The food was so good, some unique takes on classic Italian. We got the lasagna and the hot sausage pizza. We also got a house salad and bread (the bread is so good, worth the money) and all of it was great. It is a little crowded but we got lucky with the window table in the front so we had plenty of room. Service was good.

Always enjoy this place! Excellent food. A tad crowded, but it does create a lively ambiance. Service has always been exceptional here. They make you feel like family. It’s BYOB, but you can purchase drinks at the bar behind the restaurant (though I haven’t tried that yet). Outdoor seating when it’s nice out. Their bread baskets are especially delightful.

One of my favorite Italian restaurants in the city. It is small so you should call ahead and get a reservation. It is BYOB and they charge a corking fee BUT if you get your wine from their bar around the corner, Grapperia, they waive the corking fee. We got two bottles at Grapperia and brought them in easily for our party of four. For dinner, I recommend trying one of the antipasto or a pizza as your appetizer. We ordered the antipasti platter, the bread basket, and the cacio e pepe polenta. The pasta dishes do change every so often, but I have never had a bad pasta dish or pizza here. Even if you’re stuffed, you HAVE to get the tiramisu to finish. It’s incredible. Last night, I had the cannelloni, my boyfriend had the tortelli, and we split the tiramisu.

I’ve dined twice here, both had great food and service. For appetizer, mushroom burrata and cauliflower are quite unique here. The pistachio pizza is to die for! Pasta-wise, spinach tagliatelle and garganelli go well with sausages which add some saltiness. The tiramisu is amazing, it has a lemon taste and is probably one of the best ones I’ve had.

The service and atmosphere were impeccable. Really enjoyed the peach risotto paired with the wine that my friend and I brought to the restaurant. The spaghetti that we had was not very seasoned but I absolutely enjoyed the experience and will be back!

Great food at decent prices with friendly and relatively fast service. We tried polpette, two types of pasta and panna cotta. The only complaint was the space is a bit crowded, and other customer might bump into you. Will come back again for the pizza!

I travel extensively for work and dine out often, so I rely on recommendations from local people. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough!! I have traveled to Italy several times and have not tasted more authentic, truly delicious fare than Piccolo Forno. Every dish was so freshly prepared and the spices were so enjoyable, the taste danced in my mouth! My absolute favorite is the spaghetti made with crab and shrimp, possibly my favorite dish EVER. Please don’t imagine traditional spaghetti, it’s not even close.

I really think this place is low key one of the best restaurants in the burgh. Food is impeccable, service is great, and their corkage fee is unbeatable. Will ruin you for other pizza in this city
