Right in the heart of Knutsford’s charming high street, Piccolino Knutsford has long been a favourite among locals and visitors alike. With its open kitchen, stylish second-floor bar, and an all-weather terrace, it’s the perfect spot to soak up a slice of Italian life – rain or shine. Whether you're popping in for a coffee, a leisurely lunch, or a celebratory dinner, this much-loved restaurant delivers a taste of Italy with a touch of Cheshire charm.
The menu is a celebration of Italian cooking at its finest – long, varied, and packed with dishes that showcase the very best ingredients, sourced directly from trusted producers. Kick things off with a sharing platter like the Antipasti Di Montagna, an irresistible spread of artisan salami and cheeses, including Parma ham, spicy Spianata Calabrese, and creamy ricotta, all served with freshly baked bread and tangy balsamic onions. Seafood lovers will want to dive into the Fritto Misto, a generous selection of lightly fried calamari, king prawns, and red mullet, perfect for sharing (or not, we won’t judge).
For something heartier, the Osso Buco Alla Milanese is a standout – slow-cooked veal shin with saffron risotto that’s rich, comforting, and packed with flavour. Or try the Fegato Alla Veneziana, a Venetian classic of pan-fried calves liver with pancetta and creamy mashed potato. And if you've still got room, the Semifreddo, a chocolate and amaretto iced parfait with cherry molasses and hazelnut brittle, is the perfect sweet ending.
Piccolino Knutsford isn't just about great food – it's also an ideal venue for private events, whether you're celebrating a milestone or just fancy a special night with friends. With free WiFi, baby-changing facilities, and a welcoming atmosphere, it’s a go-to destination for every occasion.
