Been coming here since we moved upstate. Food is great and the waitresses are great and good service. However, today we had a bad experience. We saw 2 cockroaches in the both we were sitting in. Both were on the table by our condiments and utensils. Of course we told the owner, and he didn’t seem to care and apologized, however we were grossed out and could not finish our meal. Yes, we even paid for the full check, if this was an another restaurant they would at least give us a discount for having to deal with roaches on our table and by our food.

I have to give -5 ⭐️. NEGATIVE 5.
January 4, 2026. I witnessed the most unprofessional service in my whole adult life life. Customer entered diner friendly, seemed to know the place and possibly been a regular, said hi to everyone, owners as well, and their waitress seemed to enjoy their interaction. There was as a second waitress that had instigated the customer almost from the moment she sat down with a younger customer, maybe her child. She was yelling slander comments and talking about how she shldnt txt someone. Literally screaming from across the diner. Taking orders from her tables, and bringing food to customers and refilling coffees, all while constantly making trips back to this poor customer and the child’s table. Yelling profanities and name calling. It was absolutely absurd! I cldnt repeat all what was said by waitress, the taunting was so malicious and in front of a child and other customers in the diner. It was a full house, customers of all ages and parties large and small. Other people my husband and I cld see were sickened by the action of this red headed waitress and how she was blowing up on an innocent customer by what we cld see. This was ongoing for the entire time I was there trying to eat my meal. The customer vaguely interacted, respect to her. The owner female actually thanked her, as she was leaving out after paying, for not engaging. The reason I’m posting is due to the fact that I returned this past weekend to see the same waitress still having a job at this diner. This girl shld not work in customer service. For the mere fact that she has so little contol of her self, regardless of her personal entities outside of work, that’s no excuse for her to come to work and take it out on anyone else. And for that, I have to say I will not be returning to this establishment.

My wife started with Chicken Noodle Soup. She like that. I got the chicken fried steak with Fries and a side of chili dog. I was expecting some kind of white gravy on the chicken fried steak but it was ok. Fries were good. Chili dog had to many beans in chili(personal Choice) but otherwise good. My wife got the Philly Cheese Steak and said it was ok. Staff was friendly and place was pretty clean.

Enjoyed this bit of an old school dinner while visiting. Very laidback and friendly. The food was served nice and hot and both dishes that were ordered were extremely good. The tables were a tad sticky and the plates served on were something you would see at grandmas house, but that just meant the food is homecooked and comforting.

We decided to eat at piccolo’s cafe on a “spur of the moment” decision & we sure are glad we did! The service was amazing and our food was done in about 10 minutes if that. We had little to no wait time for service and she was so sweet when we met her! The atmosphere was very relaxed and the menu was divine! Very clean as well! We will be visiting here in the very near future!
