    An unforgettable dining experience! We had an absolutely fantastic meal in a beautiful setting. Booking online for a later reservation was easy, and we were seated right away. Our waiter, Giovanni, was outstanding—warm, passionate, and attentive from start to finish. He truly made us feel welcome and well cared for throughout the evening. The food was exceptional across the board—fresh, flavorful, and expertly prepared. We especially loved the carbonara, Bolognese, gnocchi with pesto, and the perfectly grilled lamb. If you're staying nearby, this place is a must-visit. An unforgettable dining experience!

    Perfect service from very friendly personnel, tried very hard on English. Food was great, only the desert was a little less (standard). Nice bottle of rose wine. At the end interesting gesture with sugar in alcohol that was burned. Location was great. Good experience.

    Il Piccolo Vicolo is always a great choice for a great meal in Rome. The staff is always welcoming, the food is delicious and it's a nice cozy place for dinner. Go, you won't regret it.

    From the moment we arrived we were greeted with such friendliness and felt welcomed. The aeperol spritz was great, our cheese and salumi starter was delicious and we had a seafood risotto and a seafood spaghetti which melted in our mouths. We absolutely loved it and the staff were so attentive. it is now one of my favourite restaurants in Rome.

    Super friendly and welcoming staff and a lovely menu--nothing extraordinarily creative or unique, but reliably delicious classics at reasonable prices. We came here twice during our trip because the energetic ambiance was fun for our teens and we didn't feel like we were intruding on anyone else's quiet date. An excellent option in a city where you can easily steer into traps. Great wine!

    Giovanni, the waiter, was extraordinary! He was attentive, entertaining and extremely professional. The food was excellent. Even the owner was involved in making sure everything was perfect. We have been to this restaurant before but each visit gets better and better.

    We had a great dining experience and would highly recommend stopping in here for a meal. Had reservations for a weeknight at 5PM and our server was awesome. He was knowledgeable with the menu, wine, and very sweet with our toddler. All of the restaurant staff were sweet on our toddler. The food was delicious, I can't remember the names of everything we ordered, but we enjoyed it all.

    Started out nice, with welcoming atmosphere… Food was excellent but they brought us the wrong food at first. When I told them it wasn’t ours, the waiter said he had to talk to his colleague??? … no apology, no friendly attitude… just not happy. Food finally came out, was excellent, but no one ever came back to ask if we wanted ANYTHING else… so we had no dolce, no other drinks, etc. The service was a big turnoff… probably will not go back even though the food was perfect… wish we could have tried more, but never got the opportunity

    We were so glad we chose Piccolo Vicolo for dinner our first night in Rome. I had the octopus -polpo in cannolo di pasta fillo, crema di burata e pesto di rucola, and my wife had seafood pasta. Both were excellent and large servings. The wait staff was very welcoming. We ended up coming back the next day for lunch to try the insalada di mare—excellent and overflowing with mussels, clams, calamari, shrimp, and my wife had pasta with zucchini flowers, guanciale and pecorino, also excellent. We also tried the delicious fried artichokes because we had seen them served at a neighboring table the night before. Highly recommend Piccolo Vicolo!

    Aside from the delicious food, we enjoyed sitting outside. The service was excellent too. No complaints at all. In fact, in a sea of amazing food, Piccolo Vicolo is a definite return for us. We went there twice on our 12 day Roman holiday.

    We were staying at Hotel Smeraldo and made reservations for our last night in Rome. The entire meal was so good! I had Cacio e Pepe and my Husband had the Amatricaino. We loved them! Also each had a Tiramisu that was so good I will dream about it. Very welcoming staff and good service.

    This is a very atmospheric little restaurant with very friendly staff. They made us feel very welcome. But unfortunately the food was a bit disappointing. It arrived quite quickly once our order was taken (service was very relaxed=slow). The lasagne portion was very small and did not come with any bread or salad. The tagliatelle with mushrooms was literally that. Some olive oil and parsley but pretty bland and unexciting. I would have liked to be offered parmesan cheese but it didn't happen and they got busy so didn't come back to check our meals were okay at all. Sorry because the staff were so pleasant but they need to look at their food.
