Let's Just say the Hostess is not welcoming. What put the nail in the coffin. The food was over price and the food was mediocre in a bad way. read more

Finally made it back to Hudson valley. Stayed in Windham this time, but still made it top priority to make the quick drive to Piccolo Trattoria. Service was friendly and the food was amazing. The "new" (to us) building was spacious and clean. Perhaps because it wasn't too busy on a Thursday evening, it wasn't overly crowded (three tables were taken when we got there at around 8pm), but you could definitely hear the conversations from tables that were close by. Complimentary rolls were delicious. We got the Calamari Fritta to start and no complaints. Nice, crisp, light breading with a pleasant marinara dipping sauce. My GF got the Gnocchi in a fra diavolo sauce, which she loved (and said would order again) and I got the shrimp scampi with linguine; it came with 7 or 8 decently-sized shrimp that was combined with the silky smooth, lemony, buttery, garlicky scampi sauce. Absolutely would order again. Piccolo Trattoria will always be on my list of go-to places whenever we are in the area. read more

Food was very good, I got the Chicken Romano (with eggplant parm on top). The size was very big, leftovers! Place was very busy, had to wait a while for our drinks, nice looking interior, but loud when full. Good time, prices reasonable read more

We got takeout because of the high reviews- we were so happy a small town restaurant could be so good. The rice ball appetizer: We have gotten them in Sicily and my MIL and other family members made them- we still get them in Bensonhurst Brooklyn, these were such a strange weird consistency- mushy, almost like mashed potatoes, I think it may have been a tiny bit of rice, mushy breadcrumbs it looked like and a very tiny bit of meat mushed in it. Lasagna- (this was the real reason for our visit- the best is at Canalis in Rotterdam but we hoped for as good and closer)- TOTALLY overcooked mushy pasta (you undercook the noodles Al dente because it's baked and continues cooking after it's made), couldn't taste any of the supposed meat inside, just an overwhelming amount of cheese. All that said- "the bread was good". Staff were friendly and it's a very cute place, but unfortunately we won't be returning. read more

My husband and I ate here on a Sunday night for our anniversary dinner and had a great experience! First, everyone who worked here was incredibly kind and delivered great service from arrival through the entire meal. The bread is amazing and it was warm and so we knew things were looking good! We ordered the calamari for an appetizer, it is a huge portion, easily shareable amongst a group of people but we got through most of it. It tasted very fresh and the breading was nice and light! For my main course I had the short rib ravioli with the bolognese sauce, which is not something I've ever seen on a menu so I was intrigued. Apparently it had been a special for them at one point but it was so popular they added it to the menu. It was excellent and I'm glad I ordered it! Unfortunately, for dessert they were out of a couple items but we ordered the crème brûlée, which was good and tasted like every crème brûlée, which is so to say didn't stand out but was still very good! We would definitely recommend, it's also a huge space and nicely decorated so it could be a great option for larger groups! read more

We were staying at the getaway cabins and unfortunately it rained so we couldn't have a fire and cook outside. We found this amazing Italian restaurant about six minutes down the road. We loved everything from our burrata appetizer, to our pasta entrées, and the delicious ice cream dessert. The portions were very large and the service was wonderful. So happy that we were able to get a great meal in on such a gloomy day. Highly recommend and don't skip out on the dessert! read more

Pretty solid Italian food for upstate NY. Staff are very friendly and attentive. The pasta and tomato sauce maybe get a 3.5 but overall some really good dishes. A nice night out if your feeling a little fancy read more

We go there monthly and have since the early days of serving from a renovated garage!! The food is fantastic. The service is exceptional. It's a simple place with emphasis on the simple. I love the mussels and the marinara sauce is delicious. The new location is spacious with a large bar, good size dinning room and outside patio. You will love your experience and make it a regular dinner spot. Mangia mangia!! read more

Piccolo Trattoria - Mussels Fra Diavolo appetizer - Italian Near Me - Leeds, New York

So glad this restaurant wound up in our little town of Leeds , NY. The food is amazing. The service was also outstanding. I made an error on the bill and they kindly help fix the problem. I highly recommend Piccolo Trattoria!!!! read more

Carolee the Manager/Hostess is the best! Food is good too!! New location is better too. read more

Great restaurant and food, excellent service. The only thing surprising amongst all the offerings is the size of most tables sitting 2/4 , the size of the tables can barely accommodate a lamp, bread basket, water jug, 4 water glasses, 4 wine glasses and of course salad plates and main course ones. The space of the restaurant is quite spacious and nicely appointed maybe we were the only guests needing more table real estate ! just a comment, we will return to enjoy such delicious meals. read more

First, the atmosphere upon entering is spacious, bright, clean and comfortable. Our waitress Heather was so friendly, pleasant, kind and accommodating. The food was sooo good. The lobster bisque was excellent. The Caesar salad was the best ever, our main courses were done to perfection. The pasta was the exact consistency we like it. And my mocktail was the best I ever had. Definitely will be returning to try other goodies. Highly recommend read more

