Piccolino in Nottingham

Had a beautiful lunch with the family. Can recommend the Tuna a new dish on the menu. We were served by Daniel who was a joy, so passionate about getting it right for the customer.

A great welcome from the team. I use other picolinno restaurants a lot and on arrival they knew this and welcomed me with a drink. Very simple but made for a much more personalised service. Thank you

Lovely meal, feels like a special meal out, not your average restaurant. The waiter we had was attentive and friendly (his name escapes me, but he was new and was great!)

Great atmosphere, friendly staff and beautiful food!

Lovley food and our server Daniel was very frindly and entertaining

Amazing atmosphere and great customer service, there was a good variety of dishes. Food was five stars and I’m definitely going back there

We were in Nottingham to celebrate Birthdays. On arrival we were greeted and looked after as soon as we stepped in. We were treated to prosecco at the bar and then seated. The food was amazing. For starter we had each variety of the garlic breads, which were all amazing. For mains we had a pizza, 4 seafood pastas and a creamy pasta all equally delicious. After a little rest we just about had room for a dessert and they did not disappoint. The chocolate fondant, foil wrapped choux bun, panne cottage and tiramisu were all delicious and they were happy to pack up one dessert that one course too far. We were not rushed and the restless very busy with diners still arriving at 10pm. I would highly recommend and it was the perfect place for a birthday celebration.

I wouldn't use superlatives however certainly very good. The backdrop of Weekday Cross seems to make this venue and would recommend the Tiramisu.

Greeted by a very helpful member of staff who told us about the QR code and 15%discount on a Tuesday night. Very extensive menu almost too much to choose from . A selection of retro dishes from the 25 anniversary menu I had melon and Parma ham as a starter . The portion of Parma ham was huge. My colleagues all had fantastic starters as well For main I had a breaded chicken which rather understates just how good it was.

This restaurant has a lovely ambience, and the staff are attentive. However, when four waiters ask you what you are going to drink, them fail to bring it, that is disorganisation. The food looked promising from the menu but I think we got leftovers from lunch - overcooked chicken livers for starter, similarly overcooked seafood in our pasta dishes. Come on guys, both these types of dishes take a max of 5 minutes to cook so I can only conclude that the kitchen it as disorganised as the wait staff. A job waiting for anyone with more knowledge or experience!

I had booked a meal for my bf’s birthday.. The service was really good, the staff was super friendly and the food was amazing! They also brought out a Tiramisu with a candle and sang happy birthday which my bf didn’t expect and had loved. Well taken care of throughout the night.

Absolutely fantastic restaurant and the staff are some of the most friendly and attentive I've seen. Food was beautiful and even though the place was very busy, the food came out quickly. Highly recommended.

Great place. We were a big sports team having dinner and they gave us a great place to have dinner. Great menu, lovely drinks and the best service. We will back again the next year. Thanks for Danielle the waiter for the service

The place was very nice with very fast service and lovely staff , we had a waiter called Daniel who was very welcoming and helpful to us Also the food was very good and very delicious. From Kacper and Mia

Food was ok, I've cooked better at home.

Waiter never stopped talking. Food below average. Charged 7.50 for 2 slices of bread.

Daniel gave us an amazing experience in this restaurant, from Food, atmosphere and service! Would definitely recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Beautiful restaurant, fantastic food and the staff are adorable, thank you so much for a lovely lunch experience 🤍

Our waiter was lovely and all the staff took great care of myself and my friend.

This is my first time for visiting this restaurant. The staff introduced and recommended drinks and food patiently. Delicious food and lovely drink, it was really a pleasant experience. If you become a Club IR member, you may get some surprise discounts.

A fantastic meal that satisfied a group of Italians! Thanks Daniel!

We had an excellent meal at this restaurant in such a convenient location. The tables were so well presented and proper with tablecloths. The menu was extensive and the lunch menu was really affordable. The food was delicious and our waiter Daniel was so friendly and attentive - a real star and advocate of his profession. Thank you.

