Piccolo Trattoria - Newtown

We had Piccolo Trattoria cater our daughter’s high school graduation party at our house. They were outstanding from beginning to end: the assistance in planning months before to the day of the party where the servers helped me actually enjoy the party! The food was amazing and our guests were extremely happy too. I highly recommend having servers as it was a HUGE help to me. I could actually enjoy the party with our guests.

Courtney was a great server. Always reliable spot in Newtown. Ownership is engaged and quality remains high. Great value.

Veal Parm dish had the Veal OVERCOOKED. Veal Marsala and Manicot was good. Had to ask for bread. Service overall ws good.

After weeding through a multitude of restaurant choices for our anniversary dinner, we selected the Newtown Piccolo; excellent pick of the litter. Menu was extensive, so we needed time to narrow down our final selection. Our waitpersons (especially Greg) were bubbling with personality, and catered to our every whim, offering constructive suggestions which we heeded. The lightly breaded and fried calamari were small but tender, ample in portion (I could only eat half). The house salads were unremarkable, served with a decent balsamic vinaigrette on the side. The shrimp scampi was superb, and Greg had no problem subbing out some lemon risotto for the pasta normally provided. My veal dish was generous in volume and cut up into the crab, asparagus and perfectly cooked fettuccini all slathered in a delicate and ample brandy sauce; we could only finish half of the entrees, so many leftovers to look forward to. Greg wanted our first trip to this place to be a memorable one, so he offered up two free desserts of our choice to complement our special occasion. Again, high quality delectables in the form of a chocolate cake, and and a peanut butter mousse filling in a dark chocolate shell coated with crushed nuts. We WILL be back again, and will hope that Greg (and trainee Nicole) will be working on that night. A most pleasant anniversary meal, moderately priced.

Piccolo's catered my daughter's bridal shower at our home this past Saturday. As always, the food was delicious and the presentation was impeccable. All of the guests, especially those on the groom's side who had not experienced their cuisine, were very impressed. Many guests said it was the most beautiful shower with the best food that they'd ever attended. Piccolo's has been catering events for us for over a decade and never disappoints. I would highly recommend this restaurant and catering service.
