Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Piccolo Arancio offers flavorful Italian cuisine with modern twists, making it a "come back" place. While some diners praise the "excellent" food and "romantic '60s vibe," others note service issues and changes under new ownership. The fettuccine with shrimp is often highlighted. Overall, it's a mixed dining experience.

Food was super overpriced. $12 salad could fit in the palm of your hand. Filet was overcooked and tough. Complimentary bread looked and tasted bland as if it was just thawed from a freezer. Waitress unfortunately messed up our order, which was a simple request to not have potatoes but veggies instead. When I told the manager the silverware couldn’t cut the filet, which could have been it was overcooked AND the knife being really dull, he said “no one has ever complained about our knives before.” The waitress ended up getting a knife about 6” in length and was so skinny, that it could have snapped if I applied any pressure while cutting it. Awful experience and would never go back.

Horrible experience! Ignored for multiple minutes between rare visits from wait staff. Eventually left before getting an opportunity to order anything, not a beverage or food. Waitress didn’t seem to understand the difference between ordering wine by the glass (on one menu) v ordering wine by the bottle ( no individual glass prices on the wine list). After she dropped off the list by glass she never came back to see if I was interested in any. NEVER going back again.

I was very disappointed. The food was very bad. The chicken was uncooked. My spinach ravioli in orange sauce was disgusting. The ravioli was spoiled. Never again will we eat here

We enjoy the Italian cuisine choices that are so flavorful, fresh and well prepared with modern twists to the ingredients. The specials menu is spot on for the seasons. A “come back” place!

Sad to report Piccolo’s is going the wrong direction. I will say the food was good but service was weak and no bread. It was very sparse for a Friday night. No one even a the bar!

No art on dining room walls just empty picture hangers everywhere, padded rundown leather chairs extremely squeaky, bread was just ok, fettuccine Alfredo heavy but pretty good as was my husband’s bolognese over gnocchi. Bar had few guests as did the main dining area. This place has potential but I’m worried it won’t survive without a makeover.