Very good Italian restaurant with a posh look, friendly staff and tasty food! Loved the gnocchi sorrentina

Tuesday Aug 20th first visit to this chain. Staff were very attentive and did not rush us at any stage. Good range of food. Alot of tables. The meet and greeter told us of the many advantages of downloading their ap which amongst other offers gives 15% discount on Mondays and Tuesdays. My OH asked for spaghetti bolognese which was not on the menu...no problem. She thoroughly enjoyed it. I opted for lasagne which I found to be very tasty however it was unlike other lasagne I'd had as it seemed be short of pasta. Finished with a shared portion of tiramassu which was delicious. We will try the restaurant nearer home in Manchester.

This is a wonderful Italian restaurant with the feel of a family restaurant with wonderful food and wine as well.

Absolutely amazing food! Very nice, polite and helpful staff especially the manager Matteo who made us feel welcome and made us enjoy a little piece of Italy in the heart of Nottingham! We will definitely go back! Thank you :)

10/10 meal!! Giovanni and Paulo were so so so great! They couldn’t do enough for us! So kind and funny and just made the whole birthday meal PERFECT! We will be back!!!

I was in Nottingham this weekend with my partner and we decided on Italian food, we were not disappointed. The food was divine, the staff were so efficient. We had a chance to chat with the manager Vito and I'll say he's very welcoming and skilled at the job.

Thankyou so much for a beautiful birthday meal for my cousin. Everything was perfect. Drinks were wonderful and all of our food was delicious. Especially thanks to Giovanni and Paulo who made our experience at the restaurant so special and enjoyable.

Giovanni and Paulo - you guys are the most fun!!! Thank you for making my birthday meal so fun! We will return soon! Thank you guys you are the best !

Daniel was so amazing!! Came here for my hen do and wow the staff so so friendly and make you feel on top of the world!! Love them love the atmosphere and love the food!! Thank you all for making this so special! 🩷

The only good thing about this restaurant was my cocktail...crap smary waiters ...average food..completely and totally overpriced...if your female and want to be patronised this is the ideal location...

Great visit today. Lovely food and the staff were wonderful. Especially Joe(?) who was particularly good with my son ... Thank you!

Before and after, excellent food. First visit would easily return. Genuine staff, great atmosphere.

Booked for lunch. Two courses £20, three for £25. Starter OK. Eschewed Pizza or Pasta and opted for Feta salad. Tiny portion. Two cubes of Feta! Two 10p sized slices of new potato. All three meals were the same. £66!! Never again.

We had a lovely time celebrating graduation. Great food and and drink and atmosphere. Paulo was a brilliant server and we had a lovely time.

Daniel was genuinely the best sever; he was nothing but attentive and genuinely cared about us - and the other people he served. If I could be even 1% of the server he was I would call that a win. Genuinely, amazing food and great price. PLEASE GO HERE! It’s so good!

Food was delicious and the server was so kind and attentive. This was for my graduation and nothing was too much trouble for them — we arrived before our booking time and they made room for us. They also gave us a bucket and glasses for a bottle of champagne that we brought in free of charge. Yeah, really good service. Left a generous tip to reflect that. Really recommend the bruschetta con gamberoni, or something sweeter then go for the dolci per amici — hope I remembered the name correctly, but it’s a mini sharing dessert platter. I wasn’t so keen on the carbonara but other than that it was a great meal and lovely graduation celebration, thank you Piccolino Nottingham.

We had a celebratory meal for my sisters graduation here last night. The food was amazing and although the restaurant was very busy everything was bought out in a timely manner. Daniel was our waiter who went above and beyond to ensure my sister had the best celebration possible. He took his time explaining the menu to us and making excellent recommendations. All in all a fabulous meal

Daniel is a flipping great waiter. Gave us a memorable experience and clearly values customer experience. He is a massive asset to Piccolino Food was fab.

Firstly I found the team very accommodating we arrived earlier than our booking and the team got us in the service was very good the food excellent and it finished off a very memorable day as my daughter graduated in the best possible way . WELL DONE

Wonderful couldn't ask for more. I had delicious vegetarian option. Apart from maybe graduation cocktail on the day of graduation! #bitstingy 😘. On the whole, very very good.

