While the food and setting is divine, we waited more than 30 minutes for a waiter to come to our table after the cleared our main course plates from our table. At no point were our drinks topped up or were we asked if we would like coffee or desert. And when I complained to the waiter while paying the bill, he stepped back and whispered something to the waiter beside him, whereafter they laughed off the complaint. Good food, but I won't be back if you paid me...

"My new favourite"
10.0 Cuisine 10 | Service 10 | Atmosphere 10

This was my first experience with Piccolo Mondo. I had the lamb belly bacon starter, short rib main and the berry tartlet for dessert. Every single aspect was flawless. There was live piano playing, the service was flawless, the wine list was excellent and the food has gone down as one of my top five meals ever. I think the starter was my favourite. I'm dying to go back!

"Superb experience "
10.0 Cuisine 10 | Service 10 | Atmosphere 10

My husband, son and I went for lunch. We tried all 3 starters and mains. Each dish was exquisitely prepared and presented. The staff were fabulous. Our waitron, Mbali was a superstar. The supervisor Nkosinathi checked on us frequently to ensure that everything was to our satisfaction. Sifanelo was also amazing in serving us. The ambience, service and food was superb.

About Piccolo Mondo

Cuisine: Fine Dining, Italian

Flair, adventure and culinary delight are at the heart of the menu at the Piccolo Mondo Restaurant. Designed not to just feed the appetite and appease the taste buds, several of the dishes bring with them a visual signature never seen before.


“The clientele of the Piccolo Mondo, and in fact the Michelangelo hotel in general, is so diverse that we have to create a very delicate balance between food that is fashionable, contemporary yet modern, food that has a wow factor, must be mainly food that is tasty and appeases all our clienteles’ discerning palates,” says, executive chef Trevor Boyd at the Michelangelo Hotel.


The menu captures nuances of all the components a menu needs to set us apart from other restaurants out there. “We believe that our new menu will cater for not only the business weary traveller and the erstwhile tourist, but also the many visitors we see popping in for a meal on their visit to the Nelson Mandela Square.”
