Piccolino Liverpool is located in a particularly grand building on Cook Street and is fronted by a small but perfectly-formed terrace. The impressive exterior seems appropriate because Piccolino always works well for fancy events, birthday parties and glamorous dates.

Part of the Individual Restaurants group, Piccolino is a smooth operation with good service and uncomplicated but enjoyable Italian food. In a business like this, perhaps you’d expect a bit of corner-cutting but Piccolino sources ingredients well and the food is always of a reliably high standard.

The quality of the produce makes a noticeable difference.
