Piccolino in Sheffield

Really love Chris. Like I think you could just go eat at this place for Chris. The food is minimal and healthy and tasty. Portions are substantial but not large. Thought that a few of the meals needed more salt but there’s salt and pepper on the tables for a reason. Kitchen staff looked super organised as well.

Pre theatre meal this evening was absolutely delicious. Would definitely recommend the Wagyu Lasagne. The best lasagne I've had even though I've been to Italy recently!! Food and service excellent and mindful of our time constraints due to visiting the theatre later.

Great place for great people. Piccolino is simply the best!

Pretty good. Food a tad expensive but overall not too much.

Had a visit here a couple of months ago and enjoyed a lovely dinner alongside my family in a nicely decorated restaurant. I tried the lasagna and it was perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. The staff was friendly and very welcoming. Will definitely visit again in the near future.

9/1/25 four in our party. Fabulous experience. Food was as ever just perfect. But this was matched by a hard working friendly Maitre’d who clearly wanted every customer to have a good experience. Our waiter was on top of his game. His 25 year collar pin explained it all. Hope to be back soon

Great place, 100% Italian atmosphere, Fabio Made us a nice cocktail with a stunning service, always good vibes & chill guy, definitely I’m going back to!

Apart from the music being a bit loud everything was perfect

We had a fabulous family get together and could not have chosen a better venue, the food was superb and we were in no way rushed. Truly exceptional service throughout and would highly recommend, and will definitely be back.

Very friendly and helpfull staff. Food was served hot. Great first time experience. Won't be the last.

The days of people paying through the nose for dreadful food just because it's a nice looking establishment are at an end as competitive resteraunts actually deliver really good food at a reasonable price. 5 and a half quid for a bottle of water, 12 quid for a glass of wine that isn't great, 8 french fries in a tin bowl that cost 5 times as much as McDonald's chips, and a pizza that had hard stale dough, it definitely wasn't fresh. This place and the ivy are archaic and if they can't compete with places like grand plaza then it's adiós and good riddance.

wagyu lasagne was insane, best lasagne i’ve ever had! brilliant service by Erion, also recommend & beautiful red wine to compliment the meal

6 people. No complaints about food. Staff were attentive. Wine was a little overpriced, I felt, especially by the glass. None the less, we all enjoyed the evening.

Very good Italian cuisine with al dente pasta which is rare in England 😄

The steak left much to be desired. While it was cooked adequately, the portion was disappointingly small, barely satisfying as a main course. To make matters worse, the accompanying peppercorn sauce—often the highlight of such a dish—was served in a measly spoonful, leaving the plate dry and the flavors unbalanced. For the price, the experience felt underwhelming, with both substance and satisfaction sorely lacking.

An excellent Italian restaurant!

We recently had our Christmas party here for a party of 15 .Food, service, and atmosphere were fantastic .Had a really nice time .😀 Thank you .

Excellent staff and service despite visiting at a peak time. Food very good. Just a little expensive, wine particularly the wine. Altogether though would recommend.

Bang average. Excellent decor and surroundings but let down by medicore service, slow waiting and food was just ok. Over £20 spent on 2 brusetta starters which was 1 piece of sliced sourdough shared between us, half burnt and about 5 tomatoes. Service charge added by default to any table. Just feels like they know they can get a good profit due to location/looks where everything else will just do. 25 mins for desert, one wasn't even warmed as it was supposed to be. Won't be returning

Nice food staff good . Very expensive wine and food . Service charge is a rip off and they looked like they wanted another tip . Wont be going back

The service was friendly and efficient.!!!

We came for a birthday party and Erion was our waiter and was so helpful. We had a really fun evening and the food was 10/10.

It gets quite loud inside but the food is great

Lovely restaurant, fantastic food and cocktails, attentive service.

Nice restaurant, excellent service. Priced right.

Having booked a number of weeks in advance we expected the table to be ready . No crackers to compliment our Christmas menu and no fizz on arrival (as advertised) thy did apologise though and give us a bottle to take home . We asked for a bigger table and the begrudgingly gave us one even though the restaurant was very quiet . Food good , but temperature cool . I was given what I ordered then it was taken of me and given to my friend …. Very bizarre . Cost me £52 in total and felt expensive for the service we received …. Smiling , pleasant staff might help too!!!

Lovely staff and food. The newly renovated restaurant is amazing 🤩

I've been coming here many years, and piccolinos is my "go-to" place. Although recently the wait times have been getting longer and longer. I'm currently sitting here. 1.5h awaiting my starter.

