I'm definitely going to give this place another chance because I heard great things about it, the…read morestarters were all wonderful. The crab and carbonara pastas were delicious, but I was beyond disappointed with the bolognese. It's obviously the restaurants recipe and people must like it if it's still on the menu, but in my opinion is was very sloppy. I did not enjoy it at all. I ended up switching dishes with my husband (he ordered the crab pasta). We also ordered cocktails and they were all delicious. The staff was very friendly, the restaurant is very nice. We also liked that many of the staff was Italian or my husband seems to think so, so that was cool. Next, we will be trying the location in Didsbury.

Piccolino is a reliably nice place to eat, the restaurants are all very elegant and the staff are…read morevery friendly. We went on one of the best evenings of the summer so even though it was Tuesday it was packed and service was very slow but we weren't too bothered given the pleasant weather and surroundings. Food wise we had decent seafood starters of crab and scallop and then bf had a calzone which he really enjoyed and I had tagliatelle with summer truffle - I went for large which was a bit of an error as it was massive but somehow I still managed to eat it all. It's a nice touch that the menus contain information about where all the ingredients are sourced - despite Piccolino being a chain you get the impression it's food and service first rather than brand (or quality food and service is the brand). I don't think you will have a mindblowing dish here but you won't go too wrong either.

The place has a family feel to it and the waiting staff are so welcoming and make the dining experience a truly enjoyable one. I would recommend the pizzas and the garlic bread with NQ sauce - absolutely out of this world!!! Prices are really reasonable and I spend as many birthday celebrations and anniversaries eating here. 10/10

The menu is extensively pleasing, there is literally something for everyone. I had a venison dish of the special menu, the flavors were constructed very well. They have pizza, pasta, salads and main meat or vegetarian dishes. My wife had a great dish with pancetta, mushroom and truffle oil. It was perfect. They have Italian beer on tap, local beers in the bottle, Italian beer on tap and a great wine selection.
