One of the best dairy restaurants in Jerusalem (in our opinion). Great food, large selection of items, nice ambience, in the "music area" of Jerusalem next to the Hebrew Music Museum. Highly recommend Piccolino.

About Piccolino
Fine dining in an impeccable atmosphere
The Picolino restaurant is a fantastic establishment placed in a magical building in 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: fine fish, fresh pizzas, pasta, salads, and great desserts.
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 on cold days. The desserts are worth to be mentioned since they’re a real delight and offer 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 repatriates 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.

TripAdvisor Reviews
We hosted a festive meal for about 50 guests at the restaurant. They set up, provided excellent menus and service with a variety of delicious foods and many compliments from our guests. I have heard nothing but positive feedback from friends and acquaintances about the restaurant.
I went with my wife and kids while on vacation. My wife's pappardelle pasta was inedible, my son's raviolis came in a pool of oil, and my white cheese pizza was not well prepared. My daughter had spaghetti with virtually no sauce and which was not the right type of noodle. We...
MoreI went with my wife and kids while on vacation. My wife's pappardelle pasta was inedible, my son's raviolis came in a pool of oil, and my white cheese pizza was not well prepared. My daughter had spaghetti with virtually no sauce and which was not the right type of noodle. We left dissatisfied with the food and the price given the food's quality.
