Food is very tasty. Service is more than great. Ambiance is perfect. Overall, it's a very quaint place, where all the waitresses and waiters are at all times on top of everything making our experience to be the best.

Highly recommended! I think it was one of the best Italian meals we've had. A nice location near the park. We sat in the outside area, the restaurant inside is very quaint with two floors. The service was exceptional as was the food. I tried these gnocchi with Branzino ragú and I want to go back and have some more!! We also had flatbread, and the búfala salad, both amazing. We ordered the table side tiramisu, such a nice way to prepare a delicious dessert. If you're in NYC this is a must!

Piccola Cucina uptown was a random find that we found because we needed a place that would seat 2 fast, and this place ended up being a great surprise! They accommodated us so quickly, and the service in general was so friendly and personable and nice. The restaurant's vibes and ambiance felt like we were transported to a small mom and pop restaurant in Italy, with all the fun decor and so many employees being Italian. It was also great to see the manager/owner walking to each table to serve and also ask how our food and experience was. The food itself was very well made. I cannot recommend the zucchini flower starter enough it was delicious. The tiramisu was made table side, which was a cool experience. My favorite bite of the night though was the chocolate mouse dessert. It was spectacular!

Had made reservations for dinner night with my family, and was greeted by a very friendly hostess who got us seated on our table. The ambiance and setup is very romantic and perfect for a date night of a family meal. We got straight to ordering and got a bottle of Valpolicella ($129) which was absolutely delicious. Other things in our order included a tasty Caprese Salad ($21.95), and absolutely deliciously prepared Bucatini cacio e pepe ($26.95), Pappardelle ai funghi porcini ($25.95), and Cavatelli con ragù di agnello, carciofi ed erbette ($26.95). I am no Italian to certify amazing Italian food, but of all the Pasta's I've tasted in my life, this was the best pasta I've ever had. Flavor packed, perfectly cooked, and delicious food! Service was excellent, and food arrives within 7 minutes of ordering. Friendly staff too. Noise levels were slightly on the above average end. Will definitely recommend to friends and family and will definitely visit again!

Sicilian Italian cuisine at its finest with an extensive menu and a fantastic service provided during our dining experience. She was top notched and ever so kind. Because we just wanted to try this place even though we weren't hungry, so we shared the squid ink spaghetti with calamari. Great sauce and not heavy at all.

Very delicious Italian spot! We came here Saturday night and I would recommend a reservation. The interior is rustic and cozy. We got the burrata to start, which was delicious. We also got the truffle focaccia but we would probably try something else next time. We also tried the taglietelle verde and the lobster fusilli. Both were amazing and I would recommend. Overall, I'd go again just for the burrata and two entrees!

Walked in around lunch time on Monday and got seated right away. Super cute little cozy place. The staff were amazingly friendly & welcoming. The food of our choice was so delicious, I wish I lived closer to frequent here more.
