The food is incredible. The service is exceptional. I have been going here since they opened and I highly recommend read more

Food is excellent and the taste of the sauces are very close to the peruvian sauces. Service is good but needs more engagement with guest. Needs more selection in wines. Ambience is clean and remodeled. Great place to eat with family. read more

We had a nice experience here recently for a friends birthday! We went for brunch and tried a few different items. The egg Benedict was great and we liked the beef sandwich as well. The environment was clean and service was friendly. read more

We had delicious dishes at La Piccolina! The Peruvian-Italian fusion is great! The lomo saltado, arroz chaufa, and ají de gallina, papa a la huancaína and pasta were all super flavorful. The white sangria was delicious and refreshing, and even better with their happy hour special, 2 for 1! Service was top notch, attentive and friendly. The maracuyá cheesecake was very tart for me (so if you prefer sweet, you might want to skip it). Overall, great food, great service and casual and beautiful decor. read more

This is one of our favorite places! My husband loves the pizza and I love the lomo Saltado. The service is fantastic as well. It's a family owned business. Support local! Such good food! read more

This place intrigues me. Half Italian, half Peruvian, what could be better? I came in on a lazy Sunday, the restaurant was completely empty, so I walked towards the bar. It took them a minute to figure out I wanted to sit down to eat and I was not a food pickup service. They cleaned up the bar, someone may have been doing homework there, I don't know. There were lots of young people here, so I got the impression that this was a family restaurant. I placed my order and awkwardly got my cold appetizer with my oven hot entree. What's the point of ordering an appetizer if they will bring it with your meal? The food was good. I picked up good flavors. I had a causa de pollo, very well made and fresh. I also had a lasagna that looked like a baked tray of mac n cheese, not typical but not bad. I was also given a thin focaccia with a delicious balsamic, I have to say I enjoyed the balsamic. To end, I got a delicious chocolate cake "Peruvian style", it had dulce de leche. So, the food is good, the flavors are not uniform but I enjoyed the overstimulation. It definitely would take me another visit to really understand what's going on. And that's good, I guess, because I will be a repeat customer. Finally, even though this is a big space and it looks like a fancy restaurant, I experienced a family owned restaurant with sub par service. It is what it is, families don't train the kids to offer good customer service or maximize sales. Keep that in mind with coming here, depending on who is doing the service. Take it or leave it kinda place. And like I said, I'll be back. read more

Amazing!! The food was phenomenal, and great variety! They offer little mini pizza kit for kids to create while waiting on dinner. It was perfect. Great piscco sour read more

Although the name sounds very Italian, the menu (which is extensive) is divided evenly between Italian and Peruvian foods. (They also serve American breakfast.) I wasn't sure the Peruvian food would measure up to other places in town, with all that Italian food competing for attention, but it was top-notch. We started with the fish ceviche, a generous portion of fresh fish with all the classical accompaniments. Next was a terrific shrimp causa, obviously assembled fresh to order. And we finished with the chicken chaufa. I suppose you could count this as a fourth cuisine, since it's essentially Chinese fried rice! Special shout-out to the house-made herbal crisps served with oil and balsamic at the start of the meal. They were great. The food and service were both great, and the space is quite pleasant. Maybe we'll go back tomorrow for Italian! read more

Absolutely our go to neighborhood restaurant. Love the pizza, light on the sauce heavy on the cheese. Great combinations of toppings. People are super friendly and polite, really a great place, large well decorated usually or noisy. read more

WE LOVE LA PICCOLINA!! We have gotten both Italian and Peruvian dishes on various visits and everything has been DELICIOUS. The staff is so kind and it's a lovely little spot. The mushroom chicken pasta was the hit of the last visit, but the chicken parm and Lomo Saltado never miss! read more

Please, for the love of humanity and all that is good, stop selling Lomo Saltado. Pick a cuisine, Italian or Peruvian. I ordered a Lomo Saltado for pickup via Uber Eats. The price was $27 a plate, but thankfully, they had a buy one get one free special. I can honestly say that this was the worst Lomo Saltado I've ever had. The portion was laughable, especially for the price. The food literally had no flavor. I had to add seasonings to make it somewhat eatable. My family and I ended up just eating half a plate as it was just not good. If you end up ordering takeout from this restaurant, learn from my experience and don't order the Lomo Saltado. read more

Everything is delicious. I've been here multiple times and every single time has been amazing. The ceviche, garlic shrimp, and octopus are our favorites ( we keep ordering the octopus other places thinking we are going to get the same and no comparison) for dinner beef sauted is a most , we also love the chicken or fish piccata, the lasagna and my son love the spaghetti meatballs. I'm always looking for fresh tasty and nutritious meal and this is definitely the place! Service is always great and ambience makes you feel as if you are in grandma's table. The place is clean, beautiful and cozy! read more

