Piccolos Italian restaurant in Sheffield

What a lovely little authentic restaurant We booked as it was near to a venue we were attending. All the staff were friendly and attentive, nothing was too much trouble for them. The food was extremely good, the bolognaise was one of the best we have tasted! The desserts were delicious and the coffees finished off a great dinning experience This restaurant goes above and beyond. It’s lovely to see an independent restaurant thriving in this current climate

Five friends for a gathering in a convenient location. The restaurant is not large and the decor and ambiance are relaxing. We appreciated the attentive staff and the food was spectacular, particularly the salmon. All the dishes were well presented. If we were wine aficionados, I think we could have appreciated the extensive menu, but the draft Peroni was our preference and it topped off an outstanding meal.

Everything was wonderful, the atmosphere, the staff, the food, the drink. I’ve been wanting to go for a long while and definitely would return soon.

What a fantastic Italian restaurant. I went with 4 friends to eat here and the food was absolutely delicious. The staff are super friendly and the whole experience was great. I highly recommend this little restaurant.

An amazing meal made even better by outstanding service! A lovely little restaurant with a real personal feel. The food was so fresh and tasted unreal, we shall definitely be returning and would recommend to everyone visiting Sheffield!

Fabulous little restaurant! Food always superb and the staff are so friendly and helpful!!! No trip to Sheffield is complete without a visit here!!

Brilliant food again! amazing service, the staff could not do enough for you. Very welcoming and nice atmosphere. Food quality excellent, highly recommended, if you want typical Italian dishes, wines and beers! See you soon!

Absolutely gorgeous food! We were visiting Sheffield for one day and came across this restaurant. So glad we did, the food was probably the best I’ve eaten in a long time, staff were attentive and helpful and price was spot for the quality and taste. If your in Sheffield , then pay this restaurant a visit, you won’t be disappointed.

Thoroughly enjoyable evening at this popular Italian restaurant. Good quality food and well looked after by the staff. Best tonook in advance if visiting at the weekend.

What an amazing meal and fantastic service in an authentic setting. The staff are all so welcoming and friendly. We enjoyed a wonderful meal. The garlic mushrooms were delicious!!! Highly recommend and will be coming back soon.

Haven’t been for a while . Still my favourite restaurant. Delicious food, very fresh and tasty. Staff are so welcoming and friendly. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough. Wonderful.

I booked this on the off chance , by searching for Italians via Google. But what an absolute find it turned out to be . The food was to die for and the service was 5* . Living in York we are lucky to have many Italian restaurants that we visit quite often . However this place tops them all . We are already planning our next trip to Sheffield to just visit this place . I have not one thing I can moan about, I never ever write reviews but this place was definitely worth one . See you again soon.

Great food attentive staff, small family run gem, well worth a visit, would definitely recommend this restaurant and will use it again when in Sheffield

As ever exceptional service, especially our waitress, who's name I took , but lost the bill with her name on it. We visited on evening of Friday 7th around 17:30pm and sat behind the reception, so should be easy to identify her. Began with a K, if this helps. Starters of Calamari and crab were superbly fresh and so tasty. We both had pasta dishes, a King Prawn , chilli one and a seafood, again both were thoroughly enjoyed. A nice crisp white wine to accompany. The ambience and friendly nature , yet thoroughly professional service is to be credited.

Called here one evening with no reservation after an appointment in Sheffield and made extremely welcome and relaxed as a solo diner. The food, wine and service were all first class with a fillet steak like no other! Excellent quality meat, perfectly cooked, superb starters and desserts......and tip-top wine! A good family business - well done 'Team Piccolos'!

