Piccolino Ristorante

I wanted to like this place. First time here, we came on Sunday off hours at about 3pm. Got sat right away - this place is amazing inside, not your typical strip mall restaurant. Very nice inside. Service was quick as we were the only ones there. We ordered the following: Margarita Pizza and Tortellini for my kids. My wife had a version of Spaghetti with gluten free pasta and I had the Shrink Scampi over angel hair pasta. Drinks - Kids had coke, my wife a glass of Reisling and I had water. Kids maybe had 1/3 of theirs, as did my wife. I had most of my Scampi - I was hungry ....BUT it smelled fishy, like it wasn't fresh. My wife tasted it and said right away it wasn't fresh. The angel hair was fresh, but globbed together in the center and tasted doughy. The scampi sauce was "mid". In the end, the wine was good. My wife said when we got in the car - that the place was a 5 (out of 10) and she was being nice. BTW, that meal was $134 plus tip - I gave $20. So $154 for a mediocre meal. We ate at Maggiano's a couple weeks ago for less and had much better food and had dessert!

After my husband got served his dish he mentioned his gluten intolerance. The waiter had the kitchen remake his dinner. It was wonderful! For those missing great Italian because they are gluten intolerant, this is a great choice.
