Piccola Trattoria - Santa Clarita

Italian dishes and atmosphere that are in my top 10 for Santa

My husband and I have been going here for four years, and we usually go every few weeks or so. The food is good quality, and what keeps us coming back is the service and smiling faces.

I loved having dinner here! As an Italian, I really felt at home.

The melon, prosciutto and fig appetizer was delicious, as was our lobster ravioli with a cherry tomato and basil sauce. Their food is consistently excellent. Absolutely lovely place to have dinner! One of our community “treasures “.

The food was excellent, the atmosphere and ambiance feels authentic and relaxed, not super upscale and stuffy. The service personally wasn’t spectacular. However we did witness others receiving much better service literally right next to us, definitely felt like we were not a priority. We felt rushed like “ok hurry and eat so we can have this table for others”. We were only checked on once, never asked for a drink refill, not even a water refill. They just came and cleaned up our table, I had to ask for a dessert menu when I heard our server ask guests around us if they’d like dessert. Overall a feeling of unwelcome. Very sad because the restaurant itself is nice and the food was excellent. Due to the service alone we will not be back.
