What People Are Saying About Piccola Italia

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.

Worlds Best Pizza and Pasta
by WellDone at Citysearch
I discovered Piccola Italia in 1982 after searching high and low for REAL Pizza. A friend suggested I visit Piccola Italia and I've been hooked ever since. At least twice a week I can be found stuffing my face at my favorite booth.
Don't pay any attention to the negative posts.
They are being posted by a few former employees who were canned for failing to show up for work .
Try Piccola yourself. You won't regret it.
- Pros: Great Service, Friendly Staff, Awesome Food
- Cons: Closed Sunday

Aggressively bad service
by karatebride at Citysearch
When my husband and I arrived at Piccola Italia, the hostess asked the waitress out front, "Will you take this one?" The waitress replied, "I guess if I have to." Looking back, we should have left then - or at least when we got to our table, where food and dirty silverware littered the floor. Our waitress came to our table three times - the last time, she asked us if we wanted dessert while we were only about halfway through dinner. Then she dropped the check on the table. Maybe she was in a hurry to get off work - I don't know. We tried to speak to a man who seemed to be a manager about the service - growing up, my dad used to say his worst customers were the ones who never came back and never said why - but he just shouted "Thank you!" at us and ran. No apology, no interest in what went wrong. This place was quite a bit different fifteen years ago - maybe it's the new generation. We won't be back.
- Pros: serviceable food
- Cons: hostile service, dirty dining room
The Details on Piccola Italia
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.
