Perfect Italian restaurant. We had a very nice evening. The food was perfect. The eggplant Parmesan and arancini was so good, even better then many restaurants in Firenze. Very friendly staff. I recommend strongly.

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.

MoreMy husband and I had dinner here with another couple, who had dined here quite a few times in the past. I had high expectations since our friends had spoken very highly of this restaurant. Well, they were absolutely correct! The restaurant is centrally located in a very lively area. The atmosphere is casual, charming and pleasant. The food was delicious, and the portions were extremely generous. The 2 men had soup as starters, which they thoroughly enjoyed. As main courses, 3 of us had fish dishes (2 salmon and 1 tuna steak), and 1 had pasta. I had the tuna, which was very special.......cooked in wine sauce and mushrooms. All 4 of us loved our meals, and we barely had room for the dessert that followed. The service was excellent, .......very friendly and efficient......and the prices were fair. One day when I'm in Jerusalem again, I hope to return to Piccolino.
