Overall impression: Fabulous salad, good pasta, casual atmosphere. Perfectly lovely.

I have driven by Piccolo's every day for years. To some extent it had blended into the background of my commute, and just never gotten on the list of places to try. Finally we went on a late May Thursday evening. We wanted pasta (post-dental surgery easy to eat for me), but did try few other places before Piccolo's. Those other places were full up on graduation parties, which turned out to be fine because Piccolo's is really quite good. I should not have overlooked it.
We sat in the front room, next to the window. There was a group of men at the bar, and various groups of women dining together at the tables. Casual and comfy. We started with the apple/cranberry salad. The almonds on it were smoked, giving them a strong and unique flavor (yum...). Eric had pasta with chicken and I had a spinach pasta, stuffed with cheese and served with artichoke hearts and vodka sauce. Also yum. Tasty and extremely rich.
Dinner is mid-range, not inexpensive. But the quality is good. Our server was very nice and the atmosphere is charming. We will add it to our pasta rotation.
