Piccolo at 42 North Hill

Had an absolutely wonderful meal with excellent service. The food was excellent. Beautifully cooked tuna special. Delicious Italian wine. Such a lovely atmosphere.

Lovely inside if you're seated middle to front. There's also an upstairs I didn't see. Our dishes weren't very authentic. My friends seeafood linguine was absolutely swimming in cream sauce. Far too much. The bolognese was good but I don't think authentic. The character of the main waiter / front of house is abrupt, so off-putting for those who want the polite / welcoming approach. We don't care but others might. The other waiter was great but seemed overruled by the other one a lot which led to delayed delivery of desserts. All in all absolutely fine. Nice atmosphere inside.

It is a very happy dining experience. My friend and I ordered a pumpkin soup, a pasta and a pizza. First came the soup which was the best soup I have ever had. The pasta and pizza are very delicious, and the old lady is very kind, she explained the dishes to us patiently. All in all, I think I will come to eat here again if there is a next time.

Incredible flavourful food in a homely Italian atmosphere, and for a good price. I'd recommend the Bruschetta Tricolore, best one I've ever had. Can't understand how this place is half empty on a Saturday midday while garbage chains like Prezzo and Zizzi in the area are full

Visited on a Friday night for a birthday celebration meal. Place is small and quaint so was pretty busy. Asked if there was any chance of a table for 2 without a booking and was able to be seated straight away. Staff were very welcoming, friendly and very helpful. One of the waiters explained the specials to us and clearly knew a lot about how the food was prepared. I even asked if I was able to have a starter from the specials as a main and they were happy to do so. Food was delicious, hot and good portions. Price was not bad at all considering we both had a starter, 2 special mains, a drink each and a shot of limoncello each (the only thing that was a bit excessively priced). Every waiter / member of staff smiled even if they weren't our assigned server. The overall atmosphere of the restaurant was very warm and cosy. Had a really lovely evening and every bite was a delight!
