Piccolino - Exchange Square

Mila did a very good job serving us her recommendations were the best. She was very attentive during all night without being intrusive. A big shout also to the food I really loved the lobster and fresh pasta. List of wine was also very good. I absolutely recommend this place. Thank you again to everyone and especially to Mila!!

This is my second time have been here and I decided to leave a 5 stars review. The restaurant it’s pretty, really good for special occasions especially and they have friendly staff to serve you the best food. I ordered crab meat ravioli this time, and the sauce was quite unique which add an extra point to the dish. Surprisingly the portion was bigger than I thought !! I had good food and experience for the both time I went !

An amazing hidden gem of a location and venue for corporate events, social gatherings and even family dining. A little tricky to find via Google maps but if you head towards the back end of Liverpool Street station (facing the platforms, walk on the upper mezzanine level) you will soon see exchange square. The restaurant has a lovely private dining room overlooking the main restaurant which I am using for a corporate dinner. Highly recommended beautifully decorated Italian restaurant well worth a visit.

We went to Piccolino just for a drink, but the place was so nice we decided to stay for dinner—and we’re glad we did! The atmosphere was really welcoming, the drinks were great, and the food was delicious. The staff were friendly and made us feel right at home. We’ll definitely be back!

We had a fantastic dinner Friday night at Piccolino's Exchange Square. Food was delicious, good potions, perfect Negronies!! And the tortino al cioccolato for dessert was amazingly decadent. The top was the service, professional, warm, enjoyable, Thank you Fadil. It wasn't my first and won't be my last visit. Felt like home!! Thanks

We had the beef lasagna and beef ragu, it is one of the best ones we have ever had! It’s full of flavour, soft and melts in your mouth. I could come here every day for the lasagna, it has a truffle flavour, homemade pasta! We have been twice now and will be coming back! Lovely location and excellent service. Thank you!

The Tonnareli frutti di mare here is incredible - proper fresh seafood, pasta cooked just right. But honestly what made it was the staff, everyone was so smiley and helpful. The receptionist was lovely when we arrived, and our drinks runner was brilliant too. That big window overlooking the City is stunning, especially at dusk. Quality across the board was excellent. Will be back for sure.

Had a business lunch here last week and it was spot on for a professional meeting. The atmosphere strikes the right balance - sophisticated but not stuffy. Service was excellent, attentive without hovering. What really impressed me was the view - that large arched window overlooking the City skyscrapers and Liverpool Street station creates quite a backdrop for a meeting. The lighting design is really well done too. Food and drinks were high quality throughout. Would definitely use this venue again for client meetings.

We had a great team meal here. Fadil was meticulous despite the group size and crowd. Food was amazing. Orders were taken timely and also sent to the right person! Awesome. Glad that Fadil was looking after us. Thanks much.

Very pleasant restaurant with excellent service. Everything was handled naturally, quickly, and with a smile. I especially appreciated the personal approach. Fadil was truly great and significantly contributed to the overall positive impression. We’ll be happy to come back.

Serena is really kind and awesome. Luigi is great. Maurizzio is a professional. Great place, food and drink. Highly recommend.

Haven’t been in a while and was delighted to get back for lunch! Amazing atmosphere, great service and food. Their hostesses absolutely amazing - I don’t know how she copes but she manages to greet people and get them to the table, deal with the coasts end also appear at the table to pour water into your glass and she does it with a nice friendly attitude - most impressive!

The team at the restaurant were so welcoming and professional. I asked for a specific table when I made the reservation, and they got it spot on. I had the carbonara and my partner had the orecchiette con salsiccia — both were delicious. The pasta was cooked perfectly and the atmosphere was really lovely. Our waiter, Nia, was great — really friendly and professional. She checked in a few times to make sure everything was okay and that we were enjoying our food (which we definitely were!). We closed the night with an Affogato and Tiramisu and they were amazing. Overall, it was such a nice experience and I’m already looking forward to going back. I’d totally recommend this place — if you’re thinking about going, just go! You’ll have a great time. Big thanks to the whole team for looking after us so well.

had the absolute pleasure of being served by Nia at Piccolo’s, and she truly made the entire experience exceptional. From the moment we arrived, she was friendly, professional, and genuinely kind—the kind of person who instantly makes you feel welcome. Nia went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, checking in just the right amount and making thoughtful recommendations with a smile. Her warm personality and attentive service made our meal so enjoyable—it honestly felt like dining with a friend who loves what she does. I can confidently say this was the best service I’ve ever received anywhere. Nia is a real credit to Piccolo’s and a big reason I’ll definitely be coming back. Thank you for making our visit so special! 🌟

The staffs were very welcoming. Fadil was absolute patient and went through the menu with me. Decided to order more than expected. Will definetely come back. Thank you.

