Piccolo Italian Bistro

Hi! First timers trying out Piccolo's today! My husband and I were greeted and seated promptly from the moment we walked inside from the bakery side of the restaurant - which smelled heavenly. We sat down, had a moment to gander at the menu, and eventually decided on what we wanted to eat (cheesy garlic bread, and each our own choices of pizzas). But unfortunately, since we weren't handed a drinks menu at the time of when we were seated, we were sat feeling quite parched for a little while (between 10-15 mins), before our server came back around to us to take our orders. It was then that we asked her for the drinks menu, and quickly received one for us both to share. Not an issue whatsoever, but personally for me, I'd rather have my own menu to look at and not share with someone else as it can be a bit awkward. We got the cheesy garlic bread as an appetizer, which came out and was the same size as their pizzas! Which was much bigger than we had anticipated it would be lol. It was absolutely delicious garlic bread, couldn't have been better! 5/5 stars for the garlic bread alone - the best I've ever had for the price. (I'm only wishing I could have ordered a side of tomato sauce with it for dipping). Our pizzas were both excellent, as well! I got the one with mushroom + 2 types of olives, and my husband got the prosciutto ham + mushroom one. Both were absolutely mouthwatering, and they were truly some of the finest artisanal, house-made pizzas we've had in a very long time. 5/5 on the pizzas as well, couldn't have enough!! And the tomato sauce base on them was PERFECT. Honestly speaking, I'm someone that is quite picky when it comes to sauces, and I personally don't like a very acidic, hard, tomato-y sauce with my Italian food or pizzas. Within the first bite of something, I can tell right away if I like the sauce or not. But *this* pizza sauce was perfectly seasoned JUST RIGHT! Not too acidic, not too sweet. The Goldilocks of pizza bases! 👌 Cocktails were fabulous as well. I'm not a big drinker, but love to try a good cocktail with a meal now and again. For me, these were absolutely delicious, refreshing, and soooo flavourful. 5/5 on the cocktails, wouldn't have changed a thing about them, except making them in taller glasses lol 😉 And lastly, we took some cannolis home for dessert - and my goodness.... I don't know where people in Hull buy their favourite cannolis from, but me? I'm buying my cannolis from Piccolo's from now on. Fantasticly well-made, crispy, sweet, delicious, and so addictive!! Overall, we had a very pleasant experience with our first time at Piccolo's Italian Bistro. The only thing we could knock from our time here is just the length of time it took for our server to get to us time and time again. We were there for just over 1hr 15 mins, but at least 30 minutes of that time was solely spent just waiting on our server to get to us with bringing us things/taking things away. To be fair, she seemed to be the only server working with a mostly full restaurant during lunchtime, so my husband & I completely understand and don't hold it against her at all. This will not tarnish or leave a bad impression with us, but I'd hate for something like that to negatively affect someone else's dining experience in future; as I'm sure this could set some folks off completely. But as for us, we expect to come back again & again in future to try more delicious items from the menus! Thank you for having us today Piccolo's. We appreciate all the hard work you put towards serving fine dining and exquisite Italian meals, on an affordable budget. You're our new favorite Italiano restaurant! See you again soon xxx

What can you say 5 stars all round. Highly recommend to anyone. Superb

Wow....our first visit to this beautiful little gem, and won't be our last. Food of top quality, taste, presentation, ingredients amazing... Sadly the Seabass wasn't available nor the king prawns, (possibly due to it been a Saturday night and very busy) , we shared a platter to start which hit the spot and tasted great... For mains I had the lamb which was perfection, my partner had a chicken and creamy mushroom sauce dish which was equally devine... and the chips, wow! Lovely authentic place, staff very friendly and helpful, was very busy but we didn't have to wait to long, wouldn't have minded if we had though, it's worth it. Highly recommended, and we will be back. 👍👍

Wonderful food at great prices. Excellent service too x

Went for a meal with my partner. Food was absolutely unreal and the waiter was very nice and attentive. Great little spot, will definitely be back!
