Piccolina

Good pizza place ! Waiter is very friendly offering great service and generally very nice ambiance Pizza was delicious as expected thin and crispy *cannoli filling at the guest choice ( pistachio was excellent) Recommend

I was out walking looking for something to grab for lunch. I turned down the alley way to see a few restaurants, but my nose was greet with this pleasant aroma from Piccolina. I stepped inside and I was greeted immediately upon crossing the threshold. Everyone was so nice and attentive. I placed my order to go, a Margherita pizza that was freshly made to order. The food here is delicious and I can't wait to come back again to try something new.

Stopped here for lunch, quick and easy and some tasty pizza. The white pizza, cheese was a little over cooked and hard but otherwise good flavor.The outdoor seating is what caught our eye, enjoyed a nice outdoor lunch with limited noise and traffic. The service was fine once seated, a bit confusing upon arrival, no one to seat you and didn't see signage about open seating. Approached staff at the register but communication was limited.

Just popped into this place on a whim after a day of protesting in DC. Our server was incredibly friendly, and I really wish I had caught his name to give him a shoutout! I'm gluten-free, so I couldn't go for the tempting pizza, but I settled for their version of a Caesar salad with chicken, which unfortunately didn't impress me much as it lacked flavor. I thought I wouldn't be able to have dessert, but to my surprise, the almond olive oil cake was gluten-free, and it was delicious. The coffee was also top-notch. I'm looking forward to trying out their sister restaurant across the street next time, as I'm always on the lookout for new dining spots.

I don't get this place at all. I live at CityCenter and I've walked into this place twice and left immediately. I truly don't get the hype whatsoever. First off, the vibe is just cold and bland to me. As soon as I walk in, I'm just turned off. I thought this was a good place for grab and go, but both times I came here the little shelf was bare. I tried giving this place a shot twice, but I just don't get the vibe or concept whatsoever.

Feeling such exuberance after my first experience at Piccolina that I'm going to have to break my rule about not writing a review for a restaurant in the city I live in until I've had a second try. I organized a happy hour event for a nonprofit group I lead, and in looking for a woman-run business with a sustainability focus, I discovered Amy Brandwein and Piccolina - by the end of the night I was wondering how I've never heard of the restaurant before for the pure in general!First off, I have to express sincere appreciation for the service - when I arrived at the restaurant on a Wednesday evening shortly after 5, I was quickly greeted by the host, who seated me at exactly the table I wanted, which happened to be the best table in the restaurant. The server for my party was Vidal, and from the beginning, when he assured me that it was totally fine that I was expecting maybe 10ish people? and I don't know what time they're arriving? to when I paid my check at the end of the evening, he was fantastic. Flexible, attentive, friendly and just so darn nice AND cool - give this man a promotion!I arrived in time to get the happy hour menu, which meant I got a great price on the delicious Hugo spritz, as well as the option of the delicious piatto misto appetizer platter. I had a hungry crew so I only got to taste the fungi skewer, but it was super good. And many others in my party ordered delicious looking pizzas that I absolutely have to return for.The restaurant interior is elegant and minimalist - it's kind of got a bakery aesthetic while also projecting low-key romantic-casual restaurant vibes (that's why I'll be coming back with my partner). I'm so happy to have had a reason to discover Piccolina, definitely one of my new DC favorites!

In the heart of city center, it's a nice spot to drop by for a snack. My mom and I took our doggos on a day trip on my day off for some shopping and needed to brunch somewhere. We landed here for an outdoor meal. The service was good but the food was meh. I got the Arucola salad for myself. The dressing itself tasted great but there was too much of it. Got my mom a Puffy Egg on a Brioche - added on braised greens and crispy pancetta. They forgot the pancetta so they brought it out separately. She informed me the whole meal was lacking flavor, bland, and genuinely forgettable. I'd say we'd stop by here for the convenience but otherwise, there's really nothing to sing home about. The coffee was fine. My ice tea was fine as well.

Perfect view of NYC and Hudson River from the outdoor seating. Spacious shop. The pasties were delish. I honestly don't remember the coffee but good thing is I don't remember it being bad.

Came for an afternoon snack. Got the matcha latte, a slice of the lemon cake, and the veggie panini. Everything was delicious and kinda fancy! I loved it. It's an adorable place with some European charm, great to hang out at with some people and have a bite, although they do have larger dishes as well.

What a fun place for a healthy brunch while walking and shopping in the city center. Walk on the alley was pretty and the restaurant joint Alana's a great ambience of Italian vibe. Friendly staffs and service were good. See pic below for the menu items we've devoured. All were tasty, especially the breads & light dressings on salad. We were bummed their specialty donut dessert was sold out, perhaps another time. Hope you get to stop by and enjoy! Bon appetite!
