Piccante

Piccante in Bay Ridge delivers a relaxed, casual dining experience with comforting Italian dishes that truly hit the spot. We started with warm bread and butter that practically melted in your mouth — the perfect way to begin the meal. The steak with vegetables was cooked well and packed with flavor. The ravioli in cream sauce was rich, smooth, and absolutely delicious. The pasta with meat sauce was hearty and very filling, while the pappardelle with ragu had a deep, savory flavor that stood out. The pasta with shrimp was slightly on the drier side, but still satisfying and generous in portion. The real standout, though, was the seafood risotto — incredibly flavorful and so filling I couldn’t even finish the plate. Overall, Piccante offers generous portions, comforting flavors, and a la

This has became one of our favorite places to eat at. My Husband and I go there once a week and we either have Mark as our waiter or Nicole as our waitress. They are both personable and make us feel so welcomed and loved.The food is absolutely incredible. We have tried so many of Their dishes as well as desserts, and I love every single one of them. The decor, ambience dim lighting and brick walls just makes It feel so cozy, romantic, and just gives me a happy feeling. This is a must try in Bay Ridge if you haven’t tried them already!

The reason I gave it 4 stars was the price. The pasta prices are reasonable considering they’re homemade and the portion is big but the prices for appetizers I find to be ridiculous. The calamari was $19 and I find that to be a bit much. A lot of the appetizers cost that much which is crazy. For 3 people and 2 alcoholic drinks we paid $156. Overall the food is great.

Finally got a chance to check this place out. The new location is really nice and thankfully is able to hold many more tables. Nice crowd for a Monday night. It’s great to see a local business upgrade to a bigger place in such a tough industry. Food was great, service was great. Looking forward to trying more dishes for sure ! Highly recommend *** update **** After dozens of visits since the initial review I can confidently call Piccante one of my favorites in the neighborhood. Food and desserts are delicious! Mark and Nicole always provide top tier service and make us feel like family. Keep it up!
