Reviews of Piccolino

If you want real and authentic Italian food, this is it (as verified my Italian friend)! There’s plenty of Piccolino branches in the UK so you might be surprised to find it’s near your home too.
It may be pricey at first glance, but you see why when tasting the food; all the fresh ingredients and cleverly picked out. This spot is great for a treat!
The decoration was outdated but it still gives a European feel with the photographs hanging on the walls. There’s plenty of tables to seat a lot of people. Although it’s best to book a reservation just in case you get unlucky.
If I had to nit-pick something about the restaurant, I wish they had more vegetarian options. As a vegetarian, I had limited options compared to other restaurants but overall this was a must-eat place.

OMG- such a cute found on a passing by trip! Such amazing flavours! Quick, very polite & friendly service!And, the Hugo Spritz is a must!
G. K.
Love coming here, the atmosphere is always good, the staff are helpful and friendly and the food is spot on. We were here on a Saturday afternoon and it had a nice chilled vibe. We will be back 😁
S. A.
Authentic great Italian food served by Italians. We enjoyed everything we ordered. Prices are slightly higher but this is the best way to enjoy Italy without travelling during covid. Would return.

Went to Piccolino for a date night. Its a lovely restaurant with a very pleasant atmosphere. It's perhaps a little more expensive than some other restaurants, but when you try the food you understand why. Food was absolutely amazing, my partner had lasagne, she said it was the best she'd had in years. I had rib eye, it was fantastic quality and perfectly cooked. Also the waiting staff were very good, there when you need them and not when you don't. Will definitely return

A group of 7 of us went on Saturday night and had a wonderful time
The service was excellent , waiters were there when we needed them ,polite,friendly and funny.
The food was lovely, we didn’t have to wait long for any of the courses and they even provided take away tubs for the extra orders of delicious chocolate truffles that we all decided to take home
We all had fantastic evening
P. C.
Had a family celebration here, 17 of us in total. The staff and service was exceptional as was all the food ordered. Very happy with the whole evening. Big shout out to Marco and the rest of the staff.

I have to shout out the amazing service at Piccolino Restaurants in Nottingham! We visited last week after a busy summer, and we were a little nervous to take our six year old who was in a post-holiday grump.
We were sat at the back with a direct window into the kitchen which kept him engrossed. The waiting staff were friendly and explained the different options, whilst keeping the little one entertained. Particular shout out to the waiter who put ketchup on his finger to pretend it had been cut in the Jamon slicer, he LOVED that.
The food was amazing, very fresh and options for vegetarians, meat eaters and even gluten-free which was great to see.
Our little one watched the kitchen for so long, they came out with a bag of marshmallows and he was smitten.
The whole Piccolino Nottingham team needs a shout out, they were amazing! An adult restaurant, which welcome's families, amazing.
K. C.
The best Italian in Nottingham city centre! The food is beautiful every time. Only down side is they do not cater for gluten free. Friend had to order just vegetables.
P. H.
Food was great and staff were very friendly and helpful. They explained what my gluten free options were and made me feel reassured that they take it very seriously. I would definitely return again. Thanks
G. M.
Whether it's a quick espresso over lunch break, aperitivo after work or a traditional evening meal with friends and family. Always the same wonderful welcome and service.
Congratulations Martina on your new role, you'll be missed.
C. H.
Lovely place, really good atmosphere, delicious food and varied menu. Decent portion sizes. A little pricey but worth it for a treat.
R. T.
Staff were very helpful in making us a table when they were busy and we hadn't booked. Food was great and fairly priced. Service was not rushed. We had a very relaxed evening.
A. H.
Bit expensive. Amazing service. Tables a bit wobbly. Delicious food.
M. H.
Food was fantastic and the staff were superb. Highly recommended.
L. B.
Great food & service. We've been a few times now and I usually have a fish dish, which never fails. This time I had the baked salmon which was very tasty.
M. R.
Piccolino's is a pretty safe bet for decent food in a nice environment. A great range of Italian dishes means you are sure to find something that takes your fancy.
H. R.
Lovely restaurant with good service, food was just above average though. Expecting better quality for the price.
S. R.
The best restaurant ever.. Me & my husband go every once a year.. beautiful place to eat, food is so lush, place has a romantic feel & Staff, the staff are absolutely amazing, No matter how busy they're gets out in time. all in all awesome service!
