What happens when one of the Ozarks’ most loved Italian spots is forced to shut its doors overnight? Joy heads to Piccolo in Nixa to hear the story straight from owner Steve D'Arpino. 🍝❤️
After a terrifying accident forced the restaurant to close, Piccolo is officially back open and better than ever. Steve shares the emotional story behind reopening, his family’s deep roots in the Ozarks restaurant scene, and how Piccolo became a local favorite.
You’ll hear about the dishes people can’t stop talking about, including mozzarella-stuffed meatballs, corn brûlée creations, comforting Italian classics, pizza, vegan options, and desserts that regulars swear by. It’s a heartfelt look at resilience, community support, and why Piccolo continues to hold a special place in the 417.
