Piccolo - Stockport

Food was ok but they have recently changed the menu and it is not as good as it used to be. One thing that has changed is that they have started to add a service charge. I always leave a tip but find it really rude when they decide how much and add a service charge. They didn’t even tell us I noticed on the bill. For that reason I will not be returning.

As always, perfect tasty food, friendly staff that are always attentive and nothing is too much, thankyou for helping us ladies celebrate our friends birthday

I decided to stop by for dinner on a whim. I was staying nearby before my morning flight. I received a warm welcome and the decor was nice. Despite it being quiet on a Sunday evening, the atmosphere was warm and cozy. The staff was lovely and the food was excellent. I ordered a carbonara and a delicious roast beef. There was a mistake made regarding a charge for a bottle of wine instead of a glass, but it was promptly corrected and deducted from the bill. Overall, it was a lovely experience and I hope the restaurant continues to do well.

We booked a table for lunch to celebrate our friends birthday. We knew the management had changed hands but thought it should still be good. We studied the menu and each of us decided on what to have. For my mains I chose the Salmon with fresh Clams on a bed of Mediterranean vegetables the others made their choices and we ordered drinks. When my main course arrived I thought this looks really good. The Salmon was a decent sized fillet and the vegetables were plenty. After I had been eating for a while I couldn’t find any Clams on my plate. I caught the attention of a the waitress and told her there were no Clams with the Salmon as it said there would be in the Menu. She said she would ask the Chef why they hadn’t been included. She returned to tell me they are there but they are powdered Clams that is why I couldn’t see them!! ……..powdered clams?? Is there such a thing. On the menu it stated fresh Clams!! I was so annoyed I gave up. It was an insult to anyone’s intelligence. I finished the Salmon. Didn’t order anything else, paid my share of the bill and was glad to leave. There was no point in making a scene by spoiling the birthday lunch for my friend. Never again Piccolo. No chance of any recommendations from our group.

First of all I must say the restaurant was absolutely freezing, in fact it was that cold most diners kept their coats on. The food was not up to the usual standard and the service was poor, I wouldn’t rule out returning cos this is the first bad experience we have had there. Finally on checking the bill when we returned home we had been charged for 2 cokes we hadn’t ordered nor received
