Piccolino in Bradford

Exceptional meal. It's very hard to get authentic tasting Italian food outside Italy, but this place delivers. We had linguini with prawns, and the prawns were succulent and the flavour of the sea running though the pasta was magical. We'd love to know the secret. The service as always was polite and efficient. Can't wait to go back.

Fantastic service and delicious food

Spent almost £600 on a family lunch, asked for a cork to take away half drunk bottle of wine - watched a supervisor/manager try to screw a cap on to a cork bottle because she couldn’t be bothered to fetch one from the bar - Was met with attitude when I suggest she get me what I’d ask for given the money we’d spent. Not good enough - if you’re going to charge city prices please hire staff that can provide requisite service - aside from this we barely saw a server for the 2.5 hours we were there.

The experience here was simply exceptional, Harry M was so attentive to our needs and his cheerful personality turned a great experience into a special one. His recommended Spicy mango margarita was a drink I would never try prior, but after he made it I would say it’s my new favourite drink, thanks for the experience Harry!

Made very welcome. Just a bit pricey. Potions could have been a little larger but thoroughly enjoyable. Lovely service

The best food , service ,and smiles ,never ceases to be great , the food quality is brilliant . We love this restaurant ,mainly for the already mentioned reasons .

Beautiful views on the roof terrace, which cannot be argued with. However the food is average and very expensive for the quality. The service is slow and staff have little experience of the menus. We were on the roof terrace and there was a lot of noise from the bar and a lot of banging. The experience was average but this was largely due to the views and the company we were with bringing the rating up! I would not be rushing back, there are much better places to get authentic and reasonably priced Italian food.

Birthday meal with family. Advised on booking 1 coeliac and it was a birthday. Neither was acknowledged. Heavy rain on roof terrace and was coming through onto me, not acknowledged by staff, you could see the staff at the other side of the restaurant drying seats from rain, but we had to ask for napkins. Meal was lovely however more care and attention is needed by staff especially when it comes to dietaries, we were not asked before ordering if anyone had any.

Food average, forgot some items then charged £30 for glass of wine and we wern"t advised of this when we ordered. Left disgusted. Won't visit again

Came in on Friday and can I just say what a experience our lovely waiter Harry served us the service he gave us was above and beyond thankyou Harry will defo be returning ❤️

Member of staff Erin was fantastic , also Juan and Anna extraordinary staff love them so much, I have never received such incredible customer service. James was also very kind, hope I have names right. Will be coming here again had such a lovely experience Erin really made it so enjoyable for us absolute 10/10

A pleasant terrace, although very hot and cramped for our party of six. The service was okay, but the food was extremely average. The lasagne was tasteless, a small portion with no salad or garnish included in its cost. To add a side salad would have brought the cost to nearly 25 pounds. Had the food been at a base line as good as a home cooked lasagne it might have been less disappointing - it wasn't! Drinks were pushing the boundaries of price with the draught beer being borderline undrinlable. Desert was not an option given the overall food experience. Unfortunately we felt that a local garden centre offered a better product at less cost. My overall feeling was that the Ilkley aura or vibe coloured the whole deal. I would not do again and it's a shame as without good food the decor pails to nothing.

I’m a veteran (in age and Piccolinos) 20+ years over many changes of mgt, people, fit outs, menus. The current team is simply first class - perfect balance and blend of attentive but not fussy service, personalities (not generic cliched hospitality) and individualism. It’d be unfair to name names - as they’re all excellent and work perfectly as a unit. Food, menu, presentation is better now than I can remember. The Ilkley Piccs offers everything from a quiet discreet table or Mediterranean vibe on the roof or full on family celebration experience. So, all in all - still one the go to’s for us.

I had lunch on my own, was warmly welcomed, as I have been in the past, service is always good, friendly and unconcerned that I’m dining alone. The food was great and what I really like here is that the portions are not huge as is often the case with pasta. Excellent!

