Piccola Cucina Uptown – italian_restaurant

Upper East Side home of Piccola Cucina, chef Philip Guardione's Sicilian mini-empire that grew from SoHo to Ibiza. The uptown room near Bloomingdale's channels the group's signature energy — tightly packed tables, opera-loud conviviality, and Sicilian cooking led by spaghetti al cartoccio flamed tableside in its paper pouch, fresh crudo, and island wines. Service runs warm and theatrical in the family style. It suits date nights that want Palermo over polish, post-shopping long lunches, cartoccio pilgrims, and diners who believe volume is a sign of joy.