L. C.
My party had a wonderful experience here. The staff were very welcoming, friendly and helpful. The food was fantastic. Thank you.
I. R.
Lovely food and great service, we were a large group and it felt a little cramped at the table but overall it was a good meal and I would go back.
D. (.
I took my mom here when she came to visit me and we absolutely loved it! We are both fans of Italian food and this place has the finest, freshest and the most delicious food that we could have possibly eaten that night without a reservation. I unfortunately only have the photos where you can see the ambiance but we ordered Minestrone and continued with vegan appetizers and main. It was a delight! I highly recommend this restaurant.
T. S.
Went in last minute and was treated like royalty from the moment we walked in. Food was awesome, drinks were on point and the lady who engaged with us (sorry didn't catch your name) was a great example of World Class 👌🏽
I.
The service is professional, friendly, impeccable ! The food is exquisite. As a starter, we’ve had some oysters which were delivered yesterday. They were so fresh and tasty! Also we’ve had the capresante which is made with brocoli, scallops and sausage. It was delicious and the sauce is to die for.
As mains, we’ve had the spaghetti frutti di made and a risotto frutti du mare, both delicious and in generous portions.
G. S.
Excellent food from the starter to dessert. Staff really friendly, great atmosphere and would definitely come back again
G. R.
Really enjoyed our lunch here - everything was freshly made and very tasty. The Staff were also very friendly.
T. S.
one of the best places to eat out in nottingham we went on a sunday and had a starter, mains & desert for under £25. madness. the food was so wholesome and authentic. the courgette fries side & salad is recommended. 12/10 will be here again
H. K.
Great service, the vegetarian option was a little bland and i expect fresh basil on my Penne arrabiata, but son really enjoyed the seafood linguine, nice wine.
I. E.
Lovely Italian. Scallops were beautiful.
Staff very friendly and accommodating. Certainly worth a visit if you like good quality food.
A. M.
Very nice experience within a fine dining restaurant. Staff were helpful and friendly and the premises was clean. Food was good but not great. Location is excellent for those around Hockley, Motorpoint Arena, National Ice Stadium and close proximity to the train station.
M. W.
Food arrived so quickly, I doubt it was cooked from fresh (my opinion). My friend said that her lasagne tasted as if it had been heated up in a microwave (her opinion) Expensive for what we got. Very pleasant Italian accented waiters. We had truffles for dessert which were over coated in cocoa to the point of choking on it . Not a very pleasant experience, and quite a weird flavour we thought (shared by 3 of us) Not sure I would go again. Excellent service though.
M. S.
Brilliant service as always. The food was spot on and a couple of great cocktails served up too. A great evening catching up with family.
R. J.
Not the greatest food. But great ambiance and wine selection. I believe this would be a great first date place where you can forget about the awkwardness of a first date and talk about how the food isn’t the best.
C. R.
Food was ok, good selection on the gluten free menu.
Did not appreciate the opt-out 10% service charge added to the bill.
J. Q.
Fantastic restaurant.surrounded by people out for lunch on a Saturday. Nice vibe and I will take my daughter back for lunch when I return.
K. C.
Is not bad place my dish been tasty but my partner order Pesce spada and be not really good becouse taste like gum and he pay for this 21f Just with Olives and nothinge else so this i not recomende is my personal opinion Just
A. C.
A very noisy, fun place to dine Italiano
Great atmosphere for all ages, a super choice of food and vino all reasonably priced. Definitely a place to revisit for us
J. M.
Nothing special and not worth the prices they were charging. A large number of their dishes were unavailable, now this might be due to recent delivery shortages etc which can't be helped but when your first, second and third choices are not available it gets a little underwhelming. The starters were good but most of us were underwhelmed by our mains and the desserts were good but nothing special. I'd expect more when paying those prices.
Also tables are incredibly close together, too close for comfort.
T. A.
Lovely experience
First time here
The food was amazing
Definitely coming back
Great atmosphere
And the most important part of the evening was for the staff member that took care of us for the evening was amazing and very caring
Thank you to Jed
Great guy
M. W.
Well the food was absolutely delicious. But unfortunately I have never known such a rude waiter. So unfortunately I will not be returning.
M. A. T. T. H. E. W.
Food excellent, service not so. The waiting staff need to learn how to serve people properly
I. K.
Great food as always, great service exalant staff, thanks for a really good night, nice touch by the way with lemon chello, Happy Anerversary to my wife..
