It’s so refreshing to go to a small Italian restaurant quick does everything so well. Food, service, atmosphere, all top marks. And to top it all it’s such good value for money. I’ve only been twice but it is definitely my no 1 choice in Colchester.

Ate at this place around 2-3 weeks ago. The service was good and fast, and the staff were very polite. We were the last customers to come in before closing, but we were still taken care of, and the atmosphere was great. I had something off the specials menu. To me it wasn’t amazing, but was definitely not terrible. Maybe it’s because we were the final customers of the day. I will be going back to give them another chance, as the pricing was reasonable, and overall I had a good experience. The cocktails were very nice as well

Whilst looking for somewhere to eat in Colchester we scrolled upon Piccolo, a top-rated restaurant in the area. Service was friendly and the pizza okay, but we were served raw chicken for a Caesar Salad. When I pointed this out to the waiter I received a very unbothered “sorry”. I’d like to point out that we were the only people dining at the time, so no excuse to serve up something raw. Hugely disappointed and showed a lack of remorse for nearly making their customers seriously ill. Go to Ask Italian over the road instead!

I can’t speak more highly of this beautiful little family run restaurant. We were looking for a small independent Italian in Colchester (there for a day visit) they are usually much more authentic and warm/welcoming - Piccolo 42 exceeded all of our expectations, you almost feel like part of the family for the evening. We went in with 4 adults and 4 children aged 10 - 2. Our waiter was absolutely wonderful. Welcoming, amazing with the children, funny, and gave great advice on dishes. The food was absolutely delicious, and we would all go there again in a heartbeat, if we were local, we’d make it our go to restaurant! Our 8 year old daughter said that her Americana pizza was the ‘best pizza I’ve ever had’. Just beautiful, people, setting and food - couldn’t recommend this place any more!!

Worst restaurant in colchester. Food is frozen and bland. They could of been pizzas from a supermarket. Nothing there is authentic. Restaurant was empty. Dirty tables that were not cleaned, staff was on their phone chatting to each other. Dead silence with no atmosphere. Do not believe the reviews. They are paid for and fake.

No atmosphere, no nothing , yes we were there at 4pm, but they open at 12? , we left at 5, they then decided to put some Italian music on?? When we walked in, there was a table that had obviously just been vacated by 4 people... the mess was all still.there when we left !!!!!, the pizza?? Not Italian, not freshly made , it looked and tasted like the ones you get in tesco . This was for my sons birthday, we were SO Disappointed 😞

Went on a Sunday evening with my girl for a date, hadn't booked but when we turned up they had seats available upstairs. The atmosphere downstairs was incredible, but we were the only ones seated upstairs and it felt like we were in someone's house. The service was fast, however not good enough to compensate for the atmosphere. The garlic bread was stale and plain, the pasta was good however my girl got food poisoning from her seafood dish. When paying, we split the bill and I was overcharged £10 and we were made to discuss the difference between us. Will not be visiting again as there are better places for less money nearby.

We wanted pasta and so we found this authentic Italian restaurant. Lovely and welcoming. We had minestrone for starters. Probably the best minestrone I've ever had. My daughter loved it. She had the soup and then Spaghetti Bolognese. Excellent. Couldn't have hoped for better. Tables are not too close to each so you don't feel like you're eating with strangers.

Had our dinner booked for 4 as a late Valentine’s day on the 16/02/24. Booking went very smooth and the staff in there is normally very pleasant. The starters were very good and nothing to complain about, had garlic and cheese bread, garlic mushrooms and some other bits. Wine is average in my opinion for what you pay, but it’s like anywhere else. The biggest problem we had was with the main dish. I have ordered their steak which has been good in the past and they were kind enough to make me blue cheese sauce to go with the steak. The dish itself was not bad, the sauté potatoes were a bit too greasy for my own liking and the steak did not taste exactly fresh, but overall it was made with a decent standard. Unfortunately the salad with the steak had some unwanted extra protein in a shape of a wasp. Unfortunately I only noticed the bug nearing the end of my dish. When the waiter came in to collect our plates I showed him the beautiful dreaming creature that was wrapped between the leafs lying upside down moving its tiny legs. The waiter looked at it, looked at me, smirked and took the plates back without saying anything else. At this point in time me being a reasonable human just waited for a response from them. Two minutes later the same waiter came back with the smile on his face and the attitude like nothing ever happened and asked us if we want any desserts. At this point in time we politely declined, paid the full bill including the service charge and left the restaurant with not a single comment about what happened. It’s quite a disappointing experience for a family owned restaurant that has a decent reputation in our small town centre. Been to this place a few times now to change my opinion about it, but unfortunately never had a perfect experience to justify going back there ever again.

