Wine Bars in Corbridge

“Tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Corbridge's busier tourist centric main streets, Il Picollo is a local favourite for its authentic Italian dishes and friendly owners and staff.

Visiting for the first time with someone who hasn't been to Il Picollo before, we asked the chef to surprise us with the starter and main of their choice.

And what a good idea that was! The chef's recomended starter was Octopus in a light yet flavoursome tomato sauce. Full of delicate flavours and cooked to perfection this was a perfect introduction to the authentic cuisine the restaurant is rightly famous for. The main was a fillet steak in cream and Stilton which exploded with zesty flavours which comllimented but did not over power the perfectly prepared steak.

A wonderful experience and one we hope to repeat. Hightly recomended”
