    This was more like a fashionable London restaurant than somewhere in a relatively small regional city - it had a very lively and youthful vibe. It was fun to eat in a trendy upmarket restaurant with a young, very well dressed, clientele. The place was packed and new diners were arriving even after 9pm. The food was good, and just as one would reasonably expect from a fashionable and quite expensive Italian restaurant. It's certainly a place in which to be seen and one can imagine it being popular with celebrities and well-heeled young executives.

    My second time back to Liverpool and to Piccolino. 6 girlfriends having a little getaway. Food was authentic, fresh and delicious! Cocktails and wine were ace and staff were efficient, friendly and fun! They put us in the back of the restaurant which was smart and considerate of other diners as we laughed our hearts out for the evening. Thanks for having us ❤️
