Piccola Trattoria

Piccola is definitely the best Italian restaurant in Santa Clarita. The food is always fresh and consistent quality. Service is great and a very inviting dining atmosphere. Tonight we started with the Parma Prosciutto with Pecorino Toscano and Caramelized Figs. Definitely recommend as a light starter. For the main course we had the truffle pasta special and the swordfish. Both were outstanding. Dessert was the apple atop puff pastry served with ice cream and I had an espresso to cap the evening. Great service, great food, and a wonderful date night.

Limited to non-existent free parking. Valet only, which is rare in Santa Clarita. Nice restaurant inside and it would be good for a date night. Friendly service. Great presentation. Not the best Italian I have ever had, but it wasn't bad at all. I had the pumpkin and ricotta ravioli and it was a bit bland to me. A little pepper and a dash of salt helped it a bit. My wife had the bolognese and it was better. Next time, I will try the ossobucco, a rack of lamb or veal. We had a cannoli for dessert, and we could not break it with the dessert spoon we were given, but it tasted good. I would say to give it a try and see for yourself. I miss my old Italian place in North Hollywood called Spumante.

Clean, delicious, sophisticated Sicilian Italian food. Yes, I'll be back. Piccola is by far a Treasure! This is an Italian Family business, husband & wife, etc. It's a Modern, classy, Italian spot, affordably priced. The food at Piccola is one of those places that reminds me of cooking for close friends & family at a home holiday, something over the top, special occasion type dishes. Service: If I could give them 10 stars, I would. A very meticulous Team, working in unison. The kitchen staff is by far one of the best! Attention to detail, refined side dishes. This place, the food and all the staff deserve a Michelin Star! Food: No other Italian place within 50 miles compares. It's worth the drive from Westlake Village, West LA, SFV, Bay Cities, Malibu, etc. AND Piccola Trattoria puts those spots like Nonna and Basta to shame. The food in general is very clean, not oily or greasy at all. Just the right amount of salt, and no overburdeny oregano either. The meat they use to make their sauces is lean, so the final result is not fatty. The dough in the pizza was fresh made through fermentation, not store bought yeast. The desserts were savory, not overly sweet or loaded with sugar. They were divine. The meat dishes were cooked to perfection and to your liking, the lamb chops, osso bucco, ribeye. Some of my favs: 1. Pizza w/ mushroom & prosciutto. I think they use Mozz & Sharp Provalone cheese. Yum. 2. The Baby Rack of Lamb Chops medium rare. Omg, tender and juicy. No funky game taste at all. Sauce on the side, so you can dip. 3. Ribeye cooked Medium. Savory, tangy, filling. 4. Get a cannoli! You'll thank me later. Light/flaky shell, perfect savory filling. 5. Oh, the Tartufo Classico was my favorite dessert. Prices are Affordable. I feel like you could easily get a meat dish at this place for much less than the price of a pasta dish or even a pizza at other Italian places. Piccola's menu is evenly balanced between meat dishes, seafood, pasta and pizzas. It's a good, well-rounded assortment that aims to please. Atmosphere is elegant, call it business casual. It's a great date spot, or a place you would bring your closest adult relatives. Kids welcome too! But by no means is this any kind of NY hole in the wall spaghetti with meatballs joint. It's more sophisticated than that. December 2024 Parking is $6 valet, or some street parking is available. If you're a first-generation Italian to the United states, or your parents are straight out of Italy, this is definitely the spot for you! Piccola T is exceptionally great food, at an affordable price, with great service. Honestly, dinner for FIVE people came out to around $300 WITH Wine, shareable appetizers, desserts (plural), 1st and 2nd courses. Good Luck trying to get those prices in Westlake, Malibu, or the West side. I feel like I got my money's worth at this place, and everyone at the table was definitely satisfied, felt full, and we all had a very delicious and enjoyable meal. AND we had leftovers to bring home. I came here once in 2018, and because of the pandemic and other reasons, couldn't get back until just now. But I will definitely visiting here more often for sure! Please give this place a try if you're looking for good Italian food at Great prices, without the hype. And please tell them I sent you. Cheers!

We loved all the appetizers we had - calamari, mussels and eggplant parmigiana. They’re all amazingly delicious! The lamb was fabulous as well. Lasagna and pepperoni pizza were ok. The NY steak was disappointing. We ordered medium rare but it came out medium (too cooked for our liking) and was “swimming” in balsamic sauce, but appreciate the generous serving of arugula salad. We dined to celebrate my husband and daughter’s birthday, there was complimentary cannoli with birthday candle. That was a sweet touch! Service was amazing and all the waiters are attentive.

The first time here always passed by but never made it it in, I'm glad I did. The food was amazing as well as the service. The parking is not too great, but they do have a valet for I believe $6. The menu was great choices for food and wine.

This Italian restaurant makes me yearn for my hometown in central NY! Authentic feeling with a very full menu to choose from. We ate in the bar area on a very busy Saturday evening. My husband had a beautiful plate of linguine and clams, the flavor was distinct and excellent. I had the lobster half-moon ravioli in a really nice butter sauce. The spinach salad was also quite good. Special mention of the warm bread with traditional olive oil & balsamic available for dipping. All the food was served at the right temperature, service was truly excellent, from the valet, to the hostess to the bartenders and servers. For dessert, we brought home Tiramisu and we both agreed it was the best we have ever had! We look forward to returning for another wonderful dinner...soon! Recommend reservations.

One of my favorite local spots. I keep coming back, with family and friends. Everything is great.

I love Piccola Trattoria Always delicious food and great experience. The Chilean Sea bass is cooked to perfection. The expresso Martinis are so deliciously dangerous! I recommend reservations and Valet parking. 10 out of 10 definitely recommend this place.
