My wife and I hosted a luncheon for our family after our daughter’s baptism at Piccolo Trattoria. The food and service were terrific. The staff were highly responsive to any questions we had about the event and would certainly recommend hosting your next event there.
We had a family dinner with 10 people. We were seated near the open kitchen. The seating was comfortable abd the decor was nice if a little plain. The service was especially good. Attentive, water continuously refilled, and the courses were brought out promptly and hot (well, except for the salads 🥗 LOL). The food was generally well received but there were a few missteps. I originally ordered the blackened tilapia but it was overcooked and appeared to be freezer burned. The server seemed taken aback and started to say they served it earlier and it was fine but then asked if there was anything else I would like. That dinner came out fine. Another person ordered a pasta bolognes. It was tasty but had very little meat in the meat sauce. All other dinners seemed to satisfy their recipients. Overall everyone had a nice time and most would return. 4 stars.
Piccolo Trattoria absolutely blew us away with their catering for our wedding. From start to finish, Tara and her incredible catering team delivered service that went far beyond our expectations. Tara led the team with such warmth, professionalism, and genuine care that it truly felt like we were being taken care of by family.
Our guests are still raving about the food — every dish was flavorful, beautifully presented, and unmistakably crafted with love. Piccolo has always been known for outstanding cuisine, but they somehow managed to bring the same exceptional level of quality to an off-site wedding venue location!
A very special shoutout to Amali, whose attentiveness and kindness stood out in the best possible way. She made sure every detail was perfect and every guest felt cared for.
If you’re looking for a catering team that treats your event like their own and delivers unforgettable food and service, Piccolo Trattoria is the one. We couldn’t recommend them more highly!
This evening we came to Piccolo for a party of eight to celebrate our stepbrother’s birthday. I’ve been coming here for years and always love it, but tonight was especially great — everyone at the table enjoyed their meals!
To start, the eggplant, garlic, and red pepper spread served with the bread was delicious. And this might sound random, but the Diet Coke was epically good — it honestly tasted like the Coke family made it just for us to drink!
For entrées, my fiancé and I shared the cheese tortellini with vodka sauce, peas, and chicken, along with the lasagna. The lasagna includes the same bolognese from their pappardelle bolognese — which is my usual go-to — and it was just as tasty as ever. The bolognese here is always solid.
Others at our table ordered the PEI mussels, tortellini Alfredo, and tomato basil salmon, and everyone was really happy with their meals.
Dessert was also a highlight — the new pastry chef is doing a great job! We tried the raspberry pistachio cake and the chocolate Diablo mousse with cherry filling. Our table also enjoyed the Dark Side of the Moon, cheesecake, and fresh-baked cookie skillet. Everything was delicious.
Our server, Austin, was fantastic — incredibly attentive, courteous, and on top of every detail. He remembered everyone’s requests perfectly.
Highly recommend Piccolo, especially for their pasta. Always consistent, always great. Thanks again, Austin — and happy fall
This place was first class. Located in a strip mall, but inside was elegant. Not very busy while I was there, but the service was top notch. Multiple servers and bussers that were very attentive and helpful, plus, it seemed an owner and/or manager was around to check on every table. The octopus salad, caprese salad, pasta and bread were all delicious. I didn’t think I would be able to eat it all, but couldn’t stop the delicious from winning out. Finished with an espresso, and it was a pleasant treat to have it served with a lemon wedge. Good prices, great food, and would recommend as a solid option any day of the week.
