The word Piccolino means 'little one' in Italian, but there is certainly nothing small about this vibrant restaurant situated in beautiful Virginia Water. Big flavours, bold decor and an energetic welcome shows this buzzing business is one of some stature. Upstairs, appetites are whetted by the display of skilled artisans creating tantalising pizza toppings and perfect pasta in the open kitchen. But that is not all this restaurant is about - it also offers a vast assortment of modern and classic Italian dishes.
Gorgeous grilled asparagus with soft poached egg in herb breadcrumbs and crispy calamari, dipped in a ravishing roast garlic mayonnaise, were both faultless starters. Tempted by the display, a pizza piccante - oozing with mozzarella, adorned with tomato, red pepper and chilli - soon followed. The fish selection is market-fresh and changes daily. My companion enjoyed deliciously flaky cod accompanied by spicy sausage and purple-sprouting broccoli; straight from the sea to his plate. To complete your meal I would heartily recommend indulging in the limoncello cheesecake.
Piccolino is just a stone's throw from Wentworth Golf Club so is perfectly placed for golfers, or walkers after some sustenance following a saunter around the lake at Windsor Great Park. It's also conveniently located for Ascot Racecourse, making it hard for anyone to find an excuse not to visit this lively establishment.
