Piccola Cucina Osteria it's our gem in the heart of SoHo. The Chef and owner Philip Guardione opened in January 2013 to bring in the city the real taste of Sicily.
Friendly service with a buzzy atmosphere, all in a typical Italian restaurant setting. It is matched by home cooking like you would expect to eat in Italy, which is one of the keys to the success of the restaurant. Fully renovated in 2021 the location looks warm and cozy.

Our other two Piccola Cucina locations in Manhattan are:
Piccola Cucina Estiatorio ( 75 Thompson street )
Piccola Cucina Uptown ( 106 E 60th Street )

Piccola Cucina Osteria accepts online requests for parties smaller than 6 guests only.
If you are looking for a bigger party or special event, please contact us info@piccolacucinagroup.com
Thank you

    This dinner was disappointing. It started off well with the fried zucchini flowers and caesar salad, but went downhill from there. I ordered the tagliatelle and my friend the gnocchi. We both ate a few bites and were underwhelmed and did not finish the dishes. We had the pistachio panna cotta for dessert. I love pistachio but the flavor was too intense and it was also too sweet. The texture was off. We did not take more than one bite each. The tables are very close to one other and the restaurant is quite warm. Feels like you are actually in the kitchen. I guess that aligned with the name. The service was friendly and attentive.

    Excellent food, the best authentic Italian and Sicilian food in the city. Interesting menu. Well portioned dishes. Very attentive and accommodating staff. Lunch pricing applicable to the entire menu is a fantastic deal.

    I will always reccomend Piccola in every lifetime and every opportunity when the occasion arises. I particularly love this location for the feel. Yes, the restaurant is undoubtedly small and tiny, but because of this with the combination of excellent and warm service, it feels like you’re at a friends apartment who’s an excellent host having dinner. It is an unbeatable, unique experience. My partner and I came in September of 2024 during a trip to NYC and called it the meal of our year. We went yesterday for Valentine’s Day and it was show-stopping yet again. The pasta was so incredibly fresh and flavorful. The care, love, and time it takes to make the noodles to curating the dish was tasted, loved, and appreciated. We had two specials: the Lobster Linguine and the Apple Tart (unsure if it was a tart—it was demolished too quickly to really tell.) The Linguine was otherworldly, perfectly sauced and had a decent amount of lobster. Wild Ragú is a must, it’s why we come after all. And of course, table side made Tiramisu to finish because we would be dumb not to (and so shall you). I can’t wait come back to New York to come back to Piccola. I’d fly spirit just to come back.

    This restaurant needs to be on everyone’s radar when you visit NYC. You will Not be disappointed. I visit NYC quite often, and this is by far the best Italian food I have ever had in New York. Authentic Sicilian, and not overpriced !!! Make a reservation because restaurant is small, yet cozy and enjoyable! Great Prosecco and wine list.
