Piccolino - Exchange Square in City of London, Westminster

My daughter has just been to this venue for her birthday for a bottomless brunch, they had to pay upfront and have been served only two drinks in an hour!! Then had the cheek to try charge them £70 service charge. Clearly the staff have seen a young group of girls as an easy target for money. Disgusting

First time for work Christmas party. Food was incredible so would return. Very cold venue. The venue was packed so would have expected it to be a bit warm. It was freezing cold inside.

My family and I (5 of us) have started coming here every Christmas to kick off the festivities (this is the 2nd year). This year was absolutely incredible and Dom and Talal made all of our Christmas' already with the service they provided throughout the evening. While they had sold out of some of the items on the menu, they made sure to make up for it and went above and beyond to ensure we went away happy, from complimentary prosecco to a complimentary dessert platter to share, we left speechless and eager to go back again! (No Karen's were made, may I point out!). London is a big place so we considered trying a different restaurant, but it's safe to say we'll be coming back every year, come rain or shine! Thank you again to Dom & Talal for a wonderful evening that we'll be talking about for years. Piccolino also always listen to my notes when booking, and make sure we get a comfortable/accessible spot to accommodate my disabled partner.

Mila treated my table really well and had good recommendations for our food and drinks. Thoroughly enjoyable evening, can't wait to go again.

Poor service without a smile, and extremely rude bar staff. Came here for a Christmas work lunch, and the unseasoned steak (which I paid extra for) was a very poor cut of meat; half of it was gristle. Chips were soggy and vegetables burnt. Don’t waste your money.

The atmosphere was absolutely fantastic. The staff were very friendly and attentive considering how busy it was in there.. Dom the manager was amazing.. Thank you for a such a wonderful evening. Would definitely visit Piccolino again.

Food was just ok and not as good as the one at Manchester. The food was served quite slow and we could see the calamari was on the kitchen table for more than 10 minutes before being served to us. Also, we did put Birthday on my booking but nothing happened and the staff didn’t serve us the birthday plate at all, which was very disappointing and we didn’t expect this from a restaurant at this level.

Talal was very welcoming and friendly he was chatting and knowledgeable too. Helped with drink recommendations too.

The waiters make you feel at home… highly recommended for the charm of the place and the quality of the food.

Great food, lovely staff but slow service.

We celebrated my best friend birth and we couldn’t have asked for a better atmosphere! We had the best time with delicious food, amazing Prosecco and had an excellent service from all the time! A special thank you to Alessia for taking care of us girls so well, to Luigi the general manager, Nadia, Fabio, Maurizio and the Napolitan waiter. I am looking forward to coming back here soon!

Great amazing food. Talal is so welcoming!! Thank you

Talal provided a great service!!

Micheal was our waiter and he was absolutely amazing. Great food and wine recommendations’ for the Wednesday wine special. Food was lovely and atmosphere was nice. We were there for like 6 hours 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

We had such a lovely dinner. Our waiter Talal was amazing

Great service and food, we had a brilliant waiter (Talal) who went above and beyond to make our experience special and accommodate to our needs. Will definitely be back :)

Talal very friendly. Lovely food great service x

Nice setting and friendly staff Food was quite a let down. The pasta included tomatoes and these weren’t on. Staff helped to get them added, I’m not sure they were intended to be uncooked. Also way too much olive oil.

Quiet yet vibrant, this place is tucked away from Liverpool Street but it is a hidden gem.

Talal was a great host, food was great. At the end he pointed us to a deal to get 50% off the bottles which was great!

Talal was very attentive, will definitely be back!

Went here for a Birthday and had a fantastic time great food options along with good drinks service, the atmosphere was amazing and got everyone up dancing. Would highly recommend for a girls brunch or mixed gender groups. Would definitely go again.

Enjoyed the wagu beef lasagna. Excellent service from Talal :-) Recommend anyone in town for drinks and delicious Italian food!

Talel & Gigi exceptional service. Thank you for being so attentive.

Talal was the best host, and made a birthday dinner even better

Talal was an amazing host, made sure we were welll looked after

In early September we booked our Xmas party (for mid December) here only, a month later, to be told that we have been double-booked and so the booking has to be cancelled. We're now left with nowhere to go and have made other plans. I understand that mistakes happen, but it is very hard to believe that this isn't simply because they've had an enquiry for a bigger booking. The lesson, quite simply, is that Piccolino can't be trusted with important bookings. To add insult to injury the deposit which we paid has still not been returned 5 days later. Avoid!!!

Cancelled without a proper explanation weeks after booking, despite a deposit having been paid.

Best italian food, Beautiful ambience and lovely Service!! Highly recommend when in London.

Great Italian restaurant offering seasonal dishes, pasta, steaks, and much more. Variety of wines, cocktails, and beers.

I'm sorry but I was disappointed with my food at lunchtime today - the bottle of wine was lovely, the service and atmosphere were great, but the food was very lack lustre. It was my birthday lunch, and I had salmon tagliatelle. Well, there was very little salmon and asparagus, but nearly a whole pack of peas! Very poor and I now have stomach ache after so many peas. Also, the portions my friends had were very on the small side - mushroom gnocchi and beef tortelloni. Not only that the online prices were much lower than the actual menu. I have had far better in the locality.

Really enjoyed our dinner, lovely atmosphere, lovely staff

Service as always is fabulous - thank you Talal

Lovely food great service from talal !!

TALAL was really friendly and took good care of us! Coming back for sure

We came often because it was close to where we were staying. It's lucky that there is such a restaurant as soon as you get off the subway. Especially the oysters were very nice 😍🙏🏻

Great Service, Talal was very helpful and polite

Lovely experience, waiter Talal was lovely and friendly. Good views of the city and amazing pizza.

Thank you Talal food was really good

Lovely location, nice staff, just on the pricier end for fairly simple food (pizzas/pasta etc). We did all however enjoy our food and I would go back. The courgette fries were amazing, the dessert though was too rich, even between 4 we didn't finish it (and we like sweet stuff!)

We had a lovely server named Talal he was a wonderful server and made sure we had a 10/10 experience. On top on that the food was delicious!! Would definitely recommend

We had a wonderful time, exquisite food and drink. Talal was a wonderful waiter and delivered exceptional service

Great place!! Talal was great!! ❤️❤️

I want to say thank you very much for saving my birthday! I booked a table at another establishment and everything was very bad, we left after 5 minutes of being there. When we arrived at this establishment, we were greeted very warmly. The hostess was very friendly, the manager was simply magical, the waiters and runners were simply wonderful. I want to say a special thank you to Andrea and Angelo (I'm not sure I spelled their names correctly, sorry), they were absolutely wonderful. I definitely recommend this place to everyone! Thank you very much to the whole team, I am very grateful for this evening!!!

Talal was very friendly and professional. Great customer service and great food :)

We enjoyed the experience with Mr Tamer, excellent recommendations and service. Thank you!

Absolutely fantastic! Brilliant food and excellent service especially by Tamer. Will be back again.
