Piccolino in Sheffield

Location of the restaurant is super - people watching heaven 😄 But built into the menu prices, so you pay a few quid more per course than you might at a similar venue in the suburbs 😉 Highlights were the main courses myself and 2 companions were served - all very tasty 🙂 Starters and desserts were a little more hit and miss - nothing was below “nice”, but we agreed we have had more flavoursome versions of our dishes elsewhere 🥳 Chai served us and was good for a chat anytime he came to our table. Knows his movies! 🍿 Would return 🙂

Oliver and Antonio were incredible hosts. We had a wonderful time. The food was delicious - particularly the scallops!

The food and drink exceeded our expectations. The chateaubriand steak was so tender, and our waiter Chai was amazing. Overall a 10/10 experience.

Perfect food with perfect friends! This is the second time I tried this Italian restaurant😍love the vibe of it! Want to say a huge Thank you Chai! Chai is humorous and his service is perfect!

Lovely service, maybe portion size could’ve been better on the pasta i had but lovely staff, was served by someone named Oliver who provided excellent Service

I had a lovely meal in this beautiful restaurant. Thank you Oliver for the great service. The food was great. Especially the asparagus with ricotta. Super yum!

We had chai for our waiter 10/10 service. Top lad.

Lovely meal and wonderful service. Our host Chai was friendly and helpful with wine suggestions and pairings, and ensured we were happy with our food and drinks all throughout the meal.

Came for our daughters birthday, Great place! Fabulous food and our waiter Chai was a great host. Would definitely recommend and will be returning in the future!

Chai was lovely and attentive, thank you ☺️

Brilliant food and excellent staff - Antonio was very friendly and excellent service. Would definitely recommend!!

We arrived late in Sheffield and stumbled across this restaurant. We were very well received despite the time, after 9 p.m. The dishes are of good quality and the service is very pleasant (Chai listened to our requests). My wife enjoyed the lamb and I enjoyed the ravioli. If we come back to Sheffield we will definitely stop.

Great food and great atmosphere! Plenty of inside space and the glass section is a nice addition, with a selection of wines displayed and a view of the cherry blossom tree outside.

If you can avoid, do it. The food is ok but nothing much. Be careful of the extra charge they may try to add to your bill.

Brilliant food and brilliant service our server Chai was brilliant bringing a fun atmosphere to the table we will definitely be back !!!

Amazing food and atmosphere our waiter Chai was very attentive and helpful

More than one hour for the food which was nothing special taking in to account the price.

What a find!!!! We literally stumbled across this place by chance because as usual, we go somewhere and I'm searching for oysters. I called the restaurant to make sure oysters were in stock and there was zero problems with communication and getting through to the venue. We arrived midday and midweek so no reservations were needed. The venue was perfect! Just what I like to be seated in when dining. This restaurant is smart, fresh and clean. The staff members are perfectly dressed and exceptional service. The food was just divine!!! The oysters were so delicious, I had 3 more for my dessert! My partner doesn't really do fish and even went for the seared tuna, which he loved! This place gives San Carlo vibes! THANK YOU SO MUCH for doing an unexpected birthday dessert for my fella. I asked them to sing to him and make it as embarrassing as possible....they delivered haha!!!! We will 100% be making reservations again!!!!

Absolutley fabulous evening, delicious food,wonderful wonderful service. I cant wait to return.

Not only is the restaurant very well located (near the Millenium Gallery and Peace Garden) but the culinary offerings are delicious with a very friendly welcome and service. Far from the fast food pizzerias that abound in Sheffield.

Lovely welcoming staff. Excellent food and very efficient service. Second to none . Highly recommended. Steak was delicious. The restaurant is so modern , lovely and clean.

Amazing place to eat at our last night in Sheffield. High quality Italian, fresh pasta, good portions (I had the lasagna which was outstanding and tried some of my family’s equally awesome diavola pizza and truffle carpaccio + calamari antipasto) Impeccable service from Chia and the team. They were very accommodating with our 8-month-old baby, as well. Would definitely recommend.

5 Stars! We had a family meal and absolutely loved the experience, the food was amazing (especially the calamari) and the service was top quality. Special mention has to go to Chai who served our table, one of the best servers we have ever had and made the experience even more memorable 🙂

All I can say is, stellar!! My husband and I are foodies. We do not go out as I love to cook at home. We were in Sheffield for Easter to see our UK family as we are from United States. Our daughter, husband and granddaughter had some downtime with us and wanted a nice meal. How lucky am we to have Googled this restaurant. If you have the pleasure of going you will enjoy. If you are lucky you will get Chai as a waiter, I use that term loosely. He is above and beyond making the experience the best. Perfect night. Thank you.

