A small Taste of Italy

Piccolo will make you want to learn Italian and ride a Vespa. This tiny gem just off the beaten path in Venice Beach (with only twelve tables) will happily surprise you with its excellent food, service, wine and atmosphere. The staff greets you with a warm Italian welcome, much like a dining experience in a small Italian village; you’ll find that the people here are sincerely interested in your hunger, your well-being and your life in general. At Piccolo they really make sure you’re taken care of, from the owner to the Sommelier, it is every person’s mission to guarantee that your night is nothing but extraordinary.

All pastas are house-made, including squid ink garganelli and mini ravioli richly stuffed with beef and kale. Duck prosciutto is also homemade and equally swoon-inducing. No matter what dish you order, be it the spinach and ricotta “naked ravioli” or the seared scallops over parmesan fondue, every bite is an explosion in your mouth.

Piccolo invites foodies, Venice locals, and all those celebrating to step into the warmth that is Piccolo. If you can’t afford the plane ticket to Italy, a visit here just might be the short vacation you need! For a superior dining experience in a very romantic spot, Piccolo cannot be beat. This cozy restaurant is perfect for a date and even more, an intimate conversation; truly, this place is a must, but keep in mind, as their website states, “make your reservation ahead of time, as the place is… piccolo.” For those who have not yet learned Italian – that means small.
