No pretentions, just good Italian food at Piccolino
Piccolino is the Santa Fe exception: a family-owned, family-oriented and seriously local place that doesn’t serve New Mexican food. It’s all Italian all the time here.

Prime Steakhouse in Aiken has a new sister restaurant that is 22 miles away in Edgefield. Nonna’s opened last week at 206 Main St. Randy Stamm owns both eateries, but Nonna’s isn’t a carbon copy of Prime. “It’s a totally different experience,” Stamm said. “Prime is an upscale big city steakhouse.
