Despite my last name being only three letters, they still misspelled it and had a hard time finding my reservation. I had asked for a high chair when I called but they didn't note it and seemed annoyed by it. We waited 15 minutes and we didn't even know who our waiter was. We stopped the manager to ask her and she sent out a very nice gentleman to help us. Perhaps he was the best part of the restaurant. It took a very long time to get our appetizers and an extremely long time for our dinner. We were there for almost 1.5 hours before we had our entrees. The food is ordinary. The atmosphere is loud and unorganized. The spacing is extremely tight so that each time a waiter passed behind me, he would jolt my chair. I'm a small woman. I was disappointed by tonight's experience and it might be a few years before I try them again. read more

This restaurant's food is "good", not great, not fantastic, but a solid ok. Yesterday we called TWO HOURS in advance, for a pick up of 4 dinner entrees. Ordered at 4pm, got there, through the door at 5:55pm for a 6pm "pick up". At 6:20, STILL no order! Absolutely NO apology from staff for the extreme chaos & ridiculous delay, just overall terrible service! We were taking dinner to some friends, so this was an additional embarrassment, now being 30 min. late for dinner. If it was for just my wife and I, I would have walked. I normally cut folks slack, especially with current business situations, but this was completely wrong, rude and didn't care. It will be along time before I return, if ever. Don't recommend. read more

It seems the only consistent thing about Piccolo's is their inconsistency. I ordered dinner thru their on-line service last Wednesday, and it was truly disappointing. Mussels in wine sauce that were dried out, veal parmigana that was the size of a deck of cards, rigatoni in vodka sauce that was mediocre, and no bread to be found. The final insult was that they charged me a 5% "pick-up fee". I paid an extra charge to pick up my own dinner. Really? I've used Piccolo's for years, and stood on line for an hour to pick up food when the lock-down started to support a local business. Am so disappointed to see what has happened. Maybe the boss needs to come back on site. read more

We came for a dinner to celebrate my moms BD with 12 of us including kids. For appetizers we had grilled and fried calamari, grilled octopus, staffed portobello mushroom and few ceasar salads with chicken and shrimp . Everything was delicious! For main course we ordered few steaks, seafood pasta, salmon with pesto and chicken Marsala . The main dishes cake with crab bisque soup which was delicious as well! Everything was perfect except for steaks . We ordered medium rare but it was more like we'll done. One of the steaks we asked to replace because it was over cooked (others were ok although not exactly what we wanted ) , the waiter put an order for new steak with no questions ask and my son got perfect medium rare . Desert was great ! We definitely come back to this place but probably not for steaks . The rest was perfect and delicious! Comparing to other Italian restaurants in Bucks county this one definitely on our top list ! read more

Pizza review only. I have never eaten at the restaurant, but take out slices at least once a week. They have the best selection of slices in Newtown - I would guess 15-20 different varieties, including vegetarian, whole wheat. Crust is always crispy and one chicken parm slice is more than enough for lunch. read more

Best old Brooklyn pizza I've ever had. Cooked just to perfection. Perfect crust, perfect amount of salt, cheese, tomatoes and seasonings. Staff are really nice here as well. For a place for what it is, I'd give it a 4.5 stars. They get 5 from me though. read more

Ambiance is FANTASTIC. Wait staff is FANTASTIC. I think the food is just OK. We still have a great date night when we come here because the ambiance makes up for it. :) read more

I rate most Italian restaurants on their ability to prepare chicken parmigiana. if you can't make this simple dish, why try anything else? In the case of Piccolo, the chicken parmigiana is so good, I have trouble wanting anything else. My wife has enjoyed everything from mushroom pasta, eggplant, shrimp and even salmon. The pizza is 5 star as well. This restaurant is a family staple. read more

Don't use the online ordering. Was not checked and food never got made. First time going there and last time. Tried Again. Had to ask for The Other Half of my Order. Staff seemed to be bothered for my pick up. Pizza was Shitty. Raw and Undercooked. We tried to eat and bottom crust fell apart and was undercooked. This was outside of normal busy business hours. 2pm. Kitchen looked dirty and no staff had gloves on when they touched my food. read more

you lost me and my family before i even came to your restaurant. post the true prices on the website. no excuses.

