Piccola Trattoria is one of those places I can't stop thinking about. The artichoke pistachio ravioli is hands down the best thing on the menu and honestly one of the best pasta dishes I've ever had. The flavor is so creamy, and it's something I crave all the time. On top of the amazing food, the service is always incredible. Everyone is warm, attentive, and makes you feel genuinely welcome. I love going here and highly recommend it to anyone. read more

Piccola Trattoria - Pistachio Ravoli and Chicken with Mash - Italian Near Me - Santa Clarita, California

We visited Piccola Trattoria two nights in a row and had two very different service experiences--but the food was consistently great both times. On our first visit, we were lucky to have Hunter as our waiter. He was incredibly kind, attentive, and made our evening feel special. He offered great recommendations and made sure we felt well taken care of throughout the meal. His service really elevated the entire dining experience. The next night, we returned because the food had been so good--and once again, the dishes did not disappoint. However, the service this time was noticeably less attentive and didn't have the same warmth or attention to detail we experienced the night before. It wasn't terrible, but it was a noticeable drop from our first night with Hunter. That said, if you're coming for the food, you won't be disappointed. Just hope you get a great server like Hunter to round out the experience. read more

Place is absolutely precious. Drove in from out of town and had been craving good Italian food. The reviews did not let me down this place is delicious from the bread, muscles and ravioli, not to mention the addictive Lychee Martinis. Very happy I stopped to each here will definitely be back and recommend to all my friends/family. All the staff is very friendly! Although it is a more luxury experience I don't think dressing up is necessary. ( I opted for a dress and heals just in case ) read more

This is a top notch Italian restaurant. Excellent quality food, and they serve veal which I love. Service is great

Decent place. Food and service could be way better. Somehow food got better after microwaving it the next day! The service was a bit slow and honestly the waiter seemed to not care about our table in the beginning. Also I got a rusty knife, of course it was quickly replaced. The actual place itself is nice looking. Fancy. Bathroom could use some help. Valet seems nice but we didn't use that service. Food: Caesar salad was fine but the type of lettuce used made the salad taste watery. Prosciutto and mushroom pizza was meh, dough is good, but something about it wasn't making it great. Lacked flavor. Lamb chops were fine, 2 out of the 4 lamb chops given were great, the other two were meh, the veggies could be better, and the mashed potatoes were too plain. Sauce was salty. No flavor. Seafood ravioli lacked flavor, but the dish had a good amount of seafood!! Birthday dessert was nice! Additionally we also got the tiramisu, which was fine. read more

Just don't order the Caesar salad and you'll be okay. Stopped by this place on the way back home to San Francisco. They don't have parking unless you wanna pay for valet otherwise you have to walk a block. Bummer off first impression. Living in San Francisco there's endless authentic Italian restaurants to choose from on a daily. Such as Paradisio. Ordered mojito, Cesar salad, shrimp ravioli and Alfredo fettuccine. That Cesar salad was so tasteless and welted. Informed our waiter he dis absolutely nothing lol joke. The mojito was watered down. However the entrees was better. I would recommend entree nothing else. The service was ok. Just seem like the restaurants these days are trying to cut corners and back on cost which the customer is suffering from lack of quality. read more

Holy cannoli! Piccola Trattoria, you've awakened my taste buds. What a wonderful Italian restaurant that serves authentic dishes and provides warm, friendly service. I started off with a caesar salad and the crunch of the greens along with tangy dressing was perfect. I ordered the seafood pasta and it came with a medley of clams, scallops, mussels and shrimp. Delish! The cannoli was a great way to end the meal. Jen was an excellent server. She was attentive and always checked on us to make sure we had what we needed. If you're in the SCV area, can't go wrong with Piccola Trattoria! read more

* Valet is $6 We were a party of four, we made a reservation via open table. The restaurant was pretty full. Our table got a bottle rose, a decaf espresso martini, and an old fashion. The martini was yummy, I would prefer it again. The server was nice, and attentive. The calamari was a solid choice as an appetizer. My partner ordered the truffle pasta and he said he would get it again. It was rich and creamy. A strong truffle flavor. The server shredded the truffle at the table. I absolutely loved their Bolognese pasta. I 100% would order it again. I would come back to get it again. I have never been a fan of bolognese. It's always felt like a safe bet at new Italian restaurants but this one is by far my favorite. The affogato was a solid 4/5 This place is a solid choice and we'll definitely be back. I think the bill was about $200 without tip. read more

The food was delicious, service was excellent, and ambience was great!!! Definitely will go back to Ty different dishes!!!

