Picollo Paradiso Los Angeles
Great Italian fare
For those who love nothing more than a good Italian meal, one of the best spots for Italian food is Piccolo Paradiso. Located on south Beverly Drive in Beverly Hills, the small yet charming Piccolo Paradiso is a reliable provider of casual yet extremely good Italian cuisine. Their food is made with fresh, high quality ingredients. And their menu is diverse with dishes ranging from multiple regions of Italy.
Piccolo Paradiso offers a selection of fresh hand-made pasta made in house in addition to a wide variety of meat and seafood dishes. I particularly enjoy their crisp Milanese (pro-tip: they will make you a chicken version if you ask nicely) and their rich and tender veal osso bucco (perfect on a chilly night). One can always order half orders of pasta and half orders of salad. This is a particularly nice touch for both health conscious patrons as well as those who want to try multiple dishes.
What I enjoy best about Piccolo Paradiso is that their friendly service is always accommodating. Special requests on menu items do not bother the service staff or the kitchen. It speaks to Piccolo Paradiso’s genuine desire to ensure the customer is pleased. It makes for a relaxed environment where one can really enjoy the meal and simply experience excellent Italian cooking with friends and family.
For the Italian food lover, I strongly recommend Piccolo Paradiso.
