Piccola Ristorante Pizzeria Napoletana — Restaurant in London

WORST “Italian” RESTAURANT EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE – A COMPLETE JOKE

If I could give this place zero stars, I would. Actually, I’d give it negative stars for wasting my time, money, and appetite. This isn’t a restaurant — it’s a sad parody of one.

We walked in and were greeted with… nothing. No “hello,” no smile — just a miserable man muttering “any table” like we were interrupting his nap. He flung menus at us like frisbees. Honestly, I’ve had warmer welcomes at the DMV.

The arancini looked like they were dredged in something scraped off a school cafeteria floor. Bland, soggy, tasteless garbage. The calamari? An overpriced pile of frozen rubber, dumped next to a sad handful of wilted lettuce. No seasoning, no dressing, no clue. I wouldn’t serve that to a stray dog.

Then came the pizza. If the “chef” — who was loudly yapping on his speakerphone while cooking — had actually paid any attention, maybe the dough wouldn’t have been RAW. Raw. Inedible. Toppings were basically nonexistent, and the so-called porcini mushrooms were clearly frozen, tasteless, and possibly a health risk. Calling this “pizza” is an insult to Italy — hell, it’s an insult to cardboard.

A greasy, late-arriving side of courgettes showed up after we’d nearly finished everything else. They tasted only of burnt fryer oil and sadness. And the Coke? Just a warm can slapped down on the table like they were doing us a favor.

Oh, and the ambiance? Screaming in the kitchen, chaos in the dining area — it felt like we’d wandered onto the set of a budget Kitchen Nightmares knockoff.

This place has supposedly been open since 2017 — I’m convinced it’s a front for something, because there’s no way it’s surviving on food or service. Maybe blackmail? Witchcraft?

Avoid this disgrace at all costs. I’d rather eat gas station sushi off...

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Piccola, and it was truly a top experience . From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The staff, especially Salvio and the manager Salvatore were incredibly welcoming, attentive without being intrusive.

Every dish we ordered was thoughtfully prepared and delicious. The flavours were fresh and perfectly balanced. Highlights included the seafood pasta which was served en papillote!

The overall vibe was relaxed with family atmosphere, making it perfect for a casual night out and staff at Piccola a definite major plus which made my visit a convivial one — I can’t wait to come back and try more from their menu!

Highly recommend to anyone looking for a relax dining experience with good food and...

The food was great—my friend had the minestrone soup, which was comforting and well-seasoned, and I had a white sauce pizza that I really enjoyed. The crust was very, very thin, which I personally prefer, and because of that, it was light enough for one person to eat the whole thing without feeling too full.

Easily one of the best brownies I’ve ever had. It was served warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top, and the contrast between the hot, fudgy brownie and the cold, creamy ice cream was just incredible. Unfortunately, I didn’t take any pictures because I just indulged in it straight away.

Overall, it was a pleasant experience. The service was decent, and the atmosphere was nice. I’d consider coming back, especially for...
