This is kind of a classic somewhat upmarket suburban Italian restaurant…read more We were initially going to be squeezed between some other tables but requested to be sat by the window instead which was pretty nice. I had scallops to start. They were fine but, I don't know, maybe I should stop ordering scallops. The problem is once you've had really good ones it's never the same and also it's NEVER ENOUGH. That guy had pork spare ribs to start which were enormous. He was basically full after he finished them. He then had an even more enormous calzone, which he said was a bit soggy and struggled to finish. He was fake/not so fake offended by the waiter calling him a 'bambino.' Meanwhile, I got the risotto buongusto because I now automatically order anything involving truffles because of this amazing meal I had once at Salt Yard in London. Predicatably, it was not on that level but fine none the less. Basically does what it says on the tin, and the mains in particular are very reasonably priced.

This Italian place is charming and the service is amazing. Went here on a weekday night and it was…read morevery low key. Service was given with a smile and the food was great. Authentic Italian with a few specialty items I have never seen on other Italian menus before. They will make your food whoever you want it, you just have to ask. The server was almost insulted to think that we would not order our food the way we would like it. Definitely a gem of a restaurant here in Poynton, a must try.

High quality South Italian favorites, in a beautiful atmosphere accompanied by a very welcoming…read morestaff. Restaurant is sizable seating up to about 120 people. Full bar available. Generally plenty of street parking. The house made pastas are exceptional. I would order the pizzas, a little more overdone to make them more crisp - they are the Napoleon style thin ones. To keep this menu affordable, more standard ingredients are used such as hothouse tomatoes instead of heirloom. Regular fresh mozzarella is used instead of burrata. Standard sauces for seafood dishes are a bit on the heavy side.(meaning heavy cream, or lots of butter.) but you can request the pasta be tossed in olive oil garlic and parsley instead. The appetizer portions are generous making them excellent for a light meal.

Solid Italian restaurant - food and service was very good. Would go again if we were in the area.read more

The place has a family feel to it and the waiting staff are so welcoming and make the dining experience a truly enjoyable one. I would recommend the pizzas and the garlic bread with NQ sauce - absolutely out of this world!!! Prices are really reasonable and I spend as many birthday celebrations and anniversaries eating here. 10/10

The menu is extensively pleasing, there is literally something for everyone. I had a venison dish of the special menu, the flavors were constructed very well. They have pizza, pasta, salads and main meat or vegetarian dishes. My wife had a great dish with pancetta, mushroom and truffle oil. It was perfect. They have Italian beer on tap, local beers in the bottle, Italian beer on tap and a great wine selection.

Decor was really nice as well, not at all what you'd expect from a quaint little English village, very modern. They also have one of those open kitchens where you can watch them cook the pizza's in a big stove.

I'm definitely going to give this place another chance because I heard great things about it, the…read morestarters were all wonderful. The crab and carbonara pastas were delicious, but I was beyond disappointed with the bolognese. It's obviously the restaurants recipe and people must like it if it's still on the menu, but in my opinion is was very sloppy. I did not enjoy it at all. I ended up switching dishes with my husband (he ordered the crab pasta). We also ordered cocktails and they were all delicious. The staff was very friendly, the restaurant is very nice. We also liked that many of the staff was Italian or my husband seems to think so, so that was cool. Next, we will be trying the location in Didsbury.

Piccolino is a reliably nice place to eat, the restaurants are all very elegant and the staff are…read morevery friendly. We went on one of the best evenings of the summer so even though it was Tuesday it was packed and service was very slow but we weren't too bothered given the pleasant weather and surroundings. Food wise we had decent seafood starters of crab and scallop and then bf had a calzone which he really enjoyed and I had tagliatelle with summer truffle - I went for large which was a bit of an error as it was massive but somehow I still managed to eat it all. It's a nice touch that the menus contain information about where all the ingredients are sourced - despite Piccolino being a chain you get the impression it's food and service first rather than brand (or quality food and service is the brand). I don't think you will have a mindblowing dish here but you won't go too wrong either.
