At Piccolo Trattoria, our gourmet Italian cuisine and our Italian-inspired décor combine to provide the most delightful atmosphere for a wonderful night out. Begin your delectable meal with some of our famous appetizers. Whether you visit us for lunch or dinner, you can start with:

Mini Crab Cakes. Following the long and storied tradition of Italian seafood, our homemade jumbo lump crab cakes are served with a lemon saffron sauce to whet your appetite. Crab is a heart-healthy food, with low cholesterol and low saturated fat, and is a great source of protein, as well as vitamins and minerals such as potassium, copper, and zinc.
Mozzarella in Carrozza. If you love fresh mozzarella, you’ll love this starter. The mozzarella is dusted lightly with bread crumbs and served with fresh tomato, a touch of marinara, and garlic caper white wine sauce.
Long-Stem Artichokes. Artichokes are great for you—they are high in antioxidants, have been found to reduce the risk of cancers, are good for your liver, aid the digestion process, and are chock full of fiber and nutrients, including vitamin C, copper, and manganese. Enjoy our fried, golden long-stem artichokes dusted with parmesan cheese and served with a delectable creamy roasted garlic sauce.
Stuffed Portobello with Sausage. For the mushroom lover, we offer this mouth-watering appetizer: stuffed Portobello topped with sausage and gorgonzola cheese in a garlic white wine sauce. Portobello mushrooms are excellent sources of nutrition. Full of riboflavin, copper, potassium, and vitamin D, Portobello mushrooms are a wonderful choice to start off any meal at our restaurant.