We again enjoyed an excellent lunch at Piccolino last weekend. The food was fresh, well cooked and excellently presented, with attention to detail. All four in our party were delighted with all courses and, although the bill was hefty, we appreciated the delicious lunch experience again.

This was our first time at Piccolino but certainly will not be our last. Our waiter, Danielle, was very friendly and attentive to our needs and added as much to our fabulous experience as the food. The food itself was tasty and perfectly cooked, especially the Ox cheek.

Delicious food, great service and a lovely atmosphere! The staff are very nice and attentive :)

Such friendly staff and really good pizza! Would highly recommend.

Luxurious ❤️‍🔥. But not too posh. Freindly staff. Delicious food. Strange music 🎶 🥸. Could only hear the bass 🔊. Unusual for a dining experience. Perhaps some modern classical without bass ?!? Good location for us, staying at the leonardo hotel, we walked to this restaurant. We booked our table in advance.

Food was all perfectly decent, and the staff were very friendly and efficient. Expensive for what it was though (portion sizes were relatively small), and nothing to get excited about in terms of flavour, etc. I probably just made a bad choice, I'm sure there are much better things on the menu than what I had. I won't be in a rush to return, but a solid 3 out of 5.

Excellent quality of food with Brilliant customer service

Just had the risotto alla caprese. I tried it first in piccolino Liverpool about 2 months ago. It was so nice that when I was in Birmingham a few weeks later, I thought I'd give it another try. Whilst it was tasty, it was not as good as Liverpool. So here I am tonight in Nottingham going for round 3. This is by far the best of the 3. It was absolutely delicious. Thank you chef x

Disappointing Birthday meal. Food is nice but doesn't warrant the price compared to other restaurants in Nottingham. Drinks came out after starters were finished. Main came out what felt like 5 minutes after starters. They gave us the desert menu but after 20 minutes of no service we decided it wasn't worth it. Waiters seemed friendly when you got to speak to them but almost felt like they were blatantly ignoring us. Wouldn't go again personally.

Really enjoyed the food it was exquisite. Was very busy so it was a little hard to talk to the staff. Really enjoyed overall.

Service is brilliant lovely staff, very accommodating and helpful. The food is where it was disappointing. The starter of the bread and olives were fine- nothing wrong with them. But a very tiny portion of olives. The pasta was unfortunately very bland and a huge plate that takes away from the tiny portion. The food was disappointing…Especially for the price. 5/10 for the food 9/10 for the service

Very disappointing and expensive. Requested table with plenty of room but put on a cramped table next to a wall to start off and then told we could have our pick of the many vacant tables! Waited over half an hour to be served. Went elsewhere for more food and drinks

We went for a work dinner as a group of 9. I had tagliolini with truffle which tasted very good, I just wish the sauce was a bit more creamy. Still, I’d have them again. Daniele, who was serving us for the night, went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time. Red Valpolicella definitely to try if you like red wine!

We went for my Grandson's 6th birthday (His choice) they made it very special for him,amazing food a great atmosphere and at the end everyone joind in and sung happy birthday to him it was very special 10 out of 10 Poccollinos!!

Was such a great dining experience. Since the moment we stepped into the restaurant all the staff were so friendly & welcoming. Our server Daniel was amazing! So lovely & performative. Absolutely recommend coming here!

Called in on the off chance there was a table. Was greeted by a lovely man who gave us the chance to sit where we liked. The service was excellent and staff were very professional and polite, also I was presented with a happy birthday message on my tirrimisu Thank you Mrs K

Daniel was the best waiter ever! E stato deliziso!!!!

Was very disapointed in the food. I thought my charitzo was over cooked/ burnt on 1 side, waiter said it was meant to be like that? Thought the customer was always right? Obviously not in Piccolino's. Everything we had also had a lot of salt in it

Fantastic food, best Italian meal for a long time. Thank you Alex the waiter for the recommendation of food the seafood ravioli was amazing.

