La Cucina Piccola (LCP) is an incredibly great restaurant. Everyone we have introduced to LCP loves it; if they live in the area, they become repeat diners. Innovative, excellent food; large portions; friendly and knowledgeable servers; comfortable, warm decor; moderate prices. BYOB. Free parking. Tonight, we ordered specials, which are always outstanding. There is a wide array of excellent choices on the menu, and a great prix fixe menu offering a three-course dinner. Reservations essential, especially on Friday/Saturday.
