Piccolo Buco Roma - set mere steps from Rome's famed Trevi Fountain - is where Cooper's Hawk Founder, Tim McEnery, first discovered Chef Luca Issa and his wonderful pizza. The ingredients were deceptively simple: creamy, indulgent mozzarella mingled with a bright and bold tomato sauce. But it was the extraordinary, tall crust - crisp on the outside yet cloud-like at the center - that won his heart. He couldn't wait to introduce America to a pizza this special!

We ordered the honey ricotta and Brussels sprouts for sharing. The honey ricotta was exceptional. The Brussels sprouts were very good but different with the gongozal rather than balsamic like most places. The pizzas were awesome as well. We all ordered wine flights which was fun as well as delicious. Our server was great amd really worked well with our group. I highly recommend this place especially if you are looking for something a little bit different. Ours was a girls night out with myself and my daughters.
