What a great value for the money. This is not super gourmet food but it is very good and because of the value and service and pretty darn good food I am giving them 5 stars! The pasta tasted very fresh and the portions were big and we all took home leftovers. Everything was very fresh. I got the veggie pasta and it has large pieces of fresh veggies in it. The sauces were not quite as good as I had hoped but they were definitely good enough and quite tasty. The service was quick and accurate. The price of each entree was very reasonable AND it included a small side salad which was actually super tasty and had great dressing AND a free dessert. The desserts were excellent. The free desserts we chose were the cannoli and the tiramisu. They were both great but the tiramisu was outstanding. It was a large portion and you could tell it was homemade. The free bread was not good but so not important. We would definitely return. read more

Had an amazing experience at Piccolo Stivale! The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was exceptional. A special thank you to Abraham, the owner, who went above and beyond to make sure my daughter Kamila could enjoy her meal. Since she is unable to chew food, he took the time and care to accommodate her needs without hesitation. His kindness, compassion, and attention to detail made us feel truly welcomed and cared for. Kamila enjoy her pasta it was just perfect!!! It's rare to find a restaurant where the owner is so personally invested in ensuring every guest has a wonderful experience. The food was outstanding, and the hospitality was even better. We will definitely be coming back and highly recommend Piccolo Stivale to anyone looking for great food and exceptional customer service! read more

Piccolo Stivale - Kamila's pasta was just perfect!! - Italian Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

Food was great! Desets were ok. Service was great!! We started off with cheesey garlic bread. Everyone loved it. Then we all had a fresh salad, everyone ate everything on their plates. Daughter's shared linguine and clams. They really enjoyed it. Waiter brought it out already in separate plates, which was nice. They are both usually picky eaters. One finished and the other almost finished their portion. Wife and son both ordered lasagna. They both really liked it. Wife said it was very fresh. The tomato sauce wasn't thick meaty, sloppy and overpowering, but light fresh and not too sweet. It was definitely a healthy portion of lasagna. Wifey ate over 1//2, and my son usually finishes his plates, but couldn't finish the lasagna. I had the seafood linguine. I can't eat tomatoes, so requested the sauce to be changed from tomato to the wine sauce. They were able to accommodate. Fresh pasta and seafood. I ate everything on the plate, and soaked up the sauce with the warm bread that was served upon request. Now the desserts. We had two of each of the canolis, and tiramisu. Wifey said one of them didn't taste freshly/ home made, but forgot which one. That was the only negative I have. However we did eat all of them, sooo.... Ambiance nice candle lit type atmosphere. It was night time and we ate outside, so it was perfect. read more

I was greeted by Georgina and she went out of her way to just be pleasant and accommodating. Then the owner Abraham came out to personally take my order. I couldn't ask for better service. I highly recommend you take time out of your day to eat at this place is beautiful inside and outside they have expanded to NextDoor. They have even more seating room. I ask questions about the menu and he was so helpful. He asked me about my preferences and the dining experience between the two of them was above and beyond I could've asked for. I started with the garlic bread with marinara sauce and I ordered pasta with spicy sausage in a vodka sauce. It came with a house salad. I couldn't tell you how much I appreciated how wonderful the food was then they kept asking me what I wanted for dessert and they didn't charge me for it saying it's complementary to everybody. I can't wait to come back here again and I'm still here. I didn't finish my food and they packed all of it to go and they welcome my little dog with open arms to sit outside. This is the best little gem in Huntington Beach. Be prepared because on the weekends this place gets so busy that is why they expanded. I waited a while to come back because of the heat to sit outside because I enjoy sitting outside and I like to take my little dog with me when I can, I took her for a groom today, right down the way, and then came here for dinner. I can't begin to tell you how full and satisfied I am with so much left over. It's amazing. read more

This place should get more recognition, the food here absolutely blew my mind. First the side salad was delicious with the house made dressing, the salad to me was a little over dressed but I personally did not mind that. The cheeses garlic bread was delicious, packed full of cheese and underneath the cheese you can see loads of garlic, very delicious, I wished the bread itself was just a bit more crispy In texture but otherwise very delicious. The chicken parmigiana was also amazing. I've had a lot of chicken parmigiana in OC but this one is right up there. Juicy, moist on the inside, crispy on the outside, opted for angel hair pasta and it was delicious. They gave me a free dessert and I chose the house made bread pudding and again the best bread pudding I had in OC. Makes me want to come again for dinner tonight. And the waiter that day was on point. Great service. read more

Very friendly and attentive staff, delicious food at a reasonable price. Food came fast and hot on a Saturday evening. Dinner for 3 just over $100 with tax and tip. Perfectly cooked lasagna, spicy sausage and pasta, along with Cavatelli & Broccoli Milanese. Everything was delicious, portion sizes were just right, good sized but not too large. Very nice, cozy indoor seating and outdoor patio for nice days or evenings. Highly recommend, we will be back. read more

The food is fantastic and the service is terrific. I can't understand why this place is always so empty. I am here for the first time enjoying the chicken marsala and garlic bread. Everything is delicious. My daughter had spaghetti and meatballs, and the meatballs are obviously made fresh in house. So good! This is a great Italian place that nobody in Huntington Beach seems to know about so come on down! read more

This was our first time trying this restaurant and it didn't disappoint. We got the spaghetti with meatballs and the penne with sausage. Both came with a nice house salad.

Great food. Terrific service. Nice atmosphere and we love the dessert especially the cheesecake.