Outstanding restaurant, beautifully presented/done up. The best customer service I can recall ever having. Food was beautiful. If I ever find myself back in Sheffield I'll be back here. The staff hospitality really made an unforgettable impression on me and I'll always remember this place. Thank you guys for making it a core wonderful memory and experience for me! It is the definition of what a dining experience should be 🌟🤌

We have eaten in a couple of Piccolino restaurants previously but first time here in Sheffield. Faultless service, first class food and great atmosphere. Absolutely outstanding in every way! Thanks! 👍😎

Very nice , my hbd 🎂 26 June 2021

Erion was amazing and all staff are!!

Absolutely delicious food albeit my main was severely limited in amount.. The service was on point but this was supposed to be an enjoyable but rare night out with my daughter… Understandably this isn’t a cheap place to eat.. Sadly apart from our greeting there was little cheer from the table service we received. Not that I expect to be entertained by the waiting service. So unfortunately reduced the value of the review I have given. Remarkably restaurants in Britain are adopting the practice of service charges on the final bill. This also is unacceptable.. Staff should be paid sufficiently and rewards for good service should be at the discretion of the customer..

Piccolino used to be one of my favourite restaurants in Sheffield so I picked it for my birthday yesterday but unfortunately it was a very disappointing dinner. To start with they didn’t have 3 of the wines we wanted so wa had to go just for a random one as the choice was very limited. Then We ordered olives calamari and courgette fries for starters. Olives were good and calamari were good although we didn’t get a lemon with it. The courgette fries were cold, and also a small portion compared to what it used to be and what’s e had had in Manchester and what can even be seen in photos of other reviews from just a few days ago. After mains we ordered our mains, or.. shall I say - attempted to…We had had a delicious truffle lasagna in Piccolino in Manchester a few days prior and were thinking about it ever since. That was also one of the reasons we picked this place for my birthday. So we ask for that lasa gna for our mains, But guess what? They didn’t have any lasagna left. Then we were like okay.. let’s have the truffle pasta, since we can’t stop thinking about those truffles. No truffle pasta either. In fact no truffle anything. So we got two fillet steaks.. They used to make this amazing mushroom sauce some time ago but not anymore, this time it’s just truffle butter which honestly did nothing for me. We both ordered two exactly the same steaks medium well done. My boyfriends steak was great pink in the middle and juicy. My steak though was tough chewy and very well done. I Did mention this to the waitress when she asked but couldn’t be bothered to wait for a new one since we waited so long for our mains. Besides she didn’t offer that.. the best thing about this dinner was a surprise birthday cake with a candle and staff singing happy birthday to me. Very lovely and special and the cake was surprisingly very nice. Apart from not offering me a new steak out waitress was very lovely and we did really like her so we still paid the service charge although to be fair the kitchen really messed up that night.

Excellent food, great music and amazing staff, you rock!

Friendly and lively place for preconcert meal, and terrific Caesar Salad

Saturday night dinner great service, good food and lovely ambiance

After trying several less busy restaurants in the city piccolinos was the only one who could offer us a table in an already very busy place. It was a busy vibrant atmosphere, good friendly service. Risotto was cooked to perfection. Although it was very busy it was still easy to hear a conversation, very mixed age. Will definitely return when in Sheffield.

First time visiting yesterday for our 25th anniversary and what a lovely treat it was. The food was beautiful, the restaurant had a lovely atmosphere and the service was exceptional. It was so nice that we got to enjoy our courses and wine without being rushed. We can't wait to visit again. I highly recommend

Amazing environment with lovely staff, Erion, recommend all the amazing food.

Great Italian chain restaurant. Gets busy and service can be slow but grab another glass of vino and chill with some olives - life's too short to stress...Been visiting this place for 15 years - never had a bad meal. Enjoy!

Disappointing evening. Last night wasn’t our first visit to this restaurant. I mention this as it gives broader opinion than a one time visit. Service was ok, can’t fault that. Apart from a wrong drink brought to the table. When sent back and asked for it removed from the bill. Sure enough it was there, but wasn’t paid for. The issue last night (5-10-24) was food quality and quantity. I don’t believe in huge wasteful portions. But I do believe in feeding an adult more than a three year old child. In question is the lasagne one of our friends ordered. When paying £16.50 for a pizza, which is a fair size tbh. You would expect an Italian restaurant to be good at these. Like I said we have visited this restaurant on several occasions. Previously ordering the same food as last night. Diavola pizza, seafood pasta. These were just sub standard to many similar restaurants we have eaten at. I’m not saying don’t go to this restaurant at all. But what I am saying is do expect high prices which we come to expect in this day and age. Yes before you keyboard warriors say we should have checked the prices before going. We already knew what we were letting ourselves in for. I do however expect quality food for quality prices.

