As cute as a button with great food and atmosphere. Pretty cheap but with good quality food on offer. We had the garlic bread where I could have licked the crumbs off the plate it was so good! The pastas and pizzas my table ordered all were delicious and filled hungry tummies. A bonus being BYO. Don’t expect full on attentive service but the couple that run it are a charming authentic Italian couple. I would definitely go back. Just book a table as it is a tiny restaurant.

AMAZING! This is one great restaurant!
My partner and I went to Piccolo Willis St for a romantic dinner for my birthday. It was the perfect setting for a romantic night out. The service was excellent and the food was unbeatable. The taste, the smells, the atmosphere – it made us feel as though we were actually in Italy. I would recommend this place to anyone. Just make sure you book in advance as it is very small the tables fill up pretty quick. I will definitely be returning.

We went to Piccolo tonight for the first time, a little dubious after reading some of the reviews on here. Contrary to the feedback, it was excellent! It was cute, the service was unintrusive, the ambience was appropriate, the food and service were exceptional. We would recommend it, it’s a shame to see people’s perceptions are influenced so heavily by one person’s negative encounter. Great value for money, you get the true Italian experience.

Where do I start….
As soon as we got there the waiter was rude about our booking joking that we would have to pay $1 per question we asked. It took a long time for the menus to arrive at our table, the food was VERY average. We ordered pizzas which were very bland and plain, the lasagne was very small and cheaply made not worth $16 at all!!! Just bits of small lasagne mixed with a tiny amount of mince. (I could make way better at home!) One of our group was short changed by $11 (didnt fully realise till we left) but didnt really want to go back after our experience with the rude owner/waiter.
Also we found it very inappropriate that the owner had a table of friends that arrived after us and were served right away. One of us answered a phone call and the table of friends were extremely rude and embarrassed us in front of the entire restaurant.
The owner/waiter was very patronising throughout the evening and even though it is a BYO restaurant we felt uncomfortable to drink and talk amongst ourselves.

We had a terrible experience at this restaurant. The waitress had very poor customer service, then tried to overcharge us for the meal. When we pointed it out, she abused us and refused to budge. She then got her manager on the phone and he abused us some more, despite the fact that we were being polite and reasonable. In the end we just paid for what we had ordered, and we were told that we were cheapskates (even though we had definitely exceeded the minimum charge per person). It was unbelievable – we couldn’t believe that such extremely rude and abusive people could be running a restaurant. We will never be going back, and I would recommend staying away from this place.

Amazing home cooked Italian food in a fantastic small and friendly restaurant. Mama does the cooking and papa serves it. Great Great great atmosphere loved it. If you want great home cooked Italian food in a none pretentious cafe this is a must.

A lovely tiny little restaurant, filled with Italian curios. Only seats about 12 in total but the space and decor make for an environment that is most charming. The food is modest in price with a meal sized pizza only costing $15. Great Italian wines to compliment solid, if not exceptional food add up to a place well the visit.

Others have commented on the speed of service, I have never found it a problem…

What a wonderful little place. Snuck in before the crowd(only a small place but better if not so many people). Food was great, tasty and simple, the way pizza should be. Arrived on time and cooked to perfection. Get the window seat if you can. Very recommended

I loved it! Absolutely delicious food, fab rich decor and reasonable prices. What more can you ask!

Teeny-tiny but can add to the atmos – pays to book ahead as popular venue with locals from surrounding apartments. Beautiful cassata icecream, recommend!
