    If you’re craving authentic Italian cuisine, this restaurant is an absolute gem. The dishes are bursting with flavor, prepared with fresh ingredients that truly capture the essence of Sicily. The lasagna and green tagliatelle is perfection! The service is equally impressive—attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, making you feel like a cherished guest. It’s clear they take immense pride in their food and hospitality. Highly recommend!

    Sure! Here’s a concise and favorable review: I recently dined at Piccola Cucina in NYC, and it was an absolutely delightful experience. From the moment we arrived, the warm and welcoming hostess set the tone for an evening of impeccable service and exceptional food. We started with the Greek salad, which was fresh, vibrant, and perfectly balanced in flavors. The highlight of the meal, however, was the branzino. Cooked to perfection, the fish was light, flaky, and bursting with flavor, showcasing the culinary expertise of the kitchen. The attention to detail in both the preparation of the food and the service truly stood out. Our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and ensured that our dining experience was flawless. Piccola Cucina not only delivers on quality but also creates an inviting atmosphere that makes you feel at home. I can’t recommend this gem enough and can’t wait to return for another unforgettable meal!

    If we’d only eaten here it would be 5’s scoring all round but it falls slightly short in comparison to other restaurants. The gnocchi is amazing get it if it’s on the menu! For quite a small restaurant it lacked that personal touch. That said, they were very busy. If you’re in Central Park definitely book in.