What a faboulous sunday lunch my family and i had at piccolino ilkley. From the very start front of house mangers margot and nikita made us feel so welcome and went out of there way to change to the lovely table in the window so my 7 year old happily sat. Every mouthful was delicious. The service was friendly warm and professional the perfect combination. They brought olives ealry for our hungry 7 year old and were so smiley throughout. 6 stars to matthew whos steak cooking abilites were our of this world . The sirloin and ribeye melted in our mouths and cooked exactly how ordered. We will be coming again to the fantastic experience of a restaurant with the fantastic roof terrace spectacle.

Great place staff were so helpful and attentive couldn't do enough for us food was amazing great service come again great

We had a great family meal on New Year’s Day after a bracing walk at Bolton Abbey. The food was delicious although the drinks were expensive. The staff offered to cut up the pizza for my dad who had issues with his hands following a stroke. They saw he was struggling and intervened which was very thoughtful. They were also great with our young children and managed our daughter’s dairy allergy well. An excellent meal all round!

New year's eve lunch with friends in the roof top terrace was terrible

The restauraunt was really busy but never less the service was really good and the food served piping hot . Good choices available from the NYE menu and we choose three courses - all good 👍

Everything was perfect. Service was impeccable Thank you for a nice relaxing new year! Will be back again! 💯

My husband and I popped in here on Christmas Eve on the off chance of there being a table available. Thankfully there was. I simply cannot rate the restaurant highly enough! The staff were all absolutely fabulous. We were served by many different staff members - and they were so polite, informative, friendly, pleasant…I could go on! In a world of all too often terrible customer service these days- the staff here were a refreshing change. It felt amazing as a customer/diner to feel so welcome. The food also didn’t let us down. It was SO fresh and tasty. There were plenty of veggie options to choose from. We were both honestly surprised at how great it tasted- again only because so many established restaurants are really disappointing these days…lukewarm food, rock hard etc and quite often you feel the veggie options are a chore to the chef…not in here though! We are going to return in January for my birthday. We don’t go up to Ilkley very often-but will certainly make a point of going more - to try the other dishes on the menu. Can the owner/manager please pass on to all staff how utterly charming they were on Christmas Eve. They really stood out with their excellent customer service skills. Thank you so much. We hope you all enjoyed your day off on Christmas Day!

Very disappointing - portions were tiny, food very overpriced. Fiorentina pizza was overcooked - burnt crust and dry egg in the middle. No orange juice and several dishes unavailable.

I've been to Piccolinos a lot in the last year or so, each time the service has been very poor and we've had alot of food written off, but the last time we went we were served by Margot, got to say, she made the whole meal, amazing service and she alone has changed my view of the place.

I met up with family. Service was good and food excellent, although a tad on the expensive side.

Superb atmosphere, staff and food. DJ vibes amazing. We had the whole place for a Christmas party and it was one of the best venues I've been to. Thoroughly recommend.

Always fantastic…. Been eating here for years….⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Even tho it was after 2pm on a Tuesday the atmosphere was great. The staff are so helpful and attentive. We chose from the lunch menu and went fir the 3 course at £25. Worth every penny and would of paid more. Great place

The bruschetta con gamberoni was amazing. Mouth watering. Plus the service was excellent (thank you Jeremy). We were in a rush and he got the food on the table, very good heartedly, in minutes. As always with Piccolino’s, excellent in every respect!

We arrived with our friends to a warm hospitable welcome from the manager Ben and once he had shown us to our table he was extremely attentive along with other members of the team. His recommendations from the menu and the wine list were excellent. We enjoyed a very pleasant lazy lunch and will definately go back again as soon as we can. I totally recommend this restaurant.

Been to lots of Piccolonos and this was the best yet! Pasta was to die for! Really really good food and service. Washed down With some lovely wine

Great atmosphere and venue. We were in the roof top garden, it was beautiful and so comfortable. Excellent service and delicious bottle of Chianti 😀. We had the tagliatelle Bolognaise and tagliatelle salmon. Both were ample portions but slightly on the salty side.