I wanted a home cooked meal without cooking it... But my cooking skills... Yea, on point... So hard to find something that compares at times like that.. Surprise, surprise... EXACTLY... And yet more than I could ask for... I don't even remember giving them my Frances recipe.. Amazing... Perfect. Thank you read more

What a comfortable and charming spot. Our server, Heather, could not have been kinder or more attentive. We plan to frequent the place now we've found it. Tasty food, mellow vibe. Just a great local restaurant. read more

It's fine - the menu isn't overly special, but the portions are ENORMOUS. Pasta comes with or is the base of everything. Celiac-sufferers are gonna have a tough time here. The food was fine, good but again, nothing amazing. The service was slow, but the waitstaff was great. We sat in the bar area, and it was nice. The layout of the main dining area makes me think it would be echo-y, but I haven't sat there myself to report back. The real star, for me, was the cake - which was from Catskill Mountain Bakery! I'll definitely be doing a review of them after I go try more of their wares, but that giant slice of cake made the whole visit worth it. read more

We have been going to Piccolo since they started in a garage. I was concerned when they moved to a larger place but we were not disappointed. Our only disappointment was when they moved again and we didn't realize it. We went for our reservation and found the place closed. It didn't take us long to figure out where they were. The new place feels so comfortable. The bar is a good size and often filled with patrons. The food never changed. It is fantastic. Simple flavors that make your mouth want more. We love this place and recommend you give it a try. I have had plenty of appetizers, main courses and lots of specials, all we delicious. If I have to pick one, it would be the first thing I ever had there...the mussels!! Absolutely fabulous. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed. Keep up the great food and the great service. We love it all!!! read more

The food was really good and you could tell it was homemade. Bread service consisted of yummy doughy rolls with a side of ricotta and roasted peppers. Such a nice change from butter and I see a few restaurants doing this. Hubby ordered lasagna that filled the entire plate . He says it was great . Sauce a little more on the sweeter side . I chose chicken francese . The chicken tasted so good . The sauce was yummy but it was heavy on the chicken stock . Each entree came with a pretty good sized salad . I ordered tiramisu to go because we both had to take half the dinners home . I love that . Service was fantastic . read more

Cute little place in Catskill. Nice ambiance but could use a little more "ambiance" and decor. Some parts of the building definitely feel like a home turned restaurant, not ideal. Anyway, place was busy but the service was still good and the waitress was lovely. I know how hard it is to find good help nowadays so I can empathize with them running around on a Friday night. Food came out warm and as ordered. Steak was great but definitely a small portion. Still it was tasty. Penne vodka sauce was creamy and not too greasy. Chicken was added but it was sliced way too thin for my liking and was a bit dry, probably because of how thin it was. All meals came with fresh rolls and Gorgonzola butter which was okay but not quite "salty" enough for a warm roll. Had a margarita with orange liqueur and that was delicious. We will definitely go back and give it another try. read more

Food excellent, service very good, ambiance not so much, cold, could use some decorations. But the worst are the tables for 2, not enough space, ridiculously small !!! read more

Loved everything! Lovely restaurant, decor is beautiful, food was delicious, service was amazing. We were a group of ten friends, we made reservations and our table was set and waiting for us. A hidden gem in the Catskills. Will definitely return. read more

I've been supporting this business since they were in a tiny space on Water Street. The food has always been solid but they need to learn how to treat customers. The older blonde lady working the door is just completely rude and nasty. There is no reason a paying customer should have to be subject to condescending comments, getting written off or belittled. I don't care how busy or understaffed you are, it's not acceptable. They are not the only game in town. There's no shortage of exceptional Italian restaurants in Greene, Columbia & Ulster counties. I don't think I'm going to be returning. Especially when every other establishment is happy and appreciative to have my business. read more

Anywhere else in New York the food would be a 3. But, for this area, it's definitely a 4.5. Service is good, and the staff is very nice. The ambiance is non existent, we chose to be seated in the bar, rather than the dining room, which had lighting like a beer hall. I had gnocchi and a meatball. The plate was plentiful, the sauce was flat and overcooked , the gnocchi was not hand made and the meatball had no seasoning. A New York Italian would die. Other than that, everything is relative, this was one of the better meals we had in the area, which is kinda a foodie wasteland. read more

Hosted a baby shower at their new location in Leeds. Couldn't have been happier. The private room in the back was perfect for the size of our party. Food was delicious and everyone was very attentive and helpful. Would definitely recommend for dinner or a private party! read more

Standard red sauce Italian joint that is not twice as good as LaBella's in Valatie -- since it's twice the price at $49 per. Or as good as CaMea in Hudson. Clam appetizer with soggy breading atop clams an embarrassingly badly executed dish -- needed an oven heat/salamander zap. Blue cheese dressing on salad standard commercial fare. Veal saltimboca huge portion and same with chicken masala both swimming in sauce. Spaghetti and marinara: standard, no better. read more

