Tucked into the heart of Mineola, Piccolo’s is a warm, family-owned Italian restaurant known for its classic recipes, friendly service, and intimate, old-school atmosphere. It’s the kind of place where the staff knows your name, the portions are generous, and the food always hits that comforting, home-cooked note.

Inside, the vibe is cozy and traditional—white tablecloths, soft lighting, and rustic touches that make it feel like a hidden gem straight out of Little Italy. Whether you're there for a casual dinner, date night, or a quiet meal with family, Piccolo’s offers a setting that’s both relaxed and refined.

The menu focuses on timeless Italian-American favorites. The Chicken Parmigiana is tender and perfectly breaded, topped with melty mozzarella and house-made marinara. The Linguine with White Clam Sauce is a standout—garlicky, briny, and full of flavor. Other must-tries include the Veal Saltimbocca, Eggplant Rollatini, and Shrimp Fra Diavolo for those who like a little spice.

Pastas are cooked al dente, sauces are rich but well-balanced, and every dish comes out hot, fresh, and generously portioned. Don’t skip the Stuffed Artichoke or Baked Clams to start, and if you have room, their Tiramisu and Cannoli make a sweet, satisfying finish.

Piccolo’s has a modest wine list with Italian and California selections that pair well with the menu, and while it’s not a bar scene or nightlife destination, the restaurant stays lively with regulars and weekend diners who know where to find a great meal.

For classic Italian comfort in a no-fuss setting, Piccolo’s in Mineola is the kind of place you return to again and again—for the food, the hospitality, and the feeling that you’re part of the family.