S. M. D.
I went there a few days with my girlfriend. The staff was Italian and very nice. The food was excellent and definitely go back.
B. D.
Delicious meat and cheese platter, delicious carbonara, delicious wine. I have been here twice with a large group and everything was excellent. They even tell you where all the food is sourced from, even the vegetables!
J. W.
Perfect meal out. Pizza dough was fresh and crispy, with a flavoursome mix of seafood. Best pizza I've had in a long time. Lasagne was also outstanding. Service was prompt and friendly with nothing to fault. Thank you Piccolino.
K. d. S.
The people and service was great. The waiter recommended the Anatra and it was delicious.
I. Z.
Amazing food and drink, service was in very good quality
C. K.
Could not fault anything tonight! Friday night me and my partner decided to go there without a booking ( it was pretty busy) and they gave us a table straight away! Service was tops and food really good! Will definitely come back, high recommend it!
s. l.
I had salmon pasta, it was okay nothing special and too salty. I think the menu looks more exciting than it is. However, lovely location.
S. C.
Nice dinner out made fabulous by Marco! Seafood pasta and chocolate cheesecake are ace!
V. R.
Nice place and great service, but the risotto was pretty flavourless.
L. D.
Enjoyed an informal wedding celebration here yesterday. Decor was warm, modern and comfortable, the staff attentive and helpful. Complimentary Prosecco, wonderful martinis and delicious food. Busy restaurant for a blustery and wet October night and yet spacious enough for our small party to enjoy a fairly private celebration. Thank you!
Recommend for all occasions.
R. W.
This is a proper Italian Restaurant - seemingly run by Italians. What that means is that ever so slightly 'efficient' service, rather than friendly service. The food we had was good - but expensive. Wine was very expensive. These are not necessarily criticisms, but anyone going here needs to understand that it won't be a 'cheap night out'.
G. C.
Great food, great mood, very frindly staff. Highly recommended! I will definitely be back
M. M.
Elegant and marvelous place, the staff is very kind and always ready to satisfy every customer's request. Tastiest italian food, great starters and the best t-bone steak you can eat in Nottingham. The food's price is in line with the quality delivered.
P. B.
Great atmosphere, great service and ultimately great food. One of the only places in Nottingham where you can get both Oysters and Lobster - a must for any seafood lovers! Great spot for dinner. 5*
M. D.
Staff were absolutely amazing and sorted a table for us last minute! Food was delicious!
w.
Quite simply amazing. Service quick. Food quick. Quality ✔.
Fitted us in for a quick bite before the last minute show we booked.....
Waiter was fun.... informative..... and had hospitality written on his name badge. Not really.
Simply cannot recommend enough.
E. B.
A lovely restaurant. Very safe and clean, good friendly service and excellent food. Well worth a visit
杨.
Overall, good service, but the dishes are somewhat overpriced and insufficient for hungry people. Why the 'optional service fee' automatically added to my bill? I will pay for the good service but this is a bit frustrating.
W.
Really good food and drinks. Plenty of options on the menu and nice atmosphere.
J. E.
Stopped for a coffee, which came with a lovely biscotti. Staff were really lovely and service was quick and efficient. Recommended.
r. r.
Nice food, Nice place 🤌🏻. Just the Italian waiters had little attitude that night 👎🏻😂
W. A.
Natalia (I believe she is recently employed) gave us the best service in the world. She was very caring and accurate during such busy Friday night. Food and atmosphere was on point.
D. B.
Lovely food, great staff, good location especially if visiting the arena. Thank you for all your help Martina
A. M.
Had a meal here on a very busy Saturday night. Great food, excellent service and very reasonable prices. Top marks from us.
A. D.
Fine dining.. Nice Italian dishes..
Y. K.
I ordered the bolognese and my husband the rigatoni , we both enjoyed our order and the deseert is amazing (see photo). The staffs are very friendly and attentive, will definitely come back.
W. P.
I happened to be in town for an appointment and walked by Piccolino. I explained that I need to sit somewhere quiet away from the more crowded area because of my disability and all my needs were met with excellent service. I had a nice drink and a lovely meal. Thank you Francesca.
L. E.
Honestly, I like this italian restaurant. The food is delicious. I was also happy with the service that offered to us by Francesca. Highly recommended!
