Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Princeton

Absolutely amazing from start to finish. It is obvious why they have won so many prestigious awards. The food and service were both beyond exceptional. We went for my birthday and every staff member we interacted with wished me a happy birthday quietly and respectfully (no crazy embarrassing singing the whole restaurant could hear). They also all made sure my allergies were taken care of. Our server, Suzannah, was amazing. She was attentive and professional. She suggested to make the most of the experience to order every course and share them family style so we could try more and get the full meal progression. We started with the Harissa Marinated Olives, then the Taleggio Stuffed Focaccia, Carne Cruda Crostini, followed by the Tagliatelle Bolognese and Salmone. All of it was amazing and we were so glad we followed her advice and shared it all. The olives and bolognese were just spicy enough without being too hot and the focaccia had the perfect amount of herbs and cheese. The carne cruda melted in our mouths like butter and the sungold broth with the salmone was so divine I would have licked the plate clean if it was more socially acceptable (my girlfriend asked for a spoon for me so I was able to get almost every drop). We did each order our own dessert and tried a bit of each others, both were amazing. I had the chocolate olive oil torte with whipped crema and pistachio (which they brought out with a candle), and my girlfriend had the cherry sorbetta. The torte was perfectly and delicately rich and creamy and had just enough salt from the pistachios and the sorbetto was the perfect mix of sweet and tart. Overall an amazing evening and they even had an awesome surprise birthday souvenir for me to take home ready when we arrived. I have already reccomended this restaurant to friends and we will be back!

Came to celebrate a friend's birthday and loved it!! Food and drinks were SO good, Samuel and Emilio took great care of us. We were allowed to bring in a cake from a bakery and they sliced it for us and provided candles. Would love to come again!

It’s always a great night at Piccolo’s! The food, the staff, the ambiance… it never disappoints!

Best GF food we've had!! Great service as well!! Definitely will go back if in the area again

This was my first time going to Grazie & it didn’t disappoint. The service, drinks, apps & dinner was SO good! I’ll definitely be back! 10/10