Amazing food and great atmosphere. Had the roast which was amazing. Romana was particularly helpful and an excellent waitress so thankyou. Will revisit sheffield again.

This is such a great spot! The ambience is beautiful and very picturesque, the music was perfect, the members of staff were so welcoming, pleasant and kind. The food and drinks tasted amazing, and I had the best waiter who delivered excellent service- thank you Oliver.

To me, excellent customer service is when you are happy to pay,because you were made to feel good. Food was delicious as always but what made our visit extra special this time was our server, Oliver. Very friendly, helpful, great sense of humour. Thanks Oliver, good luck with your course 👍 😀

The service tonight was excellent and the food matched the service Our waiter gave 100% and went above and beyond when items became unavailable on the menu and suggested really good alternatives

The food and atmosphere didn’t disappoint. Lovely last minute impromptu meal booked for a group of 8. Slightly small portions given the prices.

Beautiful food ! We really enjoyed our afternoon here the other day. Staff attentive.

Had amazing time- staff even brought a sparkler and made birthday evening even more special. Thank you so much for hard work it was lovely to be there, and will be coming back.

Had a fabulous dinner, our server is Chai, his services was very good and friendly.

Me and my friends went for a birthday meal and it was gorgeous. The lasagna was INSANE, so rich and tasty!! And service was amazing, definitely will be going back again !

Me and my friends went to piccolinos for my birthday. Our waiter Chai was so so lovely, he brought our drinks and was so nice and made sure we were all ok. Really big thank you to all the staff tho, it was so heartwarming to see everyone singing with a cake for my birthday that my friends got. Absolutely gorgeous place. the atmosphere is amazing and so classy. 100% will be coming back. the food was a 10/10, we all got pastas and all the pasta were sooo fresh. the drinks were on point. I loved it!!

Had a brilliant dining experience at Piccolino recently — everything from the service to the food was spot on. Fabio and a new member of staff whose name unfortunately has escaped me, took excellent care of us, making sure we felt welcome and well looked after throughout the evening. His attention to detail and warm hospitality truly elevated the whole experience. We started with the tomato garlic bread, which was bursting with flavour, and followed it up with the Pollo al Tartufo — rich, creamy, and absolutely delicious. The cocktails were divine, perfectly mixed and beautifully presented — a real highlight of the night. One dish that deserves a special mention is the 25 layer Wagyu beef lasagna. It wasn’t particularly to my taste due to the pecorino I forgot to ask to be removed, however, the presentation was nothing short of phenomenal — definitely one of the best I’ve seen. Can’t wait to return. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a stylish Italian spot with top-tier service and unforgettable food.

The place is big and beautiful decorated. It has an elegant vibe. The food is fresh, well plated and made. All dishes are very delicious and the portion size is good. I would definitely recommend the desserts and salads. Service was the first time I visited extraordinary, but the second time I visited the service was a bit delayed but always professional and kind.

Lovely place. Truly tasty and tasteful dishes. Amazing, friendly staff. Can't recommend enough. Music could be quieter but otherwise perfect.

Had a great dinner here on 04/04, the food was delicious and the service was fantastic. The host and Chai were both very attentive and friendly - cocktails were great too. Would recommend for a nice meal within the city centre.

My visit to piccolino was excelent, food is just delicious, portions are just right, yes its expensive but you get what you payed for, our waitress Rosio was excelent, very attentive at all time, topping up our wine and making sure everything was perfect for me and my partner. We will defently be coming back.

Great food and service , reasonable prices , great selection , plenty of seating with lots of space, definitely going again.

Ramona was amazing tonight she was very helpful as we asked her a number of questions about the food and chose some amazing dishes for us

Romona was very attentive, knew the menu intimately, honest about the menu which was amazing.

Ramona was brilliant throughout ..... very tentative and professional

my waiter Chai was very very very good and he was funny and lovely❤️❤️

lovely lovely lovey lovely we had waiter CHAI and he was funny and funny. peace out piccolino 🙈❤️

my waiter chai was a very good waiter and his customer service was extremely good

My waiter called chai was amazing and great he was fun and brilliant service

We were there last week for a get-together with friends we hadn't seen in 30 years. We chose the restaurant because it was central to everyone and a good place to chat and reminisce about good times. The place is beautiful, the waiters are very polite and attentive. The food and service left something to be desired! Our food was delivered incorrectly and was mixed up for people who didn't eat pork, which was quite embarrassing. We didn't like the taste of the food. No one liked any of the dishes that came. It depends on taste, we didn't like them.

