A nice, laid back restaurant with gr8 ambience. I went there for lunch. I liked the look of the place..an ideal place to hang out with ur frnds & chat for hours. If the weatherz right, u cud dine outdoors too. Coming to the food, I was really disappointed. There were six of us for lunch. We ordered for:
Strawberry soda pop (really good)
Lemon soda pop (tastes like lemon soda..nothin special)
Mickey mouse (basically cola with ice cream..worth a try)
Punch with rum (I couldn’t taste the rum! It tasted jus like Tropicana mixed fruit juice)
Potato wedges & French fries (I like d ones at mc donalds better)
We had a couple of spaghetti dishes, penne in white sauce, bismark pizza & Milanese pizza for the main course. Spaghetti was edible but I’ve had better spaghetti at many other places. Penne in white sauce was good. Bismark pizza looked yummy & I really wanted to taste it but it had beef The Milanese pizza was inedible! It had spinach, mushrooms, bell peppers, tomatoes & onions as the toppings. It looked pretty nice but it tasted simply horrible. The chef must have tried really hard to make such a horrible pizza! I mean..its kinda impossible to make a pizza tht tastes so bad but hey, Casa Picola has done it!!
We had the hot chocolate sundae for dessert which basically is a scoop of vanilla ice cream & chocolate ice cream each, a tiny brownie & a generous serving of chocolate sauce. It looked beautiful & tasted delicious! I’m def’lly goin there again to have this :-)
So yeah, this place is kinda over rated. Its nice for beverages & desserts but if u r expecting an authentic Italian meal, go else where.

For someone who has always been a casa piccola fan from bangalore days it was really surprise finding one in chennai.
I went for lunch and the restaurant was bright and airy almost as if you were sitting outside minus the heat of course. There was outside seating for those who preferred it to enjoy the balmy chennai weather.
The food surpassed expectations. They had some new items on the menu which I'd never had in B'lore. The Beef Chilly starters was just awesome so was the Beef Moussaka.
The Blackened Fish was just ok... Dint excite me too much but the rest of the food was just amazing.
Best of all the prices are reasonable too...
Ideal for a relaxing weekend lunch. No bookings required, not too much of a crowd.
