Piccola Italia Restaurant

Piccola Italia is an Italian restaurant in Zephyrhills known for homemade pasta and slow-cooked sauces, made by hand in the kitchen since it opened in 1986. Its menu runs from classic pasta and Parmesan dishes to Sicilian and cauliflower-crust pizzas, with seafood, salads, calzones and desserts such as tiramisu.

The restaurant is open for dinner Monday through Saturday, from 3 to 8 p.m., and is closed Sundays. Takeout and delivery are available, and reservations are suggested because the dining room fills up quickly. Diners describe a casual, quaint space where the staff is friendly and the food is traditional Italian.
