Piccolino - Knutsford in Cheshire East

A lovely meal and a very yummy birthday treat! Thank you!

Another excellent meal at one of our favourite local restaurants. This time with visiting Danish guests who loved the whole experience too.

Excellent food and a vibrant atmosphere

We came in for our end of season meal with Knutsford Netball Club. Food was delicious and great service - thank you!

Always lovely to visit Gianluca and the team! Best service & food :)

Florin and Lily ensured we had a lovely meal! Great meal, warm atmosphere, lovely setting and ambience.

Food very expensive for what you get.

Food is always Excellent! Great atmosphere Professional staff

A little expensive but nice atmosphere

We very much enjoy the roof terrace. The food and service were excellent as always. The staff are always tentative and friendly. Big thank you to Florin for looking after us. See you all again soon

Lovely food excellent service from Florin and a lovely wine recommended by him whilst our usual was out of stock. Will definitely be returning

Excellent food and service. Florin was brilliant, I gave a couple of choices for my meal and he surprised me with courses that really complimented each other.

Wont be going back . Took 1 hour for garlic bread with cheese . Was poor quality when it came and we were only told about the wait when we asked . Another 45 mins for main course . We cancelled . Felt we were being treated really badly . Not sure if it was the restaurant manager or head waiter was very confrontational with us . Not apologetic . We were quite happy to pay for what we’d had but he wouldn’t let us : was quite aggressive about the whole thing . I’m a regular at Hale , and been to knutsford 4/5 times .

Excellent food and customer service! The food, wine and attention to detail is all top notch! You’d expect the pasta and pizzas to be superb, given it’s Italian cuisine, and it absolutely is. But what may be a surprise, is the steak. They are probably one of the best this side of town. Shout out to the team for looking after us, especially Florin and the chefs. Thank you!

Fabulous place. I remember coming here over 25 years ago. I think it was the first Piccolino's. We came for lunch on a cool but sunny day. We decided to eat on their terraced area as there were nice heaters. Starters, we both had King Prawn Bruschetta, size and flavours excellent with nice light bread. Mains, we both had the fish kebabs, plenty of fish perfectly cooked. Service was fast, friendly, and efficient. Bill was good value as we had two courses for £20. Finally, probably one of the best playlists at the right volume!

Came here for dinner with my husband and two children whilst staying in knutsford for his work. The minute we walked in the staff were looking at the kids like they didn’t want us there. We were seated and I asked for somewhere to put our pram. I was told to keep it there at our table (in the way) We proceeded to order and tell the staff about our three year olds allergies to which we were told any allergy orders take a long time to make. We ordered his food straight away hoping it will come when ours comes to eat together. His food came after 5 minutes which was great but we sat for 45 minutes waiting for our food. The staff avoided eye contact. Didn’t update us on anything and acted offended when we asked anything. I asked for a a dish on the menu but have the meat changed for prawns for religious reasons and the waiter rolled his eyes and said don’t complain when it doesn’t taste nice. Honestly felt like I was in someone’s house without an invite. Very rude and inhospitable. Kept hearing them complain to each other about allergies and everyone with allergies causing delays. Concerning to be honest.

Beautiful food. Best steak I'd tasted in while. Great service too

We usually like to come to this place, but on our last visit the staff seemed a little bit unprofessional which made us feel uncomfortable.

Two elderly ladies went for lunch today, eventually we were asked to order, the pizza was tough , very difficult to cut with almost no filling, I had two anchovies on mine, when I was asked about the food I said it was very underwhelming. We were told that they make the best pizza and if we wanted to have a pizza sliced we should go to Pizza Hut. After waiting ages for the bill we again had to ask a passing waitress, I have never felt so invisible in my life.

We have been here twice now for drinks within 2 weeks. I have to say we will never go again. The manager is the rudest guy I have ever met. He tells his staff off in front of customers and has been rude to us on both occasions regarding where you sit. He likes to flex his muscles! He needs to get some training quickly. On both occasions the place was empty I wonder why!

This place came with a high expectations recommendation and it didn’t deliver - it over delivered - the staff were attentive yet understated, friendly and yet not over familiar. Absolutely lovely - we will return and your missing out if you haven’t been 💙

Lovely restaurant, great location

My favourite restaurant. Gorgeous food, beautiful restaurant and excellent staff

Disappointing . Waiter was rude and uninterested, food was dry and bland. Not very child friendly. We had better food at Pizza Express the next night!

