Situated in the heart of Cheshire and boasting the stunning Tatton Park on it’s doorstep, historic Knutsford is undisputedly one of Cheshire’s prettiest villages. Knutsford’s is an intriguing mix of past and present: think cutting-edge businesses housed within listed buildings, and high-end interior designers next to cosy tearooms. Knutsford is a town of contrasts, which is why it’s the ideal location for Piccolino. Piccolino’s ethos has always been to mix classic with contemporary to create something that truly is the best of both- that’s why Piccolino’s menu offers an array of Italian classics with a distinctly modern twist. Piccolino, an authentic Italian Restaurant, is a proud fixture of the Knutsford dining scene. Ideally situated in a central village location on High Street, Piccolino in Knutsford boasts an open kitchen, second floor bar area and a substantial rooftop terrace featuring a fully retractable roof, for the ultimate alfresco experience rain or shine!

    We loved the bar and had a delicious afternoon tea. Fran and all the staff were extremely accommodating and made my mum and I really happy. Lovely birthday celebration for mum in sophisticated elegant ambience. Initially the music was a bit loud but they identified this and addressed it without prompting

    The risotto was lovely one of the best I have ever tasted and we were very impressed, the toilets, ambience and everything were perfect, the only negative thing I would say is that the sticky toffee pudding dessert required more sauce and got a bit dry but everything else was perfect thank you, will definitely return

    Our experience at Buxton Crescent was wonderful. I went for an afternoon tea with my partner and her two children. Our hostess was very welcoming and offered us tea and water upon arrival. We were then given a good explanation of what to expect from the afternoon tea package and she even went as far to accommodate and change the menu around to be more child-friendly. The food was excellent and the portion sizes were great as well. Overall a wonderful experience and would definitely go again in the near future.
