SMALL PLACE-REWARD

by jessknits

We were invited to dinner at Piccolo the other night.The place is small but really comfortable.The music was not loud,lights were dim and romantic.I ordered the grilled tuna special it was the best I ever had,it was rare and seared on the outside with a pineapple glaze.My boyfriend had the veal chop,it looked like a double cut it was so thick and cooked pink on the inside.The only problem Piccolo has is that the portions are so large that we couldn t order dessert.Im so glad we were invited to find this restaurant we will be back.

  • Pros: cozy,romantic,fun place
  • Cons: portions are big,no room for dessert

Probably won't be back

by 75believers

Cool looking place, and a great location. I would avoid for brunch/breakfast though. The food was uninspired and the preparation was just plain lazy. We were both disappointed with our food. Especially the eggs benedict. The dish basically consisted of room-temp, untoasted english muffins, slices of cold cut ham straight out of the oscar mayer pack (vs grilled canadian ham in traditional benedict) and very bland hollandaise. All ingredients seemed to be straight out of the jar or 12-pack, directly from the grocery store down the block with no attempt whatsoever to so much as "cook" the ingredients.

Maybe the place is a hidden gem like the other reviews suggest at other day parts, but there's a clear lack of effort at brunch.

  • Pros: Atmosphere and location pretty good.
  • Cons: Food was just bad.
