When you walk in to this restaurant, it has the feel of a converted bingo hall. The portions are good sized alright. But for so many of dishes we had....tye flavor profile was just way different and off. Even the marinara sauce...just different. I could still eat it and did. I just didn't enjoy it and ate it because I bought it and not gonna waste it. I'm sure there's an Olive Garden in the neighboring town of Joplin. I highly suggest to go there for your Italian fix. I'm not a big fan of Olive Garden....but it's sure far far better than this place.

Omg!!! Well, where do I start. We came here on referral from a friend. From the moment we walked in…read morewe were greeted with a warm welcome. The staff were all so nice. It is nice and clean and nicely decorated. Now the best part; the food! We got bread and marinara as we were seated. Amazing. We also got mozzarella sticks for an appetizer, salad, and the tour of italy entree, which we shared. Everything was delicious!!! We came to the area to go to the Precious Moments Chapel and museum. This was well worth the 2 hour drive. The picture speaks volumes! Plus, we ordered another entree to take home to have for dinner!

We celebrated two birthdays here last night and Piccolo's did not disappoint! Kaylee, was our…read moreserver and she was truly a 10-star server! The manicotti with blush was excellent. The others had eggplant parmesan and said it was the best they had ever eaten. One ate Italian nachos and did not care for it, but she's often times disappointed with what she orders in restaurants. The bread sticks were right out of the oven and excellent. The salads were fresh and very good. The dressing was outstanding and one person in our group bought a big bottle of it to take home. The birthday ladies were gifted a dessert. We all tasted the amazing lemon cake and Tiramisu and both were delicious beyond words. Parking is right out front with easy access. Reservations are recommended. We ate early at 4pm when they opened on a weekday. Highly-recommend it, if you're one that dines early. They offer a separate room for big groups. I'll rate Piccolo's as the best dining experience in the Ozarks!

Nice place, the staff, hostess& server were friendly…read more Unfortunately food was Not. Pasta was Mushy, Chicken VERY DRY, Breadsticks were warm , soft good.

Our waitress was running the whole show except cooking and you could tell she loved her job. We loved her service! It's a cozy little restaurant and gets packed quickly. Ordered their Twisted Tater pizza and that was different, not in a bad way. Waffle fries drizzled with ranch dressing toppled with lots of cheese, almost like a loaded tater but on a pizza. I definitely plan on a return trip to try their pasta menu as well as try one of their amazing desserts from their display!

(This is what I order at other Italian restaurants)! It came with garlic rolls. The eggplant, was sliced very thin, and breaded, I chose the spaghetti for my pasta choice, which the eggplant was served on top of spaghetti. The pasta sauce was "ok". Could have had more garlic, Italian seasoning in it. Also ordered some garlic bread, which was very good! Came with marinara sauce. My wife got the penne pasta, the same marinara sauce on it. Phillip was attentive to all his tables, as well as ours, very likable! (I asked him his name before I left) The restaurant was very clean, food was good, even if not seasoned enough! Although we did not get a pizza, or Stromboli, they looked very good on the other tables that guest had ordered. We will definitely be back!

Two of our party got the pizza rolls (ham & pineapple and then a pepperoni), one the lasagna & also a meatball sandwich (they toasted the bread) with fries! We left with full happy tummies!
