We had the best service and all the food was delicious. The food is very worth the price. Our waiter was fabulous. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

This place was only a secret to me and my friend. Wow, what a find, and then I learn my other friends had not shared it with me. Great piano and sax player at the bar, or you can stay at your table for the evening and enjoy conversation with friends or your date and have the music in the... More

Arlington has a lot of chain restaurants, so it is wonderful to have one that is not that is so good! From the moment one walks into the restaurant you know it will be a good experience. Everyone is greeted in friendly and gracious manner. I love the fact that you can actually hear your companions' conversation without talking too... More

This is my absolute favorite Italian restaurant in Arlington. They have amazing service, ambiance, and food. I always get a starter caeser salad, veal marsala, and sometimes dessert. I cannot rave enough about their marsala wine sauce. They also have an excellent wine selection!

Dining Italian in the US is typically quite different from the real thing - both in food and ambience. I once asked a chef-owner from Tuscany why this was and he said that he and other Italians changed the style of their cooking to suit American palates. Now I recognize that I don't expect the real thing any more but... More

Have not found many good Italian restaurants in Texas. Steak and Mexican tend to dominate and there is not much in the way of good Italian here (well for a guy from the New York area anyway). Piccolo Mondo is an exception. Well prepared food, comfortable seating, good service and a nice atmosphere for dining. In the Whole Foods mall... More

My colleague and I had dinner here during a business trip to the Arlington area. In an area with lots of chain restaurants, this local restaurant was a nice option. It's a bit of a quirky place -- you enter into the lounge, where there is a piano player. The lounge was pretty empty. However, the restaurant itself was full,... More
