Quick info
About Piccolo
Piccolo is an Italian restaurant on Perth Road in Dundee, set in a quiet room that suits unhurried meals. The menu draws on Italian-style cooking and lists pasta dishes such as seafood pasta and chicken alfredo, with an asparagus starter among the opening options. Reservations are required for a table, and private functions can book the whole restaurant space for their group. Diners settle in across the main room for the evening service, with the kitchen covering familiar Italian plates rather than a broader European range.

Customer Review Summary
Two serious complaints surface: one party of four reports being turned away because licensing laws reportedly bar under-18s after 7:30pm, with no mention of this policy online or at booking, after traveling over five hours for the meal. Another reviewer alleges they were refused seating on the basis of race, calling the treatment a disgrace.

“Please be warned. I booked here a few days before traveling to Dundee for a short break.I had heard good reports about it. It was supposed to be a celebratory meal for my son passing his Nat 5 exams. On our arrival with my wife, son and daughter, I was greeted by a waiter who showed us to our table. After a minute or so he returned telling us we would have to leave. Apparently this was because the Dundee licensing laws forbid a 16 and 14 year old to eat in a restaurant that sells alcohol after 7.30pm. The chef arrived from the kitchen to apologise. We found this extremely strange, and did not encounter any other issues in other establishments during our stay. It isn't mentioned anywhere or the restaurants website either. It certainly wasn't mentioned when I booked days before. Such a shame as we had traveled over 5 hours and were really looking forward to our dinner!”
