About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for groups
  • Good for business meals
Situated in the heart of Cheshire and boasting the stunning Tatton Park on it’s doorstep, historic Knutsford is undisputedly one of Cheshire’s prettiest villages. Knutsford’s is an intriguing mix of past and present: think cutting-edge businesses housed within listed buildings, and high-end interior designers next to cosy tearooms. Knutsford is a town of contrasts, which is why it’s the ideal location for Piccolino. Piccolino’s ethos has always been to mix classic with contemporary to create something that truly is the best of both- that’s why Piccolino’s menu offers an array of Italian classics with a distinctly modern twist.
Piccolino, an authentic Italian Restaurant, is a proud fixture of the Knutsford dining scene. Ideally situated in a central village location on High Street, Piccolino in Knutsford boasts an open kitchen, second floor bar area and a substantial rooftop terrace featuring a fully retractable roof, for the ultimate alfresco experience rain or shine!

    My wife and I had an excellent a la carte meal here yesterday evening. The food was delicious - special mention for the calamari , lasagne , roasted cod and tiramisu. The service was efficient and friendly. We will return.

    A warm greeting at the Reception desk, and at the bar whilst I waited for my friend. The service was good at the table too, and the sea bass was exceptionally good quality. There were a couple of large parties in the restaurant but other than a bit of extra noise, there was no impact on the service or experience that we received.
    Piccolino - KnutsfordResponded on 19 August 2026
    What a pleasure to read this. We’re delighted you felt warmly welcomed from the moment you arrived and that the service remained strong throughout a busy evening. Wonderful to hear the sea bass was a highlight too. Grazie, and we hope to welcome you back very soon.

    Food was fantastic, service great. The bill was less than I expected! As we were leaving it did get a bit noisy on the terrace. But we had finished our meal, perhaps if you were looking for a quiet table one of the other areas would be better.
    Piccolino - KnutsfordResponded on 8 August 2026
    Thank you for your lovely feedback. We’re delighted you enjoyed the food, service and value. We also appreciate your note about the terrace and are pleased you had finished your meal before it became livelier. Grazie, and we hope to welcome you back soon.

    Our second time visiting the Knustford branch and another very pleasant experience. As always the food was absolutely delicious and the staff were very friendly and attentive. My only gripe is how over inflated the drinks prices are £77 for a bottle of red wine or £19 for a glass 😳 (no we didn't buy it)
    Piccolino - KnutsfordResponded on 5 July 2026
    Dear Stephanie, thank you for visiting us again. We're delighted you enjoyed another memorable experience and your kind words about our team mean so much. We also appreciate your feedback on our wine pricing and will be sure to share it. We look forward to welcoming you back. Grazie mille!

    Good place to eat in a heatwave. Air con kept it manageable. Food good in parts. Pricey. Good service. Would go back and have the 2 course me use for £25. Choux bun desert was lovely…