Just grabbed pizza from the Newtown and it's over baked , we ordered and went early to pickup and it was still over baked , there nothing worst than hard pizza.... disappointing read more

Piccolo Trattoria - Over baked pizza - Pizza Near Me - Newtown, Pennsylvania

Came here on Sunday with my boyfriend for some light pizza and salad. We started with the calamari which was soooo good. I love that there are so many vegetables involved especially the peppers, it gave the calamari some zest. Then we got the piccolo salad. It was good but kind of not what I was expecting but the dressing was very good, I enjoyed it. We finished off with a wheat brooklyn pizza. I ordered wheat to be somewhat healthy but I definitely wouldn't recommend it for others because I think because of the wheat dough, the cheese and sauce don't hold so well, everything kind of slid off the pizza slice when I picked it up. Nevertheless it was delicious and I'll definitely be back for some of that calamari read more

Just got back from Piccolo Trattoria and I gotta say, I am impressed! You see, I am a pizza connoisseur and I have traveled far and wide searching for great pizza. My favorite pizza is DeLorenzo's tomato pie in Trenton on Hamilton St. The thing is, it's not always possible to get out there when the pizza itch strikes. Normally, I head over to Aldo's for their Brooklyn-style pizza but I go mainly because it's so convenient. This evening I checked Yelp and was surprised to see Piccolo Trattoria getting some pretty awesome reviews... how could this place be down the street from me yet I've never been there? We ordered their sausage and broccoli rabe appetizer and the Brooklyn style pizza. I really liked the app. The broccoli rabe appeared to be steamed rather than sautéed which resulted in a much more firmer stalk than what I am used to preparing. Regardless, I enjoyed it and would order it again. The Brooklyn style pizza looked gorgeous! The crust was thin and crunchy and everything was fresh. I am pretty sure they crushed the tomatoes themselves. Would I say this is the best pizza ever? No. Although, right now, I would say it's the best pizza in Newtown. I will be back. And I almost forgot, we also ordered a canolli. Very good. read more

Husband said "this is the worst dining experience we've had in years." Maybe this was an "off" night but I am shocked at what a terrible evening they provided. We went for dinner with another couple who had two small children. It is a miracle the two kids did not melt down as we waited 90 minutes WITHOUT ANY REASONABLE EXPLANATION for the adults to be served. Thankfully, the other couple got the kids' orders in right away. While they noshed on their chicken fingers, we were able to enjoy 2 of the 3 salads that we had ordered. Then, shockingly, there was nothing. After about 20-30 minutes our server appeared to tell us she was sorry, our food would be right out. When we asked 20 minutes later she said "about another 5-10 minutes." We watched several couples who had been seated AFTER us get served first. No one came to refill our water glasses- we had to ask at least twice to get that simple courtesy. What in the world did we actually order that took so long? A vegetable pasta dish that I know takes about 15 minutes to prepare, eggplant parm, shrimp scampi, and the arugula salad. These are BASIC ITALIAN DISHES that I know as an amateur home chef are STANDARDS that any good cook can whip up in a flash. No manager came to our table. Our server gave no explanation, just apologies. f the service was a bit more prompt I would have been tempted to just give it 3 stars on the food alone. Good, serviceable Italian but nothing overly awesome. I had the salad which was OK, I should have gotten the dressing on the side, otherwise it was completely drenched. My husband's pasta was merely so-so, we were underwhelmed by the quality of the eggplant and tomato sauce. Both on my salad and on his pasta the mozzarella had taken on a waxy shell, as if it had been heated and re-heated improperly. Our friends liked their dinners but admitted they couldn't say it was worth the wait. The manager was definitely there moving OTHER tables along. Their were kids far younger than our friends' at neighboring tables. So I am not quite sure where the disconnect was. They have a loyal following which I am sure they deserve but my husband and I will not be coming back ever again. read more

This place is actually an incredible find. The pasta dishes are fresh, the appetizers are unique, and the pizza is to die for. Specifically, the margarita pizza is second to none--and I have had margarita pizza in probably 50 different locations throughout my life. Only problem with this place is its prices. Yes--you get what you pay for in terms of flavor but not in terms of portion size. I always find myself wishing for a bit more. The pizzas too are a bit expensive, and if it weren't for that godly margarita I wouldn't buy pizza from them. Alas, they have me trapped by providing the absolute best margarita out there! Give this place a try, you won't regret it. Order that margarita! read more

