What used to be one of the greatest Italian food shops in the world (no kidding) has now been…read moreconverted into a sort of a highly expensive appetizer bar with bistro tables. Nearly all of the gourmet food products have been removed, so this absolutely is not a place to go food shopping as there are far better places in Rome to shop for excellent cheese and meats. It is an absolute shame that this wonderful shop has been ruined. All the wonderful employees are gone. What were they thinking??? People from all over Rome and the world used to come here for the most prized food products from around Italy. Now, there is essentially no reason to come here. Shame!!!!

We thought it would a mediocre cheese board like the ones we've been getting in the USA. When the owner brought the cheese board to us, we were blown away. This guy is passionate about his food.

Cheese board for 3. Absolutely amazing! Great service and view from outside is right on the colosseum

Huge selection if you are going for a bottle, including some international selection. But primarily Italian. There is also an option to dine in, we didn't.

With a minimum amount of tables able to be dined at inside, if you are able to grab a place, then, by all means, do it. My nephew and I enjoy finding these smaller, fine food establishments and this one did not disappoint. This was to be our last lunch in Roma so we joyfully consumed the very tasty mozzarella and ham and the Bruschetta appetizers and then I had my way with an incredible lasagna, where Il Piccolo did not skimp on the meat (as is done is some restaurants). Great meaty and cheesy flavor with a hint of spinach and some other subtle spices. Pure heaven. My nephew had ravioli which must have been great as he did not speak after receiving his plate. Highly recommended -- to one and all

The staff was friendly and, in the typical way of Rome, didn't rush us at all. We sat and read through our Rick Steves' guide book and just enjoyed a good hour of conversation and taking in the sights and sounds around us. You have to walk past a small gauntlet of eateries with waiters or hosts outside encouraging you to come to their restaurant, as is typical in areas where there are many tourists. When we came upon this Enoteca Piccolo no one was doing that here, and no one did during our entire stay. It was quaint and charming and quickly filled up with other Italian-speaking patrons. Since I've now read other reviews about their good wine selection, I'd like to go back to try that, too.
