La Piccola Casa "The Little House" Lic. # 0446

Every house has a story but few are as iconic as La Piccola Casa. Built in early 1900, La Piccola has had a diverse journey. This lovely Victorian lady spent her early years as a Pacific Grove residence before becoming La Piccola Pizzeria & Coffee Shop in 2005. After years of serving thousands of guests, La Piccola has taken on a new life. Lovingly restored by restaurateurs, Joe & Laurie Rombi, she has returned to her roots as a residence while still retaining memories of her culinary past.
