Visited tonight with my parents, I got the Ethan Marco pasta, without cheese since I am vegan, as well as the vegan cheesecake for dessert and they were both wonderful! The restaurant has a great atmosphere, as well as great vegan options (which is uncommon to find in this area). Thanks again to the owner Steve and our awesome server Markee for providing us with great service, we will be back again! read more

Piccolo - Ethan Marco pasta (vegan version) - Italian Near Me - Nixa, Missouri

My husband, daughter and granddaughter were trying to decide on dinner and decided on Piccolo's and boy are we glad we did! Lasagna is superb, chicken marsala was delicious. Warm breadsticks to die for! read more

Delicious food and fast and friendly service. The restaurant was clean and nicely decorated. Nice place for a special occasion

Lobster Mac and cheese was delicious! Service was good and great atmosphere. Will definitely go back!

As a northeastern native with Italian roots, this is the best Italian I can find in this region. Period.

If you haven't been to Piccolo in Nixa...you are missing out! The food is fabulous, the staff are on top of it-5 star service! The atmosphere is relaxing so you have time to enjoy your experience. My favs include Italian Nachos and Ethan Marco, but honestly have never had a bad meal at Piccolo. read more

This place is incredible! You have to try the baked ziti...and the antipasta salad is absolutely the best salad I've eaten.

This place has a very pleasant atmosphere. The servers are extremely professional and take great care of your party. The food is very tasteful and seems to be authentic as well. What more can be said? Great restaurant. read more

Being a local, I was surprised I've never heard of this place. I was pleasantly surprised the food was so good and the service was great as well. I like that the pasta isn't drowning in half rate sauce, there is just enough sauce and just enough seasonings for your taste buds to search out all the flavors. read more

Piccolo - Italian Near Me - Nixa, Missouri

We ate here on Friday and the food and the service were both amazing! Can't wait to try their lobster Mac n' cheese next time!

This is a great place in Nixa thats opened in the last year. We've been there a couple times now and I've really enjoyed everything that I've got each time. I haven't reviewed a lot of restaurants over the past 10 years (my last elite status was 08!) But honestly I haven't been too many new unique places in the area worth reviewing. Living in Nixa for about 2.5 years now I would say this is my favorite meal in Nixa if not then the top two. I'm getting picky in my old age so that means fewer places all the time meet my grumpy standards but if I was going to send anyone out for a meal on me, it would be here. read more

Amazing! Get the jalapeño corn rigatoni! It'll change your life! You'll want to lick the plate clean!

Husband and I just moved to the Springfield area from Northwest Arkansas and were excited to figure out some of our favorite local restaurants, and I must say, Piccolo's is number 1! So delicious. Some of the best Italian we've had. We had gone to Archie's prior in pursuit to find a good Italian restaurant, don't waste your money there and try Piccolo's. read more

We celebrated our 45th wedding anniversary here and , as usual, Piccolo did not disappoint. From the warm welcome at the door, the patio seating (safer), to the efficient waitstaff and delicious Italian meals, Piccolo is a Nixa treasure. Appreciated the COVID precautions--they show Piccolo cares. read more

The food was great. The service was odd. Less than 5mins after we had our food we had wait staff ask if we wanted boxes for our food. We have 3 servers ask to box our food up when we were obviously still eating. read more

Love this place really good food and very nice staff. They are also supporters of our schools.

The food was good but nothing too impressive. It is basic Italian food and I felt the food needed a little more seasoning. Might go back but not our first pick. read more

Great service and wonderful food. I can't say enough good things about this place. And to make it even better they have a wine Wednesday special read more

I have eaten here several times, the service and food is fantastic! One of the first times I was in, I was picking up food to take to my daughter's who had just had my grandson. I asked the manager, who I recently learned is the owner if he would sell me a bottle of wine to take with me and he handed me a bottle and congratulated me on my new grandson! Great Place!!!! read more

My family and I were pleasantly surprised by Piccolo. The food was quite good. The portions are huge, and the food had rich and abundant flavor. Service was friendly and prompt. The ambiance did not feel like you were in a strip mall. read more

Food is excellent! Authentic Italian cuisine in a romantic atmosphere. I have eaten here several times and have never been disappointed.

Best pizza I've ever had, hands down. And I've only had the vegetarian pizza. Blew me away!

I was very disappointed with a title like vest in 417 you expect amazing food, I guess the reviewer as never been to fizolis cuz their Italian food is way better. The spinach dip was super runny ( prolly didnt drain the can of spinach before using it). the chicken parm was served with Alfredo instead of spaghetti which is a strange choice. I like Alfredo as much as the next person but chicken parm needs spaghetti, dont mix sauses on the same plate. The only thing I finished was my salad and the little Caesars style breadsticks. I wont go back. read more

What a pleasant evening dinner! Nice wine selection, with corking option. We selected the basil pesto angel hair pasta w chicken and chicken parmesan...both were delicious, starter salads fresh, crisp with I believe homemade dressings! Portions large enough to have extra for lunch tomorrow! Yay! Our server, Sarah (?sp), was great! Thank you, we were very pleased. read more

