A proud fixture of Nottingham’s dining scene, Piccolino is located on Weekday Cross, boasting an open kitchen, stylish cocktail bar and, for those milder winter days, an alfresco terrace overlooking the square.
Perfectly placed for a festive day in the city, it’s an ideal stop for a leisurely lunch before exploring Nottingham’s Christmas markets, a well-earned break between shopping or a celebratory dinner to round off an evening in town.
PICCOLINO: AN ITALIAN CHRISTMAS FEAST
For those looking to make a real occasion of Christmas, Piccolino is bringing its signature Italian indulgence to the festive season, with menus designed for everything from Christmas parties and long lunches to family get-togethers.
Guests can choose between a three-course Classic festive menu at £45 per person (available until 5pm) or the three-course Signature festive menu at £54 per person, with Piccolino’s chefs putting an Italian twist on timeless festive favourites. Expect dishes such as roast turkey, sea bass and panna cotta, reimagined with the flavours, quality ingredients and flair Piccolino is known for.
Complemented by warm Italian hospitality, authentic Italian dining and handcrafted cocktails, every detail is designed to make celebrations feel special – whether it’s a leisurely lunch with family, a festive gathering with friends or a Christmas party with colleagues.
CHRISTMAS EVE: LET THE CELEBRATIONS BEGIN
With the office closed and Christmas just around the corner, there’s no better excuse to gather your favourite people and start the celebrations early. Club IR members dining on Christmas Eve can enjoy a complimentary glass of Prosecco for themselves and their party – the perfect way to raise a glass and toast the festivities ahead.
BOXING DAY: KEEP THE FESTIVITIES GOING
The celebrations don’t have to end on Christmas Day. Bring the extended family together at Piccolino this Boxing Day for great food, shared stories and another excuse to open a bottle. Groups of six or more dining at Piccolino will receive a complimentary bottle of wine, making it the perfect setting for a relaxed post-Christmas get-together.
SEE IN THE NEW YEAR, THE ITALIAN WAY
The celebrations also don’t have to stop at Christmas. Piccolino is also welcoming guests to see out 2026 in style, with a special New Year’s Eve experience designed to give the year a fitting finale. For £90 per person, guests can enjoy a three-course dinner, a glass of Champagne on arrival and entertainment throughout the evening, before counting down to midnight. The perfect excuse to dress up, raise a glass and welcome 2027 with a little Italian indulgence.
