for the second time and discussed the review with Ben Lym. We cannot fault the service, very attentive, polite and helpful. We cannot amend what we stated in our initial review because what happened happened. We can however understand the situation that first night and that our second meal was very good. I respect a restaurant owner who takes constructive criticism and acts on it. Finally we would like to add that we will be back again.

I visited Poppa Piccolinos tonight with my family. The lovely restaurant is in a beautiful, central location in Holmfirth. It is easy to get to and there is a lot of parking nearby. The restaurant was busy and had a great atmosphere. The welcome we received from staff was warm and inviting and from the moment we sat down, waiting staff were very attentive. The food is absolutely beautiful. The flavours are amazing and you absolutely won’t leave hungry! The portions are fantastic. The owners are kind people who are also very attentive and make it feel extra special. It has lovely decor and the restaurant is very clean. Will absolutely visit again with friends and family as it’s a new favourite for just a family get together or a celebration. (Please note that on the photos the rice came in beautiful presentation but we had started eating before I remembered I just had to get photos of this beautiful food!!!)
