Food was lovely, the choice was excellent. A grown up Italian with a cafe feel but a restaurant menu. The waitress was lovely. Very polite, very coy, very attentive. Not a Scottish voice in site, all Italian. Perfect.

Il cameriere was a bit grumpy and said we had our table for 2 hours and then we would have to leave. He then seemed to change his mind and said we could stay for as long as we wanted. It was an odd atmosphere.

Visited Sunday evening, on taking our seats we were told there was one item on the starters and one item on the carne section was left. We ordered our drinks and meal. Later the waiter advised us none of our choices were available due to a large party. Very very disappointing

Lovely wee place with great service. But they had no friarelli and no decaf coffee which was disappointing. And try not to sit near the door as an icy blast can blow in! Otherwise, a fab spot!

Friendly accommodating staff and really good food. We ate the day before the new menu launched but they were happy to cook items from it. Deserves to be busier. Wine particularly good value.

Great Italian food at the Piccolino. Our meal was early at 5pm before going to the theatre. Relaxed atmosphere, staff were friendly and very helpful. Meal was flavoursome aubergine, meatballs and soup to start followed by sea bass cooked perfectly, stuffed chicken amazing and rosemary potatoes were fragrant and vegetables fresh. We sampled a couple of red wines and enjoyed the white chocolate cheesecake to finish. Delicious!
