We spontaneously got a place - reservations are recommended. Seating is rather tight, please pay attention to the volume when the restaurant is full. More authentic Italian cuisine. Taken on its own, it tastes very good. Service friendly and accommodating.

This place was amazing! If you want good pasta, this is the place to go (unfortunately, i got too excited with the pasta and didn't get a chance to take a picture).My friend and I went for dinner on a Friday night so it did get pretty packed, but luckily we made reservation ahead of time so we were able to get seated. I will say it was a bit cramped inside, but couldn't be helped since it was a busy day.Overall, we loved everything we had and would definitely come back again to try some of their other pasta dishes.

The food is really good. The atmosphere is nice and our waiter Sebastian was really attentive and made great recommendations. The lobster linguini was so good and the tiramisu made table-side is a must for dessert. They had a fire playlist which created a nice atmosphere.

Small place but good authentic Italian food- not run of the mill same old Olive Garden stuff . . Slightly pricey though . Salad and the dip trio was good option for a vegetarian in our group . . Overall good quality and good tasting Italian .

Piccola Cucina Estiatorio is so delicious!! My family & I visited recently to celebrate mine, my sister's + my cousin's March birthdays and it was the best experience!! :-) The atmosphere in this little place is so cozy & warm. The staff are SO kind and made our experience all the better. We tried a number of dishes, but my favorite was my entrée - the Bucatini Cacio e Pepe (spicy & delicious)!! For starters, our group had the Arancino Catanese, the Parmigiana di Melanzane, the Burrata, and the Calamari (fried & grilled). The bread they brought to the table with our starters was lovely as well!! Further, the wine list was notably expansive & comprehensive (so many options).Lastly, I have to mention that this original location of the Piccola Cucina is located on Thompson Street in SoHo. From this spot, you are in close proximity to all of the magic that makes this New York City neighborhood so special. For example, right across the street from the restaurant, there are stunning views of One World Trade Center!! I cannot recommend this place enough - enjoy!!

Great pasta place with lots of different seafood options. Recommend the rigatoni with pesto and lobster. Place is small and gets really busy so recommend reservations.

I did not go to many places in this area, but this restaurant was really good! I did not know that the Italian food was thus great. I definitely want to visit here again. The servers were really kind and the atmosphere was nice. The most delicious one is the pasta with seafood. I am going to visit again if I go to the neighborhood.

Very very tasty food. There were four of us in the restaurant and the service was very attentive and friendly! Every time they poured more water and asked if everything was OK.We had the Tagliatelle Tartufo Nerl mot wild boar ragout and the Lasagne della mamma. There were also the Cannoli Siciliani and the Lemon Cheesecake. I recommend all dishes! Very authentic and very tasty.Price performance is great.

Love love love Piccola Cucina! Small and cute place, the food is amazing and the service even more. Would definitely recommend booking in advance as it can get busy. We tried the green tagliatelle with wild boar and truffle, and the trofie with squid and truffle and it was so good!

The service and attention from the servers and host was great, personally I think the food was a 6.5 -7/10 not too bad but had more expectations.

Piccola Cucina is much more than just a restaurant offering delicious food. Its atmosphere, its staff and its food take us on a trip to Italy and excite us. It is a surprising and wonderful find that is worth a visit for anyone who loves Italian desserts.
