Piccolino

Went here between Christmas and new year. Service very good. Sat on the open balcony. Good atmosphere if a little overpriced

Where to start! Firstly Saturday night and so noisy you are literally shouting across the table. They just have no real clue about running a restaurant or preparing food. We ordered a £60/​$ 100 bottle of Borollo, they served in white wine glasses. When proper red wine glasses that would allow this wine to breath were requested, they had «run out»! So, we were stuck with tiny glasses to drink what was a good bottle of wine in. But apart from them being able to furnish four appropriate glasses, the attitude from the junior manager was terrible and condescending. Appetizer order of prosciutto was served in a soup bowl, I kid you not! A rib in sirloin order was completely wrong with a standard sirloin being presented and my regular sirloin ordered medium rare was so rare I swear it was still breathing. So, food, crap, service crap, pretentious attitude, and not cheap. PLEASE save yourself, go somewhere else.

Went a few months ago and had a very very bland chicken dish with very little chicken. Complained to the waitress who offered is nothing. Had been a happy customer up until that point. However now choose one of the other restaurants in stockton Heath!

We went here for works xmas night out last year and all I can say is it was terrible night out! We arrived early to all sit at the table and have a drink to celebrate and we got turned away because we were 20 mins early, when we came back the table wasnt ready and we waited near the door for an hour. It was xmas and very busy but we still had pre-​booked the table, and should of been on it at 9pm, we got on it at 10.30pm.
The food came out all dried up and only warm like it had been standing for ages! They did however compensate with an 2 extra bottles of wine which they tried to charge us for at the end of the night along with free garlic bread they offered whilst we waited for the table.
Not been back since, and wouldnt recommend it for a xmas night out but maybe it is different throughout the week or on quieter occasions. Thought it was quite over priced for the service we recieved however some staff seemed friendly.

I love the atmosphere in Piccolinos, it is very noisy but I prefer this to a restaurant where everyone can hear your conversation.
The service is quick and the food delicious. Plus Piccolinos is ideally situated in the centre of Stockton Heath making it ideal for the start of a night out.
There is a great choice of wine in the restaurant and the waiters are happy to make recommendations but are not pushy.
The restuarant gets very busy at a weekend so if you want to eat at a decent time make sure you book in advance.

Agree about it being noisy in there but it adds to the atmosphere I think. Staff always try to squeeze us in if we don’t have a reservation. Lovely food — Beautiful restaurant, nice oak furniture. Great wine list. Reliable. Nice handwash in the ladies loo too.

The food is excellent but it is extremely noisy it is difficult to have conversation around the table without shouting
