"My grandson Googled Italian restaurant, that was what he wanted to eat. Found this place, and it was amazing. We were greeted upon entering and told to sit where we wanted. There were four of us, we ordered drinks, I had a half lemonade half tea, and an appetizer of fried mushrooms, they were delicious. They brought bread and marinara sauce even a bottle of olive oil. I had the veal parmesan and my wife had the small shrimp Alfredo, my grandson had the large shrimp Alfredo with extra shrimp, and my granddaughter had the vegetarian lasagna. The food dishes were all delicious, but one exception, my veal was a bit on the tough side. Even though it was delicious with all the perfect taste I was a little disappointed with the veal. Our waitstaff was very polite, professional and friendly. Great atmosphere, very clean restaurant and bathrooms. Because it is Santa Fe NM things are a bit on the pricey side. This is a must return and try another different dish for sure. Overall the taste of the food dishes were impressive. As far as deserts, the cappuccino getato and the tieramesu was excellent."

"Wednesday, Sept 24 12:00 pm Piccolinos is clearly a popular place, ranked #1 by the Santa Fe Reporter many years in a row. We arrived at a full parking lot, yet were greeted and seated right away. And even though they were busy, our server came immediately. The dining room is crisp and bright with walls hung with Italian themed posters and art. There is an extensive and exclusively Italian menu with Ravioli, Pastas, Baked Dishes like Lasagna and Stuffed Eggplant and Pizzas with plenty of add-ons. Appetizers and salads were creative and interesting. Mains are listed by Seafood, Veal and Chicken. We began with a surprise of a complimentary starter of warm Italian bread with olive oil and a spicy tomato dipping sauce. We shared a Capri Salad (mozzarella, slices of tomato, basil, carrots and crispy, cold lettuce with vinegar and olive oil jugs to mix your own dressing.) Our main course was a large (16”) Pizza Stagione with sundried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, black olives and sausage (substituted for the standard pepperoncini,) ample for two and satisfying. Our beverage, Pellegrino sparkling water came in a frosted mug with a big lemon wedge on the rim. We appreciated these kinds of thoughtful details. There was a quiet hum in the dining room (72dB) making it easy to converse. We especially enjoyed this lunch and will return. Pellegrino's is very reasonably priced, especially for the quality of the food."

"I was looking for a good Italian place in town and I was recommended this place by a friend. Needless to say, it did not disappoint. Piccolino is one of those hidden gems in Santa Fe that you probably wouldn't know about if someone didn't tell you. It's a bit out of the way from the main roads like Cerrillos so unless you stumble across it by accident, you wouldn't see it unless you're deliberately looking for it. I ordered the Chicken Chardonnay with the Mozzarella Marinara for an appetizer for lunch takeout. They told me it should take about 15-20 minutes for the food to cook and I arrive accordingly. Got there, went to the front counter, paid for the food, waited about 2-3 minutes for it to finish cooking, then I was on my way. When I got home, I was immediately surprised by the portioned size. It was certainly enough for one person and so I had some of it for dinner as well. The cream gravy in Chicken Chardonnay was savory and went well with the 3 tender chicken breast mixed together. It came with spaghetti as the pasta which I wasn't expecting but it was good. It needed a pinch of salt but YMMV. I didn't really give the vegetables much attention at all, but 🤷‍♂️. The bread on the side was also delicious dipping in the the gravy. I think this place is worth a try if you're looking for authentic Italian food to try especially if you're out of town. Granted, the food can be a little pricey, but I think this is a great place to go you're looking for something a bit different and if you want a place to sit with family, friends, or colleagues to eat."

"The food was amazing. The service was just as good. Jacob did an amazing job at telling us what everything on the menu was. The wine he suggested was spot on. We will be going back! We got dessert but to go. We had shrimp and scallops with saffron sauce and 1/2 duck with red cabbage and steamed potatoes. The duck was cooked perfectly and the honey sauce made it even better."

"A busy local Italian restaurant that was packed with locals on a Tuesday night. Definitely worth a visit for good food in a casual atmosphere. Generous servings for reasonable prices. Services was good and everyone so pleasant and helpful."