We visited Picolla Trattoria for the first time last night to celebrate our anniversary. We would give 10 stars if we could. The food was phenomenal starting with our Burrata cheese appetizer to our lovely desserts. We cannot rave enough about our waiter, Zacharey. He was wonderful, answering our questions and making recommendations. He was warm, attentive and professional. He helped us have a memorable anniversary. We are so happy that we found this restaurant and will definitely return. We will ask for Zacharey for sure. read more

One of our fave spots for special occasions, birthdays, anniversaries, etc.Reservations recommended on weekends. Osso bucco is wonderful. NGL, Parking is atrocious. read more

I will never go back to my favorite place! I was so disappointed with the staff treating me as a problem when I wanted more ground pepper, but the kicker was my favorite salmon pasta dish, they put tomato pieces in to make it look like it had more salmon. I pulled out all the tomatoes and what was left, was not worth it. Never again! read more

Great Napoli style pizza. And the best truffle pasta for under 50$. Get there early or make a reservation. It fulls up fast. The decor is perfectly old world, they don't care about being trendy. It's all about the food here. In my opinion "The Best in SCV". 5 stars all round. read more

This place they made the best pasta a le vongole! Delicious clam spaghetti, I really love it!

Piccola Trattoria has a bustling, energetic and fun ambiance. Started with their top notch negroni which was the best I've had in a long while. Both the crostacei and spinachi raviolis were excellent and cooked perfectly al dente. We especially like the crostacei which was loaded with scrumptious scallops and shrimp in a unique rich sauce. The Italian bread and olive oil were especially good and kept flowing. The boys especially enjoyed their own mediterranean and prosciutto pizzas with a half bottle of brunello. Excellent wine selections, but would like to see more red options by the glass. Service was attentive and efficient despite the Friday evening crowd. Valet parking $6. Reservations recommended. read more

I had dinner plans with my mom's friend here and she treated me for my birthday. Parking was quite interesting--they have some sort of a vallet service included with your reservation since parking is tight. The location is quite nice with both indoor and outdoor seating areas. I don't think we reserved early enough so we were seated outside. Good thing it was pretty breeze, so it was a perfect day to have dinner outside. The servings were very generous and the presentation was amazing. It's really a fancy restaurant where you would go to get proposed to, or to celebrate a special milestone. read more

Excellent Italian food in an upscale environment. Pizza and pasta are both great. Service is very good. Only thing missing is free parking.

This Italian restaurant is a gem! I came here with my sister and we took food home to my husband and son. This place I believe is valet only which surprised me because I wasn't expecting that here in Santa Clarita. The valet guys are very sweet. Coming into the restaurant you can tell it's made for big families to come and enjoy! There are many tables big and small and the decor is beautiful! The service is very friendly and the food is amazing!!! Our whole experience was memorable! Don't forget to grab dessert! There's nothing wrong you can order! Highly recommend coming here for great food and service! read more

From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with that cozy, neighborhood charm and the kind of aroma that instantly tells you you're in for something special. The arancini is a must-order -- perfectly crispy on the outside with that dreamy, creamy risotto filling inside. The Margherita pizza is pure perfection -- light, flavorful, and straight out of a wood-fired fantasy. And honestly, every pasta dish I've tried has been a hit -- fresh, flavorful, and cooked just right. You can truly taste the love and quality in every bite. Whether you're going for a date night, family dinner, or just craving comforting Italian done right, Piccola never disappoints. The food, the atmosphere, and the service all make it one of those places you'll want to come back to again and again. read more

I have come in to Piccola before to celebrate occasions for friends and always enjoyed my time. This last time we came in to celebrate our Anniversary. Reservations are accepted so that helps getting in when you want. I like the small low light atmosphere here with the intimate dining experience. Small but cozy is how it feels here. Soft conversations happening in all corners of the main dining room and out in the patio they have covered seating with heaters, so you will be comfortable. We were greeted by our friendly hostess Lia who checked us in and showed us to our table. Our wait staff was attentive and courteous offering us great suggestion on the specials of the day. We started off with a Mozzarella Burrata bread appetizer. It was like a caprese salad on tasted bread but with the soft burrata it was sooo goood! We continued on to more specials on the menu to a Parmesan Pasta with fresh Truffles. This dish was slightly smoky and the parmesan cream sauce was perfect! Another entrée we ordered was a Risotto with Grilled Vegetables, another special. Compliments to the chef again! The kitchen nailed these two dishes. The portions were good and although I could have stuffed myself, I opted to take some home to have again later. Loved the food and it was on par with other nights out there. I love supporting local business and Piccola makes it easy with the good food and service. Parking is limited to valet only, so you will pay $6. You can try the street but it is usually packed in. read more