Always delicious and fresh. The staff are so nice and efficient. I stick with the penne alla vodka and it's the most delicious that I've had anywhere since I moved upstate :) read more

Table of 4 had dinner last night, from specials, to apps, to dessert, everything was really, really quite good! Three of us had the chicken sorrentino which was the daily special and another had the veal dish. All were delicious! Our waitress was attentive, always checking to make sure we had what we needed. I highly recommend! We'll be back! read more

This restaurant is a wonderful addition to the area. The food is delicious, I highly recommend the Sunday Supper. The service is excellent and the team is working diligently to ensure you have a very enjoyable experience. The design of the space a modern rustic Italian. Like a fine wine, this place will only improve over time. read more

Italian food at its best, fresh ingredient, Service is good. Can't wait to get back there. I hear they are expanding.

I don't normally write unpleasant reviews, but I felt really misled by the rest of the reviews I read here. I went a few weeks ago with family visiting from out of town and it was not a pleasant experience. I genuinely don't understand the high marks. While the service was thoughtful and excellent, everything else left a lot to be desired. First, when you walk in, there is an overpowering gas smell from the gas fireplace. Second, I could see into the kitchen, which looked like it needed some TLC. There is a back door visible to certain parts of the dining room that is covered in black soot and shoe/hand marks. It made me a little concerned about the rest of the kitchen. As for the food, I am an Italian American from the South Jersey area. I love Italian places with gaudy decor and huge portions. However, the food here just isn't very good. The bread was warmed for us, but tasted like one of those pre-made, par-baked rolls (think Pillsbury). The caesar salad at Piccolo is no doubt made with bottled dressing. The pasta sauces (from the red sauce to the vodka sauce) seem to be made from a jar. The vodka sauce tasted like boxed mac and cheese. One of our chicken dishes also seemed like it had some kind of pre-made sauce and the chicken tasted reheated. Everything tasted pre-made or heated up. I really wanted to like Piccolo, but for the reasons above I won't be returning. read more

I can't say enough good things about Piccolo Italian Restaurant! Denise is the absolute best! She is the server EXTRAORDINAIRE! Denise is attentive without being intrusive and friendly enough that you feel like she is an old friend! The food is nothing short of amazing! This was our 3rd time dining at Piccolo and it is consistently the best experience we have ever had. The portions are humongous and the attention to detail is unparalleled! The seafood is so fresh! If it was any fresher you would have to be swimming! And the homemade pasta is divine! When we want to go out for a perfect date night. This our once a month go to place!! Make a reservation because there are only 6 tables inside and 2 outside! read more

Piccolo Trattoria - Beautiful day in Catskill !! - Italian Near Me - Leeds, New York

I brought my Mother and family here this evening to celebrate her upcoming birthday while I'm in town. I've got to say that this is undoubtedly one of the most tender pieces of chicken I've ever eaten. I had the Chicken Francese and I'm certain it's the best I've ever had. Simply wonderful. My Father had the chicken piccata and was similarly impressed. I'd very highly recommend this restaurant and am looking forward to visiting again when I'm back in town. Unfortunately I forgot to take a pic until we were well into the meal. read more

Amazing food and staff. The rolls are incredible. A must try. Up in the area camping happy we found this place

The atmosphere is nice. We loved our waitress just home from school. There were a few drunk loud and raspy women at the bar that started early but thankfully they left. Not sure if they are regulars or if it was a one time thing. Food was good. All but the "veggie tower" which should have been called a pile of mozzarella. Baked clams were good. Cannoli yummy read more

We have been going to piccolo since they were on water St. It was great. Followed them to Catskill and tonight to their new place in Leeds. Service very good. Food well i had veal franchisee and i should have returned it. Very disappointed. My husband had veal parmigiana it was very good so why was one veal good and one not. The Caesar salad very good. And sautéed spinach good. You need to do something about the acoustics they are horrible. I want to talk to the people i am with not listen to others conversations and have to yell to be heard. The chairs were patio furniture for ouside not for inside. For all the work you did to make the place look really nice so get nicer and more comfortable chairs. And what happened to all the great round tables. You guys can do better. The chocolate was good. read more

Although the wait staff was friendly enough the food was watery and a bit disappointing. We ended up outside at a broken plastic picnic table, shoved next to a street with vehicles blowing by and black garbage flies from the river enjoying our food more than we did . Hopefully they decide on some sort of tiki torches to make the dining experience better for the customer and not the local insects On a positive note - the flavors of the chicken francaise were on point - but the pasta was not made in house which turns me away from restaurants especially Italian eateries , I could have made our meals at home cheaper , better quality ingredients, and not had to of fought flies and traffic We won't be returning read more

Food was unreal!!! Delicious!! Service was great. Restaurant is really nice. Can't wait to go back.

Excellent food! We had to wait a bit for our food because of several large parties but the staff is very professional. Our waitress Denise came over several times to keep us updated on our food as did the manager. Sometimes things don't go perfectly but the staff handled it well. We will definitely return! read more
