I'm in Tampa, Florida for a 4-day seminar and was looking for a casual brunch spot for lunch when…read morewe found this place. At first, I honestly thought it would be bigger. It's more of a small hole-in-the-wall type of café. The food was good, but what really stood out to me was the service and the people running the place. You can immediately tell this is a mom-and-pop business where the owners genuinely care. They were constantly checking on customers, making sure everyone was taken care of, updating people about the food, and doing their best to make everyone feel comfortable and accommodated. At one point, I stood up because I was about to follow up on our order, and one of the guys immediately looked at me and said, "I got you, bro." That small moment actually meant a lot because it made me feel seen as a customer. They weren't oblivious or ignoring people even though they were busy. You can tell they work hard and really try to give good customer service. Because of that alone, I'm giving this place 5 stars. Support small businesses like this.

Sure Hellas down the street has some razzle dazzle, and it's good, but that's not what a traditional Greek restaurant in Greece feels like. I heard the meats here were phenomenal so we went by to give it a shot. I had the pork souvlaki and also a chicken souvlaki wrapped in bacon. My daughter had a chicken souvlaki with pita. Let me start with my favorite, which was the pork souvlaki. It was all great but if I could do it again I'd have just gotten a bunch of those and called it a day! Possibly my favorite pork souvlaki I've ever had in the US. The bacon wrapped chicken came with a lemony sauce I've never had before and it was amazing as well! My daughter loved her chicken souvlaki with pita, and honestly the Pita was my favorite part of her meal (yes I tried it). Seemed so fresh and it was delicious. The server was also the owner and she had her grandchildren come visit while she was serving us. She brought them over to say hello and she spent a great deal of time talking to my daughter and I as well. Such a wonderful lady and really made us feel at home. In fact when I was inquiring about the pork gyros after we had already eaten, she just brought me some so I could taste it for free. Super thoughtful and kind. The bread they brought us out as a free appetizer was delicious as well and different than what I'm used to. Back to the ambiance though, the narrow sidewalk in front of the business with tables and chairs seem to be filled with old timers throughout the day, and once again not to beat a dead horse but THAT is the true home style Greek restaurant feeling. Will be going back to visit these great people again soon, and so should you!

I really wanted to like this restaurant. One of the few places that has fresh pork gyro like they…read moremake in Greece. The good first. Waiter was pleasant, on task, quick and friendly. Brought us menus, small plates, bread and olive oil to dip. We ordered the zucchini fritters to start, and the pork gyro platter to share. The gyro meat was excellent, tender, cooked to perfection. The platter included sliced onion, tsatsiki, sliced tomatoes as well as pita bread, and underneath it all were French fries. Now to the bad, and why only 3 stars. Our bread was good, lightly toasted but the olive oil served with it to dip?? Tasted like vegetable oil, not authentic olive oil at all. Or perhaps a blend? The zucchini fritters were over cooked, almost burnt, a bit greasy and I assume that's because they were deep fried. And though the flavor was passable, I could taste a hint of herbs, the inside was too doughy and pasty. I've had them in Greece so I know what they're supposed to taste like, and that's not it. The French fries were tasteless, and lukewarm unfortunately taking away from the delicious slivers of pork in the platter, although the serving was generous, I even had a couple that tasted old? The restaurant was dingy, stacked drinks on the flour, dirty walls, not good. And my husband said he hoped I didn't need to use the restroom as it was not pleasant. We probably won't be back unfortunately.

MAKE A RESERVATION....You will need it…read more Piccola is a very small place. A few tables. And you need the reservation to get in as people do go all the time. The chef is the owner and even takes the order. The assistant cleans, and serves and handles the rest. Like stepping into an Italian family kitchen to see what is on the table for the night. And with the special menu of the evening, it is like you are stepping into the kitchen. With a reservation for 6 we were lucky to have the table. It is a BYOB so bring what you might want to go with the meals. A red wine is a good idea. As for the specials, it was varied. There are many options to have that are not on the menu. Even that is small. The chef does tell you what was the specials. He answers the questions and does describe what he is thinking. For 6 of us this gave us good options. Several were ordered, and some traditional was selected. We started with appetizers. Tomatoes and mozzarella was always a way to start. Classic. Mixed with a green salad and some extra cheese it is a good way to go. Garlic bread was a complement. We also had the rice balls stuffed with a small meatball combo. This is typical in certain regions of Italy, and each are different. It had a special sauce to top it and more bread. The sauce was good enough as a dipping sauce for the bread without the rice ball. As we ate the apps we drank the wines. Truly typical for an Italian meal. When the entrees came out it was time to shift things around. These entrees were a good size and freshly cooked. You can see the chef in the kitchen cooking each meal. This is a home kitchen. We had a few specials. One was the duck on the couscous. With the frech sauce and herbs it was amazing. It is not how you expect to have duck. It was definitely not Chinese. This was a fresh duck cooked and aged so that the flavor was ideal. The portion was large and the aroma amazing. Also had to have a very traditional pasta carbonara - pasta mixed in a garlic cream sauce with onions and pieces of bacon. A bit of peper and grated cheese helps. It is an old simple idea what what is always made in a family. There was also pasta bolognese, and even a pasta with sliced rib steak in a mushroom cream sauce. Very different. Once the meal was finished had to have espresso and dessert. The espresso was made the old way in a pot I still have on a the shelf and use. As for the dessert, we did have a lemon cake and a cake made with pistachio that was ground and had flavor that was not expected as a cream in a cake. It was exceptional. As the waitress mentioned, these cakes come from a bakery in Italy and are delivered. The taste and sweetness are typical of Italy and not of the US. Very Italian. The food is great. It is fresh, tasty, has a flavor and style that is unique to the chef. He can make a great meal that you will enjoy. It is typical but with a twist. The portions are a good size. The price is perfect. Bring your own wine and step inside. It is like being in someone;s kitchen. And make that reservation!

A whole new menu but didn't include any of william's classics. No duck salad, no clam linguini or spicy seafood pasta or any other williams items on the menu. The pastas we ordered (seafood with sundried tomatoes and gnocci with lamb) werent bad but not even close to what we had before. Disappointing. Sadly I dont think we'll be back until william come back.