Visited on Mother’s Day so obviously busy, but no excuse. Really looking forward to the Linguine Al Gamberoni with vine ripened tomatoes, prawns, chilli and garlic butter. Waited 1.5 hours after arriving for food to arrive. Pasta was cooked nicely, however no tomatoes (not a single one) chilli and garlic not discernible and 2, yes 2, Prawns with one decorative shell-on prawn on top. £20 …….I don’t think so. Meagre portion of fries arrived after my daughter had eaten nearly all of her partially quite tough sirloin steak, ordered water (twice), but never arrived. Two chosen desserts weren’t available. I get that it’s a busy day but you’d have thought they’d have accounted for Mother’s Day being busy. Floor manager was good, and removed full cost of my meal (partial meal 🤣) and £21.95 ‘discretionary’ service charge which I would have declined to pay anyway. Lovely place, glitz and glamour etc, service mediocre, cooking abilities pretty dire, over-priced food and drinks. Will I return……… not this century! There are far far better places in Sheffield.

Visited today for the first time after wanting to go for quite some time. First impressions were lovely, friendly staff and lovely atmosphere. It was very busy being mothers day. The food was OK, but nothing to shout about in my view. My wife had the spaghetti carbanara which was OK, and I had a chicken pasta dish which again was OK, but nothing special and not particularly generous portions for the money. Italian is my wife's favourite so we've eaten at several. My wife's comment was the carbanara was a little bland. With pasta dishes were not particularly hot, and having waited an hour for our food was disappointing. Having said that, one of my daughters lasagne was very tasty! Staff were very nice and were apologetic for the wait time and we were were given a complimentary drink for the wait. Overall it was OK, but a bit disappointing having had high hopes having walked past so many times and it looking amazing. Having spent near enough £100 for 4 main courses and a couple of drinks, it was not the best experience we had hoped for, particularly on mothers day. To add to this, the bill came and the waitress said 'we've added on a tip for you if that's OK, or would you like me to remove it'. A little presumptuous I felt, particular given our experience. Needless to say we removed the tip and sadly won't be rushing back as a result.

Food was delicious and so were the cocktails We had a brilliant time, and they even brought out a birthday dessert for my best friend

Lovely dining experience. Mains were more filling as expected (quality was great). The deserts were exceptional. Chai and Rosie were excellent servers. Would recommend.

Best T bone of my life tell you the truth

It is one of the best itain restaurants I have been to and that saying something as the food was better at piccolino in Sheffield than when I visited Italy

Grazie mille Fabio for the hospitality.

Lovely meal with my wife. Good service, amazing wine list and menu choice. Would recommend!

I went last week. It's a Saturday night so it's crowded, took a while until our waiter comes to order. But the food are fantastic!! Especially the Panna cotta, I love the combination of milk flavour and passion fruit syrup on the side The waiter serving us is really friendly (although the surrounding is too loud I can't remember his name, sorry!!), staff here will be aware of your dietary requirements and allergies too I'm glad to celebrate my birthday here!

Firstly, the food was quality. We had the vegan pasta and pizza - it was lovely. However, the portion sizes were small and prices are high. Our meat eating party were more satisfied with their portions. The pizza should of had more sauce and the pasta should of been double the amount of pasta. The vegan portions should be bigger as it is less filling generally. All of us were dissatisfied with the chocolate mousse both vegan and non. Staff were very friendly. Atmosphere was great. If the portions were bigger and the desert was better it would be 5/5 all round and would come again.

Great dining experience! Celebrating a friend's birthday here today, thank you very much for Chai's service (I don't know if I wrote your name correctly). This good dining experience was 100% from him! Very enthusiastic, humorous, kindly recommending dishes, and thoughtfully arranged birthday surprises. Thank you for the birthday cake and birthday song ~ so sweet. Delicious Italian food and a great evening.

This restaurant was amazing and the food was great. The staff were very welcoming and made sure they catered to everyone’s needs . Chai ( hope I spelt it right )served us and did an amazing job . He was very friendly and made sure we were okay the whole night . I would highly recommend coming here . Love it here and I will be back

First time visiting Piccolino and the experience was rather disappointing. Food was alright, nothing special about it, probably wouldn’t want to order them again. However, the tiramisu was surprisingly delicious, very moist and reasonably sweet. Cocktails were good as well, fresh and creative. When it comes to service, it was actually awful. The server was always in a rush, they tried to take a menu from the table when we didn’t even stop ordering and were still looking at the menu. Very unfriendly and unprofessional service, especially how plates were literally “dropped” on the table. Probably not coming again.

