2/3/12- La Piccoletta Orecchiette

With 300 seat casual dining chain restaurants being so prevalent you don't often see a little 30 seat restaurant with a short, simple menu doing it right like La Piccoletta. La Piccoletta is in one of the back alley of the Claremont village that has a dining room the size of my bedroom and a kitchen the size of my bathroom making it a very special and intimate dining experience for everyone. The menu is very simple with only a few entrees and appetizers but its all simply delicious. I ordered the Orecchiette (above) and it had sausage, broccoli rabe, peppercinis and butter sauce, it was quite delicious. The best part about the place is you can see the chef make your food because it's an open kitchen, which gives it more a personal feel. So if you haven't to La Piccoletta and you can find it check it out, it's a little taste of Italy.