Just left this restaurant we ordered empanadas and chicken soup and penne alla vodka, everything was terrible with no taste and not cooked properly, starting with our sodas! I never leave bad reviews and hate to do so and maybe I wouldn't have if the owners that were there cared enough to correct the situation or at least apologize ... the penne alla vodka was a joke something I've never seen in my life... to the point I felt disrespected now looking at reviews there are multiple bad reviews on this dish and they still haven't corrected it they simply don't care if customers come back they just want to charge you while your there it's very clear this family doesn't know how to run a business... My penne was over cooked and just sitting in water the dish could of passed off as buttered noodles. They must have fake reviews bc the food is terrible ! Still decided it was okay to charge me when I didn't eat the dish this place is a scam ! read more

Prior to last night , I would have given them 5 of 5. Last night was a 1 of 5. Just yesterday, Made reservation for 5 adults with the restaurant. Arrived at restaurant and had to wait 10 minutes to get seated, with restaurant nearly empty with people at 3 other tables. Everything went downhill from there. Long delays for everything after 25 minutes in restaurant, placed food order. Food came out 1 hr 15 minutes later with no updates and no apologies for delays. The penne a la vodka was nowhere near description on menu that described creamy sauce and was to include bacon. It was just penne pasta with liquified tomatoes with ham chunks instead of bacon and tasted horrible. The Lomo saltado with fettuccini huancaina sauce tasted delicious . The Risotto with shrimp & tenderloin & chili sauce tasted good, but was cold. Nobody around to tell & no refills after food arrived. Another party of 4 was seated next to us. For the last 20 minutes we were in the restaurant, not a single person came to their table to at least take their drink order. After 2.5 hours later we finally left disappointed with this restaurant. Minutes later everyone our the family got sick from the food. Not likely to return anytime soon. read more

Super enjoyed the classic lomo saltado! Super tasty and flavorful and reminded me of good homemade cooking.

This is truly the best Peruvian restaurant I've been to in central FL. La Piccolina is a fusion of Italian/Peruvian dishes. Since the first day I visited, I told myself I would try something different every single time. Here I am, still trying new dishes every time I go! The service is exceptional! Everyone is friendly and the place itself makes you feel at home. When you walk in, it feels like you're visiting your aunts restaurant as it's very "homey". You will not regret trying this restaurant. It's definitely worth the drive! read more

10 out of 10! FAMILY OWNED! Delicious home cooked authentic Peruvian and Italian food. One of the most wonderful meals we've ever had. We came for the Italian, but ended up going with Tanya's recommendations. We started with Grilled Octopus, that was total perfection. It came on a sizzling platter, with crispy skin potatoes and peppers, and fresh chimichurri to dip in. Then we had two Peruvian Risotto dishes, that were both unique, flavorful, fresh and to die for. Mine had porcini mushrooms, and a rich creamy Parmesan sauce, with a pile of yummy big shrimp. My Husband had a Yellow Pepper Risotto that was creamy and full of bold flavors. It was topped with perfectly cooked sirloin steak, and shrimp, with a gravy made of the steak drippings. Everything left us enjoying every single bite. What a treasure of a restaurant! read more

Food was unremarkable. Had chicken parm and the pasta sauce tasted like something you get from a can. Do not recommend

Stop by to check out this place. Located in the Publix shopping plaza. It wasn't packed and was a bit slow. We got seated right away, but it took the waitress to provide water and to take order. They served complimentary flat bread with olive oil. The flat bread was pretty good and seasoned well. I ordered the Mashed potatoes with gravy and roasted chunk. When it first came out I was thinking it looked like hospital food or a frozen dinner plate. I wasn't expecting the roasted chunk to be that thin. The gravy was a bit salty. And I had a random half baby carry on my plate, which was a bit odd. Service could have been better. read more

Sooooooo goood! I did the lunch express and enjoyed every single bite! For $12.99 you get a piece of focaccia bread- which was super flavorful, you choose an appetizer, an entree and a drink. I had the yuca with huancaina sauce as my appetizer and the tallarín verde con apañado de pollo for my entree. Tallarín is basically spaghettis in Spanish. 100% will be ordering from here again! Great quantity size, delicious food with amazing flavor for a great lunch price! Also if you go to dine in there inside is super cute! read more

Amazing experience!!! 10/10 Italian Peruvian fusion restaurant, family owned and operated, food was delicious! for appetizers we had the grilled octopus, shrimp ceviche, flat bread bruschetta, papas a la huancaina; for our main meals we had the tallarín verde with steak, lomo saltado and thfour cheese pizza, for desserts we had the "merengon" (literally one of the best desserts I have had in my life) and Peruvian alfajores. Each dish was so flavorful. The service was great, very welcoming environment, positive vibes, it is evident they put a lot of love in everything they do. We will definitely be back! Highly recommended. read more

Double date night width friends. The server was extremely polite and accommodating. We arrived at different times as one dining partner was late from work. She allowed us plenty of time to talk before even ordering any appetizers. The presentation of the appetizers was pretty incredible. The portions were generous, the food was flavorful, and the cost was reasonable. Each of us ordered a different main course. None of us was disappointed, yet each of us said everyone else's looked good. Again, the food was good, with generous portions, and cost was reasonable. The presentation of the main courses was less artistic than the appetizers. My wife's judge of any restaurant that claims to serve Italian food is the tiramizu. La Piccolina did not disappoint. The plate presentation was gorgeous. It tasted great without being heavy. read more

