    The Friday set menu at a discounted price is very good value. We do not eat meat and there was a good choice of dishes on the set menu. 3 courses and a drink for £30 per head is fantastic for a place like Piccolinos. Service was friendly and efficient and together with well executed dishes using quality ingredients. We will be returning soon.

    I arrived on time for my booking . I stood waiting for front of house to be acknowledged for 10 minutes. I was completely ignored. Then I was told a table needed to be cleared which Took several more minutes.. the food was good. The waitress was very good. But the front of house service was poor. I was also reported as a no-show. A member of staff said they were busy and had tried to cancel my booking but they couldn’t override the computer system.

    Our server was so nice she was super friendly and made the experience much better. The man who greeted us at the desk was a little cold and didn’t offer to take our coats as we saw other servers doing for different tables.
