Well… that’s it ❤️
After one of the most emotional, overwhelming and unforgettable weeks of our lives, we honestly just want to say thank you.
The messages, stories, photos, hugs, tears, laughs and support we’ve received this week have meant more than people will ever know. We always knew La Piccola was special to us, but this week showed us just how special it was to so many others too.
Seeing generations of families come through our doors one last time, hearing your memories and feeling the love for this little place has been incredibly hard but incredibly beautiful too.
To everyone who supported us over the years — whether you came every week or only once — thank you for being part of our story.
Saturday night was our last service, and while our hearts are heavy, they are also very full.
Thank you for every single memory.
Love always,
The La Piccola Family ❤️

After almost 46 wonderful years, the time has
come for our family to say goodbye to a very
special chapter as we prepare to close our
restaurant at the end of this month.
What began all those years ago with my parents
grew into something far greater than we ever
could have imagined — a place woven into the
heart of Limerick, filled with generations of
families, friendships, celebrations, first dates,
anniversaries, and unforgettable nights.
Hospitality has never just been a job. It is long
days, late nights, endless hard graft and
sacrifice — but it is also community, laughter
and people. Our family poured our hearts into
this restaurant for decades, and we are
incredibly proud of what it became and the
memories created within its walls.
Following many years in the industry, and after
navigating the enormous challenges hospitality
has faced in recent times, we have made the difficult decision to step back and begin a new
chapter.
While this is an emotional decision, it feels like
the right time.
To every customer who walked through our
doors, every staff member past and present,
every supplier, neighbour and friend who
supported us over the years — thank you. Your
loyalty and kindness helped make this little
restaurant part of Limerick’s story for nearly five
decades.
We hope to see many familiar faces over the
next few days as we celebrate the memories, the
people and the incredible journey this restaurant
has been.
With love and gratitude,
Stefano & All the team at La Piccola Italia ❤️
