I ordered from this place for dinner, and it was pretty underwhelming. I ordered two entrees, first wa the pappardelle which was soggy, The Ragu was sweet and the meat had minimal flavor.

Risotto with very hard rice, the pasta with lamb and the one with seafood was delicious. I did not feel well cared for, I had to get up from my seat to ask them to please give me napkins and cutlery. I didn’t like her attention. when I go out to eat , it’s because I don’t want to do anything but be served.

Nice to sit outside in Ridgewood and enjoy lunch. The chicken parm was solid. Always the gold standard order for me at italian american spots. It wasn’t spectacular but got the job done. The polenta appetizer was too runny for my liking. The fritto misto (calamari) was delicious. We also got the tartufo for dessert and enjoyed it. It was solid italian fare and we had a good time sitting outside. Will I run back? Probably not but its solid. 3.5 stars.

We went for dinner and everything was excellent! They are able to accommodate with gluten free diets. The only complaint was that the service was a little slow – but it was also 4th of July weekend. Every time I’ve been I’ve enjoyed my experience!! And the outdoor seating is covered and pretty cool even in 90 degree temperatures.

Went for lunch-sat outside such a lovely space! The waiter was wonderful-patient and very helpful. The mushroom polenta was really amazing & perfect for sharing. The penne ala vodka was just perfect. I will definitely recommend and most certainly go back. Everyone was attentive and kind. Thank you for a great afternoon!!!!

I wouldn’t go back here for free. Subpar and overpriced. Got the veal parm entree and I have never experienced a smaller portion of veal. It was maybe 3oz veal meat. There are probably 1000 better Italian spots in north jersey so it’s shocking this place remains in business. To add to that, the service was incredibly slow so it’s clear the owner is perfectly ok having an understaffed restaurant. Took 20 mins to get wine glasses and 45 mins for them to bring bread to the table.

My husband and I visited Piccolo for the first time recently, and we plan to return again and again. The food was superb. They accommodated my food allergies exactingly and with aplomb, serving me a delicious meal perfectly and exclusively prepared. My husband had the eggplant rolitini appetizer and raved about flawlessly melded flavors. For his main, he had the risotto with grilled shrimp and scallops. The exquisitely fresh seafood was exceptionally cooked, beautifully sauced, and the risotto itself had a perfect bite. The portions were so large that he took his dessert home – a tiramisu. It’s his favorite Italian dessert, and he has sampled it all over Italy and the US. Piccolo’s tiramisu is authentically prepared and rivals the best he has had.
