| - Piccolo Forno is good. The restaurant sits on the first floor of a handsome old building and the dining room is well-appointed and complimentary to exterior.
I received excellent service during my Tuesday evening dinner. I also give Piccolo Forno a few extra points for being a BYOB (just be sure to plan ahead). Piccolo Forno has a great menu, and I would like to try a few more of their dishes (the rabbit, in particular).
I ate a lot at Piccolo Forno: bruschette for the first course, linguine with mussels and shrimp for the main, ice cream for dessert, and coffee. I appreciated the fresh pasta, the sauce was tasty, and mussels tender and flavorful. The bruschette was a poor choice on my part -- the out of season tomatoes were watery and bitter, which, when simply seated atop toast, makes for a bland dish. I enjoyed the dessert (Dream Bomba I believe it was called), but a few fresh, housemade dessert options would perfectly compliment a fresh pasta dinner.
All in all a solid restaurant that I would be comfortable recommending to friends.
