About Piccolino
In just a short time, Piccolino has become one of the most popular restaurants in the city thanks to an unmistakably charming atmosphere and a consistently crowd-pleasing menu by chef Moshe Avdiel.
Endless charm
Located in the historical downtown Jerusalem neighborhood of Nahalat Shiva, the renovated space is the perfect representation of the city — Jerusalem stone walls all around, a charming terrace seating area, live music every day, a friendly staff and much more.
“When we opened Piccolino, we envisioned a warm, accommodating, Jerusalem-style atmosphere, with excellent, joyful service for all guests,” owner Nava Bibi says
The menu
The menu at Piccolino combines Italian simplicity with uncompromising quality. Chef Moshe Avdiel insists on using only the freshest ingredients. The restaurant emits mouthwatering aromas of fresh Italian baked goods, prepared on-site, as if to hint at the building’s original function as the neighborhood bakery.
When you visit, don’t miss Piccolino’s special white pizza, prepared with mozzarella cheese and without tomato sauce; arancini – risotto balls with mushrooms and mascarpone cheese, covered in bread crumbs; special, delicious soups, particularly the artichoke soup or barramundi fish cooked in fish stock, saffron, orange juice, garlic and capers.
The desserts are the sweetest indulgence than you can imagine. Try the enormous platter with an endless selection of sweet surprises – Little Switzerland, Chocolate Trio, Tiramisu and much more.
Daily Concerts at Piccolino
The daily live music is especially enjoyable, with light classical music over lunch from 12:00 to 2:00 pm, and a lively array of genres in the evenings from 8:00 to 10:00 pm, ranging from Jewish ethnic and Israeli music to pop, jazz and folk.
Events at Piccolino
Piccolino hosts birthday parties, bar/bat mitzvah celebrations, bris ceremonies, and unique company events ranging in size from 35 to 120 people. Important meetings can be held in the courtyard or in one of our private rooms.
Additional Information
Piccolino is certified Mehadrin kosher.

MoreYou can’t see it from the street, but this place on a Thursday evening is huge, packed full, and buzzing with energy and music. This is a dairy kosher restaurant so there is no meat on the menu, but the pastas and pizzas are really good, and the staff is both friendly and well trained to handle the amount of tables they have. The live music is a great addition, and we had a great time overall. We paid about 600NIS for 4 pp which is very reasonable.

MoreThis restaurant is located downtown on interesting Yoel Moshe Salomon Street. There are tables indoors and out but I would recommend to sit outdoors in the restaurants courtyard. With an extensive dairy menu you can choose from Italian specialties, salads, fish and more. The servings are quite big and good. Also interesting is their onion soup served in a hallow big loaf of bread. Their eggplant Parmesan was delicious and their seared tuna salad is also recommended. Service was quick and professional And after dinner take a stroll down Yoel Salomon street.
