Piccolo Buco Roma - set mere steps from Rome's famed Trevi Fountain - is where Cooper's Hawk Founder, Tim McEnery, first discovered Chef Luca Issa and his wonderful pizza. The ingredients were deceptively simple: creamy, indulgent mozzarella mingled with a bright and bold tomato sauce. But it was the extraordinary, tall crust - crisp on the outside yet cloud-like at the center - that won his heart. He couldn't wait to introduce America to a pizza this special!

    How many ways can you say “Outstanding”? Everything was super from the server Sophie, pacing of the service, the delicious taste of each entrée to the dessert. It was a great event for our party of six adults. The garlic rolls and a Ceaser salad were a perfect start. Then came a cheese covered large Lasagna entrée which was nice and hot, and had great taste. About half of it will be another great Italian meal tomorrow. Spaghetti with meat balls and Angel hair pasta were a hit with my wife. Other entrees of shrimp and mussels’ pasta, chicken parmesan, and pork slices were all rated delicious. Canola dessert finished off our meal. Two entrees and two glasses of house wine made my bill $86. Everyone said to add Scarpino’s in Lutz to our favorite restaurant list.