Went here with the family for my daughter's birthday. When I booked, I was asked if it was for an occasion so I put it was for a birthday. But I'm not sure why because there was no difference in our table to anyone else's? We got to the restaurant for our time 6:15 but our table wasn't ready yet so we got a drink at the bar. I thought the drinks were expensive. £28 for 1 pint, 1 glass pinot grigio, 1 lemonade and 1 fruit juice. Our table was nice and the lady who served us was friendly. Food was 'nice' but not spectacular. I ordered a creamy chicken pasta dish which, even for my 'British palate' was massively under seasoned. Also, if you're going to charge £18.50 for a fairly basic dish like creamy chicken pasta, I kinda want it to be delicious. But this was just 'nice'. After the main course we ordered desserts, one of which was ice cream. They took ages to arrive and when they did the ice cream was quite melted so they had obviously been sat waiting. All in all it was a nice meal but I wouldn't rush back to pay those prices for that food.

Great evening, very attentive staff and food tasted great catering for a vegan, a veggie child and a meat eater. Food was hot and tasty and service quick and friendly. Great Italian singing too!

Absolutely phenomenal restaurant, never disappoints. Fabio and the team really looked after us and made sure everything was spot on during our meal. Grazie

The best restaurant in Sheffield

Food was lovely, but staff kept coming over all the time. We were waiting for a friend to arrive before we ordered, it got a bit annoying as they had spare tables

Absolutely lovely food and one of the best pizzas I ever had. Service was good , but It was too busy, so we waited quite a long time.

It was an ok meal, but there wasn't the wow factor you'd have expected for the price. The service wasn't great from our waitress. The food came out before our drinks, and she wasn't very attentive even when it got quieter and there were fewer people in. My partner really enjoyed her lasagna, and it was a good portion. I had the butternut squash ravioli, which I thought tasted a little bland and was quite a small portion. The decor inside the restaurant is very nice. It was very loud inside, though, which is a bit overwhelming if you want to be able to hear each other speak

I just spent a fabulous evening here with my husband, son and elderly mother. It had been quite a while since I last visited. The new decor is very tasteful, the music was just at the right level, the lighting was perfect, not too dark not too bright. Every single member of staff was friendly and accommodating and the food was delicious. We will be back

Amazing food the staff are brilliant and the atmosphere 👌 would definitely go back

After being turned away from Ego Mediterranean restaurant we found ourselves at the Door to Piccolino whereupon the staff were excellent and offered us a table for four. Excellent service food and ambience. So thank-you Ego for cancelling our reservation and forcing us to find this wonderful Italian restaurant.

the atmosphere is beautiful, the service was excellent and the food was even better. Ramona gave us a truly special service.

Came here for valentines and was served by Ricardo and Antonio. Absolutely impeccable service, incredibly tentative but not imposing. Ricardo recommended an excellent wine pairing for our meal and Antonio has a great energy that was up-lifting. Wonderful wine selection, fantastic raw fish starter and more importantly, the best cut of meat I have ever tasted. 100/10. Ricardo was great and so was the food. Grazzi!

Another gorgeous meal! Special thanks to Riky, Antonio and Fabio for their hospitality (& Limoncello!)

We had a wonderful early Valentine’s Day meal here!! We were served by the lovely Zsanett, who was so friendly and helpful and made the experience so nice! Will definitely be coming back.

Food was nice, service was lovely

Manager really went out his way to get us a seat whilst freezing, waiting for a train. All the staff were great and really friendly, Even though we only had a pizza, side and a few drinks, we were treated like royalty. We would highly recommend and we will definitely return for a full meal.

Brilliant atmosphere, great night out with my husband for my birthday. Stayed behind at the bar after our meal as the staff were such great fun.

A great night. Staff looked like they wanted to be there and we were well looked after. Very recommended.

