Piccolino Sheffield

I had an early dinner at Piccolino in Sheffield. I ordered Arancini and Calamari for starters, and it came out exquisitely cooked. The squid was soft in texture, but the batter was very light and crispy. For my main course, I had Linguine Gamberoni. The pasta was perfectly al dente. The seasoning was light and well balance, and you can taste the shrimp’s freshness. I had the pleasure of being taken care of by Fabio, and he made sure that the food went out on time and well presented. I am so grateful for the service.

Attended for my 30th birthday meal with my partner. We sat in the sheltered outside area. Vito was our server and was lovely. Originally wanted to order a chicken dish but they had run out. So ordered braised ox cheek and i was not disappointed! Staff brought a cake out with a candle and dang happy birthday which was a lovely touch! Thank you!

This restaurant is in a great central location in Sheffield near Peace Gardens, and offers a great dining experience. We were seated inside in a nice booth, but seating is also available in an outside 'glass conservatory' with heaters. We ordered a bottle of sauvignon blanc, and were also impressed with the alcohol free options of wine, beer and gin, which was great for those driving. When the wine arrived, instead of being offered a taste as expected, it was poured straight into everyone's glasses. For £40 per bottle, we would expect to taste the wine first, fortunately the wine wasn't corked and was very nice. To start we ordered bruschetta, arancina, and bruschetta gamberoni. All of the starters were very nice! For main, we ordered Paccheri All'arrabbiata (pasta & tomato), Merluzzo (Atlantic cod), Orata Al Forno (whole sea bream), and Stufato Di Manzo (braised ox cheek). The food was very nicely presented and tasted amazing! The pasta and sea bream were piping hot, however the cod and ox cheek dishes were barely warm, as if they had been sat waiting for the other dishes to be plated. This was a bit disappointing, but regardless still tasted great. We also had a side of Zucchini, which was crispy and tasty, but quite heavily salted. Overall, we would return to this restaurant for the delicious food and great setting. The few negatives do not outweigh the positives, but does mean we're giving 4 stars instead of 5.

Just wanted to say thank you for a lovely family lunch! We took my mother-in-law for her birthday and had a great time. The food was delicious, the staff super friendly, and we even got a very enthusiastic performance of 'Happy Birthday' for her as well. My husband has an allergy and this was handled well - his food was separately marked and there was plenty of choice for him. Definitely a top choice for a family friendly restaurant right in the heart of town.

First of all, I want to thank Ramona for the great service she provided. I was eager to try their lasagna since I heard from my buddies that it was really tasty and it did not disappoint! The atmosphere is lovely and the food is delicious. I will make sure to come by another time to try their other meals when I'll be free to do so.

Went a damp, cold, Tuesday evening in early March. Greeted by warm and welcoming staff, who made us feel very welcome. Nothing seemed too much to ask, the staff were very polite, and friendly, like we we're there all the time. The food was superb, could not fault it, I have a big appetite and didn't order or need to order any sides at all. Thier 500g grass fed steaks, well, they are the ones to have, probably the best in Sheffield, the salted and pepper lightly charred crust, was simply divine. Super soft, and melted in your mouth, the chef's really know how to cook and respect a quality piece of meat. Genuinely a wonderful experience.

A return visit to this venue and always a nice experience. This occasion the waiting service wasn’t as polished as you’d have expected, we waited longer than average times between seeing menus to ordering, or being offered the next course menu. Food was lovely and tasty on each course. For myself, it was a little cold inside the restaurant. Ample parking nearby. Would recommend a visit now to taste the menu, as they are offering 50% off the main menu for food until the end of January.