On the expensive side, tagliatelle could have done with more bolognaise/meat. Both dishes were slightly on the salty side. Excellent service, venue and the rooftop garden was fab. Would recommend but as I said rather expensive. Chianti was £33 a bottle but t delicious.

We made a booking as we were staying one night locally. When we made the booking we were asked if we'd like "the terrace" - which we said yes. Unfortunately, it was very disappointing. Music was dreadful - a continuous "Ibiza" beat. Not quite the quiet couples night we were looking forward to. The infra-red heating was creating it's own hole in the Ozone layer - but the draught from the window behind my back was freezing! We were encouraged to download the app - in order to get "the Friday discount special" - two courses and a drink for £25 per person. We did so, but the two courses were starter & main ( we'd rather have a main & dessert). The starters arrived very promptly and were very tasty. Mr M's plate was clearly heated in the bowels of hell. Even after the food was eaten, the waiter couldn't pick it up when he cleared the table. We had to ask twice about our mains and were told they were "two minutes away". We actually waited about an hour for our main course. In fairness, the food was fantastic - we both had the risotto. It tasted freshly cooked and egg was perfectly cooked. When we asked for the bill, it was presented with a charge of £224 - clearly the wrong table. When that was queried, another bill was presented for £55. Bearing in mind the "Two Course Special" was £25 per person, we were rather confused. Mr M queried the amount and was told the there was was 10% service charge! Under normal circumstances, we are happy to pay service charge or leave a considerable tip. However, the service tonight simply did not merit. A very disappointing experience. And I have deleted the app, as we will not be returning

Very authentic Italian food would be recommended.

Had a lovely dinner at Piccolinos on Sat evening. Food was delicious as always, the atmosphere is great on the terrace and the service was friendly and well organised. Thank you to Sergio who is so welcoming. Would highly recommend

I hadn't been to Piccolino's for some time so I thought it I would treat my better half to a meal at Piccolino's. The service was fantastic, I can't fault out server but the food was very average, definitely not value for money. The Arancini was amazing, the only part of the meal I can recommend but the Spaghetti Carbonara just tasted off, the pork was cut really thin and you could tell it had been cooked in oil rather than cooked in it's own rendered fat. Overall for a £100+ bill, it really wasn't very good which is a shame because it used to be amazing.

Great little Italian, pizzas was authentic asnd tasty they served Peroni Gran Riserva which was a bonus.

Good food eventually when it was served. Drinks very expensive, prosecco @ £40 & wine @ £30 a bottle rather steep! Service very slow, but, not the staff's fault, they did their best, couple of them kept apologising, bless them. The management need to look into staff shortage & issues!

Great service from Sergio & colleagues. Love the roof top restaurant in Ilkley - food as good as always from Piccolino! I would recommend this restaurant for a meal out with friends or family.

An excellent visit again with great service from Sergio and great food. Only downside, going home with very full tummy’s

Lovely experience, we took advantage of the Sunday sharing roast dinner - amazing. The waiting staff were attentive without being OTT. The food was beautifully presented: I personally had the vegetarian options which were perfectly filling. Points to bear in mind No lift to the first floor, second floor or terrace, but here are accessible toilets on the ground floor.

Can highly recommend, enjoyed our meal. Food excellent, service first class, nice to have linen napkins . Definitely visit again when we visit ILKLEY.

We were greeted by Margot and Iain who showed us to our lovely table in the window. Margot was wonderfully attentive throughout our meal making sure we had everything that we needed. Harry ensured that we never went thirsty and diligently topped up with cocktails, mocktails and wine. The food was delicious as ever, brought to us by Alex who can carry more dishes than looks humanly possible! Great dining experience with a fab team attending to our culinary and drink needs.

First visit as we were in the area overnight. We had Margherita pizza, garlic bread with tomato and basil, fries with truffle and Parmigiano, and honey dip. All absolutely delicious. Decor in the restaurant is really elegant and clean and tidy. Service was first class, Margot was our waitress and was, attentive and friendly, credit to the restaurant. Will definitely call again when we are in the area to try some more dishes.

