What People Are Saying About Piccola Italia
Featured Review

In Short – This is one of those comfortable Italian neighborhood joints where the owner will greet you with a cheerful "Ciao!" whether he knows you or not. The dining room is a red-hued, softly lit, casual space where diners enjoy heaping bowls of spaghetti. Portions are generous and prices hover around $7 for a pasta dish and $10 for a specialty like musselsover pasta.
Editor's Tips
- What To Drink:
- Carafes of wine are hard to come by in the Triangle, but here you can order a half carafe of the house red or white for $8.50. The cappucino is $2.50 a pop, so you may consider a cup of the regular brew at 75 cents.

poor management
by WineOfrmRaleigh at Citysearch
Ok, the food and the service at this place seem to be pretty well put together. However, my experience a few nights ago put a sour taste in my mouth. I was dining with a friend and we were deep in conversaton when the girl that was managing allowed her staff to start closing the restaurant around us. I thought this to be very rude and disrespectful, and for that, I do not think I will be returning to dine at Piccola.

Italian food made from a true Italian!!!
by Arigio at Citysearch
The sad thing about your false statements is you are not thinking about the employees who work at Piccola Italia. They go to work every day to make money to pay bills. I am sure the health inspector has shown up in the morning unannounced at least a few times over the last 28 years!! You did not quit, you got fired and it is understandable to be upset, but to go about it this way and try to defame a good establishment truly supports the reason you were fired in the first place. The food at Piccola Italia is the real thing!! Piccola Italia has lasted longer then some marriages lol. You have to be doing something right to stay in business as long as Mr. Amato has. Move on and good luck in your job search!!
- Pros: The Food, the ambiance
- Cons: Wish there was a Piccola Italia in Wake Forest

Try it --you'll love it--

There is no place better for mouth watering Pizza and great Italian.
We know exactly who's posting the fraudulent reviews in an attempt to make Piccola look bad. Don't pay any attention to this liars. Try Piccola yourself. It's the best!
- Pros: Excellent
- Cons: None

Piccola Best in the Triangle
by dorljohnsoniii at Citysearch
Ignore the negative posts. They are being posted by a few ex-employees who were fired because they couldn't or wouldn't abide by the rules, i.e. get out of bed and go to work /go to work on time. I suggest these posts are easily traced back to the posters who have maliciously and with malice posted grossly untrue information about Piccola Italia herein. Got $25,000 to $30,000 to defend your lies in court?
- Pros: Everything
- Cons: Ex-employees

I Actually Vomitted...Twice
by NCFoodFan at Citysearch
I went to Piccola based largely on good word of mouth, and I ordered the "Gladiator" (all meat) pizza. The first few pieces tasted great, but I actually started to get sick after the 3rd or 4th slice. I ended up vomiting the entire meal up. I think it was because of how thick and greasy the crust was.
Still, because those first few slices tasted great, I went back a second time a few months later and ordered the same pizza, the "Gladiator." The exact same thing happened; I ate one or two slices fine, but started to get an uneasy "sick" feeling after the third slice. And I ended up vomiting again.
- Pros: Great Tasting Pizza
- Cons: Makes Me Sick
