"I had originally planned to go out for the evening with a friend to attend a show, but unfortunately she had car trouble and couldn't make it. I ended up staying in Ilkley on my own. After a stressful day of getting to Ilkley alone, a friend who was also attending the show said she would meet me at Piccolinos for some food before the show. She was running late due to traffic, so I decided to go into Piccolinos by myself until she arrived. I felt a bit awkward when I first walked in, but the man at the reception was very kind. He seated me at the bar while I waited for my friend and even got me a drink. I told him about my day and he immediately made me feel more comfortable. I wish I had caught his name, as he was exceptional. I believe he was the manager, as he was wearing a suit. When my friend finally showed up, we didn't have much time to eat, so they suggested dishes that would be quicker to prepare. We both had the Devonshire crab ravioli, which was delicious, and her grandson had a pizza, which he enjoyed. The menu had a good variety of drinks and food options, the restaurant had a great atmosphere, and the service was excellent. I want to thank everyone at the restaurant for their hospitality, food, and exceptional service."
