Traditional pizza and fresh, handmade pasta - like you’ve never had before. Their pasta and sauces are prepared in-house using the highest quality local and imported Italian ingredients. Dine-in on Duggan Lane for the complete Piccolo Papà experience or take it home and enjoy with family and friends.