Arrived on time ,table provided, staff pleasant, but, food uninspiring, in fact average, portions small and unimaginative, particularly the sharing starter we requested, particularly as comprised of two mixed dishes!. Gargantuan pizza was anything but, approx, standard nine (9) inch, nor was the topping layer a compensatory factor. Of the chicken dish, a small section, which we cut off - still raw, bloody, Risotto ,ok. The calzone was small, visually pleasant, but very wet / soggy pastry , with liquid oozing from crimped area when cut, filling similar, approaching a puree consistency, billed as Picante option, mine was not, although rough cut chilli was sprinkled on. I do agree with other reviews in terms of pricing, for level of quality , somewhat high. £27.95 per bottle for in my opinion a standard level Malbeck,??. We ate the food ,paid the bill, left a tip, - not waitress fault - said nothing to staff as my partner hates to complain, but when asked if all was well, smiled ,declined comment and left it at that. Overall very disappointing.

We visited Saturday 10th December and were in party of 10. The food was exceptional and the customer service was spot on, we felt very well looked after. Well done, we will return 😊❤️

Food and drink were absolutely lovely but there was unexpected expensive extras, would've been nice for the price to be agreed beforehand for the extras

Amazing food, friendly staff, we've celebrated quite a few important dates here so there's a lotta good memories!

Everything was absolutely amazing from the food down to the staff Staff are friendly and amazing Food was next level best food I've ever had glad I got recommended

All staff are very friendly, food was delicious & the place had a great atmosphere! Would recommend and would visit again

This undiscovered gem of a restaurant is awesome. Staff service and food quality are beyond compare!

We visited Jan 22 for my sisters 18th birthday All food is homemade and delicious, they also catered really well for my Mom who is Coeliac The garlic bread is a must :-) really nice selection of wines also and reasonable prices for the food and portions givenLovely staff also!!

Definitely not Italian. Dated menù very similar to every other so called "Italian restaurant" in sheffield. Came with a few friends,food was average not authentic but staff was friendly,decent dessert.

Best Italian restaurant in Sheffield. Been a few times over the last few years with my work colleagues and we wouldn’t go anywhere else. Great food and excellent staff.

We loved our visit at Piccolos. The place is tiny, but not lacking in nice, rustic ambiance. We tried pastas, pizzas, seafood, steaks and desserts and all were spot on. The staff was super attentive and friendly. It’s great to find a small, local family run restaurant like this, so different from all the mass market “Italian” eateries out there. We will be back.

Certainly atmospheric (in a fairly predictable way), and family style. But, standard pasta dishes that are nothing out of the ordinary for an Italian restaurant in Britain, and greatly over-priced.

Amazing food and amazing service.Simply put the quality of my overall experience at this restaurant this week has been one of the best that I can remember.I never leave reviews, I am only writing one as the staff were amongst the most friendly staff I have experienced and with the fact that the food was outstanding.I have seen some negative reviews on here that simply cannot be true, this little restaurant has a personal touch that just is not found elsewhere.Honestly if I still lived in Sheffield I would go every week.I recommend the prawn and avocado starter with fruits of the sea Linguine.Thanks again.Mr Wilson

My wife and I had last visited Piccolo's before we got married 14 years ago. We booked at the last minute as a reservation elsewhere was cancelled. I was so glad we came back here as the food and service was exactly as I had remembered it. The starters were plentiful without being too big, the steaks that we had were cooked to perfection with wonderful sauces and the desserts were also wonderful in size and taste. As a coeliac, I also had sufficient choices. Hopefully, it won't be 14 years before we return.

Lovely waitress! Service was brilliant. Cute little gem of a restaurant. The food was magnificent! A little expensive, but worth it :)

This was our first time in Sheffield as a family and we were delighted to find this amazing little Italian restaurant. The food and service were superb. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful.

