What an amazing Valentine's Day Dinner with my lovely wife at Piccolino Ristorante in Mission Viejo. We had reservations and were greeted by McKenna, Diana, and Paulina. These ladies are so amazing, kind, and gracious as they greet us upon entry. Their impact is greatly appreciated and recognized. We were seated at a lovely booth and greeted by Jorge, our amazing server. Jorge has 3 children, and he and his wife celebrated Valentine's Day yesterday after taking the kids to school. A wonderful man. Jorge took our drink order and came back with delicious Don Julio 70, club soda, three limes muddled and a touch of mint for each of us. We then ordered our appetizers from the pre-fix menus for Valentine's Day. My wife and I both ordered the crema D'Aragosta soup, which was fantastic. We also asked him to give a hug to Sal, the owner who we knew would be busy in the kitchen. What a surprise, Sal came out of the kitchen to wish us Happy Valentine's Day. Sal is a very special person and dear to our heart, besides being an amazing Ristorante proprietor and artist. We enjoyed seeing him. Then Jorge came by and took our order. My wife ordered the Salmone Amore, which she just loved. I ordered the 10 Oz. grilled lobster entree. Both dishes came with mashed potatoes and scrumptious vegetables. We also visited with Devor, the manager, who brightens up each table with his amazing customer service, kind demeanor, and professionalism. The entrees were simply delicious and well prepared and presented by head chef Paul Sotello. We were blessed to have Paul come by our table and introduce himself as we thanked him for his amazing culinary craft. The meals were amazing. The restaurant was full of lovely couples celebrating Valentine's Day, and the love was certainly felt in the ambiance we all shared. Jorge then took our desert order, and all we could say was wow! My wife had the pistachio cheesecake, and I had the chocolate mousse cake. Also, a cup of coffee to compliment the desert was the perfect fit. Piccolino Ristorante is a fantastic restaurant with quality menu choices and a truly romantic and authentic Italian ambiance. Highly recommended

Another amazing dining experience at Piccolino Ristorante. We were greeted by the lovely hostess who is always so bright, positive, and friendly. She took us to a lovely booth, and Javier stopped by to take our drink and appetizer order. What a nice man and excellent server. Great people and magnificent service. We started with the eggplant souffle, which was simply delicious. My wife ordered the New Zealand Sea Bass with roasted potatoes and grilled vegetables, and she told me it was beyond words fantastic. I had the grilled salmon with mixed vegetables and roasted potatoes, and all I can say is WOW. The ambiance was so romantic and peaceful, and we had a wonderful conversation with Sal, the owner who is such a loving guy and is so passionate about his place and the people who dine there. If you have not dined at Piccolino Ristorante, I highly recommend this fine establishment if you desire authentic Italian cuisine.

What an amazing anniversary dinner at Piccolino Ristorante in Mission Viejo. We were greeted by the lovely hostess, Sal, and Devor who all wished us a Happy Anniversary, it was so kind. We were seated at a wonderful booth that had a beautiful anniversary wish in golden confetti and were treated to a glass of champagne. We also saw Tina, who stopped by to chat and wish us Happy Anniversary. Jorge was our server extraordinare. The service by all staff was stellar. We started with drinks, and of course, my wife had her favorite tequilla drink. We also started with the wonderful bread and the eggplant appetizer, which was scrumptious. Jorge stopped by and took our entree order. My wife had the salmon entree, and I ordered the filet mignon and lobster tail. The food arrived, and the presentation and food tasted simply amazing. For dessert, we had the Spumoni with fresh fruit with cappuccino.
Highly recommended.
