Picco Restaurant

“We ate here on a Monday night. Some restaurants close on Monday or Tuesday because it slows down during these days. But, this place is so good, it was lively! Staff: All staff were so friendly and attentive. It is one of those places you felt like the staff just anticipated your needs without being overbearing. They were professional, but not stuffy and kept a great sense of humor. The atmosphere: Lively, but not so loud or the tables too close that you can't hold a conversation. I loved the high beamed ceilings. Food: Delicious! Everything we had was super! We started with salads and appetizers: Arancini was crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside with a light tomato sauce (delicious), The salmon ceviche on crispy potato was light and flavorful with different textures to tease your mouth. The calamari salad was light with a hint of citrus and spice. For main dishes we had the Yellow curry with root veggies. Nice light curry flavor without it being overwhelming, creamy and delicious. The gnocchi was light fluffy pillows that practically melt in your mouth with just a little crispy on the outside to give it some texture. Amazingly we had room for dessert. The apple pear tart was simply divine. Light, flaky, sweet sensation! We had ours with their homemade caramel sauce! Yummm! All the plates were finished off and delicious.”

“Excellent service, absolutely stunning atmosphere, and incredible tasting food! The gnocchi & Risotto were especially delicious! Their pizza is also the best in the West, and I highly recommend it as well!”

“We’ve enjoyed this restaurant in the past, so this visit was a bit disappointing. The food was fine, but not quite as good as we remember. What really impacted the experience, though, was the service. We were seated outside and our server was very disengaged—no smile, no conversation, and minimal interaction and effort overall. We were not greeted initially and had to get his attention to open our wine. It felt like we were more of an obligation than guests, which took away from what should have been an enjoyable meal with the family. Service plays a big role in the overall dining experience, and unfortunately this time it made the evening feel flat.”

“A bit of a walk down memory lane. Still enjoy the food, but it feels like the menu hasn't really changed in years. Business seems good, so the formula obviously works - just maybe starting to feel more like a cover band. What has changed are the prices. I know that costs are up everywhere, but as an example, dinner ended up being around the same per head as a recent meal at State Bird Provisions in the City - with way less variety, inspiration AND volume. Really, no comparison. I'm sure we will continue to visit (nostalgia is quite the drug!) but it isn't as special as it used to feel.”

“The food was fine, but nothing else, unfortunately. They couldn't find our reservation, even though we had a confirmation, so an outside table wasn't available. Pizza is served only to outside tables. Huh? Basically, only small plates/appetizers are vegetarian. Our orders came one plate at a time over about ten minutes, indifferently set down wherever was convenient, wordlessly. Again: huh?”