We had a wonderful lunch here today. We started with the pizza which was out of this world. The tomatoes were almost sweet. I talked to the owner later and he shared with pride about the special tomatoes he brings in from California. The salad, Orange Roughy and the steak were all spectacular. I can't believe that we still had room for cannoli but we squeezed it in and it didn't disappoint! We also got a picture with the owner. It was an awesome afternoon. read more

Piccolo Trattoria - My favourite Brooklyn pie - Pizza Near Me - Newtown, Pennsylvania

Seriously, the Brooklyn Pie is my new fave pizza on the planet. Fresh mozzarella, fresh basil, super thin crust. Incidentally, my second favorite is L&B's Spumoni Garden's (since 1939) Sicilian (2725 86th St. Brooklyn, NY). Imagine the pie that could take down New York's best pizza? I go to the Pennington location - 800 R Denow Road Pennington, NJ . Telephone 609 737 9050. read more

We'll start with things I didn't like, since I gave it 4 stars, you know I liked the place. Got the grilled veggie appetizer, and didn't expect it to be cold! I hate the idea of grilled food coming cold. I realize it makes it easy for them to always offer it, but gross... I was definitely not pleased with that dish. The rest of the food was delicious, we enjoyed their pastas. Their dessert was particularly good, and I would come back more for their dessert than anything else. I love the decor, it's romantically dim, but not too dim, and getting a booth to sit in is a great touch. read more

We have been disappointed so many times regarding authentic tasting Italian food. This place however delivered in a big way! Caesar salad was spot on, with fresh shaved Parmesan, dressed beautifully. 4 Of us have been here twice so far and have sampled 8 of the chicken dishes... All superb The side of pasta was very good with nice red sauce Broccoli rabe was great Located in a shopping center however, nice comfortable ambiance inside. Great service. I can't begin to say how I prefer to write glowing reviews like this... sad that it is not more often. I travel often... really appreciate quality read more

I prefer the pizza at Meglios, but this place does better pasta dishes. They have pastas "al arabiatta", carbonara, and pretty much anyway that you like it. read more

My go to place every time I'm in Newtown. Great food and staff. Try the Brooklyn pizza...you will not be disappointed!

The service was good. Beyond that, the food was awful. A friend and I went there tonight, and left agreeing that not only were the appetizers awful, but the entree as well. They use that jarred garlic - which tastes like plastic - and load it on thick. Authentic Italian this place is not. Our first clue should have been that they were empty on a Sunday night. Or maybe that was because they are so overpriced for terrible food. read more

I'm going to make this quick. I caught one of the cooks in the kitchen scratching under his nose repeatedly and not washing his hands, or wearing gloves. Eww. Second, there were flies all over the pizza pies in the front. Third, you can't have prosciutto in the Pasta di Fagiole soup because, as I was told by the counter person, "we're Muslim." Nothing against Muslims, but if a customer wants prosciutto in their soup, shouldn't she or he be accommodated? And, if they sell pepperoni pizza, isn't that made out of pork? Why not put prosciutto in the soup? Somebody explain this tome, please. I have Muslim friends and I respect what they believe. But how can you be a Muslim when it comes to soup, and not when it comes to other items on your menu? Since then, I've been going to an Italian owned placed for my pizza. Not because I like Italians better, but because they know how to make Italian food better. read more

Decent pizza, really only go for Brooklyn Pie which I remembered being better (hardly any basil, sauce is way too sweet). Real issue is the staff is by far the rudest in Newtown at any restaurant I can think of. They make ZERO customer accommodations. Used to have a loyalty kinda program where you could collect 15 coupons from pizza boxes and get a free pie. Apparently they stopped it, but wouldn't honor the coupons. How were we supposed to know? Theres no expiration date so you would think they would accept any outstanding considering it shows you come often. Then we got yelled at because the credit card machine wasn't working (CASH ONLY! he yelled). Staff must be underpaid because they're rude every time I go.. LAST time i will allow them to yell at me-- I'm NEVER going back. read more

Excellent food and service. The Brooklyn pie is out of this world. We go almost every Friday. Great options vs. the normal pizza parlors. read more

