This tiny gem was the high light of our NYC trip. Great Italian food. No bar, but you can bring your own wine! Met the kitchen staff and they let us take pics.

I was concerned about some of the reviews right before mine but I'm glad we went. The chicken parm was great. Sauce with the pasta was good too. Would definitely go back.

Comically small space, we walked out smelling like the burnt oil from the kitchen, food was good , especially the artichoke ravioli , the tiramisu was super lite and fluffy might be one of the best I have ever tried (excellent ), very unique spot. $330 including a healthy tip got us 3 apps, 2 pasta's , 3 main's, 3 desert's , 3 coffees so I would say it was very well priced for NYC. BYOB.

Went to Piccola Strada for a girls not out and it did not disappoint!! The service was immaculate and the food even more so. We eat out in the city a lot and this is by far one of the best place I’ve tried. Dishes I recommend to try would be the lobster ravioli, artichoke ravioli and the caesar salad app. But you can’t go wrong ordering anything on the menu. We will be coming back again!

Not only is the food here exceptional, but the owners are some of the most incredible people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting in NYC. Mario helped coordinate a dinner for 20 of my closest friends while Esperanza cheffed up fantastic food the entire night. Their fried zucchini, lobster ravioli, cannolis, and tiramisu are to DIE FOR. This has become a staple for my friends, family and I. It feels like eating at your grandmother’s home.

Had the best time. We got the fried zucchini as an appetizer, and then the chicken parmigiana and the Braciolette di Manzo. Both great, I personally preferred the chicken parm which was fantastic. Our server, Willy, was so sweet and accommodating and we had a great time with him. It’s BYOB with a 5$ cork fee which is great.
