Piccolino - Quakers Friars - Bristol

I had been told this restaurant was good and it sure was!

With amazing green decor and low lighting, Piccolino's was a real treat to sit in, it felt very trendy but not too much so you felt uncomfortable and it was very warm with lovely smells coming from the open kitchen.

When seated I think we were served by 3 different people which was fine as everyone seemed to have a role, man for drinks, waitress, front of house, everything ran very smoothly.

The menu is not that large but it was so hard to choose our dishes, I settled on Pollo Valdostana. Breaded & filled chicken, fontina cheese, ham & peperonata and Andy had Vitello alla Milanese. Pan fried, breaded veal escalope, spaghetti, tomato & basil.  Both dishes were amazing! mine was so creamy, crispy and salty but was balanced perfectly by sweet peppers,  Andy's was fresh tangy crispy and well seasoned and i must say both portions were HUGE!! 

I was very surprised and very pleased with the quality and value, although 2 of the most expensive items on the menu the size and taste was worth it and we didn't feel ripped off!

There was no room for pudding sadly which sounded nice but I will defiantly be going back!

one not to miss!
