Reviews for Piccolo Bistro in Ridgewood, NJ
Today we were going to celebrate my 5-year-old granddaughter in this restaurant, we booked a table for 7 pm in advance, we... warned in advance that we were going to celebrate a children's birthday, but we had to leave the restaurant after an hour and ahalf waiting for service. None of the restaurant staff even apologized for ruining the child's birthday! We will never visitthis restaurant again and will not recommend it to others. Also there was a company celebrating a girl's birthday, when we leftthe restaurant, they said that they had been waiting for service for 2 hours, and they would probably also leave... UPDATE:Theresa – Thank you for your response. We very much appreciated your heartfelt apology and you sending food over this weekend.Everything we had was delicious, and my granddaughter was very happy with her make-up birthday party! Everyone makes mistakes,and we thank you for rectifying the situation in such a polite and decent manner. I am updating my initial review as it isabsolutely earned." Read more
Delightful dinner last night- food was excellent and served piping hot. Great service, new owner very gracious. Outdoor dining... space is set back from the street with a retractable roof that was quickly activated during unexpected downpour. Can’t wait togo back! Read more
Great meal, new owners and was very impressed. Husband and I shared the salad for starters. I had the chicken francese and he... had the fish. Generous portions, friendly service. Don’t forget it is a BYO. Read more
Great food and great service. Portion is very generous! Salmon over risotto is very good. Fresh salmon and smooth tasting... risotto. Piccolo burger is surprisingly good! Short ribs on the bun were tender and juicy. We never had such a unique burger! Itwas raining yet the brand new retractable awning kept us dry while allowing us to enjoy the sound of rain drops….Cannotrecommend this place enough! Read more
We went for dinner and everything was excellent! They are able to accommodate with gluten free diets. The only complaint was... that the service was a little slow - but it was also 4th of July weekend. Every time I’ve been I’ve enjoyed my experience!!And the outdoor seating is covered and pretty cool even in 90 degree temperatures. Read more

Our big family event with 9 people was just perfect! Everyone ordered different dishes and everything, the sea food, lamb and... beef were all delicious. The presentations were beautiful and the service was outstanding. The lovely outdoor space reminded meof my vacation to Barcelona. We really enjoyed a springtime afternoon in the sunshine. We have already booked another event intwo weeks. Definitely recommended to friends! Read more
Totally meh. The service was decent, the new owners are very pleasant and accommodating. The salads are generous. Unfortunately... the entree food was pedestrian, at best— drenched in heavy sauces that are tasteless. The specials were ample, but poorlycooked. The mussels were tasteless, the rolatini terribly overcooked, the flounder soggy and cold! Our party were stunned by howmediocre everything was- not one of us loved anything. The prices— in one word- insanely high for the quality you get. Thespecial for nearly 50 dollars was especially disquieting. Our party of food lovers were very disappointed. I hope you havebetter luck- many people like the place-but don’t be surprised if you go and you are similarly surprised. Read more
