Review


I could not have been happier with my meal at piccolo forno! Gluten free options included spaghetti, fettuccine, and pene pasta, as well as any of the pizzas. I ordered the carbonara and my friend ordered the fettuccine alfredo. I haven't had fettuccine alfredo in so long and the first bite almost made me cry. Every dish I tried here was absolutely heavenly. Our server seemed to be at least a part owner, and he was absolutely perfect, not only charming but KNOWLEDGEABLE and ATTENTIVE. When he brought out every one's dishes he explained that the kitchen had accidentally made my carbonara sauce with glutenated pasta water, and that they were remaking it. He brought me a free salad while I waited (I didn't know that ceaser salad could taste so good). I would much rather have the mistake be caught than to be unknowingly glutenated. My carbonara was very rich and made with high quality ingredients. I also had some of the affagado and the pannacotta, which were orgasmically almost religiously good.
