Piccola Cucina

The name says it all... this kitchen probably has a total of 8m2 ... but the working space for the cooks is more in the range of 4m2 😳!! These 4!! guys are real magicians !! Food was delicious and staff friendly. Make sure you come early or make a reservation because there’s only 30 seats. Definitely try this place if you’re in Manhattan

Food here was amazing. The ravioli a ragu was amazing. It was literally one of the best pastas I ever had anywhere I've been. Make sure you order the canolli. It was also the best I ever had. There's very little room, so make a reservation and be ready to be touching the party you come with. The servers are really nice and funny. I would really recommend this place.

I made reservations at this restaurant a couple of weeks in advance and I am glad I did! I didn't realize how small the restaurant actually is. It was probably no larger than my entire living room! There about 8 tables, some pushed together, some not depending on the arrangement of diners. Very cozy! We came here because of the Yelp and Tripadvisor reviews and were not disappointed! We were celebrating my future son-in-law's birthday and I wanted a really nice restaurant that served delicious food. I had the Cavatelli ai Funghi Porcini (Cavatelli with Porcini Mushrooms) with the gluten-free pasta. It was amazing! Even my non-gluten free family said it was delicious! Everyone was very happy with their meal selection. The service was spot-on and everyone helped each other out. I would return in a heartbeat!

I rate their food 5/5. And in consideration of the lunch special and its very reasonable price, I’d give this place an exceptional 6/5! One rarely finds good seafood in the United States of No Fresh Food (including this terribly expensive city), but Piccola Cucina is an exception. Yes, it can’t match the very best in Italy but it’s close to the very good ones, especially in consideration of its humble price. The service is also outstanding. I have always been very pleased with the waiters and waitresses. To be honest I was displeased once because the waiter seated fitst two ladies who came after me. But upon my complaint, the waiter made multiple attempts to make it right for me. Impressed by his great attitude, I ended up leaving a large tip and will definitely be coming back again and again in the years to come.
