Piccola Strada

Some of the BEST food I've had in all of New York City. Also it's BYOB which is super nice! The owners are so sweet. I keep going back!

A wonderful hole in the wall Italian restaurant, and my absolute go-to every time I'm in the city.

I would give this cutest and coziest restaurant a 6/5 if I could! Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious and I say it with all my heart this place deserves more attention!! Truly a hidden gem 💯🫶🏼

I was concerned about some of the reviews right before mine but I'm glad we went. The chicken parm was great. Sauce with the pasta was good too. Would definitely go back.

Love this small restaurant! The food is tasty, the owner is kind, and thank you for the complimentary wine, it really made our date memorable. I’ll definitely be back!

This tiny gem was the high light of our NYC trip. Great Italian food. No bar, but you can bring your own wine! Met the kitchen staff and they let us take pics.😁

Had the best time. We got the fried zucchini as an appetizer, and then the chicken parmigiana and the Braciolette di Manzo. Both great, I personally preferred the chicken parm which was fantastic. Our server, Willy, was so sweet and accommodating and we had a great time with him. It’s BYOB with a 5$ cork fee which is great.

Has outdoor seating with overhead heaters (still cold on windy days, so pick a milder day). Adorable, intimate, no frills Italian menu with a taste of nonna's love. It's BYOB with a small corkage fee ($8). Must: lobster ravioli, veal, and tiramisu.

The camera definitely did not eat first but this is the best Italian food I’ve had in the city. We did outdoor dining last week and then did takeout tonight. Amazing service and even more amazing food. If you’re in NYC you HAVE to stop by. It’s also BYOB which is a huge bonus!

I usually go to this restaurant at least once a week. I love how cosy is the ambiance and how fresh and delicious is the food! All the people who works there are so nice and friendly. Is Byob which makes it even better!

We had an amazing time at Piccola Strada! We had a large party and Mario was super nice and easy to work with to get it organized. We were able to bring our favorite wines and had a great menu - passed apps, choice of entree, and cannolis! Small, cozy atmosphere with very friendly service!

Went to Piccola Strada for a girls not out and it did not disappoint!! The service was immaculate and the food even more so. We eat out in the city a lot and this is by far one of the best place I’ve tried. Dishes I recommend to try would be the lobster ravioli, artichoke ravioli and the caesar salad app. But you can’t go wrong ordering anything on the menu. We will be coming back again!

Not only is the food here exceptional, but the owners are some of the most incredible people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting in NYC. Mario helped coordinate a dinner for 20 of my closest friends while Esperanza cheffed up fantastic food the entire night. Their fried zucchini, lobster ravioli, cannolis, and tiramisu are to DIE FOR. This has become a staple for my friends, family and I. It feels like eating at your grandmother’s home.

Piccola Strada is such an awesome place! We had our Friendsgiving here. The cooking and service was divine! The lobster ravioli was out of this world. Couldn’t recommend this place more! Thank you!!

A tiny restaurant with a vast menu of authentic Italian cuisine. Everything is homemade and never frozen. We ordered two entrees and both were phenomenal. Will be back to try more from the menu!

Showed up to this quaint, east village lofted apartment w/vintage paintings and a horizontal mirror. Talk about intimate. This cozy and toasty, (legit hot and steamy) spot only seats a total of 16 slim people. The ambiance is interesting. Lights are dim and the AC comes on occasionally. Food was AH-mazing. The entrees are small so make sure you come hungry and order a minimum of three. The price is right and you won’t be disappointed. The salt & pepper shakerz were rock solid (threw my elbow out) so don’t bother. If you’re lucky enough to sit in the window seat / by all means don’t look up because then you will get final destination vibes. You will leave smelling like pizza. Don’t go to the bathroom until the check has been paid and you know for sure that you will never be back. Next stop: The Boiler Room. (House rules for TouchTunes: no Ariana Grande)

Comically small space, we walked out smelling like the burnt oil from the kitchen, food was good , especially the artichoke ravioli , the tiramisu was super lite and fluffy might be one of the best I have ever tried (excellent ), very unique spot. $330 including a healthy tip got us 3 apps, 2 pasta's , 3 main's, 3 desert's , 3 coffees so I would say it was very well priced for NYC. BYOB.

Very basic Italian food but does the trick. Cramped and small restaurant. BYOB.

I wanted to love this place, especially after hearing the heartwarming story of the chef—it's clear they pour passion into what they do. Unfortunately, the food didn’t live up to the hype. The pasta was under-seasoned, and the sauces tasted more store-bought than homemade. The portions were small for the price, and the overall experience left me underwhelmed. I admire the effort and love behind the restaurant, but the flavors and execution just didn’t hit the mark.

This one of the worst meals we had in NYC. The quality, consistency, and flavors of the food were awful, the service was poor for new york, price was way too high compared to the quality of food and ambience, no restrooms, and leaving the restaurant my whole clothes and hair smelled. Even other guests left immediately after having one bite of their food. PLEASE DONT EAT HERE
