Piccola Trattoria

The most authentic Italian food you’ll ever have, it is a restaurant you should try!!! Our waiter was so sweet. For our appetizer we had the Prosciutto e Melone, Prosciutto e Funghi and it was exquisite, it was the best prosciutto I’ve ever tasted, it was fresh! Our entree’s were amazing as well. For dessert we had Tiramisu ,Cannoli and the best Cappuccino you’ve ever had and trust me I’ve had many from various coffee shops. I imagine the food is as authentic as it is in Italy. Make sure you make reservations and they have valet parking for only $6.00. I can’t wait for the next special occasion to have a reason to come back.

One of the classiest restaurants in Santa Clarita is conveniently located right off of Sierra Hwy in Canyon Country. This is a top-notch dining establishment - on par with anything "down below" in West Hollywood or Beverly Hills. They have indoor and outdoor seating options, valet parking,, and the best staff I've encountered in a very long time. The food is awesome, the wait staff is very attentive, and the bar staff is on point. I will definitely be returning here in the future. I give this restaurant a well-deserved Five-Star rating..

We'd been looking forward to trying Piccola Trattoria...the website and reviews make it, and its sister restaurant look like the nicest Italian restaurants we have in the Santa Clarita Valley. The experience was good, the service and ambiance excellent, but the food itself didn't quite live up to what we were hoping for. I enjoyed the glass of red wine I got, a smooth Italian the waiter recommended. He was spot on with his choice and it went down the way I wanted. My wife had a peach bellini. She didn't taste as much peach in it as she would have liked and I agreed it was not as present as one would want in a bellini. We shared 2 appetizers...the Misticanza salad (which my wife asked for light dressing or dressing on the side...there was too much dressing on it) and the Cauliflower Soup special, which was super tasty. For our mains, my wife had the Pomodoro pasta but with gluten-free pasta instead of the angel hair it's usually served with. Kudos to Piccola Trattoria for offering a gluten free pasta...this was a basic dry pasta but it was cooked right (it's super easy to mess up gluten-free pasta.) The sauce itself was light...maybe because of the thicker Gf penne noodles whereas the pomodoro usually comes in a thinner angel hair...there wasn't enough of the sauce and it wasn't particularly amazing, but serviceable. I ordered the Tagliolini con Tartufo Frescho off the specials menu...it's a house-made tagliolini pasta with a thick cream sauce and, probably what made it the most expensive item on the menu was the shaved truffle the server added tableside. The house-made pasta was perfect and exactly the right texture and taste you want from fresh pasta, but overall the dish was super-dense and rich. The truffles didn't have or add much flavor to the dish and the sauce itself was more cream than "mushroom and truffle fondue" that the item description said. I wish I hadn't ordered this. We shared the molten pistachio cake for dessert. We liked this, the cream pistachio filling and moistness of the cake, along with the fresh berries an whipped cream were a delight to eat. The website menu makes this place look like classic Italian food with a modern flare...our experience was a very nice fine dining, classic Italian restaurant experience with food that overall could have been better. Could have been an off night for the food, or just our particular selections...we'd give it another shot because it's such nice place, but the food, for us, is going to have go up a notch before we match it with more stars.

My first time visit to this piccola in city of Santa Clarita. Loved the authentic style of Italian food specifically my first time trying risotto and it's delicious. The margherita pizza is pleasingly appetizing with each bite. Trying for best pizza in the town is quite competitive as we have many pizza options but so far this is the best I had in SCV. Spinach ravioli didn't met my expectations but still has that flavor . The desserts we tried are chocolate lava cake with vanilla which created wonders with each spoon of that melted chocolate to relish and gloat the amalgamation of chocolate and vanilla. The Tiramisu is on par with taste but not as good as the other. Only con here is bit expensive everything. Had to pay $6 for valet parking and ofcourse expensive menu.

Beautiful European style decor, excellent food, handsome server's, clean, great selection of delicacies and wine. Valet parking. Indoor and outdoor dining in a garden setting. Upscale clientele. Prices range from $7.50 for soup, the teens $ for appetizers , $20s to $30s for entrees. Dessert prices I didn't see. Tasted the terramisu: superb!
