Piccolo Sogno

"Paperdelle was good. They make their own olive oil which was amazing, and the balsamic (maybe made in-house?) was also amazing. So somehow the bread was the best part of the meal for me. Would come here again. Very traditional and authentic."

"This is the second year on a role we felt over dressed for our Valentine's days dinner. This is a neighborhood joint for sure, old school home cooking. Now people say simple fresh ingredients are what make Italian food great, that is true, but it also requires balance of flavors and depth. Let's say my favorite two items here are the reduced house balsamic vinegar and the cappuccino. High praises on the fast services, seamless. The interior atmosphere is so so, cramped. Maybe I will come back to see the outdoor space that everyone is talking about. The caprese was small, with sundried tomatoes instead of fresh, different kinds of good. But the basil was chopped, strange because you lose that mouth watering aroma from the whole leave. The presentation is not even photo worthy. The Burrata was good, loved the flower presentation. The dates and pistachio chunks are good compliments of each other. The oxtail, nothing fancy, no secret recipe there. Simple carrot, celery cook down. Tender. Pappardelle with Boar Ragu, good pasta, bland Ragu, not much depth to it, actually the most disappointing dish. A bit over salted. The Branzino was perfect, old school preparations and cooked to perfection, just the way I like it. But that grape fruit and capers sauce completely lost me. I am not sure if that is how it is done in Italy, but I just can't find the connection between any of those ingredients. Just lemon please! If the prices they charge are 15% less, I think it is more reasonable for the value of the dishes. Plus the 3% credit card fee on top of it, there is no selling point anymore."

"Exceptional Italian cuisine with great service. The pasta dishes are generously portioned and had lots of great flavor. I particularly enjoyed the Spaghetti Neri—the squid ink pasta had a delightful springy texture and paired well with the flavorful seafood in a rich sauce. The bread basket and house balsamic vinegar were equally amazing, and I literally could not stop eating from the moment I arrived. Overall, I was thoroughly pleased with the dining experience."

"Ordered one antipasti and one pasta, both are really good. For the antipasti I ordered burrata. It was a good combination with the bread served. For the main dish, although it provides a smaller size, I found no problem finishing the full size. I also paired the main dish with a glass of white wine recommended by the server. With some simple ingredients, shrimps, tomatoes, spinach, it's still very tasty. The atmosphere was also great. Would definitely visit again in the future."

"Went for dinner with my teamies after the marathon. Good find. Since we all were hungry & we randomly found the restaurant through google. The food was amazing. Service was great. Loved the tiramisu. Would definitely recommend people."
