01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
Tucked down an alley in Omiya, Piccolo Giardino offers a relaxed setting for sipping wine over fresh-baked pizza and seasonal dishes jotted on the blackboard. Beyond classic pies topped with tomato and cheese, the kitchen prepares minimalist snack-style pizzas that spotlight the dough itself, alongside drink-friendly bites such as grilled vegetables and marinated mackerel. Heartier cravings are equally well served, with options like a rich crab and prawn risotto and various pasta dishes that make the restaurant just as appealing for a full dinner as for casual drinks.
Small-Plate Pairings and Counter-Side Comfort
The wine list is designed to match the food, ranging from regularly rotating by-the-glass pours to full bottles, with selections spanning crisp whites and fruit-forward reds. Light starters like prosciutto wrapped around grissini, bite-sized savoury tarts, and house-made pickles are perfectly portioned for sharing over conversation and a glass in hand. With an assorted antipasto misto featuring both meat and seafood, it is just as convenient when dropping by for a 2 stop at the bar.
To finish, dessert options like a bittersweet caramel custard pudding offer a gentle, sweet conclusion to the meal. With both counter seating and booth tables, the space feels welcoming whether you are dining alone or with a group. Except on Wednesdays, the restaurant opens in the late afternoon on weekdays and runs from 15:00 until late at 24:00 on Saturdays.
