Great food, atmosphere and service. We were celebrating a birthday and couldn’t have been happier with the experience. We got the calamari and tempura shrimp & eggplant appetizer. Ossobuco with polenta & duck breast with risotto as entrees. To end the night a slice of carrot cake. The portions were very generous and since we were saving room for cake, we had things boxed up to take home. We will definitely be returning.

This was my first time coming here. The food was so good and everything was hot and fresh. The staff was amazing and the chicken Alfredo we got was the best we ever had. We ended up taking half of it home cause of the large portions we got. We will definitely be going back.

We had a wonderful dinner and experience here. We both enjoyed the food (Risotto Balls appetizer, Chicken Parm, and Bolognese) and the desserts (Tiramisu, Cannoli, and an espresso with cream). A great spot for a date night or a family special occasion. We will definitely be back. Elegant but comfortable & atmosphere. Our waitress was great. Note: I believe this was “real” food with home made sauces made from real vegetables... so it will NOT be like Olive Gar. or other places that just reheat frozen bags of mass produced food. It will look and taste different, and it will be more expensive. I read some negative reviews here ... but this is a local place where they seem to care about making their customers happy. If you’re not happy with something - tell them and I bet they would do their best to fix or improve the situation.

We were greeted and guided to our table right away. The outdoor setting is spacious and comfortable. The young server was very courteous and explained their specials of the night well. We ordered the special Tuscan Seafood pasta and Catch of the day. The food came quickly. The pasta had plenty of clams, mussels and crab meat on top! I was very pleased that it was nice and hot. I found that a lot of restaurants serve food luke warm, but their dishes were hot! Everything exceeded our expectations. We will go back there soon

I found another hidden gem. The service was professional and the food was symphonic. The mussels were cooked to perfection and had just the right kick. I truly enjoyed the chicken piccata which I paired with the gavi. The meal ended beautifully with tirimisu. I will definitely be back to enjoy another delicious meal.

With a cozy atmosphere and some of the best Italian food in the region, IL Piccolo Morso was a great hit with our extended family dinner. Homemade ravioli and pasta. Everyone enjoyed their food, the owner checked in on us, and our waiter Phillip was a true delight. I got the seasonal special, Tuscan seafood. Delicious! The wine and cocktail selection is excellent. Very clean with an upscale vibe.

We went for our wedding anniversary dinner. The service and food were very good. The restaurant is small but nicely decorated and has a good atmosphere. Philip our server was very helpful and attentive and answered our questions regarding the menu. We had calamari for an appetizer. My husband had the lasagna and I had the Papardelle Bolognse with red sangria. We ordered carmel cheesecake to go and Happy Anniversary was written on our to go container.
