Piccolino - Chester

Slow and Horrible Food!" We arrived at the restaurant at 7:40, placed our order for starters and main courses within ten minutes, yet we didn’t receive our starters until 8:30. When they finally arrived, we asked if our main courses could come out quickly, but it still took an additional hour. When we arrived, there were a few tables seated before us, but by the time our mains arrived, we were among the last few customers there. Can you imagine how long it took for us to get our disappointing main courses? When the mains finally arrived, they didn’t mention which dish was extra spicy, so the dishes were mixed up. We requested a replacement dish, and it came out in five minutes. WHY did it take over an hour the first time? The chicken I ordered was burnt and tasted bitter. Every dish we had was either horrible or tasteless. The worst experience ever.

I visit my daughter in Liverpool every month, but this time we decided to visit Chester instead of staying in Liverpool. After several hours of being a tourist, we were very hungry and decided upon Piccolino. Really friendly welcome and we were shown to our table and given menus and told that a couple of things had sold out, as it was late afternoon when we arrived. There was a good choice of options. Don't be put off by the menu on display outside. That is only a fraction of the options available. The food is really great. I had the Bruschetta Classica to start followed by the Calzone. Both were fresh and really tasted wonderful. Despite eating a lot for the first two courses, it was rude to skip desert and we were not disappointed. We left with very full tummies and contented. The staff were really friendly and helpful without being overbearing. 100% would recommend

My partner and I had one of the best meals from here last night. Absolutely incredible! The food was full of flavour and the staff were so welcoming and accommodating to us both. Will definitely be back!
