Reasons to go
Full description
Piccolo Buco takes no reservations by design, and reviewers confirm it's worth the resulting wait — one calls it among the top three pizzas they've ever had, and the entrance itself is lined with awards and competition titles collected over the past decade. Its very high must-see score paired with a very low hidden-gem score confirms it as a widely known, frequently repeated stop rather than a secret, backed by over 8,000 reviews at 4.5 stars.
