It is a great place to eat Italian.Delicious freshly prepared food .Some really tasty desserts.I can recommend the Bakewell Bellini cocktail.

My partner took me to this restaurant last Saturday evening for the first time. He is a regular. The review is only on what I ordered as he enjoyed his soup, veal and profiteroles.I ordered the milkshake gelato pistachio flavour. I was expecting something creamy or a mix of ice cream and milk with some pistachio but I ended up with a flavoured milk topped with whipped cream. So first disappointment.I had the light dusted calamari which was nice despite the 2 sachets of tartar sauce ( a first for me).I had the lamb cutlets with the linguini and asked to be cooked medium rare. Unfortunately the lamb was well done so I had to send it back. The second time around, the lamb was cooked to my liking but the portion of linguini had shrunken (like for a child meal). But it was nice and tasty.For desert, as I love anything with pistachio, I went for the pistachio soufflé and was really excited about it. Well, I was disappointed, although it was nice , it was clearly not a soufflé. It was the pistachio version of a fondant au chocolat with un cœur coulant inside, unlike a soufflé which is fluffy, light ....but like I said it was tasty.We were sat not far from a party and they were extremely loud that we couldn't hear ourselves. It got better once they left.The staff was friendly and polite.Overall, not a great experience for a first time but will try again.

Good food, carefully served by friendly & attentive staff. No long waits either for the table (not booked on Thursday night in February) or the food. Would go again happily if we find ourselves in the area in the future.

Very disappointed with the service on Christmas Eve. We were there early and only two other tables were occupied, so there was no excuse for the poor service received. No smile offered by the serving staff, just purely transactional and the food was thrown down on the table. No thank you or acknowledgement as we left the restaurant, the 3 serving staff just stood bar the bar chatting. It is a real shame as the food is excellent. I don’t feel compelled to rush back.

Brilliant restaurant, serving great food and good prices. Was a very busy evening so we were lucky to get a table, but wait times were perfectly reasonable. As the venue is fairly small, and across multiple small rooms, is did get pretty hot in there and was hard to hear others in our group.This also contributed to our server mishearing our order and so bought the wrong wine out, but was quick to rectify and also one person in our group wasn't offered the options as listed for their main. What she received wasn't how she would've ordered it had she been offered the option, but was happy to eat it as is and so didn't send back.No complaints at all on the quality of the food served, we all demolished the lot. The mushroom risotto and the meatballs were big hits and would recommend.If we're back in the area, we will certainly be coming back for more!

Absolutely love this restaurant but we went on Christmas Eve and the two girls waitressing never once smiled . No Happy Christmas from them , no little smile and chat ...no thank you goodbye or anything . It wasn't busy when we went earlier in the day , food was lovely though. Maybe just tell them to crack a smile occasionally and acknowledge the customer instead of just plonking dishes down and walking away.

The decor is generally dated it feels like going back to the 80’s. The tables and chairs are a modern industrial style which are nice but mismatch with everything else. The food: we had olives and bread. The loves were amazing some of them were so big it was like eating a stone fruit! The bread was ok but a little bit more butter would have been nice. For starters we had fried calamari and carpaccio of fish. The Calamari were average and what made it worse was that the tartar sauce consisted of two (takeaway style) packets of sauce shoved in a bowl. Whilst I don’t expect this type of restaurant to be making their own tartar sauce serving it in a little bowl rather than takeaway packets would be nice. The swordfish carpaccio was to die for; fresh, clean simple but tasty. Clumsy presentation of pea shoots all over but the taste and portion makes that forgivable. Mains: Risotto Frutti di mare and fish skewers. I had the risotto and that’s where the meal stopped being enjoyable for me. The portion of seafood in the risotto was good but the risotto in itself was a bit of a disaster. Instead of creamy it was soggy, overcooked and just tasted of cheap stock and parsley. These last two were so overpowering you couldn’t taste the seafood for it. My partner had the fish skewers which were big beautifully cooked and tasty. The bed of risotto they were laying on … see above. Dessert: we had a cheesecake and a Rum Baba. The cheesecake accompanied by sorbet was delicious the Rum baba was nice but served with squirty cream. Service was good. I’ve give it 3 stars purely because I want to give the bad bits the benefit of the doubt because it’s 2 days away from Xmas and it was heaving with punters coming down from the the light trail/ ice rink. Still not an excuse as a good restaurant should be good at any time! The meal cost £105 we didn’t drink any alcohol so as much as I’d like to give them the benefit of the doubt at that price I’m not sure I’d want to give it another go! Sorry Piccolino’s!
Just looking for something quick to eat on a Sunday, walked in and greeted. Sat down and had drinks very quickly, lovely server food was rapid and tasted amazing, top it off £40 for 2 people main and drinks. Well done ?

As a fairly local this has always been a place you know you are going to get great food & this visit did not disappoint,the food was beautiful.The risotto I had was excellent BUT the service meant that where we perhaps would have stayed for dessert we did not feel welcome.We had booked a table but when we walked in we weren't asked our name though I said, just told sit anywhere.We found a table got settled & then realised it had reserved on it,we were then told you can't sit there,fair enough we moved even though the table remained empty the whole time.We ordered our drinks,my daughter ordered a chocolate milkshake which looked amazing,she asked if she could had a spoon,never arrived or acknowledged.We were never asked if our meal was ok.My daughter's cutlery came unwrapped,a tea light was banged down on our table at one point.I asked for the bill as we felt unwelcome after our meal had finished.To be told I had to push yes or no if I wanted to leave a tip.I was stared at the whole time,very uncomfortable.I could count on one hand the words we were spoken to Food wonderful,service abysmal,we all have bad days where we perhaps don't feel happy chatty but in a service industry there is a bare minimum politeness you need. We unfortunately will not visit again as although the food is outstanding we really don't want to pay to be made to feel an intrustion

Food is good, some positions better than others. Service was really poor, we had to wait for everything for ages including cutlery! They also forgot about kids meal which was far from ideal with a hungry toddler.

Called in here on a Sunday night having just arrived for a few days in Warwick. All the pubs had stopped serving when we stumbled across this place. The staff were accommodating and the food was delicious with very generous portions. Not the cheapest but considering it is a little independent restaurant I think they were pretty fair. Highly recommended.