Just the best place to go in Nottingham for a fun lunch or a romantic evening or to catch up with friends. We live 40 miles away and come back time after time. The food is amazing, the staff are amazing, the choices of wine are amazing. I guess you already know, we are amazed (but table 16 is ours) 🤗🤗

You didn't fail I've only sampled the food (it was awesome btw) I've not been inside to see how good the service or atmosphere is because I'm the homeless guy in the doorway next door. (Hahaha, hope it's ok and doesn't impact either business in a negative way)

One of the few Italian restaurants making pasta and tiramisu properly, highly recommend it!

I visit regularly since it’s one of the best places to eat in Nottingham. I was asked by Daniele if I can leave to leave a review and of course I’m happy to do so. Highly recommend!

Lunchtime with my sister and niece Chose from the fixed lunchtime menu very good value for money Food was excellent and the wine choice Fabulous service from our waiter Daniel A thoroughly enjoyable meal Thank you

Daniel the waiter was brilliant so was the food and drinks :)

Very good service provided by Paolo

We had a wonderful meal today, Daniel was exceptional. Thank you Daniel for making my Mum’s birthday so special.

Daniel was very attentive and professional. Felt like a best mate welcoming us to a family meal. The whole experience was like a family meal and it was lovely to meet their little man who was proud of the wine store. Felt like we where back in Italy, thank you.

It is a super nice place, since we arrived Giovanni's attention was impressive, we had a drink at the bar before dinner and it was super good, the food was simply wonderful, the chef was very kind in accommodating our special requirements with the food , my husband had a burrata starter and I had calamari, for starters a very well prepared sirloin steak at its perfect point and I had a sea bass, it was delicious, the detail of the desserts for the birthday boy was super special, to highlight the kindness of All the people there, Gabriel, Paolo, Giovanni, it was a very nice, enjoyable and 100% recommendable celebration, I would surely return again 👌🏼

The server was extremely dismissive and unhelpful. I think his name was Gillian.

The food standards are very high, i have been in many different Piccolino and the Nottingham restaurant has the best food and customer service. The staff are very helpful and polite, so i highly recommend. Also the restaurant is very clean and cared for.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Food was average and cold when arrived. They did have gluten free options and when asked, provided colours and paper to keep kids entertained.

What a lovely find in Nottingham! Super location, delicious food and wine and terrific and attentive service from Daniel. He's quite a character and adds a wonderful and authentic Italian flavour to the restaurant. Thank you for a wonderful afternoon.

Very enjoyable meal out with friends .Thanks to the waiters

Wonderful service from Daniele, very attentive & really friendly! I ordered the risotto al gamberoni which was by far one of the best risottos I’ve ever had. Look forward to dining at Piccolino’s again

Absolutely fantastic afternoon at piccolino , incredibly warm welcome, lovely staff and the food was spot on......100% will definitely return!

High standards of food and service. Our experience was really enjoyable. Definitely one to come back for

Had a lovely dinner for a friends birthday our waiter Danalle really made our experience. I’ll definitely be returning due to the service. I couldn’t fault our waiter super attentive and charming.

Danalle was so amazing. He was so accommodating for our friends birthday and made sure our dinner was super special! :) thankyou!!

Excellent food and 5 star service from Daniel!

Kjempegod italiensk mat. Vennlig og god service. Vi spiste pasta med trøfler. Perfekt tilberedt. Kommer garantert tilbake.

Kind and courteous staff. Excellent food.

Never been before but really enjoyed it. Superb menu , superb atmosphere . Excellent food and very good service . Thank you Marta for a fabulous welcome . Excellent and comfortable time . Woyld come again .

Booked in person and then an hour later they phoned to say we can only have a bar table so popped back in to check it out, was told we can have a bar table in the centre so all was ok, when we arrived at our booking time we were told it was no longer available to us, the young waiter was extremely rude and no apology given he just walked away… said waiter really needs to work on his people skills as clearly lacking in customer training, absolutely a disgrace to the business. Will not be recommending due to the incompetence of that particular waiter.

We came here for a colleague's leaving do. Danial really looked after us and was an amazing attentive waiter. The food was lovely, authentic Italian and the atmosphere was 10/10. Absolutely would recommend for a date or group event 😊

Couldn't fault this place. Great service, great wine and exceptional lasagne. Price was reasonable for decent quality food.