Absolutely blown away - food was outstanding, photos don’t do it justice. The service was also amazing especially Sergio. Very attentive and quick. We also got a complimentary dessert for our anniversary, thank you so much Piccolino, we’ll be back 😍

Looked after by Sergio and Harry. Great service as usual and the food was incredible

Ace service and excellent pizza

Had another, very pleasurable evening, spent with family, for my daughter’s birthday. The food selection was delicious with decent sized portions! The front of house staff are always very welcoming and friendly as are the kitchen staff who always say hello ! Highly recommended.

Lovely meal , sergio was a brilliant host 👌🏻

Quality place to impress someone everything was first class from staff, food, atmosphere and venue, I ate up stairs on the cover roof which, I hear is amazing if the weather's on your side.

We managed to get a table here late on a Saturday night and loved it! We enjoyed a few cocktails and the place had a great vibe/atmosphere! As always, the food was 10/10. The pizzas are amazing and my partner had probably the best gluten free pasta she has ever had. The service is also amazing and we would strongly recommend this place!

What a lovely atmosphere on the rooftop seating area Food was gorgeous and staff ie Carys was superb taking all the banter in good spirit and obligingly taking photos Good selection on menu for food and cocktails Would definitely recommend

Ristorante du cucina italiana nel centro di Ilkley a pochi passi dalla stazione. Location: molto curata, accogliente e spaziosa, suddivisa su due piani ed una terrazza Food: ingredienti di ottima qualità, menu vario Drink: ottima scelta, bar completo Servizio: personale di sala simpatico, molto gentile ed estremamente professionale Conto: buon rapporto qualità prezzo, consigliato

Bland food, terrible service. Young inexperienced staff more interested in chatting than looking after customers. Spent half the night trying to catch their attention for drinks. Wrong drinks served or just forgotten altogether. We’ve been coming regularly for years but this was probably our last visit. Such a shame to have a great venue badly let down by poor food and service.

Visited for a belated father’s days meal and everything was AMAZING. The service and food was impeccable and we couldn’t fault anything. Joe our waiter was very attentive and just a lovely young man. Iain very kindly offered us a lovely table on the terrace for desserts and drinks after our meal and we just couldn’t say no! We were greeted by a lovely lady called Nikita on the terrace and a young girl called Cary’s who were both excellent. Our drinks made by Kellan and Harry were absolutely surperb. We will definitely be returning. Thank you for making the evening extra special. Our new favourite restaurant!

Quality of food is very good, however the environment is a bit noisy.

Very happy in taking dinner on my son's birthday

Food and service really good. One of our group had a vodka and coke to drink. It was £11.50. An outrageous price!

Sat at Piccolinos on Saturday 11th May for a birthday party. The venue itself is very nice especially if you can get a table on the roof terrace, on this day we feel Lucky in terms of the weather, the canopy was retracted and the sun was shining. Service was also very good, staff were attentive and smiley. The food again was very good, ordered the £28 platter grazing board which came with charcuterie meats, cheese, peppers, breads and balsamic onions (not to be missed) between 3 of us, this was very good. After this i ordered steak from the lunch deal menu, a little underwhelmed with this, the food was plentiful but bland and dry.....not often I can say that the fries were better than the steak. For dessert I went cliche with a Tiriamisu, also very good.

Fabulous meal on the roof terrace this evening complete with lighting rainstorm. Didn’t detract from the fabulous dishes we enjoyed. Excellent banter and service from the lovely James with outstanding truffle, parma ham, rocket and pecorino pizza - the best pizza I’ve ever had. Huge compliments to the chef and team. Really fab food and environment - as ever. Bravo!

Perfect in every way: food, great menu, friendly staff and a really nice ambience. Plus, sensible prices for high quality dishes.

A lovely place to eat. Great food.

Staff are very attentive and atmosphere is lovely. Food is a very high standard and there is a "garden terrace" upstairs with a roof that ope a/closes. Highly reccomend.

Lovely Italian restaurant in Ilkley. Good food and service, would recommend.

