Great pizza :-) In fact all the specials looked excellent... they had moules frites, salade nicoise, and vegan, gluten free lasagne on the menu.
great coffee hot chocolate and homemade cakes and the best fish cakes ive ever tasted they even do gluten free paninis gluten free pasta and gluten free cakes great hosts too would reccomend il picchio too all my friends and family
Went to my other favourite Italian cafe today, always a good choice of home made food and traditional pasta with home made sauces and gluten free cakes, sometimes gets very busy, but worth the wait, Terry and penny always welcoming even when they're run off their feet, for a little taste of Rome from a little Roma, give em a visit
Come in every time I come down south for a visit, great owners and fabulous cakes, also has a great atmosphere. Well worth a visit if you are in the area
Happy to say I'm an Il Picchio regular and love the friendly, welcoming atmosphere. I'm often there for a good few hours so am grateful for Terry and Penny's accommodating nature!
Great little Gem, family run buisness � very lovely owners that really make you feel welcome � There's yummy Gluten free cakes to enjoy with a coffee too � I like the fact that they make their own food on site and have a passion for ingredients & homemade quality � There's a few cafes on this street but this one is worth visiting as the owners go out of their way to welcome & remember you.
I’ve been for lunch a couple of times now and plan on making it a regular event! The food and service are excellent. Staff are so friendly and welcoming and will always try to accommodate any needs you have. Will be going back ASAP!
Lovely Italian dishes, lots of flavour in an atmospheric environment! Could hardly believe I was sat in Bitterne Triangle! Great wine to compliment the meal also, and beautiful homemade cakes! I will be back soon!
We just had afternoon tea here as part of my husband's 40th birthday celebrations. From the outset, Terry made us feel extremely welcome with his engaging and accomodating personality. Nothing was too much trouble. The food was delicious (especially the tuna sandwiches and choc torte - all homemade) and Terry even put up the 40th birthday bunting i had dropped off for my husband for when we arrived. He also went on a hunt for a lighter at local businesses to light a candle on one of our cakes! Would definitely go back, and will take my mum there for part of her 60th b'day celebrations as he really made us feel special.
ristorantino italiano unico al mondo....atmosfera divina e cibi dal sapore unico nonostante il costo equo,se non altamente concorrenziale.....purtroppo motivo di grande depressione per i cittadini locali che dopo aver gustato la pasta "malerba" non riescono più a concepire la dieta inglese e rischiano di dover cambiare con il tempo anche il loro guardaroba
Little piece of Italy right on our doorstep love it ! Very authentic !
Love this place. Decided it will be our new go to cafe. The food is amazing, cooked perfectly. It might be gready but I wouldn't mind trying everything on the menu eventually! The coffee is great. Near to riverside park so it's lovely to have a coffee and a walk too. The people there are so very friendly. I'm suprised I never wrote a review before as me and my husband have been here many times over 4 years. Homemade cakes, lasanges and ciabatta. Looking forward to our next visit already!
Lovely place so welcoming and a great selection of gluten free cakes I felt quite normal for a change! Also soya milk available for my coffee a real treat. The owner was lovely and makes the cakes on the premises.
Really nice food, the owners seemed lovely and they cater for vegetarians, vegans and gluten free. Will definitely go back next time I am in that direction.
delicious food. i especially enjoy their pizza. the base is home made and is far better than other pizza restaurants in Southampton.
Seriously the best service ever.
Been here a few times. They remember what I have had before. They chat about stuff that they have remembered before chatting with you.
A must visit if your near Bitterne triangle area for lunch.
Very nice local café. Friendly owners and lovely cake.
Wow! Fantastic home cooked food. Beautiful ingredients, perfectly prepared. Hidden gem of a cafe.
Excellent coffee and latte, good food if a little expensive, cakes of which some are gluten free.
Friendly owners, home-cooked lunches and cakes. Great coffee and cosy surroundings.
Lovely, friendly hidden gem, great food & soft drinks😁