S. K.
Lovely meal in superb surroundings. Little expensive.
G. Z.
Excellent service and food. Friendly staff 🇮🇹 Cannot wait to return!
N. M.
I loved the food and the experience. It’s just a great place sometimes it’s hard to explain until you experience it. Everything was wonderful from the moment we walked in. Food service fantastic, food amazing, overall such a great place and that was my first time but I’d definitely go back again
N. R.
Lovely food great staff, would highly recommend.
A. A.
Professionalism, good food, fast service, would recommend 100%
M. H.
Always amazing, staff are so quick and friendly food is always good
N.
One of my favourite places to start an evening. I usually don't have a reservation and that is fine. Good Italian food with an excellent menu. Food arrived quickly.
H. W.
It was good however pretty busy so we didn't get many drinks and had to ask for service. Food arrived well and presented well. Quite expensive for not exceptional service.
F. S. S. J.
Very good. Four of us sat outside, the sun out. £102. Magic.
A. M. S.
Have been a couple of times now, always amazing food here, would definitely recommend :)
r. b.
Great starter. Bit disappointing main course. Great service
D. H.
Not the cheapest Italian in town but certainly worth the extra costs. Superb service, gorgeous food and a bright and bustleing environment. Can't wait to eat there again.
T. M.
Always a pleasure to dine here. Brilliant waitor service and exceptional food. One of the best restaurants In Nottingham. Highly recommended. :)
G. S.
My favourite Nottingham Italian restaurant. Excellent service and food every time. I worried during lockdown that it wouldn't reopen but here it is going strong. Highly recommended. Never fails.
V. R.
Delicious food and great service! Will be coming back 😊
A. H.
Lovely venue, very friendly and helpful staff, seating inside and out. The food was lovely and they even had a vegetarian/vegan menu. Very clean and tidy I would recommend this restaurant
E. A.
Very nice food and very good service. Expensive but you get what you pay for. Will definitely be back
G. S.
One of our favourite restaurants. Prices and food are in line to similar places, a step above to other high street restaurants. Staff is always friendly and cheerful. Subscribe to their rewards scheme, it is worthy.
D. T.
When I had food a year ago.. the food was nice and the waiters were polite and nice. Last time I only had drinks with two friends. When I had to pay.. I was charged more than I said I have to pay. The waiter claimed that it was a typing mistake...
A. H.
Amazing traditional Italian restaurant, food delicious, service fantastic, although it's quite pricey, it's well worth it !
O. M.
Genuinely one of the best Italian experiences you'll get in Nottingham- yes it's a chain... But the staff are almost entirely Italian and their hospitality is fantastic. They were absolutely brilliant with my kid too. It's true the food is anglicised a little but still worth the money. And for the Italians that read this- se state cercando un po di casa al estero questo è il posto. Ragazzi di nuovo grazie.
J.
Great food, nice atmosphere. Service leaves a little to be desired though, very hard to get a waiters attention although they were busy.
E. D.
Been here a few times for dinner. The food is top quality and very generous in serving size. Everything is clean and hygienic inside. The staff are on point with their serving skills. Top notch restaurant for a classy meal date!
S. H.
This place has absolutely fantastic food and service to match nothing is too much trouble and the staff are very friendly. Thank you for a lovely dining experience.
J. W.
Not cheap, but the food is fantastic as is the service. Highly recommended
J. M. m.
Excellent service today Sunday lunchtime. Fantastic staff all Italian , lovely food and wine . Ticked all the boxes we could have been in Italy . Superb we will definitely be back
A. O.
Great restaurant! Lovely staff!
_. k.
Fantastic food taste with such friendly staff. Food came out very quickly and it was delicious. I wish the portion size was bigger for lemon chicken breast!
E. H.
Molto bene!!! Very good food and friendly staff!
J. M.
We had a great experience, mostly because staff was super friendly, and that is probably the only reason why I rate 4 stars this restaurant. Don't get me wrong, food was ok, but for the price we've paid I was expecting way more. I strongly recommended to go for the 3 course meal deal they have, even if your choice will be quite small, otherwise I would suggest to choose fish plates (Spiedini were superb) over anything else (Steak was nothing special and it comes with no sides at all).
J. Z.
everything nice but why would the male server wink at you when you say thank you... also weird that mains arrived whilst we were still having our starter
L.