Probably the best restaurant in Santa Clarita. We are lucky that it's a short drive away. Sister restaurant Osteria is a close 2nd. You need a reservation to dine here, otherwise you may be turned away. Food is quite excellent. We went last night with another couple who are close friends of ours to celebrate Valentine's Day. We split a caesar salad, which was very fresh. Lots of creamy caesar dressing which is just fine with me. Maybe too much for others. My husband got lasagna which is literally the best lasagna I've ever had. It's made with many many very thin layers, drenched on one side with a flavorful meat sauce and so good. Honestly it's a big portion and could be shared. My friend and I both had the lamb chops which were also very good. Soft. I ate them with my hands, holding the bone. Don't call me a barbarian. They were small in size, but each plate had 4 chops. Came with mashed, delish, whipped creamy and buttery, and sauteed vegetables. Dessert was an apple tart for us 2. Made mostly of soft cooked apples, not really a pie or a tart but just as deliciously satisfying. Came with 2 small scoops of salted carmel ice cream. read more

Great food, drinks and service. Wine selection is vast and their liquor options are top notch. Highly recommend reservations via open table. "Outdoor seating" doesn't feel outdoors, which is great on a hot or cold evening. Don't let it deter you if that's the only open reservation. Bring cash if you can for valet. read more

Piccola Trattoria - Justin half liter wine bottles - Italian Near Me - Santa Clarita, California

Everything was delicious. We ordered the mushroom risotto, Taglioni con Tartufo from their specials (Truffle Pasta), Chimichurri Ribeye and Tagliata di Bistecca alla Griglia (NY steak). The balsamic vinegar from the sauce of the steak was a little overpowering to my liking but all other dishes were great. -1 star because they sat us on a dim corner right next to where the servers place their orders (felt kinda claustrophobic) and there was an empty table right next to it and we requested if we could sit on that table instead but the Host refused and she said it was reserved ( We also had reservations) but the entire time we were there, no other party used the table. The ambiance of the place was a little discriminatory from that experience. I honestly prefer going to their sister restaurant instead - Piccola Osteria. read more

Clean, delicious, sophisticated Sicilian Italian food. Yes, I'll be back. Piccola is by far a Treasure! This is an Italian Family business, husband & wife, etc. It's a Modern, classy, Italian spot, affordably priced. The food at Piccola is one of those places that reminds me of cooking for close friends & family at a home holiday, something over the top, special occasion type dishes. Service: If I could give them 10 stars, I would. A very meticulous Team, working in unison. The kitchen staff is by far one of the best! Attention to detail, refined side dishes. This place, the food and all the staff deserve a Michelin Star! Food: No other Italian place within 50 miles compares. It's worth the drive from Westlake Village, West LA, SFV, Bay Cities, Malibu, etc. AND Piccola Trattoria puts those spots like Nonna and Basta to shame. The food in general is very clean, not oily or greasy at all. Just the right amount of salt, and no overburdeny oregano either. The meat they use to make their sauces is lean, so the final result is not fatty. The dough in the pizza was fresh made through fermentation, not store bought yeast. The desserts were savory, not overly sweet or loaded with sugar. They were divine. The meat dishes were cooked to perfection and to your liking, the lamb chops, osso bucco, ribeye. Some of my favs: 1. Pizza w/ mushroom & prosciutto. I think they use Mozz & Sharp Provalone cheese. Yum. 2. The Baby Rack of Lamb Chops medium rare. Omg, tender and juicy. No funky game taste at all. Sauce on the side, so you can dip. 3. Ribeye cooked Medium. Savory, tangy, filling. 4. Get a cannoli! You'll thank me later. Light/flaky shell, perfect savory filling. 5. Oh, the Tartufo Classico was my favorite dessert. Prices are Affordable. I feel like you could easily get a meat dish at this place for much less than the price of a pasta dish or even a pizza at other Italian places. Piccola's menu is evenly balanced between meat dishes, seafood, pasta and pizzas. It's a good, well-rounded assortment that aims to please. Atmosphere is elegant, call it business casual. It's a great date spot, or a place you would bring your closest adult relatives. Kids welcome too! But by no means is this any kind of NY hole in the wall spaghetti with meatballs joint. It's more sophisticated than that. December 2024 Parking is $6 valet, or some street parking is available. If you're a first-generation Italian to the United states, or your parents are straight out of Italy, this is definitely the spot for you! Piccola T is exceptionally great food, at an affordable price, with great service. Honestly, dinner for FIVE people came out to around $300 WITH Wine, shareable appetizers, desserts (plural), 1st and 2nd courses. Good Luck trying to get those prices in Westlake, Malibu, or the West side. I feel like I got my money's worth at this place, and everyone at the table was definitely satisfied, felt full, and we all had a very delicious and enjoyable meal. AND we had leftovers to bring home. I came here once in 2018, and because of the pandemic and other reasons, couldn't get back until just now. But I will definitely visiting here more often for sure! Please give this place a try if you're looking for good Italian food at Great prices, without the hype. And please tell them I sent you. Cheers! read more
