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.

MoreDespite the restaurant not having our reservation for our group of 14, the long wait to be seated (staff seemed almost annoyed we’d arrived in such a large group), and the long wait for menus (about 20 minutes), drinks and even our food (we were finally seated at 7.30pm and eventually served food at 8.30pm), this place deserves 4 stars. The food is fantastic (I had Jerusalem artichoke for the first time, which I thoroughly enjoyed and which left me VERY full afterward!) and the atmosphere (despite the seemingly rude staff — though it could have simply been because they were so busy and rushed off their feet) similarly so. Everyone in our group was very impressed with their meals, though not everyone could finish theirs (very filling!). We were seated outside near some other large groups, in an enclosed space, all seated on plastic chairs under heat lamps. Live music began from just after 8pm, which we thoroughly enjoyed!
