What Mark Yundt doesn't like about Piccola Cucina Osteria - Spring St.:

This restaurant offers a mix of experiences, from excellent service to cold waits outside and overcooked food. Despite some negative aspects, such as wait times and temperature issues, the friendly staff and delicious food still make it a recommended spot for Italian cuisine lovers. With a cozy and intimate setting, along with satisfactory portion sizes and a variety of menu options, this restaurant has the potential to be a favorite for many diners. Make sure to try their specialties, like the lobster and shrimp pasta, or the eggplant parmigiana for an authentic Italian dining experience.
