Pedro was an awesome waiter, he absolutely added to the beautiful experience we had at Gino's. We have travelled from Australia and my daughter was desperate to eat at one of Gino's restaurants, so we drove 4.5 hours from loch lomond in Scotland, paid for a hotel room, just to go to Gino's!!! It was all worth it. Food was spectacular and service and ambience was excellent.

Welcome to Bramhall, one of Cheshire’s most exclusive locations. With its leafy village setting and close proximity to bustling Manchester, Bramhall is ideally placed for visitors.
Bramhall is home to dozens of bars, restaurants, and boutiques, and according to a study by Sheffield University, Bramhall is also home to the friendliest residents in the country. We like to believe this is because Bramhall locals have the area’s best Italian restaurant on their doorstep in the form of Piccolino – who wouldn’t feel friendly?!
Piccolino, an authentic Italian Restaurant, is a proud fixture of the Bramhall dining scene. Ideally situated on Moss Lane, Piccolino in Bramhall boasts an open kitchen, cocktail bar, and year-round outside terrace with a fully retractable roof, for the ultimate alfresco experience rain or shine!
