Caffe Piccolo - PAWLEYS ISLAND

For our dinner experience, I would rate the food a 2 out of 5. The service was also lacking, receiving a score of 2. The atmosphere didn't do much to enhance our meal either, landing another 2. One downside was the parking situation, which made it somewhat challenging to find a spot. However, there is a free parking lot available. Overall, I was left disappointed.

I can't express enough gratitude for Chris and the exceptional service we received today. He helped us organize a beautiful baby shower for my daughter-in-law in a private setting. The food, service, and ambiance were simply outstanding. We felt warmly welcomed in a cozy atmosphere, enjoying a lovely family brunch. This place is incredible, and we will definitely return. Thank you so much to you and the chef! We would give it 6 stars if we could. Food: 5, Service: 5, Atmosphere: 5.

We visit this restaurant at least once a year when we're in the area. On Friday night, November 3, we dined on the patio, and everything was perfect. The service was impeccable, and the food was delicious. I ordered bourbon neat in a martini glass, which was a generous pour and featured a great selection. Overall, this is one of my favorite dining experiences. Food: 5/5, Service: 5/5, Atmosphere: 5/5.

Had dinner with close friends on the patio, food was amazing, atmosphere was perfection, cozy and inviting, service outstanding. Highly recommend! Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: House Salad, Saltimbocca

Service was good, otherwise this would be a one star review. I ordered just an appetizer as an entrée, which was a special that night, the stuffed pepper. For $18 I got a single pepper filled with a small amount of meat, eggplant, and topped with melted mozzarella, all on top of a small amount of arugula. No flavor to the dish at all. I do not see how in good conscience a chef can send out a appetizer of that size and ask patrons for $18. Most of the other plates at my table were small for the price. One person I was dining with also said that her meal was unseasoned. If you are reading this and considering this restaurant: do not eat here. There are places elsewhere all along the beach with better value and better food. Dietary restrictions: Not many gluten free options here, which did not affect the review but more options would be appreciated for people with dietary restrictions. Parking: Very tight and small parking lot. Be careful pulling your vehicle into this lot especially if you have a large truck, etc. If you're not comfortable with cars in very close proximity, avoid this place. Probably also difficult for people who have problems driving at night.