Really enjoyed my birthday lunch, thanks for making it so special.

Popped in for snacks and drinks before a meal we had booked elsewhere. Would have quite happily cancelled our other table and stayed here. We were greeted by Margot (fantastic name), who was friendly and professional throughout our visit. Nice relaxed atmosphere and the sharing board we had was lovely. Wouldn't hesitate to return.

Had an absolute fantastic meal here! I had the Spaghetti Carbonara and it tastes amazing! Would highly recommend and will certainly return to try more of the amazing menu. We sat on the roof terrace, however due to light rain the roof was obviously closed, would love to return on a sunny day, i can imagine its lovely up there! My partner had Lasagne which equally tasted amazing! Again highly recommend! For more inspiration and reviews, please follow me on: Instagram: megpeats Facebook: Meg P Eats Yorkshire

Gorgeous. We arrived at opening time on a quiet Thursday evening, we were on our way to the Kings Hall theatre. It’s situated right next to a large car park in the centre of town and looked very inviting with its twinkly lights. We were seated in a nice window spot by the welcoming waitress. I ordered a chicken dish and my daughter chose a duck dish. Both came with vegetables and were nicely presented. Both tasted delicious and sadly we were too full for desserts! Washed down with a pink gin and a tasty raspberry drink for me (driver). Paid around £65 total (including a service charge). The restaurant is beautiful inside and there’s another lovely dining area upstairs on the balcony. Toilets are upstairs (very nice) which gave me chance to have a nosy. Although quiet when we arrived it got busier within the hour. Staff are friendly and attentive. Not the cheapest Italian restaurant but certainly worth a visit we loved it.

We decided last minute to go out for food, easier said than done when one of you is in a wheelchair, no bother here though, called the restaurant & and hour later we were tucking in to our starters. Great food, really nice atmosphere and perfect staff. Such a lovely evening had, thanks for taking care of us!

Just been for lunch today the food service everything was fabulous 😍 and they took time to put there app on phone so we got half price thanku so much

The food was lovely, thanks so much to James for the great service!

Lovely food- and friendly staff.

Visited on Tuesday for a date night. For starters we had pizza bread and olives.. the olives were gorgeous and the pizza bread was very fresh and tasty. Mains , we had Lasagna and ribeye steak. The steak was amazing.. possibly the best I’ve had. I did compliment the chef as I was so impressed. We had 2x red wine (Chianti Classico) and 2x white wine (Pino). Total bill came to £61 - £15 tip. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Can I just say how impressed I am with the restaurants 50% off your bill policy in January.. usually restaurants don’t offer this and it’s an excellent idea to get customers through the door at the quietest time of the year.. ❤️ SUPPORT THIS RESTAURANT!!

Great experience, highly recommend for anything Italian in Yorkshire. Starters, mains and dessert are all great 👍👍👍

One of my most favourite places to eat!

Visited on Boxing Day, surprised it was less than half full. Food was lovely, kitchen staff were massively let down by FoH. Wine didn't arrive until we reminded them, then no glasses. Had to ask again for water. Waitress never asked if food was OK, too busy chatting at the till. Other than taking our order there was no engagement at all. The bill never appeared so we went to the till, 2 staff said 'thank you, bye', we said we hadn't paid yet'! We could easily have left without paying. I said we'd enjoyed the food but service had been poor. Response was 'I'll pass this on', yet she was in charge and was the one too bsuy chatting with our waitress! No apology or attempt to put things right. Disappointing as this could have been a much better experience. We'll stick to Piccolinos in Harrogate in future.

James was fantastic and attentive made sure we had a good time especially on a busy Christmas Eve.

Had a really nice meal out here this week to celebrate our 3rd anniversary (thanks for the cake). Staff were lovely. Atmosphere was great. The aubergine ravioli was gorgeous.

5 star service with 5 star food if your looking for a fancy night out with good food and great atmosphere then look no further

My first visit which was to celebrate my daughter's birthday along with my parents and nephew.. lovely environment and great service.. food was exceptional, maybe slightly expensive but well worth going for some authenticity if Italian food is what you're wanting.. bringing my daughter a birthday cake really topped off the whole experience.. definitely somewhere I will be returning to.

