Piccolo Buco Roma - set mere steps from Rome's famed Trevi Fountain - is where Cooper's Hawk Founder, Tim McEnery, first discovered Chef Luca Issa and his wonderful pizza. The ingredients were deceptively simple: creamy, indulgent mozzarella mingled with a bright and bold tomato sauce. But it was the extraordinary, tall crust - crisp on the outside yet cloud-like at the center - that won his heart. He couldn't wait to introduce America to a pizza this special!

    We had a wonderful time! We are new to the Dr Phillips area and are attempting to get out and see more and this restaurant came recommended by several of our colleagues and friends! The interior of the restaurant is absolutely beautiful with great, attentive staff and a wonderful wine selection, which was majority American wines, all on tap. We both enjoyed our pasta dishes and will certainly be back!

    Another wonderful Mother’s Day buffet! Food continuously came out without having to ask for more and the waitress that my party of six had was attentive, polite, and fun to chitchat with. It was Mother’s Day, but the staff was still polite and energetic, regardless of the constant flow of traffic of people. Don’t hesitate to try this place.
