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!

This was our first time here and we loved the food, drinks and staff. The staff was very nice and thank you to our waitress who suggested the grilled octopus. Her suggestion did not disappoint. We definitely plan on returning to try other items on the menu.

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.
