One of the best Italian sandwiches I have ever had in my life. Wish this place was closer to were I love I would be here everyday. Nothing here isn't good hands down.

Just a side note, if you make a catering order for an office lunch, they do not supply plates, napkins, silverware, only the food . It is not a catered lunch

I was so disappointed in your egg plant. For years we got the grab and go and loved it! But this year it very heavily breaded and tasteless egg plant. It almost seems like frozen eggplant patties were used and then some cheese and your sauce was added. It was barely edible.............

For about 15 years I would comfortably say Piccolo was my favorite restaurant in town. I’d beg my wife to go there consecutive days and I was happy eating the Frank Sinatra sandwich over and over and over again.Then the business sold. Now the bread is disappointing with no noteworthy crunch, the portions got smaller, the prices went up, the daily specials went away, and worst of all - the chicken cutlet is soggy and pounded so paper thin that there is absolutely no meat to speak of.I asked the new owner about it and he acted like nothing was different from before. I would have thought I was going crazy but 2 tables on either side of me heard my conversation and leaned in to tell me how disappointed they were with the changes.

We love to eat there or get it to go. They have frozen items that we also get and heat up for dinners that is as homemade straight from Italy as you'll ever find.

When traveling, anytime I can find an authentic Italian deli I feel right at home. Piccolos is in a little strip on the south end of Sarasota and is about as real deal as you can get. Lots of freshly made Italian treats. They put together a nice charcuterie for me to take back to our rental to enjoy. The prices are very fair for the quality you get and the staff very friendly and helpful. Grazie!

After living in Brooklyn for over sixty years, before relocating to Sarasota, Piccolo Italian deli has become my go to place for Italian food. They have outstanding homemade sausage, chicken cutlets, manicotti, ravioli, imported provolone cheese, to name a few…their seeded semolina bread is the best in the area. A wide variety of sandwiches, clean environment, and a friendly staff make it a pleasure to shop…keep up the great work…

Food is good. The pizza has a unique taste as if it were made on sourdough and the arancini were delicious, although we ended up getting meat rice balls when we asked for mushroom/mozzarella. The meat was still good all the same, just not what I thought I was getting.

We discovered Piccolo by accident in this quaint 1940’s old Florida retail oasis filled with delightful personable mom and pop tiny shops. For my 50th birthday the entire immediate family flew into NYC’s Little Italy’s old Angelo’s to celebrate in their frescoed back room. That’s how much I love truly excellent Italian food!Piccolo’s new owners ( former employees of the original Bronx born owners) are SUPER fastidious and proud of their high standards in using traditional top quality ingredients. You see this especially in their perfect fresh sausage, and pizza sauces. Their sandwiches with old Italian garnishes have ALL the distinct flavors of each cheese, salami, meatball veal or chicken. Amazing from just a sandwich. Entrees are generous, ask for extra sauce on the pasta! Specials are offered each day and their large pizzas are incomparable!!! EVERYTHING is delicious!!!

Great selection in the market, even has gluten free pasta which is so great! The deli counter is full beautiful fresh olives, cheeses, meets and veggies. Subs are great and super fresh. The grab and go’s are convenient and come with reheating instructions and they are delicious. Employees are very nice and helpful, love this place!

I ordered a sandwich and asked for no oil or tomato to go. When I opened the sandwich it had tomatoes and oil. I have frequented Picola's over the last several years and their sandwiches have been some of the best I have ever had. The last several times I have ordered them they have become skimpy-less and less lunch meats. I doubt if I'll be back.
