Piccolo Trattoria

Those who know Subi dining will tell you Piccolo Trattoria brings the unapologetic energy of a true Roman eatery straight to Rokeby Road. It’s loud. It’s tightly packed. Sometimes the waiters will literally serenade your table—and that electric, chaotic charm is exactly why you go. Pasta purists point straight to the al dente perfection of the house-made cappellacci genovese and the rustic, flavor-packed meatballs. The kitchen channels pure sprezzatura, turning out gorgeously seasoned beef fillets alongside classic prawn linguine. You’ll want to book ahead, as tables flip fast in this high-octane space. Snag a Sunday arvo spot, pour a glass of prosecco—BYO is occasionally an option—and let the charming staff guide your feast. Whatever you do, don't skip dessert. The pistachio ice cream, complete with a hidden chocolate core, is the ultimate slice of la dolce vita.
