Piccolo - Monterey (CA)

5 /5 Brad Jewett: What an absolute gem of a place right near fishermans wharf. The atmosphere was extremely pleasant, the staff and chef was so incredible. They treat you as if your family as soon as you walk through the door. The food was extremely welo cooked and burst with flavor. The cubano was better than any cubano i had in florida, the pork belly panini was cooked to perfection, and the baked cheese canoli/ziti was simply amazing. If you are smart, you will give the place a try. You wont regret it. I see this place going big places.

5 /5 R DM: We went here due to the solid reviews and they didn’t disappoint. The food was amazing, delicious, the staff was accommodating and very friendly and the atmosphere inside and outside with the harbor view was beautiful. I especially loved the Pisa (flatbread), I went two days in a row, and they put a special twist on them, and both days were amazing. Love the fresh ingredients and the gluten free or less gluten options. Their clam chowder was also amazing and their sandwiches! Highly recommend!!!

5 /5 Christine Restaneo: Such a great little find by the harbor. Piccolo was a perfect stop for coffee while we were checking out the slips near the water. I had a latte and my husband Ray had a white chocolate mocha—both were excellent, and you can tell they put real thought and care into their coffee. We also enjoyed some biscotti, which were wonderful. The staff was warm and friendly, especially Raul, who took great care of us. Even though it was too early for us to eat, the Italian menu looked authentic and inviting, and we’ll definitely return to try it. It’s a bit off the beaten path, right down by the water, which makes it a special spot. Relaxing, welcoming, and well worth the stop. Highly recommend if you’re in the Monterey harbor area.
