Really cool atmosphere with great food and service…read more I was worried because this place is a chain, but after walking in and seeing the vibe, I was put at ease. I ordered the breakfast sandwich and it was really amazing. Bacon and sausage and a hash brown and an egg, honestly you can't beat that. My only complaint is the coffee was a little too bitter. Otherwise I'll definitely be back.

The only complaint was there wasn't enough. My son had the French toast with banana cream and pavlova. It was almost gone before I had a chance to taste it. My Wife had the corn croquette Benny which was nice and flavourful. We took desserts to go, everything I tasted here felt like moms baking with a twist. Oh and the kids loved their hot chocolate!!

They are made thin, similar to a crepe, but with the taste and texture of a pancake. They make both savory or sweet pancakes - with loads of varieties. And if you can't find something to your liking, they are willing to make a few changes to the items on their menu. This is a cute location, around the block from The Shambles, everyone here is friendly and helpful, the whole experience is delightful.

They do a great americano, love the '70s soundtrack, and a lovely (if cosy) space. They've a few tables out back and a selection of beers on tap too for a few evening pints.

Just got back from a meal out (on work's behalf) and it was absolutely delicious. I'm so full, but…read morethe three double espressos have kept me perky :D I had delectable mussels, then tender, velvety fillet steak (you have to order veg/chips etc as side orders - that's how you know it's posh), then blackcurrant sorbet. And half a zabaglione. Then the espressos. And some champagne. And house red. Ooooh it was so tasty. If I could afford to eat here off my own steam, I would. Starters are between £5.00 and £8.50, mains go up to £22.50 and puddings are around the £5.00 to £7.00 mark or something. I think the bill came to about a grand for 18 of us, including drinks. Worth every penny. Of my work's money. Nomnom. PS I liked the spinny doors. And the service was ace. One of our waiters had very cool specs and was super nice to me after I mentioned them.

I'm not quite sure why I've never tried Piccolino before, I've walked passed it a million times and…read morenothing has every lured me in. I eventually decided to try it after I was trying to book a table for twenty on a Friday night at another Italian place around the corner but they said it was too big a party. A friend suggested Piccolino and so we went with that. There ended up being thirteen of us for a hen-party meal (not THAT kind of hen party, it was all very subdued, honest) last Friday. I'd told them beforehand that we had a smaller number than previously planned and they were fine about it. We arrived just before our booked time of 8.30 and it was full. Very full. We waited in the small waiting area for over half an hour before they squeezed us in somewhere. When I say squeezed I mean it - there was no room to move and as I was on the end I had my elbow nudged a number of times by waiting staff pretty much running by. So I'll go with the positives first. They gave us some free breads and olives because of our wait (we had been there over 45 minutes before our order was taken). The food was gorgeous I had the baked mushroom and goats cheese starter (£7.50) followed by a spiced aubergine pasta (£9.50) for my main which they made with penne for me rather than the spaghetti it comes with on the menu (I try not to eat spaghetti in crowded restaurants as anyone in my vicinity will be covered in it). Portion sizes were great and it was all really, really tasty. I'd also sampled a gorgeous limoncello bellini while we were waiting to be seated which was very tasty. Now for the not so positives. As a veggie I was a bit gutted at the lack of veggie options on the menu (one veggie pasta, one veggie pizza and two veggie risottos for the mains). I found the whole atmosphere quite stressful. As I've said it was a Friday evening and was full but I've been in plenty of busy restaurants that have been nowhere near that noisy. I mean really, really noisy where I could barely hear the person sat next to me. I don't know if it's because they had so many parties in or if the ceiling is low or what but it really ruined the feel of the evening and made me want to rush my meal. I was also not at all impressed with the service. We'd asked for a jug of water four or five times before some of us (not all) were given a glass of water each. The waiter didn't bother coming round to each of us to take our order but stood at the opposite end of the table so we had to shout across (I've already mentioned the noise level so this wasn't easy). Now my friend and I have a bit of a weird food thing and we don't want the world to hear what we are ordering so we weren't impressed with this. When a different waiter brought the food out we couldn't hear what he was shouting and he wasn't the one who had taken our orders so we all just looked at him and tried to guess which meal belonged to who. So far so bad. It was really difficult to get the waiter's attention at any point as they were all rushing around and if one of us got his attention and asked for something, he would run off before anyone else on the table could ask for what they wanted. My friend attempted to order a glass of Merlot for about 10 minutes and then had to wait about that long again before she received it. Merlot-gate then started when she thought it tasted foul and when we compared it to what was allegedly a glass of the same that someone else had ordered it was obviously off. The waiter replaced it with a glass that was drinkable but didn't seem very happy about it. In the end we didn't bother sticking around for dessert (not something I'm in the habit of doing!), we got the bill and left. It was a real shame that the service was so bad, I don't know if they were short staffed (although the staff weren't particularly apologetic so maybe not) or that's just how it is there. The crazy noise level, rushing around of the waiting staff and having to shout our orders across the room made for a stressful evening so I won't be back on a weekend evening again. Having said all that, the food was gorgeous and I accept that you need to try a place more than once before you write it off so I may try it again through the week and report back on whether I come back out with a headache and grumpy face again!!!

Their menu has delicious items, including fresh juices, etc. They offer breakfast, lunch, and dinner which is pretty fab.

I wanted to go back and get it again the next day but unfortunately other duties called. The service was so friendly and food is fresh. We would absolutely go back again on a future visit!
