Piccolo Paradiso - Italian restaurant in Beverly Hills - 150 S Beverly Dr, USA

We we're trying to get on a diferent restaurant and ended up at Piccolo Paradiso. Best choice on all. Food, service and ambiance. Francesco - our server - was remarkable. Definitely a comeback at Beverly Hills!

The best italian restaurant on the block. Food’s taste is incomparable, delicious and intoxicating. Waiters are very nice; beyond great service overall. Ain’t cheap but ain’t overpriced either, just perfect.

Excelente experience food was great I had the grill chicken with vegetables it was amazing Highly recommend…. Service is great

I walked by this restaurant so many times but I never had any food here before. It seemed like one of those neighborhood’s favorite place and I’m so glad I tried it. More than anything, SPAGHETTI NATALE was amazing. It was so simple but packed with flavors and spaghetti was cooked perfectly. It was on the expensive side since the fish was $58, but pasta prices are not like that and I think I will go back a lot more for that pasta alone. It is definitely a classic old school italian place with great service.

What a mediocre meal. Can’t say any food was bad, just nothing great. To start off … a nice lady sat us, was a nice crowd - not too crowded. That’s when it got not great - our server was TERRIBLE - I mean TERRIBLE!!!!! Anyone can see most of my reviews are deserved 5 stars - Piccollo gets 3 star for food and ZERO stars for service!!! We sat and waited and waited and waited - again - not too crowded, but normal nice crowd. Finally waiter came and I was just a bad communicator and could care less. I asked for a taste of a 2 red wines - took forever - he came back with one (the most expensive with such a tiny taste) - then he took forever to come back. I asked for a taste of another - and he came back with a full glass - no taste. I was thirsty so I took it. But again - bad communication he did not listen at all. Then he asked if we want water - didn’t offer filtered house - just brought us a bottle and popped it open and poured - pretty presumptuous! And a fee he did not even ask about - profit bottle. Which I often order - but sure is nice, professional, and respectful when we are at least asked. We waited and waited and waited to place our order - got some bread - THANK GOD WE WERE STARVING!!! The bread was mediocre at best - what Beverly Hill restaurant doesn’t have awesome bread????!! As we ordered, asked about veal and he points to duck - I speak VERY clearly and veal means veal-not duck. Order in, chopped arugula salad, eggplant app, pasta, veal. Over an hour from the start our food came - no check ins from our waiter or anyone - was terrible service - TERRIBLE - we were invisible - and we’re a nice, kind, we’ll dresses polite couple who eats out a LOT! Salad - was ok, not bad, ok. Eggplant app -delicious!!!! Wine - “good”. Aperol - very good/normal. Pasta - homemade - good, not great, but pretty good. Veal - huge portion with old school potato’s and veggies - pretty bad, tasted like Lysol - like canned mushroom sauce - no salt or anything special on veggies - VERY OLD SCHOOL - *Chef - this is Beverly Hills - this meal should be amazing - but was far from it. In summary - food was “ok” - but far from good, service was HORRIBLE AND VERY SLOW. WAITER - please train this guy. Others - look up “service”. Price - very fair, assuming food would have been good. We’ll never get these 2 hours back. If you want a mediocre Italian place like you’d find in a strip mall - you got it. If you want delicious LA/Beverly Hills good and SERVICE - this is not the place.

So many mixed reviews here but we enjoyed our meal. Carbonara was good and the risotto special was also enjoyable. Warm delicious bread and friendly service at 6pm on a weekday. I guess my expectations were not high after reading all the mixed reviews but we thought the restaurant was enjoyable and that’s more than I can say for so many places I have visited recently. Give them a try.

Our family recently dined here for a holiday dinner. The entire experience was exquisite except for one minor yet annoying aspect which I will describe in a moment, but first the positives: Wonderful old world Italy atmosphere, professional top notch service from the maître d, waiter, and bussers. Lovely menu with extensive selections, interesting daily specials, and a comprehensive wine list. Each dish served to our party of five was perfectly prepared, superbly presented, and delicious. With all these superlatives, what could possibly be negative? The menu listed 'Bread' as an option for $1.50. With main course dishes $25 to $45 per person, it seemed like this establishment is nickel-and-diming the patrons by charging for bread. No one in our party asked for bread, yet as soon as we placed our main course orders, the busser showed up with one loaf of bread and oil and vinegar for dipping. So it seems like anyone that dines here automatically receives bread, in our case about 1 1/2 slices per person, and sure enough the final bill included an extra $7.50 for bread that we never asked for. We spent $300, tipped 20%+ (to a well deserved team), and felt a bit fleeced out of an additional $7.50. Not a game changer, but enough of an irritation to prevent me from posting what would otherwise be a five star review.

The desserts are amazing! The price is a bit high, but the food, the service, and the atmosphere are nice. Overall, I had a great time here.
