Love the setting with the Jerusalem stone and the location is lovely. Delicious pasta and plentiful. I would certainly come back. Quaint separate rooms make for an intimate setting.

About Piccolino
Fine dining in an impeccable atmosphere
The Picolino restaurant is a fantastic establishment placed in a magical building at Nahalat Shiva neighborhood, crafted in pure Jerusalem style. On the menu, you’ll find fine Italian cuisine with numerous unusual dishes served in the most upscale-gourmet manner.
The design is defined by warm luxury, patterned flooring, warm colors, fresh flowers, and dimmed lights, creating a relaxing atmosphere.
The restaurant is a part of the “Music Square” compound – a platform for bringing people together through music and cultural activities that take place every day. Every day, from noon to 2 PM, you may dine to the sounds of beautiful classical music. The perfect experience and completed by the exceptional service offered by the staff.
The gems of the menu
Piccolino serves unique dishes, combining Italian simplicity and impeccable quality, granted by using only the freshest ingredients. The experience is completed with smells of delicious pastries, which is highly suitable when taking into account that this building formerly used as the local bakery of the neighborhood.
We especially recommend the “White pizza,” a special pizza without tomato sauce, but based on mozzarella cheese only, “Arancini” risotto balls with mushrooms and mascarpone cheese baked in bread crumbs. The soups are a unique charm, especially in the cold days. The desserts worth to be mentioned, since they’re a real delight and offers large varieties.
Private events at Piccolino
The place is available for all kinds of private events, including birthdays, bar and bat mitzvahs, parties for employees, and more. A private room hosts up to 35 people and the lounge – up to 130 guests.
The restaurant is committed to giving back to the community in any way possible, including employing new repatriants and disabled workers, as fully paid an integral part of the team. Additionally, the restaurant makes sure to donate leftovers from Friday nights and events to Yeshiva and institutions for at-risk youth.

“Great Italian dining outside in the square. Dairy food.”
Went 3 times in the week we were in Jerusalem, with a small crowd. Food was very good, atmosphere amazing. They had good live music on and service was very good. Great place to eat, and great for groups to eat here. Would highly recommend.
