⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (20 stars if I could!)
We came to Piccola Italia Restaurant on a whim, and the moment we walked in, we were instantly transported back to our hometown in upstate New York. The atmosphere was exactly what you hope for in a true Italian restaurant—people talking, laughing, and genuinely enjoying each other’s company. It felt warm, lively, and authentic.
The service was outstanding from start to finish, and the food somehow managed to be even better. We had the pasta fagioli, the Taste of Italy with three pastas, and for dessert, the cheesecake and the Italian almond rainbow cake—every single bite was incredible.
What truly sets this place apart is the owner. He personally came to each table, talking with everyone and making you feel like family. That kind of hospitality is rare and unforgettable.
We will come back here forever. Hands down, this is the best place I’ve eaten since moving to Florida in 2021. Piccola deserves far more than five stars—20 stars all the way!
Sorry not too many pics as we gobbled up the food the second it hit the table!

First time at a local family owned place and IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT!! Everything was fresh and delicious. The staff were all so friendly and helpful. I got the seafood pasta and the most delicious pumpkin soup I have ever had in my life!!! A bottle of red was only $18. We will definitely be back.

The pasta really is homemade. The food is delicious and the service is friendly and attentive. This was our first time here and I can’t wait to come back. I had the largest most delicious calzone and my hubby had some amazing pasta. This is a true owner run Italian restaurant. Not a chain. All of our food was freshly made and really delicious.

First time eating here. The host greeted us in a friendly manner. Our waitress was nice and friendly. Service was good. Restaurant was clean. We both liked both of our meals. Would definitely return.We even got a couple of small Cannoli deserts because we were first time customers. They were sooooo good. Was a nice gesture.

Customer service was AMAZING! Super friendly greeting. Warm lighting for a cool dining experience. Don’t be scared to order take out.. They reinforce the larger “family” orders with a cardboard box bottom to ensure safe travels home.
Pizza was GREAT!! Dough was made not thawed and pizza was full of great topping portions. Don’t forget to grab a cannoli for dessert. The stuffing was super creamy with mini chocolate chips inside.
Only cons, I Was not a fan of the pasta.. spaghetti sauce has a peculiar taste. Like Chef Boyardee vibes you can’t remove from your childhood memories! Meatballs tasted full of fillers.. could’ve used more meat.

We were delighted to try this restaurant since we had been by it a couple times. Linda was great to recommend a variety of dishes to try. The Tour of Italy and Alla Romana were two dishes we would eat again. They were delicious and the garlic bread paired with it nicely. Their pizza was great. Their cannolis were amazing, very good and made to order.

It was the first time I went and the amazing service and the delicious food. I waited a few minutes for the table and the people leaving told me that the food was delicious. They weren’t wrong!! Super recommended and I hope to return soon.

We had a really great experience at Piccola Italia. While everything was really good for us the Chicken Alla Blu (which I believe is a house dish) and the Pasta e Fagioli (soup) really stood out. We also had the Taste of Italy which is a sampler of their dishes, fried mushrooms and a cannoli. All excellent.
It also has to be said that the service was absolutely outstanding. Sometimes my wife and I get two entrees and share them and to do this (and not be a bother) we just ask for an extra empty plate. But our server RIKKI went above and beyond by having our entrees divided up and plated separately. Thanks to her and the kitchen for doing that, really nice touch. Overall a really nice meal, can’t wait to get back.

It is a very cozy place. Brings back memories of the 90s. I honestly enjoy that a lot. The hours are the worst part. Open only 3pm to 8pm. The waitress was very nice and since it was our first time we got free cannoli!! The food itself was ok. I had the chicken marsala with rigatoni and a side of Brussel sprouts. It wasn’t bad but I felt that maybe because we were near the closing hour it may not have been prepared as well as earlier. IDK. I will go back to try the pizza at some point.
