piccolo's the dream of great food at a reasonable price. piccolo's is a northern italian restaurant. they have a small piano bar area off to one side and a backroom that can sit about fifty people for special events. piccolo's is one of the family secrets for great food in a wonderful atmosphere. i refer to it as great restaurant for reasonable price,excellentfood, and wonderful ambience. this is a place were that wonderful european tradition of being served by all male wait staff brings a certain touch of style. you can show up in boots and jeans but most everyone is in slacks and a nice collared shirt. this tends to be the place for the who's who of arlington. i have often dined with famous people less than two tables away. the patrons have a history of respecting the privacy of others while making them feel welcome.
favorites have always been the salmon off the board without question. the veal scaloppini is wonderful. i am notorious for ordering side dishes like composing music overture. italian sausage is wonderful with the fettuccine alfredo. the linguini with fresh clams go great with the shrimp "gamberi alla provinciacle." the list can go on and on…
i have to warn you it can be very romantic and enjoyable. often dinner is finished with chocolate covered perfitta rolls and a good cup of coffee. it seems we have replaced the cigarette with a nice cup of coffee after a meal.
please give piccolo's an opportunity to shine i don't think you will be disappointed. as a note- of holidays can be very busy and i would recommend reservations. yes, they still do that