Our recent visit to Piccolo was positive in all respects. We arrived at 6 PM having reserved through Open Table and were seated immediately in the large center dining area, which was already quite crowded on a Saturday night. Service was excellent -- waiter immediately brought bread and a declicious smokey marinara sauce, kept the water glasses filled throughout. The food was excellent and the kitchen even agreed to prepare a combination that was not on the menu. We would go back again in a flash....good to see such an excellent Italian restaurant in the area.... read more

I flew in from Los Angeles and finding good Italian food was a priority. Piccolo's does not disappoint! The bread was amazing and served warm. We had bacon wrapped shrimp as an appetizer. The shrimps were huge! My chicken parm was delicious. Our waiter Greg was amazing. He was willing to do anything for us. Attentive, funny and accommodating. Perfect addition to a perfect meal. I highly suggest having dinner there. Thumbs up! Thanks Greg! read more

Thank you Piccolo Trattoria for catering my baby shower! The food was absolutely incredible; we had multiple compliments from guests and the crepe station was the best. Your servers always had a smile and were so polite and professional. Would hire again and again! read more

The food is usually good.. today I was disappointed to see lots of workers behind the counters not wearing masks. Half of them had masks the other half either had no mask or it was around their neck. I don't think I'll go back. read more

As far as the food goes I can only really comment on the Margharita pizza and the house salad. The first time I checked this place out that's what I had and I haven't been able to order anything else since. I love this combo! The pie's ingredients are all fresh and tasty, prepared with just the right proportions. Same with the salad, very fresh and pretty decent sized. Something about a strip mall restaurant turns me off, but as they go this one is surprisingly nice. Once inside the ambience is pleasant and relaxing. The decor is traditional with a modern touch. Table settings are very nice with clothe napkins and table covers, good stuff! The wait staff are profession and courteous, maybe just a little robotic. All-in-all the service is very good! I have to try the Brooklyn style pizza but I just can't break away from the Margharita pizza yet. read more

This place is one of my favorite Italian restaurants in the Yardley Newtown area. It can get pretty crowded on a Friday or Saturday night. Its BYOB, so that cuts cost. The décor is nothing special, it has a bit of a cold feel in some way. But when real crowded, that goes away. The food. I personally think that their red sauce is one of the best I've had (I try it at least once at almost every Italian restaurant I go to). Lets not get snobby about red sauce being old fashion. A good red sauce is NOT easy to make. It can often be tasteless, acidic, runny, or it can "break" (solids separate from the liquids). This place has it down. They also have one of the best pink sauces I've ever had. One of my fav dishes is the lobster ravioli with pink sauce. I'm not a fan of their white sauce on their pasta. The other standout thing that they make is their pizza. Their Old World Brooklyn Pie is to die for. People line up on Friday nights for takeout and a large percentage are getting this pie !!! I cant say enough about this particular pizza. This is not a pizza joint, but they have really good pizza. read more

Upon entering Piccolo's you immediately pick up the much anticipated fragrance of homemade Italian cuisine. Being able to scope the place we had no wait before we were happily greeted. This restaurant is in two halves nicely decorated with just the right ambiance. Since it was a Tuesday evening, maybe a quarter full to capacity we were taken to the furthest, smallest table right by the open kitchen. Our music was the clatter of pots and pans and the wait staff station happened to be right behind me. Our waiter greeted us in a timely manner and most pleasant. We gladly listened to the evenings specials and that is where it started going down hill for me. There was so many specials and with a heavy Italian fast speaking accent, I had no idea what was said. (Much rather see them written with the prices.) My companion and I noticed the prices were not as affordable as advertised. Before we made our final selection we were asked if we were ready to place our order only once before we were. You have a choice of soup or salad with your entree. Fresh rolls were served, one for each of us. No comment....... Dinner was served with very nice portions. The food was fresh. The bus boy did refill the water once but could not wait to clear the table before we were through eating on several attempts. What's with that???? Would I go back? M a y b e. Maybe not, but not in a hurry. read more

The pizza is usually very good.. The takeout? This is my second and last time. Pasta dishes by no means should ever be that expensive, and if so? Should have some authenticity somewhere in the dish. Both orders were on the level of sub par pub fare. The pasta itself? cheap, the added seafood, over cooked, the flavor uninspiring, and the presentation? Styro foam or no styro foam, was terrible. We also ordered two salads. The one was topped with "fresh" pear.. The pear was so rotted a child would have known better.. Incredibly expensive for below average. Stick to pizza or get your act together in that kitchen - read more
