Piccolo Eatery

You open their door (even at 10am when they’ve just opened on a Saturday), and that succulent aroma hits your nose. Wow! This is home cooking. You then walk back though a small grocery area (all of which you come to realize the chef uses in his own cooking), and there is chef Nino, behind what appears to be a simple deli counter. Simple? Not so fast. This restaurant is the epitome of Italian cooking. Every ingredient is of high quality, and every dish comes together with a symmetry of effect that is kinda magical. Example. His hot egg and bell pepper sandwich. The egg is light and fluffy. The bread has just enough crust so that it stays together and doesn’t tear into a mess, but is soft enough with the butter toasted into the bread that it’s not hard to chew. The roasted bell pepper

Nino is a master of fine sandwiches. We walked in Saturday afternoon and enjoyed some amazing soup topped with olive oil, a freshly made Italian sandwich with a great balsamic glaze and a variety of fine meats. Great service and a fine Italian eatery.

Best sandwiches in Lititz, and if you ask with a smile, they will give you espresso with a meal. Made my day. Great service, classic Italian vibe. Thank you Piccolo

I’m not sure where to begin. My family and I first came here one day for lunch. We had been so curious about this little hole in the wall for quite some time. Lunch sandwiches were delicious but it left us wanting more. The staff told us that Chefs Nino and Sara hosted date nights for dinner, a multiple course, surprise menu that was sure not to disappoint. Why wouldn’t we sign up? So we did! The waiting list is long so it was a few months before I finally got to go. My husband became ill but my young teenager and I went together and we practically licked our plates clean. What an amazing 3 hour experience. Every dish had a story and a history. Chef Nino is full of wonderful laughs with his rich Italian accent. As an Italian, I felt right at home again in the middle of Lancaster County! I

Excellent customer service with amazingly fresh and flavorful food and an unbelievable price. I can’t recommend this place enough. Thank you to the staff at piccolo eatery for a great meal! 🫶