Family of four had a wonderful evening with great food and wine; the service was excellent and covid precautions clearly in place. Recommendations from the staff for starters and main helped us to decide which of the delicious meals to chose from. Would definitely recommend and we shall be returning Thank you

My husband and I visited here last night and are so glad we did. I had to re-arrange the time of our booking and the chap on the phone was super helpful and accommodating. Having read some reviews we decided to share a starter and boy am I glad we did because it was huge!A giant chunk of ciabatta covered in melty mozzarella cheese and topped with super fresh tomatoes and greens. My husband had a vegetarian lasagna, he said it was full of flavour and tasted super fresh and bright. Not greasy or stodgy at all.I opted for the fillet steak, rare, it was cooked beautifully and served with skin on chunky potato fries and a big, dressed salad. Now I’m not usually a fan of desserts in Italian restaurants but I spotted a brownie on the menu and couldn’t resist. Warm and soft with the right amount of crunch on the edges, served with rich ice cream and fresh fruits. Amazing. I can’t wait to go back again and I’ve even been looking at the menu online today trying to decide what to try next. Also, every single member of staff we encountered were friendly and mega welcoming. Thanks for a lovely evening Piccolos!!

Staff are absolutely fantastic and the food is incredible. Couldn’t be more accommodating or friendly ! Always a joy!

We had dinner at Piccolos and we all ordered fish. Each dish was delicious and beautifully cooked. They were able to accommodate us despite the fact that there had been a mix up over the booking. Staff were friendly and helpful. The manager is not good at wearing his mask, it mainly covered his chin.

We tried to reserve a table but after not being able to, we decided to walk in and were kindly accommodated.We had prawns and olives with bread for starters, which were delicious and full of flavour. I chose the seafood pasta and my partner chose lasagna, we were also eager to get some chips. The food was tremendous, and safe to say, too much to manage!!!!Absolutely incredible service from the lovely staff there.We live just round the corner and will definetely be coming back more often!!Thank you again for the wonderful service and delicious food. Highly recommend!

Food was delicious, and staff were so friendly. I recommend the lasagna and the mango and passionfruit ice cream cheesecake. They were both delicious!

Fantastic authentic bruschetta and lasagna! Visiting the UK and had had enough fish and chips, so checked out this cozy Italian place. Pleasant service and thoughtful recommendations! Big glasses of wine too.

Amazing place! My partner and I have been coming here to celebrate Valentines and our anniversary for the past 5 years. We love it! The food is always gorgeous and the staff are absolutely lovely. We live in Manchester and travel to Sheffield to eat here. Our visit last night was as perfect as ever and the waitress had us leaving in stitches - thank you!

Very welcoming, friendly and attentive hosts set the scene for a lovely evening at this cosy family owned restaurant. The food was fresh, hearty and delicious. Would highly recommend.

(not to be confused with Piccolinos in the city centre)About 10 minutes’ walk from the city centre, with a very unprepossessing frontage, but don’t be put off - it’s wonderful! Small and cosy restaurant, but also has a room upstairs. Felt really Covid safe - only place we went that week that took our temperatures. Very friendly staff. We had salad caprese and prawn cocktail to start with - both exemplary and delicious, with fully-ripe tomatoes and avocado and juicy prawns. I had a delicious dish of chicken rigatoni al forno and my partner had pollo a la creme, also yummy. The tiramisu was also spot on. Couldn't fault anything.

Very impressed with this place, exceptional food, very good service, we really couldn’t fault this place at all, great vibe, loads of space in the booths, spot on service and truly amazing food. Can’t wait to come back.

Great atmosphere, feels like you are inside someone's house, very comfortable and cosy. Staff was very friendly as well.

Me and my partner have been coming to piccolos for a few years now and everytime we visit the food is brilliant and the service is amazing. We have tried many italians and none have come close to piccolos. We have tried many meals on the menu, always have a starter and a main and enjoy every mouthful! If you are in Sheffield this is definitely the place to visit. Professional, warm and friendly everytime we go. Try it, you won't be disappointed.

We visited for the first time yesterday and were not disappointed. Such amazing, tasty food, warm and welcoming service and a lovely atmosphere. Really did feel like we were on holiday!

