    Linguine and scallops
    Tracy W.

    Always great food and service! Highly recommend this restaurant. Complementary dessert with every meal is nice as well.

    The Christmas Italian vibes were it too!

    Hidden gem! Amazing service!! fast, friendly, and welcoming. The food was incredible! We started with the calamari and it was to die for, especially the flavorful marinara sauce. We also had Doc's Favorite and the Scallop Linguine, and every bite was packed with flavor. Perfect spot for a girls' night, date night, or a last-minute dinner. We stumbled upon this place after the wait next door was crazy, and it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. We will definitely come back. This is a must-go!

    Amazing Steak Milanese! Super thin and cooked perfectly. The Chicken Parmesan was good. The garlic bread could have been more flavorful but the bread was incredibly fresh and light. They seem to be short staffed so the service is slow. It's an unassuming place but the food is impressive.

    Bruschetta
    Talia S.

    Everything was great. The owner is incredibly thoughtful and made the experience amazing. Food was delicious. The owner heard us talking about wanting bruschetta even though it wasn't on the menu and he stepped in and told us he can make it and it ended up being the best bruschetta ever. Ambiance was peaceful and calm. Overall our experience was so great. Will definitely be going back.

    Side Salad included with Entree

    Tried this restaurant for the first time for a small group dinner for a friend's birthday. One of the people in our party highly recommended Piccolo Stivale and it did not disappoint! This is a nice, quaint restaurant tucked away in a strip center close to shopping and the beach offering both inside and outside dining. The staff was very friendly, attentive and helpful. There were 4 of us in our party and everyone loved their meals and wine. The food was fresh and delicious and the prices were reasonable considering dining out and groceries have become more expensive. We will definately be back and I highly recommend dining here. Delivery is also available on Uber Eats and DoorDash.

    Chicken Parmesan ($20.50 | inc spaghetti marinara,  side salad & bread) Very good and big portion
    Joe P.

    I've been to Piccolo Stivale (little boot) several times, and for good reason. They serve very good Italian food, big portions and at reasonable prices. In addition, the setting is very casual in a strip mall on Mag near Garfield in HB. This time it was for take out bc mija was in town, and I still can't drive yet. I had the chicken parmesan w/ a side of spaghetti w/ marinara sauce. Entrees also come w/ a side salad. She had steak milanese w/ fettucine alfredo on the side (sorry, no pic). We shared a fried calamari app. The calamari was GBD even after the 10 min drive home. Additionally, the portion was large for the price. Likewise, the chicken was tender, and the breading was nicely seasoned. Both of our portions were so large we had leftovers. I had half my meal remaining, while mija had 2/3. I have never had bad service here, and I have always found it friendly & warm. The takeout was packaged nicely, and it was ready on time. PS is a great neighborhood place that is conveniently located by Home Depot or the bike shop that I frequent. Its no wonder I'm the Duke.

    Fettuccini Alfredo

    We give Piccolo Stivale 5 stars every time we go. Always good food. Always good service (we're especially keen on Georgina). Easy going atmosphere without pretense. Very casual, clean and friendly setting. We keep going back even though prices keep rising. Always worth the visit and the price. Terrific local neighborhood Italian spot.

    cannoli-cheesecake
    Sami S.

    Most delicious pasta ever! The waiters were so kind and helped us pick out our meals and the service was fast! It's super calm in there giving us a lovely date night and I would 100% recommend!

    Dine in

    My family and I absolutely LOVE piccolos! Its the only italian restaurant we ever dine out at or order from. We have ordered here from uber eats and called for pick up today. Even when we dined in it was spectacular. Delicious and authentic food always taste so fresh. We got the shrimp alfredo, garlic and cheesy garlic bread, vodka penne chicken parm, cheese lasagna, and cheese ravioli with sausage, and the cesar salad. Great portion sizes and they always give extra marinara. Our order was ready in 20minutes and we called as soon as they opened. The owner, Abraham, even threw in 2 cheesecakes and 2 tiramisu's for us. A chef helped me carry my bags to my car and service is always perfect. Amazing experience every time. Would love to see them expand! Also, i need to know what dressing comes on the house salad!?! Its so good!

    Italian restaurant with no flavor. Ordered lasagna and a salad. No flavor on anything. No garlic on the lasagna or garlic bread! Terrible.

    Would you be willing to make a special order? I really want to try authentic sfincione, would this be possible if I ordered a week ahead of time?

    Do they do caccio e pepe or spaghetti carbonara?

    My family and I were in the area and decided to stop in for some cocktails at Nardò Italian…read morerestaurant. They have some great cocktails and the atmosphere is beautiful too. The service was on point. We started off with a peach cocktail unfortunately I can't remember the name of the drink. I had the Prickly Pear cocktail and my hubby had a Lychee martini I believe. All of the drinks were phenomenal! We ordered some of the croquettes and a watermelon salad with goat cheese too. They were both so good! The drinks were what we were there for but we just had to try a few of their yummy dishes too! So if you're ever out, cruising the Pacific Coast Highway look For Nardò' and give them a try you won't be disappointed, I know we weren't. We will be back. Lol

They really know what they're doing here and their ingredients make their pizzas delicious! I would highly recommend the margherita pizza with added burrata. We also tried their salads and got a side of fries and few other sides but the show stopper here is the pizza so be sure to order a few for the table. Theres an underground garage with plenty of parking on site. Be sure to validate your parking ticket...first few hours are free with validation!

    Absolutely phenomenal!! I was in the LA area visiting friends and family and stopped by Mangia…read moreMangia for dinner on my last night. I came in very hungry and was greeted with so many good smells. Everything on the menu looked good and I couldn't narrow it down, so I asked my server, Elwin, if he had any favorites. He was excited to walk me through his favorites on the menu which helped my table decide what we wanted to get. We started with calamari which was easily the best calamari I've had. Perfectly cooked and seasoned. 4 of us shared the fetuccine gabriella, pappardelle veal ragu, scampi cefalu, and 2 stracciatella soups. Everything was delicious and we had a great variety of flavors to try from. I really appreciated Elwin's patience, excitement, and insight helping us select dishes and it made for a fun and memorable night. We topped it off with some gelato which was absolutely to die for. I can't wait to visit again next time I'm in the LA area.

    Dining with Diane and my son and daughter-in-law, we began with Carciofo Alla Griglia, Mozzarella…read moreMarinara, and complimentary Garlic Bread, which was replenished once upon request, and without charge. The bread was light and addictive, as usual. And breaded batons of Mozzarella Marinara were superb with a mild Marinara Sauce draped over them. Only the artichokes were wanting, with little vegetative meat on the leaves. For me a piping hot bowl of Stracciatella, with egg yolk and spinach circling on top, was next, followed by a pretty good House Salad with Creamy Italian Dressing. And Sausage & Peppers nicely covered by a saucy Red Sauce, featuring small tubular hunks of mild sausage and bell peppers cooked al dente, nicely filled out my memorable repast. Others in my party very much liked their Lobster Ravioli with Alfredo Sauce, Beef Ravioli with Penne Pasta, and Veal Piccata with Bowtie Pasta. Service by Rachel C. was excellent. And we liked our table placement in a corner of the restaurant, which promoted private conversation. For me, Mangia Mangia remains the premier Italian restaurant in Huntington Beach. As it advertises, it truly serves authentic Italian cuisine.
