This charming restaurant with uplifting decor invites guests to taste authentic and generous Italian cuisine. At Piccolino, it all starts with a sampling of olive-oils from small Italian villages. Then come joyful antipasti (octopus carpaccio, “vitello tonnato”), top-notch pasta (a special mention for “fusili al ragù”), meat and fish prepared as in the south of Italy, and delicious “dolci” such as panettone in bread pudding style, a real treat for the tastebuds !