The most authentic Italian in Sheffield, every dish is an explosion of flavours and all the staff are the warmest friendliest kindest hosts we have come across. First place I would recommend to anyone visiting Sheffield! :)

Such authenticity place, very welcoming. The food was unbelievable! And the service was immaculate. Could not recommend more. And would definitely come back.

We booked in advance for our first family meal out in almost a year. There is plenty of space as the tables are now distanced and COVID secure measures in place.The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming and for a couple of hours you can pretend you’re in Rome enjoying time away from the real life of lockdown and work. We were celebrating eldest son finishing his a levels so we went all out and had three courses and my husband enjoyed the Barolo too.Wonderful place and we will be back again. Thank you.

Always super friendly, always fantastic food, never disappointed! So happy to be able to return to Piccollos after lockdown.

After a year stuck at home, we decided our first meal out should be at Piccolos. We booked in advance just to be sure.We were not disappointed, the restaurant had social distanced tables and hand sanitiser as you arrived.The food was just as amazing as we had remembered. The staff friendly and helpful.We recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys home-cooked Italian food in a lovely atmosphere.

Wonderful food, authentic restaurant, attentive and friendly staff and the owner is adorable! We have been coming here for years with our family. Highly recommend.

It's been a long time coming being able to go out for a meal, the meal was absolutely wonderful worth the wait, and the service was first class and quick

This is a wonderful small italian restaurant. The food is delicious, staff cannot do enough to assist. starters the avacado gamberetti plus the funghi agnlio pluspan fried seabass plus margherta pizza deliciousmost dishes are wonderfully cooked ...A must try if you like italian food ... !!!

I can’t speak highly enough of this place. Definitely my favourite Italian! The staff are so friendly and the food is always fantastic. It may not be the biggest place to eat in Sheffield but it’s definitely the best!

Highly recommended good food and really nice staff, excellent vegetarian selection aswell and felt very safe during the visit at a time of COVID

100%, couldn’t fault this restaurant! The food was stunning and the staff was so lovely! Although they didn’t know about my partners birthday, we had a wonderful time celebrating and can’t wait to come back soon! ❤️ Thanks so much! Ben & Ruth xx

Mi pareja y yo reservamos y fuimos a este restaurante el 4 al 20 de septiembre para cenar. Siempre reviso las estrellas y las críticas en TripAdvisor, pero este restaurante no está cerca de 4. 5 inicio. Los calamares no estaban frescos y cocidos en aceite viejo, las aceitunas estaban demasiado saladas. El vino que me ofrecieron sabía a almíbar mezclado con agua. Las pizzas no estaban cerca de la pizza italiana, pequeñas y saladas, y la base era un helado comprado en el supermercado. No recomiendo este lugar a nadie.

Amazing food with brilliant staff! All the food is so fresh and we have never once been disappointed by anything we have tried! This is our go-to restaurant and always will be!

Es un restaurante pequeño, con un ambiente agradable. Nos sentamos arriba en una habitación con solo otra mesa (debido a las restricciones de Covid 19) y esto se sintió perfectamente seguro. Cuando llegamos nos recibieron calurosamente, y el servicio mantuvo el nivel adecuado de familiaridad sin exagerar en todo momento.La comida estuvo muy buena. El Calzone vegetal era excelente, relleno con una mezcla de berenjena y otras verduras. Estuvieron felices de personalizarlo, sacando el chile, y pudieron hacerlo ya que las comidas se cocinan desde cero. ¡La mejor comida que este vegetariano ha tenido en un restaurante durante mucho tiempo! Las otras comidas, pizza y un plato de pasta con pollo, también eran muy sabrosas y abundantes.Con bebidas, la factura por persona era de 14, lo cual es una buena relación calidad-precio. Sin duda volveremos la próxima vez que visitemos Sheffield.

One of my favourite restaurants in Sheffield. Since living here for four years this is my number one pick for anniversaries, birthdays and my graduation! Food is sublime, there is always a warm welcome and excellent wine options.