Giovanni excellent service. Great ndueja pizza
Y. A.
Wow and wow ,faultless from start to finish ,fillet steak amazing
k. p.
Great Italian restaurant, a little slow on the service but nice food, not cheap
M. G.
We went hear for my mother in laws 80th birthday sat night. The waiter who looked after us was amazing he made her night so thank you to him we were sorry we didn't get his name
N. A.
Great place for dining, the food was amazing, the staff were very friendly and sweet, helped me and my friends make menu choices
Place was a bit on a pricier side for my means, but I'd say it was well worth it!
X.
Fantastic food and service. You can obtain a loyalty card and get money off your next meals. There's sometimes money off on drinks and seasonal menus with the loyalty card.
Never had a bad experience here. The staff are great. Only gripe I have is it's location, bit of a distance from the centre of town for me but it doesn't put us off going back time and time again
V. V.
Excellent restaurant, professional staff, great food, authentically Italian.
The menu changes by the season. Although there are regular dishes on it. It's easy to get a table and it's easy to get a hold of a waiter if need be. The food is always served with all the trimmings. The staff are understanding and helpful, should you have a problem. They even have a loyalty scheme, should you be so inclined.
Honestly, I can recommend this place highly enough. Would give it six stars if I could.
Z. R.
Brilliant pizzas, extremely good waiting staff (attentive, polite yet never in your face) and fantastic offers. My partner and I took advantage of the £20 off your bill January club membership offer and had a feast (starters, mains and drinks) for less than £45 (total cost for both of us). It was an absolute bargain on a Sunday evening. Highly recommended! Thank you for the delicious food and the experience. :-)
I. M.
Superb Italian food. Had the large shared starter, linguini with king prawns and chocolate tortini. All were wonderful. Excellent service with polite staff.
C. C.
The whole experience was lovely. Went with a group of ladies and my not quite one year old. The staff fussed over him but didn't neglect anything else. Clearly a very well run, family friendly but also professional Italian. At no point was anyone else affected, the food was stunning.
J. A.
Food was beautiful authentic Italian food that both looked and tasted amazing. The staff were friendly and also Italian so were very familiar with the food/wine on offer and gave very informed opinions on what to go for.
Overall a fantastic restaurant!
J. W.
I attended this restaurant at lunch so it was on the quiet side. We were welcomed at the door. Our luggage and coats hung in there cloak room. The waiting staff were polite and genuine Italian waiters. We had a choice from a lunch menu or main menu. The food was excellent and the atmosphere nice. It was a working lunch so was grateful for a quiet table. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.
P. N.
This was a great place for a leisurely lunch-time meal. We were greeted in a friendly manner and led to a suitable table (my father has limited mobility, so needs a bit more space). The menus were promptly provided, both a la carte and lunchtime.There was a very good range of dishes on offer, at quite reasonable prices. And when they came, they were very tasty and well presented.
The staff kept a good eye on things without being at all intrusive - we saw them deal with a glass of wine which had been knocked over on another table quickly, efficiently and without any fuss.
We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and will be looking for an opportunity to go back.
P. G.
Had lunch with my wife here yesterday, we had a corner table big enough to accommodate four people which was a nice change from being squeezed onto a small table hardly large enough for a single plate as in a lot of places. The food was fresh , tasty and well presented which is no big surprise as it always is here. What we liked most was the professional but still attentive service that we had , thankyou Piccolino , we hope to return soon .
T. H.
Had a great time .celebrating 34yrs of marriage and birthday. Service and food outstanding. Good to be back in a first-class restaurant , had to take taxi home ,of course!!!!.
S. C.
Sir Buonomo,
Another fantastic lunch date!
The rigatoni con melanzane was superb. I'd have trawled the menu if I was more local, I can't help but visit when I'm close by.
Grazie mille,
Sam
L. C.
Had an amazing night here, right from the moment we arrived there was a tangible buzz in the air. Really great vibe about the place. The waiting staff were extremely friendly, welcoming and mainly Italian. There's a great selection of wines to choose from, not just Italian. The food was too notch and I really couldn't complain. Will definitely be returning here again.
J. B.
I haven't been for a while, so it was a real pleasure to experience good quality food, well cooked. The staff were particularly inviting & very helpful, with a lovely sense of humour. I will be going back & recommending Piccolino to my family and friends.
