If you want, authentic Italian cuisine, this is a place for you! Truly home-cooked meal in Tampa. Homemade pasta is a must try with a variety of options. Hidden Gem!!!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at a small, privately rented restaurant named Piccola Italia Bistro, and I must say it offers the most exquisite Italian cuisine I’ve ever tasted. This hidden gem will transport you to the streets of Italy with its charming ambiance and authentic/non pretentious flavors.

Our second dinner here, and it was as amazing as the first time! Every dish is a combination of flavors that doesn’t taste “familiar “…like the food tastes everywhere else! Will lays it down, so make a reservation, drive the smallest car you have, take a bottle or two of wine and plan to spend a 1 1/2 – 2 hrs and have a fantastic meal.

The food is amazing! I’ve all over Italy, and this place is as good as the best restaurant I’ve found in Italy, and better than most. It’s a little hole-in-the-wall in an old strip mall, but Chef William is talented, and his food never disappoints.

My family and I made reservations. Yes the restaurant is small yet cozy. The chef introduced the specials and we selected two of them. Delicious, fresh and served hot. The only downfall was the server. He lacked knowledge of restaurant service procedure and personality skills. Unfortunately,I will not return for this reason.

We enjoyed the authentic Italian cuisine and the fact that we were able to bring in our own bottle of wine. Our only suggestion would be to serve great bread — (Jameson bread comes to mind) with butter for the table. The linguini and calamari was excellent, along with the pesto and smoked trout. We loved the caprese and artichoke appetizers.

Do you ever have food so good you want to tell everyone you know so they can understand the heaven you just experienced? That is what happened when I ate at Piccola. This restaurant is unassuming from the outside and super tiny inside, so you have to make a reservation. It’s BYOB so you can bring a bottle of wine and they will provide glasses and a corkscrew, no additional charge. There’s a set menu but also daily specials and the chef will go over the menu with you. I am vegetarian and the chef was so helpful in pointing out menu items I could eat. I had the artichoke appetizer, tortellini entree, and limoncello dessert. I also brought home tiramisu for my husband. Everything was unreal. I will dream about this food. And it really makes the experience that you can see the kitchen and the passion that the chef has in preparing and presenting the food. This is authentic Italian and is honestly the best I’ve ever had. I can’t wait to go back!

Easily the best Italian food in tampa. It’s bring your own wine but no corkage fee. The pistacchio ricotta cake is AMAZING. Cannot beat the price. Also, make a reservation.
