Quick info
About Piccolino
Piccolino is an Italian restaurant on Park Row in Leeds, serving a menu of classic Italian dishes in a contemporary dining room. The kitchen keeps to familiar Italian staples rather than a specialised regional focus. Seating operates on a walk-in basis, with no reservation process to navigate before a table opens up. The room's contemporary design sets it apart from a traditional trattoria look, giving the space a more current feel while keeping the food rooted in classic preparations. As part of a wider restaurant group, Piccolino brings a consistent, established approach to its Italian menu rather than a one-off or independent kitchen's changing specials. The Park Row address places it within easy reach for anyone in the city centre looking for an Italian meal without booking ahead.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise the food, with the pasta dishes called high quality and one diner struggling to believe it is a chain. Service is described as good, and the lunch menu gets credit for speed and variety. Complaints centre on inconsistency: one evening visit brought bread with starters, chilled red wine and very dry chicken, while another noted a cold draft at the table.

“I love these restaurants. The quality of food is so high that I struggle to believe it is a chain. Never been to a restaurant before where they are so proud of where they source the produce that they lost it in the front two pages of the menu. Gutted to hear they are being bought out. 😤 …”

“Good business lunch food. Speedy service and plenty if variety on lunch menu. Somewhat disappointed by an evening visit. Expensive, slower service and very noisy.”
- Stewart Moore
“Completely inconsistent. I write this still sat in the restaurant; two weeks ago good food, warm and well served. Tonight unfortunately is a different matter. Bread served with starters, red wine like it's been pulled from a fridge and incredibly dry chicken. There are better restaurants in Leeds, I advise you use them.”
- Ed Hewitt
“Excellent food. Pasta dishes are of high quality. Very good service. One of the best Italian restaurants in Leeds”
- Jill Hill
“Visited Piccolinos this evening. Great food and service. Gave slightly lower score on decor as was sat at a table where a cold draft was coming from somewhere i could not identify which marred the experience a little. However would go again.”
