Piccola Strada

Very very (very) tiny Italian place (so tiny that you have to walk through the miniscule kitchen to get to the bathroom, and you should be prepared to leave with you clothes/hair/jacket/etc. strongly smelling like fried foods). Came here as part of a group that does wine tastings because of their $5 corkage BYO policy, which is a big plus in this city, but our tight table of 6 took up almost half of the entire restaurant. I ordered the Mozzarella In Carrozza, which was a lot of bread, very little cheese, and very dry, as well as the Carciofini Al Forno (baked artichokes hearts with parmesan cheese and olive oil), which was also dry and had almost no flavor. For my main course, I ordered the Ossobuco Di Manzo, which was a definite upgrade from the appetizers - rich, meaty, and very good. If you're looking for a neighborhood BYO spot with average food and don't mind a claustrophobic space, then head over to Piccola Strada, but definitely not a place to go out of your way to get to.

i got the cannolis and tiramisu and i know that isn’t much but they were definitely the best cannolis and tiramisu i had ever had. this place is amazing and i will definitely be going back and trying the meals they have, when i get the chance.

Very nice server, great cook and good food
