This Father's Day we're doing what we do best. The woodfired oven will be roaring from midday until 9.00pm, so whether Dad's a long lunch man or more of a dinner and a Negroni type, there's a seat here with his name on it.

Pasta in a Pizza Bowl

Melbourne's famous 'spag bowl' was first created right here. Any pasta on the menu, served in an edible handcrafted pizza bowl, simply add $5. If Dad can't decide between pasta or pizza, why not have both?

Finish with a Classic Tiramisu or a Pizza Nutella, and raise a glass to the old man with a Peroni Rossa, a Negroni or a drop of Shiraz from the bar.

WHY FAMILY DAYS MATTER HERE

Piccolino Exists Because Of Family

In 2012, Andrea Fioriti left his family, his friends and his hometown of Perugia in Italy to start a new life in Australia. He loved it here, but something vital was missing: his family and friends. So Piccolino was born, a home away from home where friends and family gather like they do back in Italy.

That's why a day like Father's Day means something around here. It's not about a big song and dance. It's about getting everyone around one table, sharing good food, and making the old man feel like the guest of honour.

"We take pride in an authentic approach to making woodfired pizza, and are responsible for some of this city's best house-made pasta and gnocchi dishes."
Andrea Fioriti
HEAD CHEF & OWNER
