Everything was absolutely DIVINE!!! Their red sauce in particular, really stood out and was definitely some of the best I've ever had anywhere. Service was absolutely top tier and we were taken care of wonderfully! We still got served quickly even thought the restaurant was super slammed, as to be expected for a place with such amazing food. Piccolino had a nice small family owned feel to it and it was obvious the owners take great pride in their restaurant. They had an award wall up at the entrance showing that they consistently win 1st place year after year for having the best Italian food in Santa Fe.

My boyfriend and I went out to dinner with my work mom and her husband. It was wonderful! I like…read morethe ambiance in this location better than the others. It's in a historic area but the inside is chic, modern, and lively. Bold paint colors, unique bar and table sets, and they even have chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. The only caveat is that it is LOUD. Between the noise of eating, talking, and the music, it is difficult to hear each other. The service was excellent. I wish I could remember his name to give him a shout-out. He was knowledgeable about the menu and had great suggestions for drinks, appetizers and main dishes. He also, was friendly and funny, and took care of us without hovering but was somehow always there when we needed something. The food was excellent, with large portions, great flavors, clean ingredients and fresh new takes on a lot of dishes. I had the Sourdough Gnocchi with onions, brocolini, and added salmon. It was truly amazing! They had a blackberry shrub, which is non-alcoholic, that I was able to add alcohol to and it was delicious! We also had the calamari for an appetizer and it was beautifully done, perfectly cooked, with light breading, and excellent sauces to dip it in. If you haven't been, I would highly recomend you check it out!

The inside is warm and intimate, and when the weather's nice, the patios are absolutely perfect. The service? Always top-notch. The team knows their wine pairings, gives great menu recs, and somehow manages to be both friendly and professional every time. And the food... wow. It's the kind of meal that makes you close your eyes for a second after that first bite. I've tried pretty much everything on the menu at this point, and it's all been fantastic. The specials are always worth checking out too. they never miss. If you're looking to impress your date or just want a guaranteed great night out, this is the place. Can't miss.

I had made a reservation a few days prior and it was almost ready on arrival. They gave the choice to wait for a booth or grab a table right away so we took the table. I wish we had waited for the booth! The seating situation was a bit cramped, passerby's kept running into my chair so I changed seats- then they kept running into the table lol. Our server was nice, it was just so crowded and busy. The food was great- Christian loved the chicken parm- my lobster ravioli was lack luster, there were more bell peppers in it than anything. I got about 4 ravioli and 5 shrimp in the whole dish. I will def be back to try something else!

I hate to give them a bad review but they give me no choice. I paid $21.00 + tax and tip for the photo below. I challenge you to identify what it is! I sure can't. It appears to be an overly oily mess of broken sauce and pig slop. Maybe it tastes ok. I don't know, it looks so unappetizing I didn't taste it. To be fair. The other food we ordered was good. I have graduated from culinary school and worked in kitchens as a chef. I know how busy and stressful it can be. I've made my fair share of mistakes. However, under no circumstances would I have sent this out to a customer. I won't be going back to mtuccis. They lost a long time customer with this one. Would you eat this? FYI this is the mushroom and goat cheese ravioli.
