Piccolo Buco by Cooper’s Hawk – Tampa, FL

“We have visit Piccolo twice already and everytime we did, I can definitely say it was always perfect. Service was amazing, very friendly, always checking on us, even though there restaurant was very packed. Food was delicious 😋 we try something different and we love it, we shared between us, so we can appreciate each other Food, portion are moderate. The drinks were delicious and on point. The atmosphere here is great, you can have a table, sit outside on the terrace, or the bar, and they have a space for wine tasting at the entrance if you're not doing dinner 😉 I highly recommend the cheese stuffed zucchini flowers 😋 delicious very delicate and soft and crunchy at the same time, the spicy shrimp and pasta 👌 wow, we combine that with the César salad edges and asked for some crusty bread on the side 😋 yum, pasta is fresh make and the amount of sauce to pasta is great so you are going to be surprised of how delicious and well cooked is everything.. prices are a bit high but at the same time everything is high right now and everything is worthy in this place from the food, the drinks, the service and the atmosphere.”

“New favorite for Italian food. Warm and inviting with 2 wine bars and a full list of wine options. Menu is focused and not too overwhelming with choices. The items on the menu are well thought out with Pizza, Pasta, and Meat entrées with Italian focus. Crispy Calamari was well cooked and tender compared to most other restaurants who serve rubbery frozen Calamari. Both our dishes were absolutely amazing and delicious. Would definitely recommend both.”

“Amazing food. Amazing Service. Amazing atmosphere! Claire was our waitress and she was amazing!! She helped my boyfriend and I with our first time eating at this restaurant. We fell inlove with the Yellow Tomato Bisque!! If you haven’t already please try it!! Definitely will come back.”

“I had such an amazing experience at Piccolo Buco, this place is seriously something special. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels warm, stylish, and inviting with a modern Italian vibe that sets the tone for a great meal. The food was incredible, every dish we tried was packed with flavor and beautifully presented, especially the creamy polenta topped with tender boneless ribs that were rich, juicy, and perfectly cooked, making it such a comforting standout dish. The calamari was crispy and light and not greasy at all, and even the bread and butter to start were simple but done so well. Dessert was the perfect sweet ending, creamy and indulgent with just the right crunch on top. The wine selection really elevates the whole experience and pairs perfectly with the food. Overall this place exceeded expectations with amazing food, great wine, and a beautiful atmosphere, I recommend it 100% and will definitely be coming back 🍝🍷”

“There is a wine bar in the front of the restaurant and an outdoor seating area. We could have sat outside right away but an inside table was a 30 minute wait. I definitely recommend reservations! Our server was amazing! Everything our party ordered was amazingly delicious! They also offered some wine tastings and I actually found 2 that I like - very surprised! Definitely will be back!”
