Liverpool is, of course, the city famed for being the birthplace of The Beatles, but there’s so much more to the city than just that. Liverpool boasts stunning architecture, vibrant nightlife, and the buzzing district of Alberts Dock which is packed with galleries, museums, bars and restaurants. Liverpool is also a foodie’s paradise with plenty of unique dining options around the city.
Piccolino, an authentic Italian Restaurant, is a proud fixture of the Liverpool dining scene. Piccolino is located on Cook Street and boasts an open kitchen and a small but perfectly formed alfresco terrace.
Italy’s diverse cuisine is the heart and soul of Piccolino. We visit the regions, meet the producers and are committed to sourcing the best quality ingredients. Our passion for provenance is at the forefront of our menu, which incorporates the best and freshest seasonal produce, Italian cheeses, meat and seafood, all delivering pure classic Italian flavours.

    Very didsppointed. Nice restaurant but didnt have 3 dishes on the menu and unable to make requested cocktail. Also knew it was my mum’s birthday which wasn’t recognised although others on the restaurant were. Also beware so called smoked salmon pasta isn’t - it’s just dried up salmon!

    Staff very attentive on the day and food absolutely excellent. I was entertaining a client and he had a wonderful time so that was wonderful too! I was a bit disappointed I could not have what I wanted on the menu due to there being no Wagyu beef but a very minor thing, all the food I had was very high quality and good value for money consdiering how well done it was. There was a low noise level and a good ambience, but I think we had some excitable children in the restaurant towards the end after we had finished dinner - not the restauarants fault.... control your kids people! I would love to go back again.

    Nothing at all like the picolino in Manchester. Very tired looking restaurant and old fashioned. We had a table for 2 but were practically on top of a table of 20 at a Xmas meal so couldn’t hear our own conversation as the other table were so noisey. Lighting was terrible as well, had a spot light in my face which I did ask them to redirect it but didn’t really improve at all. Asked to move but they couldn’t move us for half an hour so stayed where we were. Food was average ordered the chateaubriand which was absolutely ridiculous as the price was £80 for 2 and all we received was 2 and a half very small slices of steak, definitely not good value for money and will not be returning , very disappointing.

    We’re very sorry to hear that your visit did not meet your expectations. Being a Saturday during the festive season, our restaurant is especially busy with Christmas parties, which can result in a livelier atmosphere than usual. We apologize if this impacted your ability to enjoy a quieter dining experience and we regret that the interior did not meet your preferences. We understand your concerns about the lighting and seating arrangements, and we’re sorry we couldn’t relocate you more promptly. Your feedback on the food is also concerning. We strive to deliver great value and exceptional quality, and it’s disappointing to hear that this fell short during your visit. Your comments have been shared with our team to address these issues and improve where possible.

    I booked a table for 830 and didn’t get seated until 910. Waiting for a table downstairs to become available but I did put on my reservation wheelchair access so I think it’s appalling I waited that long for a table. If people were overstaying their reservation they should have got asked to move to the bar
    Piccolino - LiverpoolResponded on 27 November 2024
    Thank you for your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the wait you experienced on your recent visit. It was an exceptionally busy Saturday, and several guests had requested tables downstairs, where seating is limited. When you arrived, our team did inform you there was a wait, but we understand and regret that this fell short of your expectations, especially given your request for wheelchair-accessible seating. We always strive to accommodate all our guests, and in situations where tables are delayed, we do our best to manage the flow while ensuring everyone feels welcomed. We will review our processes to better handle similar situations in the future and make adjustments where needed. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