Excellent food and impeccable service. Also so good with the kids. My favourite place to eat!

Not a great meal. Pizza very bland and luke warm. Salmon pasta dry and uninspiring. Had much better here in the past. Think go somewhere else next time.

Top service and atmosphere always. Our favourite venue in Knutsford. Thank you! Victoria and Michael x

Perfect afternoon! Florin was amazing!

Had a delicious meal to celebrate a friend’s birthday. Great food and service. We were looked after so well by our server, Lily. Thank you.

I don't normally write reviews but I owe it to the restaurant staff who have made a reunion with an old friend truly memorable. We were well-looked after from start to finish and there were 3-4 waiting staff attentively and eagerly serving us. You will never get that from any restaurant. One of us has very strict dietary requirements due to allergies, and they were very, and i mean very careful in taking orders and advising which food are indeed allergen free. It was never a bother to them even when being repeatedly asked and they were there to keep us happy and safe. The Manager was the one handling the allergen free food for extra care and safety. It was well and truly impeccable service. Every penny of the optional service charge well-earned and deserved. I can't thank you enough and shall be returning again soon. Service fully recommended!

Always excellent , reception staff , waiting staff and food always consistently good Waitress Ruby has served us on our last two visits and always goes over and above to make sure you are looked after. She is friendly as are all the staff Great ambience too. Last time on the terrace

Couldn't fault the service or food when visiting here Staff were polite and attentive and food was very tasty and well presented Not very disabled friendly unfortunately Came at lunch but bet it's a great ambiance in the evening

Fantastic food, welcoming staff (with thanks to Florin) and great ambiance. Highly recommend. We shall be retuning..

Better than Stockton Heath for food

Have been to their Didsbury establishment and thoroughly enjoyed it. This one didn't seem to want to follow suit though. The food was average at best, although the chicken dish saved this review as a whole as that was lovely. Portion size to price for the ravioli is extreme so at the least I would expect some flavour. Service wasn't bad but if they are selling themselves as upmarket, I would expect service to match. Torn now as I'm unsure if it was a one off, but will stick to my more local restaurant next time.

Thoroughly good food. Impeccable service from Ruby.

Thoroughly good food, and impeccable service from Ruby. The best bit was the crab ravioli, which was rather wonderful.

Food was ok, but quite overpriced. Carbonara was very watery.

For the prices I was very disappointed, food was not enjoyable it’s a shame because I normally love piccolino’s. Pasta wasn’t cooked right and flavourless, everything we got was very bland. service was very slow, extortionate for what we got.

Once again Hannah was an absolute dream behind the bar. Mixing my boyfriend and I our favourite cocktails!

We had such a lovely evening, Hannah was really wonderful.

My son took me here last Saturday and I’m so happy he did. The service from Piero was great the carbonara was great and the bartender hannah was very helpful.

My family took me here for mother’s day . None of us had eaten here before but reviews were good so we decided to go and glad to say we were not disappointed. Great food and drinks menu and a cozy atmosphere all counts for a great evening catching up over delicious food. My choice for starters was the calamari , followed by my favourite main in an Italian (but something I rarely have as I'm trying to loose a few pounds), namely pasta carbonara which was simply nothing short of exquisite. Dessert was a delicious Italian tiramisu which was a treat in itself. Great drink choices too. I enjoyed more than a few double pink gins. Service was flawless and management and staff very friendly. Hannah at the bar was great with My gin recommendations. Such a lovely girl with great hospitality skills. We will definitely make a return visit here.

Nice and bright lovely restaurant with excellent staff, everything beautifully laid out and clean you can tell they take pride in the restaurant. The pizzas were amazing and my mate loved his calzone. Can't wait to come back and try other dishes on the menu! 10/10

Me and my friend enjoyed our night so much! The food was so delicious and went perfectly with the wine recommended by Hannah. Lily was serving us and was so thoughtful, welcoming and friendly! All the staff were amazing. So lovely! We will definitely come back!

Possibly one of the nicest experiences of dining out I've ever had. The customer service was beyond fantastic - they go above and beyond for you. The wait staff are great, Hannah at the bar was great, the managers were great. The food was, dare I say it, probably the best I've had in a long time. Everything was cooked to perfection and really high quality and decent portion sizes as well. We will be returning. Thank you for making my husband and I's first date night in almost a year so memorable and special.