Rang and reserved a table as its usually busy .was greeted by a wonderful gentleman and taken to our table by the bar so we had a good view of the restaurant. Started with a glass of prosecco then italian bresoula rocket parmesan and then our main was calves liver with saute potatoes and veg with a bottle of red then desert chocolate mousse .we now have our favourite restaurant in Colchester. Grazie mille to all

My friend and I visited Piccolo on Friday, 2nd February and had an amazing evening. We were greeted very warmly and all throughout the evening, the staff were very attentive and friendly. The food was exceptional and, even though the restaurant was full and the tables fairly close together, the aesthetics were really good and we could still hear each other talking. Piccolo is now our favourite go-to restaurant and I would highly recommend this place if you want a good night out with amazing food.

Superb food but was disappointed to find a 12% service charge added to the bill. This seems to be a growing trend. I am always happy to leave a decent tip for the waiting staff if I have had good service but I don’t expect it to be automatically charged. It goes straight into the business account and there is no telling whether waiting staff ever see it.

Lovely inside if you're seated middle to front. There's also an upstairs I didn't see. Our dishes weren't very authentic. My friends seeafood linguine was absolutely swimming in cream sauce. Far too much. The bolognese was good but I don't think authentic. The character of the main waiter / front of house is abrupt, so off-putting for those who want the polite / welcoming approach. We don't care but others might. The other waiter was great but seemed overruled by the other one a lot which led to delayed delivery of desserts. All in all absolutely fine. Nice atmosphere inside.

Terrible experience all round. Save your money! Food and service not worth it at all. Very often it is randomly closed, I have found it closed during times when google says it is open twice. Taking this into account I tried to book a table and phone call wasn’t picked up many times. Giving the benefit of the doubt when I was called back much later, I booked a table. The restaurant seemed nice from the outside, but the staff lacked any kindness or professionalism whatsoever and simply talked to a table of what I assume were staff’s friends, ignoring our table and not even looking over to see us waiting to be served, and acting rudely when they did come over. Food was not enjoyable, below average in fact, the pasta dishes all tasted like frozen ready meals from Lidl. I usually love independent Italian restaurants and find them better than chains, but I can say whole heartedly I would rather go to Ask Italian across the street than return here again.

This is the first time I have been here, and it definitely won't be the last. It is just a delightful, authentic Italian restaurant, selling typical Italian food. It isn't fine dining - it is more of a trattoria, but the food is excellent - as is the service. This a small, intimate restaurant, and so perfectly suited to couples. It only has seating for about 30 people and so you do really need to book. We had olives, 2 x starter (octopus and grilled vegetables) 2 x pizza, bottle of sparkling water and 2 (large) bottles of Poretti for £65, which is excellent value for money in my book. What a great find - and thoroughly recommended.

Visited on a Friday night for a birthday celebration meal. Place is small and quaint so was pretty busy. Asked if there was any chance of a table for 2 without a booking and was able to be seated straight away. Staff were very welcoming, friendly and very helpful. One of the waiters explained the specials to us and clearly knew a lot about how the food was prepared. I even asked if I was able to have a starter from the specials as a main and they were happy to do so. Food was delicious, hot and good portions. Price was not bad at all considering we both had a starter, 2 special mains, a drink each and a shot of limoncello each (the only thing that was a bit excessively priced). Every waiter / member of staff smiled even if they weren't our assigned server. The overall atmosphere of the restaurant was very warm and cosy. Had a really lovely evening and every bite was a delight!

The menu provided choices for everyone and the food was tasty and good quality. The wine list isn't huge but there were no complaints with the white or red wine. Staff are really friendly and attentive, without feeling as if they are hovering. Four of us had starters and a main course each, with two desserts, four cocktails, and two bottles of wine for just under £200.

Service was a little haphazard as the young lad had only just started that day. Needs a bit of training to be more attentive to customers requirements. However no reflection on the food! Booking necessary for the evenings. I think it's the best Italian restaurant in Colchester. Daily specials are superb. I ate from that menu. Husband had prawn starter and pasta. Both rated highly.

Very average disappointing food, poor service, no sides- you cannot order sides of salads or veg or fries. Sat upstairs with a noisy group adjacent to us. This restaurant is not suitable for anyone with even mild disabilities. Stairs are challenging for able bodied people. Sat upstairs with no offer to sit downstairs. Only loos are upstairs as well. Promised baked alaska when booking over a month ago and again when they checked the booking the same day- no baked alaska available for a 7pm booking. Very disappointing and the whole group disliked the waiter's attitude. Will not be returning.

Dreadful meal and no idea where on earth the high scores are coming from. Embarassing - family left all of it. Seafood pasta (£30 something) contained prawns best suited in a Prawn cocktail, a very obviously cryogenically frozen mushy King prawn and clams which didn't taste fresh (and I wouldn't swallow). Didnt bother trying the rest. Tomato base sauce watery and bland. Meatballs watery and flavourless (caveat garlic), Penne pasta was same. Carbonara was marginally better. Scallops to start were OK. Service was friendly, but language barrier with servers felt a bit awkward. Worst of all, just shy of £135. Don't mind paying for a good meal and regulary eat out in Colchester / London. However l, wouldn't have paid £50 all in for what we had as it would have remained uneaten.
