Piccolo Ristorante

Piccolo Ristorante is a family-run Italian restaurant on Ryans Road known for house-made pasta, and it welcomes dogs at its footpath tables.

The dog setup. Dogs are permitted at the outdoor footpath seating, arranged sidewalk-style in front of the restaurant. Staff are generally accommodating, though it is worth bringing your own water bowl rather than assuming one will be offered. Keep dogs settled and out of the walkway for other diners.

Good to know. The kitchen is known for gnocchi and other handmade pasta, arancini, Moreton Bay bug linguini and a well-reviewed tiramisu. Most of the menu can be adapted gluten-free, and there are solid vegan and vegetarian options too. Open Tuesday evenings and Wednesday to Sunday for lunch and dinner, so check hours before heading over.

Getting there. Free street parking is generally available on Ryans Road and the surrounding residential streets.

Nearby. Shaw Park and O'Callaghan Park are both a short drive away for a walk before or after your table.

Book ahead if you want a footpath table at peak dinner times, and confirm the outdoor seating is available for your visit since it can fill fast on weekend nights.