The food was absolutely amazing and the service received was top tier especially Hannah . They have a wonderful selection of food and drink, would love to go back.

Our first visit to Piccolino and it was such a pleasant surprise. The beautiful decor, friendly staff and amazing food were second to none. It was my birthday and the staff presented me with lovely dessert and all sang Happy Birthday . We will certainly be visiting again.

Ruby was was such a kind and welcoming waitress! She made the experience so pleasant and we definitely be back again :)

Hi ruby served us and was great

Great service by Florin - thank you for a wonderful night!

Amazing service and food! Did a beautiful birthday plate for my Mums 60th. Florin couldn’t do enough for us. Very attentive and friendly! First time coming here and will 100% come again.

Always love Gusto ,I always give a good review ( still waiting for my free pizza though 😉🤣🤣) it's a great place to meet for a quick bite or sit down and get dirty the food is very rich so be careful the scales will not lie about your visit ,money, well expect to pay between £10-20 per person add on a few drinks and it can get expensive ,however sometimes you just have to say sod it and tuc in my personal fav is slow cooked meatballs in a tomato sauce with grated Gran Moravia cheese ( oh my days 🤤🤤🤤)

Ruby out server was lovely! Very attentive and made sure we were.well looked afterb

Lovely RUBY is a great waitress, thank you for a nice meal with great service

Brilliant meal and service for a special occasion, thank you! Booked for a birthday meal for my wife and it was perfect, the team were so helpful.

Good food and great service from Ruby👍

We’ve been loving Wine Wednesday! Toni, Florin and Celia made us feel so welcome each time, their service and attention to detail is exemplary! The food and wines are exceptional, would highly recommend for a great evening!

Sorry I arrived about 9pm by myself on a Wednesday! I thought I'd order a beer whilst I was waiting and I'd have a glass of wine with my dinner - seemed sensible if not a little indulgent. I ordered a calzone. It normally takes a little time so what I wasn't expecting was my dinner to arrive before any of my drinks! But I soon realised why! Limp and almost tasteless would be a good description, the wine however was lovely. I do wonder had they known I was going a 'reki' for a meeting I have in a few months time for 15 people would it have been different? Ah well, we'll never know but Gusto a few doors down booked.

We popped in for a meal to celebrate my husband’s new job. The service we received from Florin was impeccable. Food was great, although some dishes slightly more pricey than you would expect.

Very polite and friendly staff making you welcome on entry. Service was good and the food excellent. Hannah serving us our drinks was great. Very comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. A great place to dine.

Loved the cosmo , Hannah was great and a lovely young lady we will be back.

hadn’t been to this branch before but great vibes and excellent drinks. the bartender ‘hannah’ was lovely and great fun! would come again 👍

Ruby was absolutely fantastic and professional she deserves a promotion. She is a credit to this company , Karen J I have never come across such a professional person

Misread pre order but overall great food

Excellent service and delicious food. We enjoyed our family meal. 3 kids really loved the experience. I would definitely bring my family back here. Thank you Florin and piccolino x

Superb food and drink. . Florin gave excellent service. Thank you.

Excellent food and service. We had a family meal for a 7th birthday - very accommodating staff. The food was very good - everyone finished!

The worst Caesar salad I’ve ever had. Mainly bread croutons tossed into lettuce leaves. Minimal Chicken and no dressing until I asked for some . There must have been a loaf of bread in there !!!

Great meal as usual , and great service from Florin - “we’ll be back !!”

We had a lovely meal with great food and superb service. We had two family members with allergies and the staff were meticulous in their checking of all the dishes that were brought out. We eat out frequently but their concern over the allergies was something very special. Highly recommended!

We had an amazing night out. Food was good but the drinks were great! Our night was made by Hannah at the bar who was friendly, knowledgeable and an all round star!

Florin and the team were lovely, we really enjoyed our food.

my husband already left a review but i just had To leave another one. We went for mother’s day and it was great. The kids menus is comprehensive and finally mini adult portions not junk food. The service, food, atmosphere, staff and overall experience was impeccable. I had the Tagliolini al tartufo OMG! delicious. seriously you have to try it. Hannah with the wine were excellent and so helpful

Excellent meal and atmosphere, rhe service was a little slow but that was due to it being mother's day and booked solidly throughout the day. But they were very attentive when they did come to the table.