Erion the waiter we had the pleasure of having during our meal made the whole experience amazing! Great food and service

Fantastic service and the waiter Erion gave brilliant dating advise to one of our helpless friends 😂

Erion was absolutely fantastic and a great host. 10/10

A lovely restaurant with pleasant staff. We were a party of eight. Greeted warmly. The food and drinks were yummy. Would recommend this place.

Lovely place, thaa lot to Fabio look after, delicious foods

Great experince, amazing food, thanks a lot to to the warm welcome, specially to Riccardo and Vito look after my table all the time

A very enjoyable experience from the greeting to saying goodbye. The staff are absolutely amazing in making you feel so welcome, looked after, knowledgeable about the menu and so friendly. A big thank you to Fabio and Gianni! The ambience in the restaurant is very pleasant. The food was delicious. Always happy to come back to Piccolino!

Great food! perfect service! Waiter erion looked after us nicely!!!

Never been to Sheffield before, 20 of us down for a 2 day work gig. Was quite full on, so we were glad to cut loose in the town when we completed. This place had been highly recommended and we were not disappointed. Possibly one of the best Italian restaurants I have ever experienced. Scallops, Rigatoni Bolognese then a perfectly set pannacotta. Great wine list and amazing service by friendly and beautiful staff. Comp' Lemoncellos to round off the night. Amazing restaurant. Top Business.

A great location and super service. Average pizza and lasagne seemed to lack meat. Expensive for what it was.

Fantastic food, lovely atmosphere. Great for special occasions! Our waitress was very good and gave recommendations as we had never been before.

Not for me won't be going again, no Lasagna in an Italian restaurant on Tuesaday night at 6.30, everytime I visit there's never a full menu.

I loved the calf liver. Hadn’t had this since I was a child many years ago. Burrata salad was also very good We were a large group so service was a bit slow but overall it was a great meal.

This was our second visit after enjoying the food & hospitality earlier in the year. The restaurant was quite busy already at 6pm, & there was a nice atmosphere. We were very well looked after by Erion, who was charming & attentive, without being too fussy, & was able to answer all our questions about the menu. The food was well presented & delicious, yes it was a bit bit pricey, but I don’t think much more so than many of the other city centre eateries. I will definitely be returning.

Me and my girlfriend absolutely love Piccolinos across their locations, they never fail to disappoint. Our server, Erion, made our celebratory evening meal so great. He was very friendly, polite and accommodating us. He’s an especially good singer of happy birthday. Erion, thank you for adding to an already brilliant evening.

wonderful food and service. A great place to enjoy a great meal on our vacation. Highly recommend. Tha Panna Cotta was a great finish to dinner.

A fabulous evening with fabulous Italian food. We will return soon xx

Me and my partner visited this restaurant over the weekend only to have an amazing experience. We were served by Ellie who was very polite, friendly and attentive. The food was spectacular and if we could have had more we would have. Going out to new places all the time I get a lot of different servers but the service we received here will not be forgotten. Thank you Ellie for making a great night even nicer.

Had a lovely meal at piccolinos on Friday night and staff and restaurant were so nice! We were served by Ellie she was very attentive and she made us feel so welcome! Will definitely be returning!

We visited over the weekend for our anniversary and were served by Ellie! The food was lovely and Ellie even surprised us with some limoncello to celebrate, such a kind gesture! We will be recommending to our friends and family!

Had the loveliest time at Piccolino the other night! Ellie was so attentive and made great recommendations, a great asset to the team! Will be coming again

excellent service and excellent food thank's to Gianni zsannett and Eleonor and all the staff

We always return to this wonderful italian restauant because the food is always very high quality and the service We had from rocco , rikki and Gianni, was superb. The food always comes out fresh and piping hot we will return again many times. Maria and Ben.

Great service from Erion + Andrea! Food was great too 👍🏻

A lovely birthday meal. With a special cake and song as a surprise

Zsaneit was amazing excellent service all night from the BELs x

Brilliant food, excellent service (Thankyou Erion + Sanet!!)

Great atmosphere, delicious food, lovely cocktails! Erion was our very helpful and friendly waiter who was ready to help us with everything we needed throughout the evening 😁

Erion was my server and all his recommendations were on point. Food was delicious and just good atmosphere.

