First time eating here. It was just OK. For the cost, there are better Italian restaurants in the area. Service was a low point. Probably won’t return.

This was a pleasant evening dinner w my husband. Restaurant was very crowded. On my reservation I requested to NOT be seated at tiny tables by the wall. The hostess did attempt to seat us at a tiny table but with just a few minutes wait a larger table became available. Hostess was very busy and did an excellent job getting guests seated. I enjoyed chicken Marsala. Husband had chicken parmesan. Both servings were enough for two meals-which we brought home. One of our favorite restaurants. Servers and clean up crew quickly cleaned and set up tables. Excellent service.

Piccolo was excellent. The only thing I have negative to say is the service was fair. I could see that they didn't have enough wait staff for the tables. But, when you have to wait 15 minutes or more after you have gotten seated is wrong. The food was stupendous. We were a table of six and each of us ordered different things. The food was also plentiful. We all went home with bags of food.

The place is really a "local" atmosphere. The servers, bartender greeted a number of patrons by name. Food was good but nothing special....please don't misunderstand, if you are near the place, looking for a good meal at a fair price, it is a good choice. We will not RUSH back, but you will see us there again in the future.

Our table was in the middle of the restaurant, between two other tables. Servers knock into my chair, our table, and me all night. Not one person apologized. The food was good, but hard to enjoy when getting bumped into all night.

bad service and no apparent management. the server was totally untrained. our food took nearly an hour to prepare and deliver. halfway through he let us know, no lasagna and they would have to reselect. our waiter George kept telling us we had to be patient. the food was just ok. Cleveland offers many good pizza options, this was not one of them. very disappointing, and no one seemed to care.

We arrived for our 6:45pm reservation to celebrate our anniversary. We were told it would be a few minutes they were just finishing up at the table before us We chose go get a drink at the bar Approx 30 minutes waiting the hostess says “open table” didn’t do a good job making our reservation, and suggested we eat at the bar. We told her we didn’t want to eat at the bar and we would wait for a table. An entire hour went by and the bartender asked what time our reservation was as she poured us another drink. She tried to check on our table and see what was happening. After waiting at the bar 1.5 hrs we were finally taken to our table which was a booth in the back of the restaurant by the restrooms Our waitress was nice and we ate a very tasty dinner. The problem we had was the freezing air that was coming down the back hallway. The waitress said “they’re not supposed to open that door during dinner, I’ll yell at them”. It got so cold I had to finish dinner w my coat on. We were too cold to stay for coffee and dessert Our food was very good but never once did anyone offer an apology for our very long wait, it would have been nice if they bought us a drink or appetizer while waited. There was no sign of a manager anywhere. Only an awkward girl as the hostess who only wanted to tell us why “open table” made us wait 1.5hrs We also put on the reservation we were celebrating an Anniversary but there was no mention of that at all If we ate at Piccolo again it would only be carry out

The food was well prepared, flavorful and portions were adequate. The biggest issue was having a 6:15 reservation and not being seated until 6:55! The host blamed the problem on Open Table overbooking. Said the restaurant has no control over how many and when people are booked. No apologies whatsoever for the wait. Unacceptable.

Great food. Great service. Wash your table cloths. They were stained and dirty. The part that hangs down into your lap. Pretty disgusting. Noticed halfway though evening and didn’t want to make a scene in a busy restaurant. But may keep me from returning.

Family get together. Took a long time to receive food, after drinks and appetizers. Then they forgot one our daughter food. Was sitting on counter and no one checked until we flagged down the server. Server was apologetic and did find order. But then it was cold and had to go back for a reheat . Had to find a server then to reheat. Most of us were then done w our meal. Also brought an incorrect meal to the table at first. They were busy and we figured they were short staffed. Food good

Had reservations and it took three people before one of them seated us. Pasta was way over cooked. Asked twice for bread and also asked for some butter which they never brought. I kn ok w they bring the oil for the bread but one person wanted a simple thing like butter.