A few months ago i visited piccolinos and my waiter- Liam- was absolutely brilliant, he made us laugh and absolutely made our night. I cannot wait to revisit and hope that Liam serves us again.

Great spot for drinks before continuing the night! Had a lovely espresso martini, made by Hannah who was a great bartender and really catered to our needs. Will be back soon!

Had a lovely night for mums birthday! Really nice and helpful staff, especially the bartender Hannah who made us some lovely drinks!

Lovely Sunday roast, generous portion sizes too with individual service of vegetables and extra gravy is a nice touch. Service was great, would definitely return.

Delicious Mother’s Day meal. Quick service for all our courses and drinks. My son thoroughly enjoyed his ribs and crab raviolis. I had the oysters and ox cheek. So tasty. My husband had calamari and sea bass. Thanks Ruby for great service. We don’t normally...

Me and my boyfriend had a lovely time here last night. The cocktails Hannah made for us were amazing! She gave us great recommendations too.

A great dining experience - especially the cocktails made by Hannah, she was so lovely! I would definitely recommend a visit.

Great meal out with the girls. Stunning service from the lovely bartender Hannah. Looking forward to returning for our next get together.

Florin was a fab server and we had such a lovely lunch here. They were super accommodating with my dairy allergy!

I am blown away by the incredible food and atmosphere and brilliant staff here. Yes the food is more on the expensive side but the experience is well worth it. I forgot the name of the name of the lady who greeted us (carly?) but she was lovely and took our jackets from us. Hanna behind the bar was super helpful with wine options but the star was ruby our waitress . She was so so helpful and took care of us so well through the night. 5 star service from all and everyone in the restaurant

Visited last Saturday, enjoyable evening , food excellent atmosphere inviting. Must make a special mention for Hannah behind the bar who was very helpful assisting me with my choice of gin - went for the pink star.

went last saturday, hannah was great!! got the ‘last mango in paris’ and it was delicious!!

Great food and staff. Really tasty options. Ruby our waitress was amazing and Hannah who served our drinks was great

The food was lovely and the service was outstanding. Thank you florin and hannah for looking after us so well. Highly recommend this gem. Thank you to all the staff. The atmosphere is fab well done!💗

ruby was so so lovely and amazing to us couldn’t have asked for better service! the salmon pasta was so good, fast and tasty

Great food & service !! Couldn’t fault it We all enjoyed every mouthful & we were on the special price lunch menu but still was excellent food

Our experience at Piccolino's Knutsford was simply exquisite. Under the guidance of the manager Gianluca, the restaurant exudes charm and sophistication, creating a memorable dining atmosphere. Piero, our server, provided attentive service, enhancing our overall experience. The ambiance was cozy, and the menu, offered generously portioned dishes bursting with remarkable flavors and presentation. What truly sets Piccolino's apart is its unwavering dedication to providing exceptional cuisine and service, making it a standout destination in Knutsford

Best rum old fashion i had in Knutsford

Not much I can say that is positive about this restaurant chain, the food is pretty bland but extortionately expensive. Our waiter was pleasant and courteous but the level of finesse is akin to a trattoria in Rome only the pricing is exceedingly more expensive. Won't be returning

The prices are high so you expect great food. However, a garlic bread starter was badly charred, Calzone pizza was lacking filling and a chicken main had few vegetables. Drinks prices are high. Overall poor value for money.

My husband and I met up with friends what a wonderful evening. The staff are so lovely, so friendly and it was so nice to be asked if everything was ok ( a few times ) The food was just so tasty and the presentation...

I’ve just arrived in knutsford for work and was having a look around for somewhere to try and wow what an amazing meal and friendly staff the crispy duck was 10/10 I would highly recommend this place

We had another fabulous night on the terrace for dinner! Piero advised on the wines to accompany our food, he is such a great guy with a real talent for wines, cocktails and people skills! Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves , as always !

Had an excellent lunch at picolino’s on Monday. The staff are super efficient and so friendly. We shared a starter, prawns with chilli and garlic butter on toasted sourdough. We had rib eye steak for our main course served with fíes and buttered greens. All...
