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!
