Reviews for House Piccolo in Salt Spring Island, BC
I ate dinner with my husband and mother in law. They had a very nice Wine selection, the Gravlax appetizer was delicious... although quite small for the price. My dinner entree of Halibut was lovely although slightly oversalted. i have food allergiesand while the waitress was good about ensuring that my food did not contain my allergen they were not able to substitute analternative starch. Instead I received more vegetables . Dessert of Creme Brule was splendid. Most disappointing aspect of HousePiccolo was the uncomfortable chairs, they were so hard that all three of us were fidgeting throughout the whole meal. I woulddefinitely recommend the food but bring a cushion. Read more
This tiny gem bistro is a delightful cuisine find in Ganges, BC. Remember to reserve ahead, it?s worth it. Had the halibut... special, perfectly frightened with heat to be cooked but not over done and expertly seasoned. Chef has the skills. And theartful flourish on the soup is impressive. Ganges Harbor, is a must stop when cruising the gulf islands off the coast, BC. Loveall the shops and there are many good local restaurants. Read more

What an amazing culinary experience. We were so impressed with the food, the wine list and the service. Scallops were near... perfect on both the appetizer and the risotto. Gorgonzola cheese tart was outstanding. We will return when we can. Can't sayenough good things about this meal. Read more
Amazing dinner! Top quality food, presentation, and service. Love the crabcakes, risotto, venison, and goat cheese salad.... Excellent place for a fancier night out. Read more
I would say their food is beyond my expectation, though still rooms of improvement for presentation. Salmon chowder is super,... taste fresh, full of flavor and not too rich. Scallop risoto nearly perfect, especially the scallop, I would say the best.Tenderloin is a very tricky one, but they cook it perfectly, not over cooked not too raw. Dessert also excellent. I was toldthat Hastings House has the best food before I came, but I would say Piccolo might 2 or 3 points above (in 100 pts) on someentrée, especially the seafood. Read more
Very quaint restaurant. Menu is impressive and great selection of wine. Staff is excellent. Highly recommend. T
Outstanding spot for fresh dishes and top quality proteins. The service is fantastic and the ambience is on the cute side. I... shared the crab cakes, scallop risotto, venison, and "catch of the day" which was a halibut. Everything was fresh, house made,and of high quality. I especially loved the scallop risotto which was just so simple yet done so well. It's slightly cheesey,beautifully creamy, and ever so soft. The accompanied scallops were cooked to perfection and had a delicate texture. They camein a Cajun rub which gave it just enough zing to stand out from the creamy risotto. I also had the chocolate timbale which wasessentially a chocolate lava cake served with house made vanilla ice cream in a house made "waffle cup". It is by far the bestlava cake I've had and is sure to satisfy any chocolate lover or sweet tooth! I would absolutely recommend this place and hopeI have the opportunity to come back. Not pictured were the scallop potatoes and creamy dill potatoes which came with thehalibut and venison. The scallop potatoes were a huge hit and I'd highly recommend them. Read more
