   Having dined in several other Piccolinos over a number of years we found our experience here very disappointing . The room looks great , the food was good but the service completely lets it down . The staff were indifferent and seemed not to want to be there . A young waiter was outright rude to us . When I raised this with a gentleman on the desk when leaving he clearly wasn’t interested . Embarrassing as I’ve recommended it to friends already based on our experience with Piccolinos in Cheshire

   Gorgeous decor, staff extremely efficient and friendly. Only 4 stars because the Spaghetti Ragu (bolognaise) was the smallest portion I’ve ever seen!! So that was over priced sadly. Rest was lovely.

   Fantastic evening at Piccolino. Lovely food and beautiful restaurant. Staff were excellent and quickly helped resolve a small problem with my daughter's meal. 1 star removed from value as I felt the desserts were overpriced for what came. Overall highly recommended and I will be back.

   This is like the Ivy but Italian style - Very good decor, service and food quality. Staff went out of their way to make our visit very enjoyable.

   What a lovely restaurant, the staff were friendly and attentive, food was fabulous, and the atmosphere great. Certainly compares to the Ivy but with a far more sophisticated interior. We will be back, the best Italian meal we have had for years.

   Our food was absolutely breathtaking. The olives fell off their stones, the best I have ever had. My chocolate fondant could’ve been hotter but it was incredible and I booked our valentines meal then and there. Fantastic service from every single interaction. Such lovely staff. Unfortunately we had a loud, quite rude couple sat next to us and they were drunk. Their behaviour wasn’t up to the restaurants high standard. However, I remarked to my partner that it did not impact how lovely Lilly was or the food. The decor is amazing and I can’t wait to return!

    Visited with my wife to celebrate my retirement, food was excellent, atmosphere was buzzing, waiting staff were totally on the ball even though they had 200 covers booked.