Exceptional visit, very stylish and welcoming atmosphere first time we’ve been since it’s been refurbished fabulous Fabios very attentive, polite and bubbly host not just with us but witnessed he gave the same care to other customers too. Plenty of delightful options to choose from we came to celebrate a birthday. Generous portions, starters we had the calamari, which was light and nicely seasoned. Myself I enjoyed bruschetta gamberoni very flavourful and plenty of topping for the price. Moving onto mains, all were beautifully displayed carbonara nicely seasoned with crispy pancetta, sauce were rich and creamy. My partner had the ravioli di gigancio, it was awesome, fresh and vibrant with plenty of filling. Our other companion had the ox cheek, phenomenal the meat melted in your mouth cooked to perfection, bursting with flavour, fresh veg and creamy mash to compliment the dish we highly recommend as an alternative dish to pasta. Furthermore as a treat I decided to try the tiramisu martini, beautiful flavours very creamy and the coffee didn’t overpower the chocolate which was silky smooth. Just before leaving my partner were surprised with a complimentary dessert for his birthday, lovely touch and made even more special by Fabios singing happy birthday in Italian, certainly wouldn’t mind hearing him sing again thank you for your wonderful hospitality and look forward to coming back again.

Always impeccable service, you are treated like family here! Food is out of this world, the atmosphere is one of the best in Sheffield. Our server Roma was happy and amazing as always. There’s nothing I can fault. Please go and try if you haven’t and get the aranchini and truffle pasta!!!! 🍝 Thank you, thank you, thank you, as always you are all outstanding! ❤️

10/10 best restaurant in Sheffield 🙌

Very nice, authentic Italian with great service Chris was a fantastic waiter

Very good restaurant! I recommend

Service was perfect food was amazing love this place had a great night thanks to antonio and fabio

Started off as a nice experience with a good atmosphere. Tomato garlic bread was really nice and they made the effort to make a cocktail that wasn’t on the menu. Until the mains came… Quite literally the worst tagliatelle bolognese I have ever seen or had. The food was cold and the tagliatelle was uncooked and still hard. Hardly touched the food as it was a massive disappointment. Had the cheek to try and charge nearly £20 each for something that wasn’t as nice as a shop bought microwaveable ready meal. We didn’t initially want to complain about the food but it was unfair to pay for something of such poor quality. The waiter noticed we weren’t eating the food and asked what was wrong. After we explained he took the food away and asked if we wanted something else off the menu. By this point we were well past it so instead waited 20 minutes for a bill which never came until we asked again. They supplemented the 2 drinks due to the poor quality food but left the food on the bill. I am physically unable to comprehend why I am paying for the things that we didn’t enjoy and hardly even touched rather than the things we actually did? When we explained this to the waiter he became increasing more rude and ignorant before going over to the other side of the restaurant to talk about us with other staff members who we visibly saw looking and laughing. I am also struggling to understand what on gods green earth is funny about their absolutely ‘anging food. Never again thank you very much.

Great pornstar martinis by Emanual ! Delish 🕺

Very nice place, Antonio made us feel very welcome 🙏

Delicious dinner this evening, served by Chris who was very attentive and also a great welcome from the manager. Lovely flavours. Thank you

Celebrated my daughter’s 18th here! Absolutely brilliant set ice from start to finish. I can not thank Antonio enough for his hospitality. And fantastic hosting skills. 5 star service and food Thank you again.

It was a good evening. Service was pretty slow to take drinks, lots of faffing about with pre orders, cutlery for those with starters, different serving staff coming up and asking questions etc. Food was tasty but I would say small portions, expensive for what we got. This was a work meal, I am not sure I would choose it again. It was not a seamless evening which is what I would expect.

Went out to Piccolino for a few drinks with my friends and was seated at the bar. Bartender kyle made the whole experience!! gave us such amazing recommendations and made us feel at home. would love to come again

Excellent!!! Our very first visit to Piccolino Sheffield and what a fantastic warm welcome, delicious food and excellent first class service.

Celebrated a graduation here recently and the whole party throughly enjoyed. Gorgeous food and excellent service. Relaxed environment that didn’t rush us, but all food served in good time. Starters & mains were spot on! Sadly no room for pudding, hopefully next time!

Had a beautiful night out for my anniversary and the service was sensational! Ricardo met my every want and desire tonight and I could not be happier. Will definitely be coming back

Came by with my girlfriend and had a beautiful time! the waiters Ricardo and Chris made the experience unforgettable!! Never felt so well treated on a night out

Really love Chris. Like I think you could just go eat at this place for Chris. The food is minimal and healthy and tasty. Portions are substantial but not large. Thought that a few of the meals needed more salt but there’s salt and pepper on the tables for a reason. Kitchen staff looked super organised as well.

Pre theatre meal this evening was absolutely delicious. Would definitely recommend the Wagyu Lasagne. The best lasagne I've had even though I've been to Italy recently!! Food and service excellent and mindful of our time constraints due to visiting the theatre later.

Great place for great people. Piccolino is simply the best!

Pretty good. Food a tad expensive but overall not too much.
