Piccolo By Piccolino, Leeds

Two out of three courses were ok. As a real ale lover, I would appreciate the addition of a decent beer. The service from Katerina was exceptional. We ate here again today and were greeted by the amiable Giorgio. My wife was very happy with her sea bass and said the sauce was tasty but her courgettes were cold. The skin on my “slow cooked crispy duck” was anything but. It was soft and limp. Maybe don’t call it “crispy “ on the menu. But overall a pleasant experience.

Lovely lunch here today. Food was nice, better than other Italian chain restaurants. Service was excellent, very attentive and went out of their way to provide great service. We were sharing a pizza and burger and they offered to cut it into 2 for us. They went an extra step and served a half portion each on 2 plates. Despite only being a few tables in, the atmosphere was great too.

We went to piccolo by piccolino yesterday with an intention to eat pizza but seeing the menu we have changed our mind and went with “carbonara” this turned out to be the perfect choice, we have specifically asked for the original Italian version without the cream and the chef honoured our request, pancetta was the perfect level of crispness and the whole dish was as they say in Italy “strepitoso”. Couldn’t recommend this place enough, the service was very very nice. The food amazing. Really looking forward to dine there again soon

Went to Piccolo for a spontaneous lunch with boyfriend. Ordered the VEAL MILANESE , which was extremely bland. I explained this to them, and they were extremely attentive and kind to get my main course changed. I resulted in getting the hunter's chicken, and this was not so great either. . . The reason for the 5-star rating is that my partner really enjoyed his pizza, he said it's the best one he's ever had. My sides were amazing, and my starter was light and nice too. It's unfortunate about my mains, but the restaurant was extremely polite and understanding. Taste is subjective, and they were more than willing to accommodate my needs. I gave up getting a main after my second attempt, as I needed to get going, however they were also happy to bring out fresh sides, as they were worried that the sides were going to get cold when we were waiting for my second main choice. I declined as there's no need. When paying they explained that they had not charged for the sides, which I was not expecting, and was happy to pay for. When leaving, my partner and I had a brief discussion about the mains, and he was so apologetic, which I appreciated, but was further explained the reason the VEAL MILANESE is cooked the way it did. The manger ended up getting us a pizza to go for free, which again, I did not expect, but was soooo appreciated of their attentiveness and care for the customers. I did pay the service fee, as regardless of not eating the mains, my partner enjoyed his, and the staff were so kind. Overall great experience from this restaurant. :)

We as family love Piccolo.. The ambience and service is immaculate.. Food is really good and very tasty.. I have tried a mixture and dishes as I have been here quite a few times and I can say, each and every one of them have left me go yummmm.. My favourites are wild mushroom risotto and Panna cotta (dessert).. We recommended this place to our family too and they loved their food too. We will be definitely going again and again...and totally recommend this place for people to try too.
