Il Piccolo
About
Il Piccolo is a quintessential Italian dining experience tucked away on St. Helens Street in the picturesque village of Corbridge, Northumberland. Chiefly run by Sicilian‑born chef Emanuele Orto and his wife Pam, the restaurant offers an authentic menu featuring everything from classic pastas and pizzas to seasonal delicacies influenced by Sicilian, North African, and Norman culinary traditions. From hearty breakfasts and coffee from 10:30 am, to a generous lunch menu between 12:00 and 2:00 pm, and an enticing dinner service from 6:00 pm until 8:00 pm, Il Piccolo caters to guests every day of the week except Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. The cozy “Stuzzico” wine bar is an extension of the menu, providing a stocked selection of Italian wines by the glass or bottle alongside a menu of delicious tapas. Whether you’re looking for a relaxed lunch, a night out in a friendly atmosphere, a wine‑tasting evening or a private party, Il Piccolo delivers warmth, quality food and a touch of Sicily to the North of England.