It's good to find a Piccolina in USA ! For those who are not familiar with La Piccolina, it is a very known restaurant in Peru that specializes in Pastas with a twist of our typical Peruvian flavor ! . We tried several dishes and they were excellent. The spaghetti with pesto sauce, the spaghetti huancaina, the pizzas, the carbonara, there were all good. I was surprised that there were serving some other typical Peruvian dishes that you don't find in the Lima locations, but since we are in USA you can't go wrong with having arroz chaufa, cebiche and papá a la huancaina ! Too bad I don't live in Florida but next time I am in town I'll stop by and visit read more

I've been waiting to try this place for months after seeing all the great reviews and reading the story on their website. We went up to the door. Some customer eating on the other side locked it as we were walking up. We realized there was a second door. WHAT!? Walked in. The SMELL was HORRENDOUS! Walked out! I don't know if it was a really nasty cleaner or a sewer issue. We couldn't deal with it. I was hesitant to post, but then noticed all of the inspection violations! Soooo..."could've been better" is accurate! Done with restaurants that use super-strong chemicals or don't know that their restaurant smells disgusting. A restaurant should smell like good food, if anything! read more

My intention was to try the burger place next door but its either brand new or closed for remodeling hard to tell. Anyway the house made vegetable lasagna is incredible. Easily one of the best ive had, anywhere, ever. I also found the focaccia bread served first with EVOO to be delightful. Come check this place out if you're within a 30 minute drive its worth it! read more

After seeing many reviews about this new Peruvian/Italian restaurant we decided to try it out. First of all, this used to be a portion of The Big Easy, it's amazing what they did with the place now that it's no longer part of it! It's very beautiful inside. The place was busy but we were able to get a table without reservations. They offered QR menus or physical. After we ordered we were given a think bread and olives in oil- delish! Appetizer: we tried the garlic mushrooms. These were big and fresh. They could have used a tiny bit more salt but they were still yummy. It came with a thin pita like bread. Honestly I felt it was better just on its own. Meal: after seeing reviews and seeing the orders coming out I decided to try the Lomo con fettuccine a la huancaina- the sauce on the pasta is made with a Peruvian pepper. Although he says chili in the description it is not very spicy, just a very slight heat which is great for spice wimps like me. The sauce was really yummy. The beef was cooked to order, I asked for medium rare. I didn't notice if it was correct but it was juicy and flavorful from the sauce it was in. My partner ordered the three pepper steak, this was not chunks but rather 2 smaller steaks also cooked to order. The sauce was creamy but good. He really enjoyed this. The meals were so filling we couldn't do dessert but I hope to try some next time. Drinks: we tried both the red and white sangria. Surprisingly the red is the sweeter of the two- both really good, but I think I liked the red Best. We also tried the Pisco sour and the Algarrobina. The Pisco sour is very refreshing and limey. The Algarrobina is thick and good but I couldn't finish it. Service was really friendly and even though we had an error on our check they took care of it right away. Look forward to going back and trying other items! read more

The only thing I love more than food is when it's served with love. The owner and staff at La Piccolina were so loving. They served us as if they were serving their families and I am adamant that that makes the food taste even better than it already is. I enjoyed hearing about the history of their cuisine, the fun facts like Peru having hundreds of types of potatoes, and a variety corn that are not sweet like ours. And most importantly to most I loved the food. My favorite items were the leche de tigre (tiger's milk), the pizza, the pesto pasta, and aji de gallina. If I could, I would bathe in the caramel that was between the cookies for dessert. It was so delicious. The waitstaff was so accommodating. I truly enjoyed my Piccolina experience. I'll be back for more! read more

Very good experience! We had the carpaccio, ceviche and a pizza and all were delicious!

We came by accident when we were driving by, but were we pleasantly surprised. This is a family restaurant serving both Peruvian and Italian cuisine. Owners are both Peruvian and had a restaurant in Peru serving Italian cuisine. So when moving to USA why not serve both Peruvian and Italian. I had Lomo Saltado, I have had this at several Peruvian restaurants, but this was far superior. We noticed a couple sitting next to us ordered a Pizza which looked great. So we came back two days later and ordered the pizza Winter Garden. It was as great as it looked, on thin crust which is our favorite. All in all a great experience and we will certainly make this our 'go to' restaurant. read more

I have had this place bookmarked for a while. The staff managing the restaurant are very welcoming and nice. Unfortunately the youngish server seemed like she hated working.

Hopefully they can work out those kinks. read more

We visited La piccolina on a Friday night for dinner. We were seated immediately and I got a sangria. I ordered a lomo saltado with pesto Peruviana, and it was so good! The meat was tender and juicy and very flavorful. The Peruvian pesto was balanced and creamy and delicious. I loved all of the food that I got. My roommate got the manicotti which was also delicious and made excellent leftovers the next day. We finished off our meals with an order of alfajores. I wish there was a little more dulce de leche in them, but it was an otherwise perfect meal! I love this place and will be back very soon. read more
