Piccolo Restaurant, Huntington Excellent dirty martini with blue cheese olives. Pear salad was perfect and delicious. My wife had the potato crusted cod special and I had the veal chop Merrell. Everything was exceptionally prepared and excellent. Service was terrific and outstanding. This is how a restaurant should be run and how great food should taste. read more

Piccolo Restaurant of Huntington - Italian Near Me - Huntington, New York

Came here while visiting Long Island! All the food and drinks were delicious! We ordered off the daily special menu for Saturday and there were amazing options that it was hard to choose just one meal! Our service was fast and we did not feel like we were being rushed! This is a perfect spot for a girls night or date night! read more

The dress code aint what it used to be. tee shirts. ball caps. what has happend to this place? Look at this plumber. I hope he at least washed his hands before coming. The Veal Chop Flaherty is 2/3 the size and 1/3 more expensive than the last time I was here. They also didnt ask me which sauce. I wanted mushroom and they brought Vodka sauce. The noisy bar crowd must have been there because Buffalo Wild Wings was closed. it used to be a classy place for special occasions. read more

I don't understand the low overall rating! I've lived in Huntington my whole life but really slept on Piccolo until coming here for a birthday celebration. The vibe is old-school, classy, not trendy or tacky and the food is incredible. Our large table split a bunch of apps, including calamari and burrata with peaches, and for a main I got the pappardelle with bolognese, although my friend's pesto gnocchi was a big hit with the table. Everything was delicious, including dessert--on an island full of mediocre and bland Italian food, this is the real deal. read more

Piccolo is now part of the restaurant rotation and everything I've said before still holds true after another fantastic diner Saturday night. Outstanding food, outstanding service and the best stuffed artichoke I've ever eaten! read more

Food was amazing really liked the ambience. The servers were really nice and overall restaurant was very welcoming. We decided to try the restaurant out during restaurant week. And for starters, we had the eggplant and also casino clams. My boyfriend had the chicken al vodka, which was amazing and I had the shrimp oreganata. The drinks were strong. We had the old-fashioned and had a glass of Pinot Grigio. Dessert was good as well. We had the cheesecake and the chocolate lava. Will definitely be going back again. read more

The food always averages out to good. Sometimes it's great sometimes it just ok. Service is always their strong point, staff knows the regulars and their preferences. Drinks are consistently generous pours. Ambiance is very nice. This is always a busy restaurant. There is a reason why. read more

Best bar in town. Best Italian food in Long Island. We typically come here to watch the games or have a nice family dinner.

We came with a large group for a birthday celebration. The zucchini special appetizer was delicious, I had the gnocchi for dinner and added broccoli. It was very filling and some of the best Italian in the area. The service was exceptional, and the drinks were very strong. read more

first time here and tried it by a recommendaction fom a friend from Huntington hospital...first of all, waiter came by table and asked if wanted tap water or sparkling...really??? waiter(latin gentleman) said if I wanted to know anything we needed to know anything from the menu and I said yes there is a I would like to know how big the tail is on your llobster he said I have no idea ! and walked away.....then he came back and he said after realizing he was a knucklehead and blurted out maybe about 7 or 8 ounces... the rest of the night he ignored our table while going out of his way to welcome other people that were being seated.. we did however have the loveliest young lady with a long ponytail with a braid. Love her!!! Class act!!!!! so the pasta was meh and shrimps on pasta were fishy. But I will say stuffed figs were very good! So.. the vibe is local and if ur not don't go because u will be treated as such!!! The food overall was a 5 on a scale of 10....do better piccolos u never know who's coming in!!!!! read more

I made a reservation this past Monday for Sunday April 26 at 5 PM and when I and my guest arrived they said they had no recollection of my making a reservation and they had no table for me and my guest. It was a special birthday celebration also and they were so rude about it!! They said maybe you called a different piccolo. Ummm no absolutely not! read more

This place has an adorable atmosphere! My husband and friends came on a Thursday evening and they had a restaurant week menu which is a prefix menu with selected choices of appetizers, entrees and desserts for $46 PP, great deal which we did! We ordered clams, a pear salad and burrata to start. All great and the pear salad was refreshing! Then had shrimp pasta, and braised boneless beef short rib. The pasta was good but the short ribs were soft and flavor was spot on with potatoes and vegetables! If you eat meat, I recommend ordering this dish! It's a one of the favorite dishes here (yelp) for a reason! read more

Love this restaurant. We go here for birthdays and every Christmas Eve. Nothing compares in Huntington!