Went with my partner for date night we were greeted on the door and were escorted to the bar to have a drink before being seated at our table. Very friendly staff and great service, the cocktails we had were delicious! The food arrived promptly however, the carbonara was burnt. The dish itself tasted and smelt burnt so we didn't touch it but the ceasar salad and pizza were very good. We didn't recieve any complimentary drinks or have the food removed from the bill which isn't expected but always nice to make a returning customer.

cracking service from Daniel ! food was fantastico !

We ordered pizzas and pastas and all was nice. However service by waiter daniel made the experience incredible and very fun

Daniel is nice!! Vongole Pasta is good And dessert is 🤤

Lovely food. We ate about 4.30 so quiet early so wasn't too busy. Lot of staff wandering around with nowt to do watching you eat which was a bit uncomfortable for me but other than than was lovely.

This was our first visit to Piccolino. I went with my daughter and three year old granddaughter for an early dinner. The service was superb throughout the entire meal. Every member of staff was polite, efficient and cheerful. And everyone made a point of engaging with my small granddaughter, which she loved. We ordered a range of starters and main courses all of which arrived quickly, and tasted delicious. My daughter also commented on how good the wine was. A special thank you must go Daniele, who was our main waiter. He was the epitome of a professional waiter, and again, went out of his way to chat to my granddaughter, which made her feel included, so she enjoyed her meal, which allowed us to enjoy ours. She even had to find him and give him a hug when we left. I would highly recommend this restaurant. Although this was our first visit, it won't be our last. Grazie to all the staff.

We've come here on every special occasion (graduation, birthdays, anniversaries, etc) and come with friends and family from every walk of life. Never had less than the perfect experience.

Visit this restaurant every time we are in Nottingham and it always delivers. Fantastic food, great selection of both food and drinks with authentic Italian food. My partner is Italian, and it is a pleasure to see him eating in a restaurant that he truly enjoys. Daniele was attentive to us in service today, and a very cheerful guy to have in the team. Highly recommend and will be visiting again.

Visiting family in the area and they highly recommended this restaurant. Authentically Italian and they had a really great menu selection and were accommodating for children. We were a larger group (8ppl). I’ll start off saying that all of the food was delicious! However, our service started off absolutely horrendously. We waited around 10 minutes before we had to ask the host for menus. It was another 10-15 minutes before we had to flag someone down to get some water. That individual did not seem happy to have to attend to us and was quite dismissive. That requested water didn’t arrive until we had been sat for 50 minutes, needed a follow-up request with a reminder for it and it wasn’t even enough for the whole table when it did eventually arrive. Our server, who showed up after 30-35 minutes of us having been sat, didn’t greet or acknowledge us, just straight to asking us what we wanted. This server had been hanging around our table area during the entire time we were there, slowly setting up an adjacent table and conversing with other workers. We ordered some appetizers and when they arrived, one was incorrect but when we politely noted the error, our server said that’s what we ordered as that is what she had entered on her screen. A couple other members of our party mentioned they heard the correct order but she stood firm saying we were wrong. Another server came to assist and asked us if we wanted the correct item. We didn’t want any further delays so we kept what they delivered as we wanted to get some food into us, yet asked to have the correct item brought. We were charged for both. After having our mains arrive, another server, Daniel, took over and the service went very well from there. We were able to order more beverages and water and he checked in to ensure the food was to our liking. He was very professional, polite and competent and rescued our dining experience. Our family who lives in the area go here regularly and noted that this was a not a common service experience however it was very disappointing for all seeing as 2/3 of our time there was spent dealing with that awful woman.

Food was amazing. DANIEL was an amazing waiter… I do reccomend this place; was a lovely atmosphere… the pizza and dessert is really really good…

Excellent selection of food, feels authentically Italian. Great efficient and friendly service. An enjoyable night out

We had a fantastic night out at Piccolino Nottingham. Our server Daniel is charming, attentive and we were so well looked after by him. We had antipasti, olives to start with and king prawns mussels spaghetti which was fresh and packed with flavor. We finished off with a bottle of wine. Would definitely return !!
