This tiny little restaurant opened up around the corner from our house a couple of years ago. Cucina Picarelli may be small in stature, but I find it large in atmosphere and taste. Their tapenade (black olive treat) and bread is lovely. The screened-in patio is mostly lit with large clear christmas lights all year long and we always seem to come when classic Dean Martin is playing. The wait staff each time we've eaten there has been quite attentive and the food is nice. I had the lobster ravioli and found some ravioli had great juicy lumps of lobster and other peices seemed to have the leftovers....made me wish I had ordered their gnocchi with pesto sauce, which I'd had before. I've eaten there many times, both lunch and dinner, and enjoyed my experience each time.