Came on a Friday for sat right away, table felt like one too many on the row, didn't like that but once the person behind me left I was okay, Food was solid, service was friendly but a bit diff I think it's a place a lot of close locals go to so the regulars seem to be taken care off more but I didn't mind. I'd say 3.7 is more fair because the food was solid but not as good as other places. Seems like a nice vibe if it wasn't so crowded but it was the holidays might try again. read more

Great deal! Very nice decor, seated right away with party of 4. Did have reservations. Waiter was wonderful (sorry didn't get his name) drinks were on point so was the dinner $49.99 appetizer clams, salad and entree 11/2 pound lobster with veggies (string beans and carrots) with jasmine rice. And choice of dessert. Everyone should try read more

Food is very good. Service was great! We were well taken care of. Nice acoustics It was busy but not very loud

We have been dining at Piccolo's since the restaurant was first opened. Our dining experiences have always been superior, and the service is first class. The restaurant has a traditional wood accented ambience with an open-door dining room when weather permitting. When you enter the restaurant, one will find a cozy bar area tucked to the left of the dining room. We have enjoyed many family dining celebrations at Piccolo's; anniversaries, birthdays, reunions, and presurgical dinners which are the most humorous event. Many of our favorite dishes include Shrimp wrapped in Bacon Special, Tuna Steak Special, and stuffed artichoke when available as an appetizer is ridiculously good. And it was available on our recent last visit. Other favorites we have enjoyed at Piccolo's include eggplant meat balls and the seafood specials which are always good. One of our favorite restaurants on Long Island. read more

I had wanted to try Piccolo's for years. I had high expectations for the food and was slightly disappointed. Although the sausage and broccoli rabe Italian egg rolls were awesome. Linguine and clams were good . My short rib tasted more like a pot roast then a typical braised short rib on the bone. The clams oreganata were just ok - the sauce was think and the breadcrumbs were kind of bland. I prefer Sal D's across the street for Italian. read more

We try to go at least twice a year and the food and service is always excellent. It's become a tradition in our family.

We went there for Easter. The food was fabulous and the service was top notch. Very nice craft cocktails and great wine selection. All in all a great experience. read more

Do not go here!!! My family wanted to celebrate with me my, " five year cancer free Anniversary," with a nice dinner... however, that was far from what happened. It was lobster night. The first of many waiters took our drink and appetizer order. Another waiter took our dinner order. The appetizer came out quickly. Then it seems they forgot we were there! We had to ask busboys for water as we watched table after table of people who came in after us get their meals. In our lifetime of eating in restaurants we never had to wait so long for our entrees. Constantly we would ask after 30 min, 45 min, 60 min... where is our dinner? They would assure us it was coming. Finally, after 1 hour and 20 minutes our dinners arrived. My husband's veal was ice cold! My lobster wasn't cut up as promised and was cold and dried out! Our children's dinners were Luke warm as well! There was no apology .... only excuses on their behalf! Needless to say, we will never return! A happy occasion turned out to be a horrendous one...where we never even ate dinner! After several calls to the restaurant...they still opted to charge us $130 for four meals that were never eaten! This restaurant has poor customer service! read more

This is an AMAZING restaurant. They recently renovated the interior which makes the restaurant a lot more intimate and trendy. The service here is incredible (shoutout to Jeremy, seriously the best server I've had at any restaurant). He makes you feel right at home, makes fantastic recommendations, and always has a smile on his face. I'd also like to highlight how friendly and attentive the bus boys are here. Ricardo is an absolute gem and always makes sure to say hello when we come in. Most importantly, the food is incredible. The highlights for me are: the fried oysters, the veal chop flaherty, and the pesto gnocchi. This is truly a fine dining Italian establishment with the best food and staff. I'd like to thank Jason (the maitre d) who always makes us feel welcomed and appreciated. read more

I used to dine out three times per week at various places in Nassau and Suffolk. But I rarely go out for dinner these days. It's become more expensive and often disappointing. However, Piccolo is easily my new favorite restaurant and among the best I've tried on Long Island. The ambiance, food and service are also at least equal to the best I've sampled in the city without the stuffiness. Portions are larger than expected too. So, after 5 or 6 visits, I can happily offer 5 stars. - Patrick read more

Another very good meal at Piccolo. Healthy and I just called Martin. He may perfectly straight up. Straight up extra cold, olives... Oysters Rockefeller topped with healthy chunks of lobster., salad and pasta with REAL bolegnese sauce. Delicious. Not to be discounted... The service was absolutely excellent. three different people covered our table. No goofy conversation just excellent service... right there when you need them. I continue to believe this is the best restaurant in Huntington. Great food consistently great service consistently. read more

A superlative experience! I have dined at Piccolo many times in the past and have always enjoyed the food and the service. On this occasion, after a gap of many years, I was apprehensive that standards may have deteriorated. Not at all. If anything, things may have even improved. My Thai-style calamari and cod francaise and my wife's Zucchini flowers and eggplant Parmesan were outstanding. I'd wholeheartedly recommend Piccolo Restaurant of Huntington. read more

Wish I could give a 0. Loud obnoxious patrons ... manager was useless. 600 for party of 5 - food fair . Service poor . Ambiance Zero Yes Dean P - my party was there, not sure why you assume I was not there . You should have received my complaint read more

Everything was wonderful, particularly our waiter, George. We especially loved the grilled pork.