Absolutely amazing service from Erion, Rocco and the team. Saluti 🥂

Incredible Sunday sharing platter, great service by Rocco, Erion and all the staff 👍🏻

Absolutely great evening. From very warm welcome at the entrance through delightful food experience. If you’re in Sheffield looking for Italian food at its best - look no further. Starters - Calamari - simply great, Main Dishes - Lasagna, Linguine Al Gamberoni, Casarecce Pollo all so lovely, full of flavour and a decent portion size, absolutely mouthwatering. All the staff are friendly, easy to talk to and so helpful. Our waiter Erion was so nice, looking after us like royalty, and so attentive to our needs, with great recommendations. So lovely, what a fantastic birthday night celebration, and to have the staff appear with a birthday cake and sing, what a night. Well done Erion, we'll visit again soon.

Had a really great time here, both me and my wife loved the food, special thanks to Erion for making our experience that much better, He was very attentive and his recommendations were perfect!

Food was exquisite, Our waiter Erion was incredibly helpful and friendly would definitely come again

Had a lovely meal. Many thanks to Ellie and Fabio for a superb service. Very attentive and friendly. Food was great as well!!

Really nice experience and great food. All staff are friendly, our waiter Erion was especially efficient and couldn't be more helpful.

Tutto molto buono e dopo 20 giorni di cucina itlandesece scozzese, scendiamo a Sheffield per una cena italians. Ottimo il mio calzone così come lasagne e carbonara dei miei figli!!! Andat!

A beautiful place, 100% Italian food. The best thing together with the food are the waiters: very kind, all Italian and particularly kind and good is Erion who was very good and very kind throughout the evening

After 18 days of burgers, salmon, haggis and lambs, finally real Italian food! Thanks to Erion and all the staff! Excellent pizza but also lasagna and carbonara!

Lovely restaurant. We were walk ins on a Saturday and they had space for us! The food was really delicious but be aware that the wine is on the expensive side. It would be a restaurant I would go back to for an occasion. Really lovely place and the staff were nice and friendly. Definitely recommend !!

Yesterday I had the pleasure of tasting the best steak I've ever had in my life. Served with a blue cheese sauce. I'll definitely be back to try other dishes.

Our server, Ramona was very attentive and made sure that we were well cared for during our dinner. She was very friendly and helpful. A very sweet and lovely person. Thanks!

Food was the best we've ever had and we've eaten in many Italians. Staff were spot on and attentive and friendly. My daughters loved their food. Cocktails were delicious and great range of drinks.

Best Italain good we have ever had. Cocktails were amazing and the staff were very attentive The resturant is expensive but so worth it.

Very good Italian food Professional and friendly staff

We have been visiting here since day one but haven't been for a while because of other commitments but now we have stated calling in again. It doesn't seem as busy as it use to be but what place is since Covid? I noticed there are some new staff but some of my favourite staff are still there. We had a lovely meal and a bottle of rose white and were well looked after by Gianni and Zsanett. This is still the best Italian restaurant in Sheffield.

Absolutely lovely meal at Piccolino’s to celebrate my Mother’s birthday. The food was superb and the staff couldn’t have done more to accommodate us. Special thanks to Vito and Ramona for all their help and patience especially with the younger members of our party!! Nothing was too much trouble. Many thanks.

We found Il Piccolino as it seems to be the only restaurant open after 9pm on a Saturday in Sheffield!! It’s a gem! Fantastic food! The service was great and Fabio is the best, so friendly and professional. Totally recommend this place!

Came over the weekend with my family and had fergus look after us all night; food and drinks were lovely. 5/5 would highly recommend

Brilliant night. Gianni, Fabio and Zanetta were brilliant. Probably the best restaurant I have been to in Sheffield in a very long time!! Will definitely come back again soon! Could not recommend more!

Over the past 10 years of visiting this (chain) restaurant we’ve always been welcomed, accepted and very much appreciated. Today, however, it felt like we were a chore, we couldn’t get a table in the terrace although there were lots! We were treated like second class citizens because regulars were sat next to us…I ordered a pizza and the waiting staff said that ‘I couldn’t handle it’ because it was spicy 🌶️- errrrm nope my child could eat it and did toward the end. They wouldn’t swap my child order because it meant costing them cash and the service was generally dreadful. We had to help other guests with information about wc and we had to keep going to the bar for drinks… o know but £160 for 2 pizza and 2 bowls of pasta should get service 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Had a lovely time, staff were great and very polite, would recommend to anyone

Absolutely amazing food and the service provided by Fabio and the team was second to none. Highly recommended

Excellent food and service. Thank you Vito.

Perfect family meal on a Saturday afternoon in July, and lovely service from Ramona.

Always nice to come back to Piccolino’s. A very happy family meal made all the better by our lovely server Ramona & as always a great team in the kitchen.. !
