Piccola Pizzeria Coral Gables

Piccola Pizzeria brings wood-fired, artisan pizza and traditional Italian cooking to Ponce de Leon Blvd in Coral Gables. The menu runs from hand-crushed tomato pizzas and gnocchi alla Sorrentina to beef carpaccio, chicken Milanese, and a widely praised pistachio gelato, with tiramisu and panna cotta rounding out dessert.

The dining room is casual and cozy with both indoor seating and an outdoor patio, drawing families, couples, and solo diners alike for lunch and dinner. Guests frequently mention attentive table service and dishes that taste like they were made in Italy, and the restaurant also runs a Monday-through-Thursday happy hour and a Miami Spice three-course menu.

Expect moderate prices in the $20-30 per person range, a kids' menu and high chairs for families, and wheelchair-accessible entry, parking, and restrooms. It gets busy on Friday and Saturday nights, so arriving early or booking ahead on weekends is worth considering for a relaxed, unhurried meal.