Never in a million years would I have ventured here if not for my work wife. On Wall Street in Huntington and in a plaza with many other artsy fartsy shops. Parking in front can be tricky but there is plenty o' parking in the back and across the street. Bar was hopping- ended up getting a table while we waited for our 3rd to join us. Incredibly attentive host & servers; I actually didn't know who was our server because there was always someone coming round to check our drinks, bread, appetizers and entree's. Crab Cakes my friends. Nuff said Wine selection to die for Creative cocktails and fan favorites abound. Family friendly and really warm inviting ambiance. I'll be back! read more

Amazing food and service! Also super kid friendly for us and our 3 year old. We come here once a week!

My husband and I went here for Valentine's Day, and we were SO excited! We have only been out once for dinner since covid started and as a health care worker with a husband who hasn't worked in a year with two little kids, I was looking forward to a night out!!!! I was so disappointed. We were told with our reservation we only had 90 minutes at the table, which I understood due to limited seating. But once we got there I found you could only choose off the Valentine's Day menu-again I get it. They only offered one salad for the salad course and I hate beets (it was a beet salad), so I asked if could order another salad and pay the difference. The waiter sash would check and let me know-20 minutes later we received two beet salads with no explanation. So 20 minutes later a server came by (we had three different ones serving our table so I couldn't keep them straight) asking if we liked our salad. I explained that I had requested if another salad was an option and no one ever got back to me and brought me the beet salad-he took our salads and left without saying anything. Another 20 minutes went by and a new salad was dropped off-and the waiter said not to tell anyone. I would have just picked out the beets if someone had communicated with me what was happening-but I felt like we just kept sitting and waiting. I next ordered a medium well fillet minion, my favorite meal ever saved only for special occasions due to the cost. It came out literally bleeding. But the problem was-after it was dropped off-no waiter came back to check on us for another 20 minutes. Then they offered to cook it more-but at this point we had been here for two hours, my husband was done eating and our babysitter was done for the night and so was I. They took the steak off our Bill after I asked them to, but I thought maybe a manager would come out or they would offer a free dessert. I was so so so disappointed. After not going out after almost a year, I guess I was expecting more, both service and food wise-especially after our Bill came. So sad and won't be back, will explore other Huntington choices. read more

We arrived pretty early on a Sunday night (probably around 5:30) and service was extremely slow, despite being mostly empty. We got the wrong entree the first time around (despite specifically asking for the entree carbonara and not the special) but they swapped it out eventually. The stuffed artichoke (with creamy goat cheese and breadcrumbs) was delicious and very filling. The calamari was average. The Tagliolini carbonara with shrimp was very creamy and surprisingly spicy but had a lot of flavor. read more

I had my daughter's baby shower here on June 1, 2024, and I am so disappointed I was talked into this restaurant. From the minute I got there they were exceedingly unaccomodating, would not let us in to have our proper time to set up. The food was "ok" but the wait staff and manager Jason were so rude. The service was definitely not with a smile and as soon as 4:01pm came they started removing table cloths and vacuuming under peoples feet while still sitting. I will never recommend this place even though the food is ok, because there are way better places in Huntington for the high price. read more

Great meal tonight at piccolo: we started with baked clams and escarole, white beans and pancetta. Both great! Wife had bone in veal chop valdestano and I had rack of lamb. Both superb with hearty portions (dinner tomorrow). Tomorrow is the town St Pattys day parade and the law enforcement guys in full regalia were in the bar with their bag pipes and community spirit. What a bonus. Capped the night off with a wonderful Tartufo. We haven't been here since the pandemic and we forgot how great this local fine restaurant is. We will be back soon. read more

Service was horrific. Took over an hour to get our food. Had to keep asking the waiter and server and we were kept being told , " food will be out shortly." When the food finally came out half the order was wrong. The waiter confirmed the food orders to us numerous times as he appeared to have a brain lapse and couldn't remember who ordered what. No one came over to ask us how our meal went at all. Everything about this place is crap!!! STAY AWAY!!!! read more

I know great Italian! Service with a smile- Great Saturday night spot- Quaint & cozy! I had the Shrimp Arregenate & Linguine Marinara along with plenty of appetizers. Definitely the best Italian restaurant in the Huntington area! read more

We came here for a private event in the back and the staff catered to us with care. The food was out of this world. We had penne alla Vodka, fried branzino, mashed potato, chicken parm, eggplant meatball. The eggplant meatball and the mashed potato were the best bites I've had in my life, pretty dramatic but honestly that is the only way to describe them. Would definitely come back, specially for a special occasion. read more

3/4/23. Food has gone way downhill. 2 of the 3 dishes were less than mediocre. Their new thing is to pack as many people in the "patio" as possible. We made reservations a week in advance for 7:30. Got there early and they wanted to sit us in the patio. We told them we would wait for our reservation and they told us it didnt matter we have to sit in the patio. They give preferential treatment to those they know as they sat people in the main room who came in after us after calling them by name. Service has gotten very slow cause the kitchen cant handle all the extra people the are cramming in. Not the same as it used to be. STAY AWAY read more
