After a bad lunch the day before at different Cafe (see other reviews) We thought we would visit Piccolo because it had great reviews. We were not disappointed in the slightest. The customer service was fast and super friendly, we had our perfect coffees served 2 mins after we sat down, and two mins after that our meals and the lemon meringue pie was spot on.

This I feel will become the one and only Cafe that we frequent when we are in Taupo in the future. Just a shame you do not open nights :P

Well done guys!!

Great place to go on a cold Taupo morning,always warm & toasty inside. I go to Taupo every May & always call in here for breakfast at least once. Coffee is flawless & the staff are super friendly & welcoming & very attentive. Cabinet is always full & everything looks very tasty. See you in May! :)

So delicious, staff friendly, food super fast, and nice bathrooms, the fries are great also. One of the best cafes Ive been to. On the expensive side and could provide the Sunday papers for diners to linger over, but still, I will over look these things for the delicious food and great service.

Best cafe I have been to! The staff are amazing, and the food is incredible. Everything is done with utmost perfection. Piccolo really take pride in what they do and it shines through in quality every time.
I took my family here for the first time last weekend and they are still raving about it a week later. Piccolo is a vital stop in Taupo! Cheers guys!

The best professional service in Taupo! The staff here are greatly efficient with noticeable enthusiasm toward their service. A creative breakfast menu with good options if you feel like something a little different. Quite highly priced meals however, are balanced with well priced cabinet food options.

Very good coffee the only place in the last dozen coffees where a Cappuccino was not a flat white with chocolate and a bonus it was hot also.
Great selection of cabinet food to eat inside or if you prefer the outdoors some exquisite outdoor seating.
You can nicely top this off with a classy wine from the desire able selection.
