The Street Seen: Piccolo Restaurant

2127 Lincoln Blvd @ Pacific (Sunset Park)

Piccolo is run by Chef Antonio Mure and partner Tony Black, who are behind Barrique on Main Street in Venice and the new Piccolo Venice on Abbot Kinney. Piccolo Santa Monica has been in the works since December 2019, but it’s permit and renovation process was significantly set back by the pandemic. The Piccolo menu blends a range of fresh farmers market produce and top quality Italian ingredients into flavor packed pasta parcels, slow cooked game meats, and fragrant fish dishes. "......essentially what we’re trying to duplicate with Piccolo is that idea of having a little neighborhood spot that can really accommodate the community” says Black.

Piccolo Santa Monica is open for dinner seven days a week and has plans to expand into lunch and brunch options soon. They do not seem to have a liquor license yet (ABC type 47 onsite sales application in window) but there is a liquor store next door. Outdoor dining in the rear and a parklet on Pacific.
