I definitely need to go back and get it again!! Such a cute place for dinner with friends/roommates and I'll definitely be coming back!

Our serve Taylor was AMAZING! She was very attentive, polite, and personable. We loved her! Moving on to the food. We ordered the "Daily Bread" as a starter and let me tell you...best table bread I've ever had ever. We also got the ricotta honey spread and it was delicious!! For our entrees we all got pasta. Chicken fettuccine, cacio e pepe, and cream tomato vodka. All meals were 10/10 good. Everything was so amazing and fresh. We were here celebrating a friends birthday and Taylor surprised her with a delicious slice of cake. I believe it was a lemon blueberry vanilla cake. It was soooo good. Overall, I highly enjoyed my experience and would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for some good Italian. Especially the pasta.

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!

We've been coming here for a long time under william's ownership and we always loved his style of…read morecooking. Today we learned that he is taking a break. 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. Also, the pastas we ordered (under specials menu--did not have a price, but each pasta was $50 each which I think its very high for pasta we had)

Stopped in tonight by myself, after not having been there for several months. Decided to dine-in and enjoy the food fresh and hot. I was quickly reminded why I don't come more often: $32 for one person. That didn't even include tip. That was a simple order of the Vodka pasta (NO meat), a side of bread, and a can of Coke. THIRTY. TWO. DOLLARS. I honestly wouldn't mind it so much if I could at least get two meals out of it. I frequent Olivia (downtown) every 1-2 weeks, and am able to get two full meals out of an order of pasta and garlic bread. And that's a fancy restaurant. While this place is cute and has good service, it's essentially fast-food pasta. Having said that.... The restaurant itself is very clean and bright. You order at the front, are given a buzzer, and go find a table. They have both indoor and outdoor seating options. Indoor is fairly small, but they make it work! It's not meant to sit and talk for hours. Once your food is ready they deliver it to your table, along with a glass bottle of tap water for the table. It can get kind of noisy depending on business. I've always had great service - they're always on top of things and walking around in case you need something. Since I was dining alone tonight I opted to sit at the counter, which I love the concept of!! The food itself is delicious. The vodka pasta is really good (spicy)! Their daily bread is fabulous, nice and thick and soft - perfectly dippable, which is great since it comes with EVOO with herbs. A couple times when ordering carryout the pasta seemed a bit dry, so I made sure to ask for extra sauce. It was perfect that way! The pasta itself you can tell is fresh; perfect amount of chewiness and texture. Next time I'll probably try the vodka pasta with the breaded chicken - watching them cook, it looks delicious!! I was told it's probably the most frequently ordered item on the menu. All in all, I highly recommend giving them a try. Just be prepared to pay a high price. I'm going with an overall 3-stars based on price for the portion size. If that changes in the future I'll happily edit my review. One final note: parking can be a bitch here, and at least one of the neighboring lots has tow-warnings so heads up!

Kids and grown ups agreed this place was 5 stars all the way. The chicken fingers were delicious as were the mozzarella sticks. The breading was light and they were not greasy in any way. The wings were fantastic, and although I like mine a bit crispier they still were some of the best wings I've had. We are from buffalo New York and finding good wings and pizza have proven to be quite the challenge in Tampa. Something about the Florida water ruins pizza crust. I don't know how they do it but the crust on the calzone and pizza roll were giving more NYC than Tampa in the best of ways. While pizza roll means something different in buffalo (think pizza eggroll) we still were pleased with how good it was despite it not being what we expected. Overall we will 1000% order again. With restaurant prices soaring, somehow their prices are super reasonable and their food-outstanding!
