La Piccola Liguria Restaurant

Italian food in Port Washington often means red-sauce staples, but some spots push further into regional flavors. On Shore Road, La Piccola Liguria Restaurant keeps a low profile among the waterfront storefronts, offering a menu that leans toward the northern coast. The place does lunch and dinner, with a wine list that tends to favor Italian bottles—useful if you’re after something beyond the usual Chianti.

At 47 Shore Rd, Port Washington, NY 11050, they serve more than pasta. Coffee and cocktails share the spotlight, and the dessert case usually has a few options worth saving room for. Solo diners seem to show up as often as groups, which suggests the portions aren’t just built for sharing. Beer and local specialties round out the offerings, though don’t expect the kind of sprawling menu that tries to cover every region at once.

If you’re heading over, the map should get you close, but Shore Road can get tight with parking. Call ahead at (516) 767-6490 to confirm seating, especially if you’re aiming for a weekend slot. Directions are here: https://www.google.com/maps/place?ftid=0x89c28ed5915db079:0xafcbb468394358ba.