F. O.
Food was average to above average. Service manager was friendly and helpful. Other service staff unfortunately didn’t seem happy to be working on a Sunday. They made me feel that my custom was an imposition on them.
Kind of feel my 10% optional tip might have been generous.
A. K.
Lovely dinner tonight at Picolinos in Nottingham. Food was fabulous and the waiter/ waitress charming . Very busy but service was everything you like it to be.
M.
Fantastic place to eat. The staff here were very polite and helpful, already recommended it to family and friends. I had the steak which was delicious and I didnt have to wait long even though it was relatively busy. Worth the price.
C. J.
Had a very nice meal here. Kids menu is excellent and staff very professional.
N. S.
Absolutely amazing food in a lovely restaurant. Bustling but not too noisy. The staff were excellent and made good recommendations. £80 for three courses and two drinks each for a couple's date night is really good I think. Toilets are a long walk though!!!
F. v.
Lovely food awesome staff
S. A. k.
To be honest this is one of the best Italian restaurants I have ever been to, and trust me by saying I tried a lot of them (internationally). If you’re in Nottingham you got to come here! 10/10 Service 10/10 Food quality 10/10 restaurant seating set up. Keep up the great work!
A. L.
I have eaten at most of the local restaurants and Piccolino three times.
I have to say the service has been EXCELLENT every time as has the food. There are so many generic bland poor Italian restaurants, Piccolino is not one of them. Their dishes and the produce that goes into making them are all top class with excellent flavour and seasoning.
It’s a shame the previous reviewer had a bad service experience and if someone was like that to me I’d feel the same but I haven’t personally experienced this.
A. L.
Visited on a Saturday evening, it had a great feel to it, a buzzing atmosphere but still private. The service was fantastic, very attentive, waitress took our drinks from the bar area to our table which is always nice but not always expected. Food was great, one of our party sent a fillet steak back as it was not cooked to his liking, it was no problem, a new steak arrived within 5 minutes.
Great food, amazing service and good decor.
S. B.
What a great place for a extended family celebration dinner. Great service from the staff, who were all attentive & responsive (without asking "how's your meal" every second mouthful). Great range of menu choice for all (Italian) tastes and ages; though maybe an even smaller pizza would have been enough for our 5year old. Good choice of wines: whilst our first 2 choices were out of stock a third alternative was easy to find without spending a fortune. But mostly a true taste of Italy . Ottimo
F. W.
Love ❤️ this restaurant. Great atmosphere and sense of Italian fun and service. Separate vegan menu given, if asked for
R. K.
Very nice and the food was excellent and the staff were very smart and very attentive will go again definitely
S. M.
I order their takeaway from Deliveroo. It comes in a massive box to ensure covid19 safety. Food arrived piping hot and was absolutely delicious. I hope they survive this Corona madness because their food is really good and authentic.
S. W.
Second time at this wonderful restaurant. The staff were pleasant and attentive from start to finish. The food was incredible, definately, "world class" taste and presentation. I would highly recommend this authentic Italian restaurant any day of the week.
C. P.
I have only been once in this restaurant. The meal was pretty good and we were treated with great courtesy and friendliness. The prices were reasonable compared to other options in the city. I would recommend this place. Nice atmosphere and comfortable too. My little son who isn't 3 yet loved the pasta a la bolongnese.
g. w.
Service not as good as it used to be. Ordered steak didn't even get asked how I wanted it cooked. Had to go after waiter to tell him. Hopefully it was a bad night!
T. T. w. C.
I'm usually not a fan of Italian food but this place has changed my mind. I love The service the staff are so nice and friendly. The food was very tasty and worth the price. The prices for food was not bad at all .... drinks were a little expensive but for the place couldn't complain. I'd 100% visit and 1000% recommend it x
D. V.
Amazing choice of meals! Very authentic and tasty. Great aesthetics inside too.
D. O.
Food was fantastic and wine just the best. Some people say good food should make you feel happy, food over there does. Great service and guys make you feel like you are in Italy. Love it. Worth every penny.
J. D.
We go alot to the Piccolino in Manchester where the staff are amazing and the food is delicious. So going to a venue with the same name but a second rate ambience was a big let down.
P. S.
Visited on Saturday night and was welcomed with a warm smile and the offer to take our coats from us (a not so common gesture these days). We joined our friends in the bar area and enjoyed a nice glass of wine from a decent selection. Service was attentive (but not too much so), prompt and professional. The food was great and could not be faulted in any way. Atmosphere was appropriate for any occasion as there are several areas of seating to cater for the quiet intimate meal or a more lively group. Would recommend to anyone and will be returning.