We used the free appetizer and got the cheesy bread which was amazing. I ordered the aspersita (?) salad and the bf ordered the chicken Alfredo. Plated absolutely beautifully. The service was top notch and the owner is fantastic. Definitely going to be a frequent place for us! read more

Love this place. It has become my favorite place to eat in Nixa. Food is always wonderful. Tried the pork chops for the first time and they were outstanding. Save room for the butter cake and soft serve ice cream....it is amazing. Service is always good, as well. read more

Very impressed with this new restaurant addition to Nixa. Easily the best sit down italian restaurant in Nixa. Friendly and helpful staff and tasty traditional italian dishes. Overall a higher caliber restaurant for this area! read more

This was a great choice for dinner! Atmosphere was warm and charming, the service was outstanding, and the food was out of this world good! Try the lasagna and the jumbo toasted ravioli! Can we talk about their bread sticks? Warm, soft and buttery! If you leave with sharing a dessert you'll kick yourself later! We had the salted caramel gooey dessert. read more

Italian isn't really my go-to when I'm going out to dinner. I like that Nixa has a nicer restaurant in their town and it makes for a better night out if you're wanting more than fast food or fast casual. The wine on tap is good and pretty reasonable. It's hard to mess up Italian and they do a good job. I'm not really a pasta girl or Italian food in general, but it seems pretty clean. read more

Such a great spot in Nixa. We have gone several times now and always have a good experience. The spin dip skillet was great!

This is the real deal! Stumbled in here by accident and so glad we did! 5 of us and we all raved about the food! Marinara and meatballs are spot on. Pizza - some of the best I've ever had! I SO wish I lived closer! Hope this place catches on and people try it - worth the drive! read more

Piccolo's inviting atmosphere, incredible food, and excellent service made us forget that we were in Nixa, Mo! Our server, Nick, was so accommodating and made us feel like friends on our first visit. Order the Italian nachos, you won't be disappointed... unless you're super hungry, then get two orders. read more

Everything we have tried has been awesome - very tasty! We love the "Tom and Cheese" when it is cold outside. My favorite is probably the "Ethan Marco". Service is outstanding and the atmosphere is great. We eat here at least once a week! read more

OMG finally a new place with a little creativity and culture for your taste buds in Springfield/Nixa MO! In a few months, they will be doing brunch on Sundays too, folks! The glory of brunch is finally sweeping small town America! This will forever be our go to place when in town visiting friends and family. We've always been a huge fan of the D'Arpino's restaurant on Battlefield and National and Piccolo (owned by their son Steve and his wife) does not disappoint. The D'Arpino family knows their Italian and they know their cheese. I can't say enough great things about this place. After being in the restaurant industry for over 10 years, I can be a bit critical. Food: We had the spinach dip and balboa balls for appetizers. I'm still dreaming of both dishes as the spinach dip had the perfect spinach to cheese ratio and seasoning. The meatballs had a little bit of GOAT CHEESE on the top along with mozzarella in the middle. I literally wanted to buy 20 and take them home. I had the veal cannelloni and it was superb. Another at the table had ravioli and it was a huge hit. Another at the table had the ribeye, which you don't think about ordering at an Italian restaurant, but apparently they know their meat too! We were too full for dessert, but I can't wait to try their cannoli next time. Drinks: We had wine, but I can't wait to try some of their fun cocktails. Their wine list is fantastic and at such a great price. Service: Excellent. Our server did a great job suggesting a local beer and wine pairing for what we were ordering. She was friendly, attentive, and on top of our dining needs. The owner was walking around making sure everyone was enjoying their meal which is always nice to see. Ambiance: I appreciated the smaller size of the restaurant. Makes dining with a significant other or family more relaxed and you're able to truly enjoy your dining experience. Plus they have great, fun decor/art work to check out as well. Also can't wait to come back and enjoy patio seating when the weather is warmer. Just. Go. read more

Best place I've found in Nixa. Now if can just get my kid to behave when I go there I'll be in good shape. I eat a limited diet so I've only sampled a small portion of the menu but it has never failed to please me. Everyone is very friendly. read more

Great food and service but totally pissed at this restaurant now because they used to have a ton of vegan items and now they don't. Randomly added egg to the batter for fried eggplant!?!? Not even necessary i just don't understand why they would do that when they have a large vegan customer base. read more

Didn't think Springfield/ Nixa had any good restaurants, and boy was I wrong. This place is awesome, trust me and stop by.

Great meals, great portions, great atmosphere! My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed the main entrees' with accompanying bread sticks. Katy, our server helped to make our first visit a delicious experience. Piccolo's is now our "Go to" Italian place in the entire Springfield area. read more

Great food, great service. Nice atmosphere. My husband's steak was over cooked. The server took it back immediately and the owner himself brought a perfectly cooked steak with a sincere apology. This type of thing happens. I was completely impressed at how the problem was handled. No excuses, just made it right! Reasonably priced. I certainly would recommend this place. read more

New place in town. Staff was great! Lasagna was awesome! Hope they are successful here in Nixa.
