Piccolo Italian Bistro

Walked past in the morning and grabbed a takeaway black coffee. Which was a stand-out coffee, the beans or something just made it super rich and flavoursome. So obviously, I had to pop back later to try some of the food and another coffee. Again, cracking coffee, calzone was huge and delicious. Also pretty cheap. With a really nice atmosphere. Will absolutely be coming again. A right little gem.

Went for the first time the other evening with friends - for the one that is not a pasta lover and can't eat pizza due to a cheese allergy - was wondering what I could eat (went for the 2 for 15.00 special offer - which is pasta and pizza only) however on arrival, I decided to try a pasta dish (after checking no cheese in it - which the waitress went and asked the chef) - I went for the Linguini Pollo Funghi, we also ordered the Lasagne and 2 pizza's the Veg and Florentine - All the people in the party was amazed at the size of the dishes and who lovely is all looked and tasted we will be booking again with more friends to try it

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

I ordered 2 pasta dishes and 2 starters from this restaurant on just eat, not really expecting much as delivered food is never as good as it could be if we were dining in, that goes for any restaurant! But me and my partner were so unbelievably impressed by the quality of the food and how tasty it was! We both said, if it’s this good delivered then imagine how good it would be to eat in, and now that’s our next date night planned! Can’t wait to taste it again! So yum!

We had an appointment in Hull so looked for somewhere nice for lunch. After a bit of research we decided to try Piccolo Italian Bistro on Chanterlands Avenue as it looked good & was not far from where our appointment was. Wow, what a great decision! We were greeted warmly by the front of house young lady & shown to a table. Straight away I thought this would be good as it was only 12:15 on Thursday lunchtime & almost all the downstairs tables were already taken. Menus given & drinks order taken quickly which we like as you can enjoy a drink whilst perusing the menu. My partner chose the Gamberoni (King prawns) followed by Branzino (Sea bass fillets) whilst I decided on Polpetta (meatballs) then Filetto al Pepe (Pan-fried beef fillet strips in creamy peppercorn sauce) A bottle of wine was chosen to accompany this & we sat chatting in anticipation of some nice food. Well we weren't disappointed. Lovely starters & then delicious mains were served up with just the right amount of time in between. There was a vibrant atmosphere in the bistro, some nice background music & plenty of chatter from what appeared to be many regulars having lunch which is always a good sign! One dessert to share & a couple of very good cocktails each finished off a delightful lunch. We had a nice chat with the Italian waitress/ front of house/ bakery shop assistant about looking after customers as we have close links to the hospitality trade. She worked very hard doing all this & made it look easy juggling all this & keeping everybody happy! A credit to the business. We also learned about some nice places to visit in Italy. Chatting to the owner/chef & found out he used to work at a nice Italian restaurant in our home town of Beverley many years ago. All in all, a delightful lunchtime experience, nice atmosphere, great service & wonderful food. We will definitely be repeating this the next time we visit Hull (in about 4 weeks!) & we will also take friends there for dinner one evening very soon. There are many restaurants, cafes, bistros dotted about these days so it is nice when you drop onto a good one & Piccolo is definitely a good one!