M. A.
The Food is fantastic. The service awesome. The staff really friendly. What's not to love.
J. J.
Staff are very helpful and friendly. I have been here twice now and had steak both times, which was absolutely beautiful, filet melted in my mouth.
Zucchini fries are also lovely, I've never managed to find them in the UK, so it's refreshing to see something different!
j. l.
Fantastic place for a meal, food delicious, great menu. Good choice of wines to complement your food. Quality service, very friendly and helpful staff. Not one of the cheapest place to go for a meal, but, truly worth it.
S. C.
Food was fantastic as always 😀
A. B.
Lovely food, friendly and helpful service and reasonable cost. 😊
P. E.
Cosy Piccolino this one with a great atmosphere and friendly and attentive staff. Parking nearby at the Lace Market Car Park. The food is always great in my experience. Recommend the risotto as a starter and any of the pasta dishes for main. They also serve great quality steaks and salads. Brilliant.
M. R.
Love it here: great food, friendly Italian staff and a good atmosphere!
S. S.
Very efficient, friendly service. We each had different mains and we were very happy with them. Lovely interior, very clean and airy.
A. M. P.
Brilliant service and the best food! Best Italian ever, attentive staff who didn’t rush us. The salmon pasta was incredible I would definitely eat there again!!
M. S.
Brilliant menu and delicious food,with lots of choice to suit all occasions! Waiting staff are friendly,and helpful!
H. N.
Got a table outside on Sunday with current regulations. Wonderful food and very friendly staff. Will definitely be back again soon.
R. T.
Great atmosphere and welcoming staff! The food was good, just wish they would ask how the meat should be prepared, as my girlfriend's steak was cooked medium rare and she didn't really like it.

Excellent service, the waitstaff were friendly and interactive and often came to our table to ensure our satisfaction. A member of our group was a Piccolino employee and we recieved special treatment because of this. We recieved delicious plates of antipasti (starters) without extra charge. I ordered the Melanzane alla Parmigiana due to being recommended to do so by one of my friends. However, we both did not enjoy the meal as the expectations of its quality were set very high by the Parmigiana we ate at a different branch of the same restaurant. Overall we had a good experience at Piccolino. They offer very good membership deals if you are willing to register.

Excellent restaurant. Last time I was Saturday night and the service is always exceptional,the staff are friendly also and the most important thing is the quality of the food ,delicious italian style.
A. Z.
I heard many people talking about Piccolino in a bad way. But I really wanted to test before judge it. I think the best compliment is about the staff. We've been served very nicely, at the reception an incredibly smiley guy welcomed us. Our waitress ,Serena...no words but amazing. Lucas super friendly. I couldn't say a bad word about the people we met. Now... inside wasn't really great, reminded me a posh version of a fast food, not a great Italian touch in terms of furnitures. The food, wasn't bad, but wasn't great. The mix of bruschettas was a bit ...honestly tasted like was coming from a can. Our main course,the farfalle al salmone was poor in flavour, not much salmon in there, and the cream was very mild. As Italian myself ,we never put cheese in fish dish, but probably i made a mistake, at least I could had taste something. Let's be honest , Piccolino is just ok,but became a "meh" for prices. I don't think I will be back.

Excellent food, and good service. Food was relatively quick to be served which was nice
T. H.
Great atmosphere and authentic food. Read the menu carefully as you literally get what is described!
S. B.
The staff was prolite and welcoming to iur group, they provided decent bar service until our table was ready and attentive service u till we were seated. The menu offered a lot of authentic meals and the quality reflected the service. Would visit again.
D. W.
Lovely staff, restaurant, ambience, everything. Went for a works do with about 40. Everyone had a name plaque with their choices on, brilliant idea, didn't have to remember anything, and the food was great especially with the large numbers involved.