Lovely staff - friendly and welcoming. Lovely food - we tried a full selection. We will definitely be back.

Food was a 3 everything else was a 5. Pizza wasn’t very warm, wrong garlic bread and we had to remind them for the salad.

We visited the restaurant with our 8 year old and we all loved the food...the tomato garlic bread to start was great and they even offered to do a small pasta for our daughter... can’t wait to return!!

Booked in several hours before on a busy saturday night which was great. Greeted upon arrival by very friendly staff, who were a fantastic all evening. Menu has great variety for all tastes, portion sizes above what I expected. Food was perfect all night, with staff even coming over to pour our Prosecco, nice touch. Very fairly priced too, great restaurant which I’d recommend trying!

Visited as a couple and were a walk in table. Our drinks order taken straight away and the wine came over quickly. After ordering food the starters came out quickly. It took a while for the waiter to come and take away our starters, once he did the mains came out fairly quickly. After this we were sat with empty plates for quite a while, at least 15 mins. The staff were running about as if they were super busy, whilst there were a fair amount of tables in there were also loads of members of staff on the floor (at least 10 including managers). We had desert and asked for the bill which was forgotten about and had to ask for again. I think maybe the staff just needed to be a bit better organised. Food was fab just let down by these issues, which should be ironed out in a premium restaurant to justify charging higher prices.

1st time we have visited piccolos and can i say it wont be the last,great food(steak to die for) lovely atmosphere and all staff really helpful,keep up the good work will be back soon!!!

went went as a family to Piiccolos to celabrate my grandaughters 21st birthday ,right from entering this restaurant we got a very warm wecome,very friendly & attentive staff ,service was excellant,and so was the food .would highly recommend this restauarant to all .big thankyou to all at Piccolos

The garlic bread was tasty and the steak cooked perfectly added with attentive staff excellent service.

Con mi esposo hemos ido 3 veces a este restaurante y es realmente delicioso, la comida es muy rica, se siente Italia dentro, vale totalmente el costo de cada plato. Además la atención es excelente. Recomendado al 100%

Third visit and just confirms what a great place, "Proper" Italian, tables close together, noisy,Lovely waitresses, Food really good and seems authentic, service good even though packed at seven on a Saturday evening

We went for a group meal in December and enjoyed the food so much I returned over the weekend for another visit. Gorgeous food, lovely staff and will definitely be returning.

Has the best Italian garlic bread that I ever tasted in my life, they have a unique way of making it. The staff there are super friendly and funny, excellent service. Highly recommend going there.

The food here is excellent and with a touch of being different from the run-of-the-mill. The Pollo Gamberetti, with a hint of Pernod, was excellent. The service is very friendly and helpful, but not over-bearing. The staff obviously know that they produce a good product! It is not the cheapest Italian restaurant, but it is worth every penny.

On Saturday 14th December we were invited to a firms Christmas dinner at your restaurant. The organiser asked that we ate in the conservatory and it would be quieter - it was not.

Lovely staff, gorgeous food and great atmosphere. We were made to feel really welcome and had a good chat to the owner about the election. Nice one comrades!

Great food, the calzone is the best I have ever tasted, packed full of taste. A nice atmosphere, and pleasant staff.

18/11/2019 - returned after 2 years last night. Still the same wonderful food and the attentive service. It’s a shame we don’t visit Sheffield more often. One of the best restaurants for good good without the stuffiness that some bring. They seem to genuinely care and take pride. Calamari and gnocchi superb.

Visited as was passing by.i would Highly recommend. Garlic bread was the best I've had in a long time. Calzone was amazing. We'll be back soon

I have visited this restaurant on numerous occasions. It never fails to disappoint. The food is so fresh, so tasty and so well cooked. The staff are lovely and always make you feel very welcome.

