Piccolo Buco Roma - set mere steps from Rome's famed Trevi Fountain - is where Cooper's Hawk Founder, Tim McEnery, first discovered Chef Luca Issa and his wonderful pizza. The ingredients were deceptively simple: creamy, indulgent mozzarella mingled with a bright and bold tomato sauce. But it was the extraordinary, tall crust - crisp on the outside yet cloud-like at the center - that won his heart. He couldn't wait to introduce America to a pizza this special!

I’ve eaten at a lot of 5 star restaurants and this experience was as good or even better. The attention to detail was next level. Folding the napkin and putting it next to my plate when I went to the bathroom was mind blowing. Some Michelin Restaurants don’t even do that! The only miss was then men’s bathroom was out of hand paper towels. Other than that it was an incredible experience! I will be back and I definitely recommend! Well done!

David is such a friendly server and Rigo at the bar made our drinks perfectly. The filet mignon was cooked just right and the Brussels sprouts were divine.