S. H.
Great service, authentic Italian food. Even when they were exceptionally busy with theatre customers the team worked perfectly well and didn't drop a single flaw. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
J. A.
Had a fantastic time here with my girlfriend, she absolutey loved it and she's hard to please!! The staff greetgree with big smiles and a friendly attitude which instantly makes you feel welcome. The dining areas are nice and cosy and not cramped. The food is varied and interesting, with flavours that are second to none. I had the pasta bolognese which I thought tasted absolutely perfect. My girlfriend had crispy skin duck and thoroughly enjoyed it, infact she wanted a second helping. The waitress was super friendly and she ensured we were well looked after without being overbearing. I will say the bill was quite large, larger than we normally spend but you get what you pay for I guess. Overall would go back in a heartbeat.
B. M.
Fabulous Italian restaurant. Seemingly endless menu choices of delicious food and drink served by gracious and friendly staff. What more could you want? Only 3 minute walk from Lace Market tram stop! Perfect.
W. R. (.
This is an upscale Italian with a wide selection of dishes. It is quite expensive, so if you are after a pizza or a bolognese then you aren't going to get your money's worth here. The fresh fish options are my favourites, along with the chocolate truffles for dessert.
S. S.
Amazing food and service... Authentic Italian taste.. loved it and would definitely recommend this place. Worth every penny
G. S.
Forget the other reviews. I'm 27, brought my girlfriend here, wasn't going to after some of the things I read but I'm glad I did. A very 'family-run' feel to it. Open kitchen, watch your food get cooked. Big and spacious with excellent service. Wine list extensive, menu mouth watering and all at affordable prices. Recommend you find out for yourself than go by some of the things written on here.
N. M.
Lovely up market restaurant. Fairly high range price, however you get what you pay for, as quality was excellent and so was the service. Staff are very knowledgeable about the food and drinks on offer. Fairly big portions for this type of establishment.
j. T.
The food was really good and some dishes were close to the traditional italian cuisine. The prices are decent and the staff is really friendly.
M. W.
Always a lovely place for a meal or a drink. Went for a birthday celebration. Food was superb and the waiting staff were exceptional. No request was too much for them.
D. R.
I do love this place but I tend to find the service is a bit of a lottery, it's either exceptional or non existent and the latter is very disappointing.
T. L.
Amazing food and drink. Fantastic atmosphere
N. B.
I've visited Piccolino on two occasions now. The first time was a pre-show dinner and the second a relaxed lunch.
The first occasion we had a wheelchair with us. The staff took our coats and took the wheelchair away for us after we had all seated ourselves. The staff were friendly and efficient. We ordered starters and they advised us to only order two of them as they were very large. Refreshing to be under rather than oversold.
Between us we ordered two Pane All’Aglio starters. These are very big! One will easily feed 3 people. For mains we ordered the Bucatini alla carbonara. Calzone Vesuvius, Pollo Milanese and Penne All’Arrabbiata . They were all lovely, the only problem was the tomatoes on the Pollo Milanese were a little bitter, but nothing to really complain about.
For Desserts we sampled the Crostata di mele, tortino cioccolato and the frutto della passione. the crostata and the tortino were delicious. The passion fruit sorbet however was incredibly tart. Which is great if you like it that way, but not entirely palatable.
We ordered drinks both hot and cold. The second visit, we both had the Calzone vesuvius and for dessert the Crostata di mele and tortino cioccolato. The staff were once again welcoming, polite and ready to help. I would definitely recommend a visit if you're in the area.
m. s.
The food was just brilliant here. Service was excellent!! I think this is one of the best Italian places in Nottingham!! The only thing is my pocket got a little lighter... A little on the expensive side.

L. S.
Delicious food reasonably priced for such a good restaurant. Nice, fairly traditional decor. Good location near tram route. Would recommend.
A.
Best Italian restaurant I've been to in the UK. Really was not expecting the food and service to be so good
P. D.
Delicious, well presented food. Ideal for special occasions, though maybe a little pricey for everyday meals. I would highly recommend the panna cotta.
R. H.
Went for a work Christmas do. Despite how busy it was the waiting staff were very attentive, and didn't look like they were under pressure at all.
The starter was amazing, although the main was a bit underwhelming, seemed like a reheated turkey dinner. That said, finding somewhere where the service level doesn't drop one bit at Christmas is great.
K. W.
Amazing service, food and atmosphere.
Martina and Mateo always make sure my time is enjoyable and memorable.
J. F.
A consistently good experience, just love the fillet steak, staff are attentive and efficient, the Italian wine list is excellent

Great place despite being part of a national chain. Rating only 4 not 5 as prices are a bit high for the location. Friendly staff who remember you if you visit more than once