This restaurant is definitely a hidden gem in Huntington Beach. I found this place by searching for Italian food this app. The Chicken Parmesan was the best I have ever had. I like to get marinara on my chicken and alfredo on the noodles...the flavor combo is next level. The service is outstanding and the owners are really nice people. My meal comes with salad and bread as well as complimentary dessert. The bread pudding and cheesecake are delicious. My friend ordered the same thing and the total was just under $51. I don't know anywhere that can match the quality for that price. Picollo Stivale is a must try for anyone that enjoys Italian food. read more

My partner and I have been coming to Piccolo's for 4 years and have always had a great meal and wonderful service. The owner Abraham, is especially helpful with our dietary concerns.

Hidden gem! Amazing service!! fast, friendly, and welcoming. The food was incredible! We started with the calamari and it was to die for, especially the flavorful marinara sauce. We also had Doc's Favorite and the Scallop Linguine, and every bite was packed with flavor. Perfect spot for a girls' night, date night, or a last-minute dinner. We stumbled upon this place after the wait next door was crazy, and it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. We will definitely come back. This is a must-go! read more

I give Piccolo Stivale 5 Stars, been there and dined four times and every menu item is brining with flavor and freshness. Last week I simply wanted some kind of pasta dish, ordered the Sunday Special with a creamy mushroom, sun dried tomatoes and garlic. Perfect! My girlfriend ordered Chicken Parm and she had leftovers that she enjoyed the following day, very tasty. I have dined on the pasta with sausage, Doc's Favorite... awesome. We often bring in a Pinot Grigio and there's a modest corkage charge. Don't let the decor fool you, it's like dining in a fine Italian kitchen. My favorite Italian in HB! read more

Stopped by this spot for a quick bite and we were pleasantly surprised. The service by Georgina was fast and friendly. And the food was delicious. My wife had seafood pasta with some Chianti and it was exactly what she was looking for. I had the chicken parm sandwich and it was great. The best part was the bread pudding dessert, totally what I needed and didn't even know. read more

Amazing Steak Milanese! Super thin and cooked perfectly. The Chicken Parmesan was good. The garlic bread could have been more flavorful but the bread was incredibly fresh and light. They seem to be short staffed so the service is slow. It's an unassuming place but the food is impressive. read more

Everything was great. The owner is incredibly thoughtful and made the experience amazing. Food was delicious. The owner heard us talking about wanting bruschetta even though it wasn't on the menu and he stepped in and told us he can make it and it ended up being the best bruschetta ever. Ambiance was peaceful and calm. Overall our experience was so great. Will definitely be going back. read more

Piccolo Stivale - Bruschetta - Italian Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

Tried this restaurant for the first time for a small group dinner for a friend's birthday. One of the people in our party highly recommended Piccolo Stivale and it did not disappoint! This is a nice, quaint restaurant tucked away in a strip center close to shopping and the beach offering both inside and outside dining. The staff was very friendly, attentive and helpful. There were 4 of us in our party and everyone loved their meals and wine. The food was fresh and delicious and the prices were reasonable considering dining out and groceries have become more expensive. We will definately be back and I highly recommend dining here. Delivery is also available on Uber Eats and DoorDash. read more

I've been to Piccolo Stivale (little boot) several times, and for good reason. They serve very good Italian food, big portions and at reasonable prices. In addition, the setting is very casual in a strip mall on Mag near Garfield in HB. This time it was for take out bc mija was in town, and I still can't drive yet. I had the chicken parmesan w/ a side of spaghetti w/ marinara sauce. Entrees also come w/ a side salad. She had steak milanese w/ fettucine alfredo on the side (sorry, no pic). We shared a fried calamari app. The calamari was GBD even after the 10 min drive home. Additionally, the portion was large for the price. Likewise, the chicken was tender, and the breading was nicely seasoned. Both of our portions were so large we had leftovers. I had half my meal remaining, while mija had 2/3. I have never had bad service here, and I have always found it friendly & warm. The takeout was packaged nicely, and it was ready on time. PS is a great neighborhood place that is conveniently located by Home Depot or the bike shop that I frequent. Its no wonder I'm the Duke. read more

Ordered Uber Eats had it delivered food was 45 minutes late. Everything was cold. The meatballs were burnt the garlic bread for eight dollars was two thin pieces of bread tasted stale. The side salad it said came with you could put in a Dixie cup. I would not recommend this place. There are so many better Italian restaurants just around where they are go up on Beach Boulevard. read more

My family and I absolutely LOVE piccolos! Its the only italian restaurant we ever dine out at or order from. We have ordered here from uber eats and called for pick up today. Even when we dined in it was spectacular. Delicious and authentic food always taste so fresh. We got the shrimp alfredo, garlic and cheesy garlic bread, vodka penne chicken parm, cheese lasagna, and cheese ravioli with sausage, and the cesar salad. Great portion sizes and they always give extra marinara. Our order was ready in 20minutes and we called as soon as they opened. The owner, Abraham, even threw in 2 cheesecakes and 2 tiramisu's for us. A chef helped me carry my bags to my car and service is always perfect. Amazing experience every time. Would love to see them expand! Also, i need to know what dressing comes on the house salad!?! Its so good! read more

Italian restaurant with no flavor. Ordered lasagna and a salad. No flavor on anything. No garlic on the lasagna or garlic bread! Terrible.

Perfect place to take a date or family , It's both (romantic,intimate) My family of 7 popped in with no reservation on Saturday.....that would be an automatic red flag for us since we have such a large group it felt so intimate I forgot I was in what looked like a shopping plaza, they really made us immediately feel welcome.The food was amazing, chef Abraham is great,wish I would've eaten more I tried a both red and white pasta deli, bread,salad,tiramisu!!!!
