"The food is decent, but it used to be better, in my opinion. I seem to keep getting this same waiter who keeps a polite, attentive tone without actually paying much intention. It's impressive, but every time I see that he's my waiter, I anticipate a very (VERY) slow-moving meal with many inconveniences (i.e. dinners being served to different people at my different as long as 30 minutes apart).
BYOB is great."

"This was a great dining experience.The owner goes out of his way to greet each table,and satisfy everyone.He truly cares that everyone
enjoys themselves and is satisfied.
The eaitstaff is spot on.The food quality is very good,well prepared.
We come here quite often,it's hard to find a local restaurant that has these great qualities.
It's also a BYOB

"Everything was excellent at Piccolo's! We started off with the Antipasto Misto Per La Famiglia which was outstanding, my wife had the Pasta Alla Vongole which she thoroughly enjoyed. I had the Chicken Fracese with Linguini which was perfectly prepared and our children had the Ravioli and the Baked Ziti. The service was outstanding, our waitress Gina did an excellent job. We look forward to coming back in the near future."

"We had to wait thirty minutes past our reservation and there were tables open. Two four tops we left unused for a reservation an hour after ours. If they seated us and the other family waiting, they could have turned the tables in time, made more money and made two families happy instead of frustrated. We had plans after dinner, and the extra wait put a damper on the evening. The food was good though."

"It was my wife's birthday and we brought a party of (7);we had a very enjoyable time. The food was very good, my veal marsala was tasty as was my wife chicken Saporito. Second time I ordered the veal marsala - favorite. And my daughter loves their gnocchi's. Our waitress was very attentive and friendly. And the low backround music(live guitar singer)made for an enjoyable and relaxing evening. The price was very reasonable under $200.00 w/tip included however didn't order any appetizers. Highly recommended especially on Friday and Saturday with live music. BYOB!"

"We had a reservation for Valentine's Day dinner, we had to wait approx. 40 minutes to get seated, so did everyone els with a reservation. When we finally were seated we did not see any waitress for another 10 minutes, by this time we needed something in our stomach, we were rushed to order our meal and I asked for bread since everyone else sitting near had theirs, our waitress said someone else would drop off the bread, which did not happen,salad was delivered, still no bread. I asked for bread 3 times before it finally arrived. I felt the quality of service and food were below par. Don't accept reservations if you can not accommadate the guest, it is not leaving people with a feeling of "We need to go back, what a great evening"!"
