Customer Review Summary

Diners repeatedly single out the pasta dishes as the draw, from the nduja pasta to a tasty pasta ordered alongside seafood, with the burrata on a bed of pesto and the margarita pizza also earning praise. Seafood comes up often too, with fish skewers, prawns, scallops and swordfish described as fresh and delicious. Close behind, several mention the cocktails and a sweet wine recommended by one server, plus quick, friendly service and a clean, stylish setting good for birthdays and dates. One reviewer wished the Sunday roast beef offered a medium option rather than just pink or well done, finding it chewy. A Valentine's Day visit fell short of expectations after hearing good things beforehand, with the reviewer reporting the food itself was disappointing. Most describe returning or planning to return, with several thanking specific staff members by name for recommending wine and making their visit memorable.

  • Dr. mo Sammour
    “We went to have ice cream and ended up having a great lunch too. We were welcomed by the Italian manager and one of the staff named Fatima - They were very pleasant and helpful. The menu was explained to us and ended up choosing my favourite Burata on a bed of pesto and garnished with dried cherry tomatoes and a margarita pizza. Delicious and fully enjoyed our meal. I also ordered Italian lemonade - inspiring. The background music was great and not loud.”
  • Mary Meeneghan
    “We had a wonderful dining experience at Piccolino Chester. The online booking process was quick and seamless, making planning our visit completely hassle-free. From the moment we arrived, the service was fast, efficient, and genuinely friendly. The restaurant's decor is stunning—stylish, welcoming, and creating a fantastic atmosphere for a meal out. The food quality was top-notch across the board, but what really stood out was the kids' menu. Finding great food options for children can sometimes be a challenge, but Piccolino nailed it with excellent choices that our child loved. Great atmosphere, high-quality food, and brilliant hospitality. We will definitely be back!”

    “I had delicious fish skewers , prawns, scallops and swordfish. My partner had a tasty pasta dish which was also great. We’ll be back. We had excellent service from Pietro.”
  • Favour Okoli
    “Lovely aesthetics and staff. The food was delicious and was of a good portion. Had the £25 two course meal deal. Loved the calamari starter. Wish the beef for the Sunday roast had the option for medium well done, rather than just pink and well done. Went for well done but it was very chewy.”
