★★★★☆ 4.0 Michael Brescia · Nov 2025

Excellent meals which included Shrimp with marinara sauce, Diver Scallops with linguine, and Chicken Parm with a side of Penne. Waitress was attentive and courteous. The only complaint from the table was that they felt it was a bit pricey but the food was excellent. As the old saying goes.... You get what you pay for!

A harsh realization… That it is no longer worth it to eat out. When you first step into Cafe Piccalo, you get the sense of a quaint, intimate Italian restaurant with leather bound menus and plastic candlelight. However, the longer you sit, the more you notice the mishmash of country/rock music and off-putting wall decor.

Absolutely loved this place! We had the night's special and the fish was so tender it melted in your mouth! The bread was so delicious and fresh. It reminded of my Nonna's homemade bread! Our waiter - he was great! Everyone was very nice. Great atmosphere! We definitely will be back!

The food at Cafe Piccolo was phenomenal. I had chicken scarbiello and my fiance had the scallops with crab stuffed ravioli. The parking lot was full, not an ideal set up. My sense is the people next door at the raw bar were parked there too. Service was a tad slow as we had to ask for drink refills. Again, food was fantastic 😊

We had the stuffed eggplant appetizer, burratta salad and chicken saltimboca and they were outstanding. Spencer was our server, the overall food, atmosphere and service was superb!
