Piccolo - Stockport

First of all I must say the restaurant was absolutely freezing, in fact it was that cold most diners kept their coats on. The food was not up to the usual standard and the service was poor, I wouldn’t rule out returning cos this is the first bad experience we have had there. Finally on checking the bill when we returned home we had been charged for 2 cokes we hadn’t ordered nor received

Food was ok but they have recently changed the menu and it is not as good as it used to be. One thing that has changed is that they have started to add a service charge. I always leave a tip but find it really rude when they decide how much and add a service charge. They didn’t even tell us I noticed on the bill. For that reason I will not be returning.

I would like to say a big thank you for making our Christmas Day a fantastic day as all your staff, food, service and atmosphere was superb. There was no rush and everyone was so relaxed. The food was hot and plenty of it. The children didn’t want the staters so the restaurant made them garlic bread which they throughly enjoyed. The chocolate dome for pudding was so delicious! I would definitely return. Thank you so much!

As always, perfect tasty food, friendly staff that are always attentive and nothing is too much, thankyou for helping us ladies celebrate our friends birthday

We booked a table for lunch to celebrate our friends birthday. We knew the management had changed hands but thought it should still be good. We studied the menu and each of us decided on what to have. For my mains I chose the Salmon with fresh Clams on a bed of Mediterranean vegetables the others made their choices and we ordered drinks. When my main course arrived I thought this looks really good. The Salmon was a decent sized fillet and the vegetables were plenty. After I had been eating for a while I couldn’t find any Clams on my plate. I caught the attention of a the waitress and told her there were no Clams with the Salmon as it said there would be in the Menu. She said she would ask the Chef why they hadn’t been included. She returned to tell me they are there but they are powdered Clams that is why I couldn’t see them!! ……..powdered clams?? Is there such a thing. On the menu it stated fresh Clams!! I was so annoyed I gave up. It was an insult to anyone’s intelligence. I finished the Salmon. Didn’t order anything else, paid my share of the bill and was glad to leave. There was no point in making a scene by spoiling the birthday lunch for my friend. Never again Piccolo. No chance of any recommendations from our group.
