Chester’s historic beauty and unique atmosphere make it one of the UK’s most popular places to visit. This ancient city is a must for history-lovers: walk the Roman walls following in the footsteps of Roman soldiers, and visit the largest Amphitheatre in Britain. It makes sense that with all that Roman history, Chester is also home to one of the area’s best Italian restaurants, Piccolino!
Piccolino, an authentic Italian Restaurant, is a proud fixture of the Chester dining scene. Located on Pepper Street, Piccolino in Chester boasts an open kitchen, cocktail bar, and wine boutique. Piccolino is also home to Chester’s very first Prosecco bar and alfresco terrace.
We visit the regions, meet the producers and are committed to sourcing the best quality ingredients. At Piccolino, 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.

While we're pleased to know our team was helpful and pleasant, we regret the issues with the food quality especially the undercooked and later burnt pizza, and the carbonara. Your comments have been shared with our kitchen team to ensure this doesn't happen again. We hope you'll give us another chance to provide the standard you expect and deserve. Piccolino Team

Great food and buzzy fun atmosphere. The restaurant is lovely. Our table wasn’t ready and had to wait at the bar which was ok but we waited some time and had to remind the staff that we were still waiting to be seated.