We visited Piccolino for a work dinner and had a fantastic evening. The food was delicious, the service excellent, and the atmosphere warm and welcoming. Our waiter, Domenico, was outstanding, friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect. The team was also so thoughtful to surprise a colleague with a birthday candle to celebrate his recent big birthday, which made the night extra special. Highly recommend Piccolino for great food and truly lovely service!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had an excellent dining experience at Piccolino Exchange Square, thanks to our waiter Guna Vardhan. He was extremely professional, friendly, and attentive throughout our meal.

I visited this restaurant this past Tuesday and had a wonderful experience. The food was excellent — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. What really stood out, though, was the service. Mila, who took care of our table, was absolutely impeccable: professional, attentive, and very kind. Her service truly elevated the entire dining experience. Highly recommended!

Had a lovely evening at Piccolino Exchange Square. Mila really looked after us with genuine care and made the whole experience relaxed and enjoyable. The seafood was excellent with Fritto Misto that was light and fresh and king prawn pasta that was packed with flavour. The food and service together made it a night worth remembering and I will definitely return.

Had a great meal at Piccolino’s. Our waitress, Nia, was excellent. Lots of menu advice as well as recommendations too. Highly recommend.

Serena was an outstanding hostess. She greeted everyone with genuine warmth and professionalism, creating a welcoming atmosphere from the very beginning. Throughout the event she was attentive, well-organized, and always ready to assist with a smile. Her ability to remain calm under pressure while ensuring that every detail was taken care of made a real difference. Serena’s kindness, efficiency, and dedication truly elevated the whole experience

Had a lovely experience at Piccolino Liverpool Street. The food was delicious, especially the pasta and pizza. Great ambience and friendly staff. Perfect place for Italian food lovers!

Had an amazing evening. The food, the ambience, everything made me feel at home. I truly can’t recommend this place enough. A special thank you to the Italian receptionist for the warm welcome and hospitality, it really made the experience even more memorable. I’ll definitely be coming back!

The food was excellent, but the standout of the evening was truly our server, Guna. He was incredibly attentive without being intrusive. We really appreciated his knowledge of the menu; he gave us a great recommendation for a wine pairing with the pasta special. What made him exceptional was his genuine warmth and positive attitude. He clearly enjoys his job, and it elevates the entire dining experience.

Nia was an absolutely amazing server. She was attentive but not over the top, friendly and just super nice. We even got to chat about cats! Food was pretty good too. Really enjoyed the experience at this very central restaurant.

The drinks were really good - my mocktail was not too sweet and great flavor. The food was all decently good flavor, I think the presentation can be better. The dessert was ok - could be that my expectations were too high as the Tiramisu was highly recommended by people. In general, very pleasant dinning experience.

Very enjoyable experience in a modern, clean, nicely decorated atmosphere. Went as a group of 4. Service was excellent: friendly and attentive, happy to recommend or let you take control! Stating with a couple of things that were good but needed a bit extra: the Fritto Mistowas good but not great. Generous but lacking some extra flavour despite the dips. Felt the same about the Bruschetta classica - good but not easy to share and needed a kick. The other dish in this category was the chocolate fondant - nowhere near as luscious as expected, but overall tasted good. Highlights: the Lasagne Contadina was delicious, especially the bit of char on top. Pizza Diavola was nicely balanced with a tasty dough. Would definitely return.

Food was okay and well prepared, but not really worth the price - we’ve had better for less. We were also disappointed with the bill - dishes from the weekend feast menu, which should have had a fixed set price, were charged individually - we felt scammed. Staff was generally fine, polite enough, but not particularly warm. Overall, not the best value for money.

Came here with the Club IR 50% off offer - otherwise the prices are very high for what it is. I was very disappointed with the arancini (it was almost cold), and the other dishes were only average. The staff really very attentive though and it’s a very large space.

We had a booking via OpenTable for this Saturday, to celebrate my partners 30th birthday with his family (all of whom who were travelling a long distance from outside of London). We booked weeks in advance, and had received booking confirmations and reminders - however when we arrived, we found the restaurant was closed. We’d received no notice about this from the restaurant, and this left us having to find somewhere else for a large group at very short notice, in the high season in London. This ultimately made us very late for our evening plans, and meant we had to rush what should’ve been a nice celebratory afternoon for a very special occasion. Very disappointing experience.

Very disappointing. Small portions for the price. Service started okay but we were left for over 10 minutes to choose a dessert and had to find a member of staff. Very expensive. Difficult to find restaurant. Felt staff looking down on us. Never again.