We'd been wanting to visit this restaurant for a couple of years and finally made it. Thankfully it was everything we hoped it would be! The staff are really friendly, and down-to-Earth so we immediately felt at ease.

I’ve seen the restaurant many times walking past and finally came with my Mum. Absolutely lovely, the staff were so delightful, helpful and kind, the food was very homey and filling without being massive portions. I recommend the bruschetta, it’s amaaaazing :)

The food was incredible, the atmosphere was so warm and cosy and the service was excellent! Will definitely be back!

I went to sheffield and I and my wife were recommended for this restaurant. Very good Italian food.. I ate a pizza and my wife a salad very fresh and really good service and food!!

Comida increíble Fantástico servicio. Un sentimiento cálido y acogedor. No había nada de qué quejarse en este hermoso y pequeño tesoro de un restaurante. Nos revisaron varias veces y esperamos de pies y manos. La comida era hermosa. No hay razón para no comer aquí siempre que puedas.

Les plats sont copieux et excellents, le service est attentif. Le restaurant possède 2 salles, celle du bas est très animée, celle du haut beaucoup plus calme. Le week-end il vaut mieux réserver sa table.

Wir haben im Piccolo einen wunderbaren Abend erleben dürfen! Gediegene und auf den Punkt gebrachte Italienische Küche, nicht zu vergessen eine aufmerksame und gastfreundliche Bedienung.

Un restaurante muy lindo, atención excelente y la comida deliciosa. En mi siguiente visita a Sheffield no dudaré en ir nuevamente a Piccolos.

Greeted and attended to by Lovely friendly staff, and served delicious food, very highly recommended.

We fell upon this gem whilst searching for a meal on our weekend trip. We went on spec, were greeted warmly on arrival, and seated upstairs in pleasant surroundings. Menu offerings were good, standard Italian fayre and the wine/drink list was adequate. Our food was delicious and well prepared. The restaurant seems like a family run business serving authentic Italian cuisine and providing a good personal service. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Me and my better half always try to make a monthly visit to this little gem and it never disappoints. What ever you order make sure you save room for a garlic bread, mind blowing. Keep up the good works guys James

On Monday 9th Sept this small restaurant virtually full. To my relief, the lovely waitress accommodated me. It had a cosy, informal atmosphere - wonderfully welcoming for a lone diner.

At 7pm on a Monday evening (9th Sept) I was surprised to find this small restaurant virtually full; but that's indicative of its local popularity. This was my first stay in Sheffield, and I had singled this place out as somewhere to try. Much to my relief, the lovely waitress and attentive owner were able to accommodate me.

I dine at this restaurant regularly because it is the best there is. Always top quality with brilliant service . It is a fair treat

Great little restaurant we visited while in Sheffield last week. Really nice atmosphere. It was pretty busy but service excellent

Came here with 3 of my piano students. Everything was perfect - food, service, ambience. Sorry I didn't leave a tip - had no cash on me. Would definitely recommend.

A lovely little Italian independent restaurant. Service was excellent and friendly throughout, food was great too. We all had pastas where were great. Recommended

We would once again like to thank Giuseppe and his staff, for a wonderful evening. Tonight was our 6th wedding anniversary, and we have been to piccolino’s in Sheffield for everyone of them. The staff the service the food and drink, and most important of all the atmosphere the staff create, is second to none. Thank you all again for a wonderful evening, x

Came here with my friend for dinner and had the bottle of house white as soon as we got there which was yum! The waitress, Justine, was very nice and made the evening perfect. We had starters and mains and couldn’t fault a single thing was absolutely delicious!!! Couldn’t have asked for better food or better service, will definitely be coming here again as soon as possible, thank you :))

Everytime we go anywhere else we use this restaurant as the bench mark and honestly few come close.

intimate, cosy, friendly, great food & popular with locals in the know - the best recommendation? West Street-Glossop Road opposite Boots. Only open evenings. Better than the chain restaurants. Recommended.
