Piccoli Trattoria

This is such a cute, quaint place. The atmosphere is lovely. I came here with my boyfriend. I got one of the specials, a pesto gnocchi dish topped with burrata. It was delicious; my boyfriend got a bass dish and I haven’t had a fish that good that wasn’t sushi. Very well seasoned. Had some nice wine as well. We tried almost every dessert and my absolute favorite was the flourless chocolate cake. It was so decadent and the cream topping helped balance it out perfectly. Service was also 10/10. Taylor made sure we enjoyed everything. We’ll definitely be coming back soon!

My sister and I, who traveled to Italy together, both fell in love with this place. You really feel transported, and Gabriel was part of that charm, just amazing. Loved the food and the drinks and they even made us a little special dessert, which was to die for. The inside space is quaint. The outside has three different Areas of seating, which also have heat lamps. Will be back often. I highly recommend.

This restaurant was packed upon arrival. Luckily we had reservations and were seated right away. The seating is a bit too close where you feel you’re eavesdropping on diners next to you. We asked our waitress to give us a few minutes to decide and she completely disappeared. We chased another who finally took our order. We had Prosciutto di Parma followed by Black Spaghetti and Roasted Stripped Bass. Food was delicious but service not so great. As much as I enjoyed the food it’s very unlikely I would return because of the service.

Hubby and I came here for dinner while we were in the neighborhood. I called up to ask about a table and spoke with Gabriel. He said to walk in and will see what he can do. He said that sometimes we may need to wait for a few minutes. We had a table quite close to another table, but that’s fine because the food smells so good! Our waitress named Taylor. She could be Taylor Swift’s sister or cousin. With that red lipstick, what could go wrong? Very pretty red! We had a nice arugula salad with a fantastic taste of half corn on a cob and sweet peppers on top with grated parmesan cheese. This salad was incredible! Get it! Pay it! Worth it! Then I ordered black linguini with crab meat. Another excellent flavor sauce is the crab meat mixed with Al Dante linguini. Now that’s how you prepare the best pasta! Just like the Italian cafe in our neighborhood too. Hubby ordered striped bass served with capers and spinach. I highly recommend all three dishes. We didn’t end our “food trip” with dessert because we were filled up. Believe it or not, there were no leftovers yay! That’s the way we do it: money for nothing, and the food’s not free! We had the best meals with excellent service from a look-alike Taylor Swift waitress. The whole team worked hard. A lot of actions here, super fast, efficient, ready to go and leave. You can stay longer, no problem, they won’t chase you out. Gabriel was so busy handling tables and was excellent at placing guests to their tables. He took care of the patrons very well! Thanks for the lovely dining experience! We’ll be back!

OMG, can you say AMAZING meal at AMAZING prices? When I did my research for an Italian restaurant, let me tell you, about 500 came up in my search. Ok, I’m exaggerating, but no joke, there were SOOOOO many. How is a girl to decide? After reading reviews and looking at photos, I went with this one bc it looked authentic, and it sure was. The food was soooo good. I mean we ordered anything and everything. The four us shared two apps, ordered four individual entrees (this place doesn’t mess around with portions), we ordered three desserts and a bottle of wine. The bill was just barely $200. I don’t think they have cocktails but that’s ok, you gotta have your vino with the pasta. Service was top notch. I think it was the owner that was serving us, and he did not miss a beat. We were the last people there and never felt rushed at all. This one of the very few restaurants that we took the subway for. I originally wanted to try to walk to all our destinations (we were staying in Williamsburg) but this restaurant was well worth the trek. I will be back!