The restaurant was cold had to wear my coat when up stairs to toilet the room up there was red hot it's a pity manager couldn't be bothered to give a explanation when I asked why is it so cold here.....

Came back for pizza…. Again! Managed to get Johnny (top chef) out so my 6 year old could tell him just how great his pizza is!! Best in the world apparently! Service is top draw, highly recommend!

Bit expensive I thought. But nice for a treat. Don't buy prosecco though at £40 a bottle it's ridiculous!

Went for my birthday with family and had the best night ever. The food, the service, the atmosphere was just fab and we loved every minute. I had the lobster that was just oh *chefs kiss*. The staff were brilliant especially Antonio and Joe. Thank you for making our night very special, we can’t wait to be back!

Lunch time meeting with friend/client. Not been in a while so was pleasantly surprised. Arrived a little early but was greeted really well and shown to my seat. Good lunch menu on offer. Was served by Margot who was delightful, attentive and just lovely. The food for delicious! We had starters as shown and the lobster and steak combo for main! No pictures because we ate it so quickly. So overall. brilliant experience, great food and brilliant service! Thanks guys will be back!

Lovely food and drinks and the staff are amazing. A bit expensive for what it is.

Had a lovely meal with friends. Great food and staff were very attentive and friendly, in particular James 👊

James our waiter, was 10/10 - very attentive and gave the best service here had in a while. Will be back.

Had a great time, our waiter James was very helpful and went the extra mile to ensure we had a good time.

James was a fantastic host! 12/10,

Great Sunday lunch on the comfortable roof terrace. Staff were excellent

Had a great meal with family and friends tonight. Food was great as usual and service exceptional. Darcy was great and even tried to help me with my broken brace!

Rot starts at the top…. Very poor experience tonight at Piccolino. Staff chewing gum whilst taking our order which seems unprofessional and potentially unhygienic, especially when they stretched said gum out of their mouth and threw it into the bin behind the bar without washing their hands after. They got the order wrong for one our child’s meals. Upon pointing out that the ham pizza didn’t have any ham on it, the same pizza reappeared 2 minutes later with an uncooked slice of ham literally thrown on top of it. All of this was pointed out to Ian, the Manager, who clearly wasn’t at all interested or apologetic. If anything he was aggressive. I guess this explains the poor service overall. If a manager has no interest in the appearance his staff portray or the quality of food being served it is no surprise that this was a wholly disappointing visit.

We walked in on a Saturday night with no reservation. The front of house manager was very accommodating and squeezed us in on the last remaining table. The manager had fantastic knowledge as did the service team. They were great with recommendations and the food was all fantastic as well as the drinks. Fantastic value for money. I have been to other Piccolino restaurants around the country. Some hit and some miss. This one was absolutely fantastic. My partner and I were both super impressed with everything and would 100% come back. Joe M is the best waiter in town. If you come here, you want to have him serving your table

Great service, good food, and atmosphere for early dining. Steak slighly overdone for what was asked for but rectified straight away when staff asked if everything was OK. We dined on the sun terrace and will be back to try the downstairs eating experience.

Bought a take away meal from this restaurant for a special treat... It cost £47 for 2 lasagnes 1 with chips & salad the other just salad. The chips were oven cooked fries that were soggy by the time we got home 10minutes later, the salad was just basic lettuce tomatoe & cucumber, no pepper onion or rocket to be found. The lasagne tasted nice but a little dry so not a very good take away at all. The chips ended up in the bin... I'm sure a dine in meal for 2 from Waitrose for £12 would of been better. The service was good and friendly welcome just shame the food wasn't better

Always a lovely evening with a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Our waitress, Bella, was especially attentive.

Always a great experience. Come here alot. Highly recommended

Much improved over recent months Really excellent food

A fantastic meal we all had together to celebrate my sons birthday with my wife and his girlfriend
