Piccolino Chester brings a slice of Italy to the heart of this historic city, offering an effortlessly stylish and welcoming dining experience. Situated on Pepper Street, the restaurant features an open kitchen, where the theatre of Italian cooking comes to life, a sophisticated cocktail bar, and a carefully curated wine boutique. As the proud home of Chester’s very first Prosecco bar, Piccolino provides the perfect spot to raise a glass, whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply toasting to la dolce vita. For those who prefer to dine under the open sky, the alfresco terrace offers a charming setting to enjoy authentic Italian flavours with friends and family.
The menu at Piccolino Chester is a love letter to Italian cuisine, featuring a selection of antipasti, pasta, and pizza made with the finest ingredients. Starters include the much-loved Fegatini Alla Crema, a rich and indulgent dish of chicken livers with marsala cream, grapes, and pine nuts, served with sourdough. For something lighter, the Bruschetta Classica, with vine-ripened tomatoes, garlic, and fresh basil on toasted sourdough, is a simple yet delicious choice. Meanwhile, the Arancina, crispy saffron and pea risotto cones with spicy ve-duja and mozzarella, offers a satisfying bite.
For pasta lovers, Piccolino partners with Ligouri Pastificio to bring authentic pasta made from 100% Italian durum wheat, creating perfectly textured dishes like the Linguine Ai Gamberoni, featuring king prawns in a rich tomato and chilli sauce, and the comforting classic Penne All’arrabbiata, which packs a punch with slow-cooked tomato, chilli, and garlic. Gluten-free pasta alternatives are also available for those with dietary preferences.
The pizza selection follows traditional Neapolitan methods, with a special biga dough crafted by their master baker. Options include the fiery Diavola, topped with spicy salami, ‘nduja, burrata cream, and red chilli, and the indulgent Capricciosa, featuring Italian roast ham, chestnut mushrooms, and crispy Leccino olives. Vegan diners can enjoy the truffle-infused Zucchine Al Tartufo, showcasing courgette ribbons and vegan mozzarella-style cheese.
With vegetarian-friendly options, wheelchair accessibility, free WiFi, and private hire availability, Piccolino Chester is an ideal choice for intimate dinners, lively celebrations, and everything in between.
