This restaurant serves fresh, delicious food. We opted to sit outside on the porch, which was a lovely choice. The indoor area was also pleasant and peaceful.

I made a reservation, and it was confirmed. However, when I arrived at the restaurant, I found it closed for renovations.

The Picco Tavern is a lovely establishment with fantastic food located in the heart of The Sack. The menu offers numerous excellent options, but I particularly adore their artisanal pizza pies.

I had a wonderful lunch with a friend. The shrimp pasta was delicious, and my friend enjoyed a Neapolitan salad with grilled chicken, which was also fantastic! The portions were so generous that I had to take some home. I highly recommend this place.

The staff was wonderful and friendly, creating a lovely atmosphere. The drinks and food were fantastic. I can't wait to come back and experience it again after the Covid-19 restrictions are lifted.

Incredible service and delicious food! I always opt for delivery, and it arrives quickly. Everyone I've spoken to on the phone, as well as the drivers, is very friendly and professional. I can't wait to try their brunch!

I figured I would give this place a try for the THIRD time, considering the fact that I live only a few blocks away. Same old stuff, bad service, people arguing in the bar area,waited 25 minutes for my first course and the food was a mess on the plate. and undercooked. The girl in front was very busy on her phone so I was ignored. The average age of the patrons at the bar my best guess was over seventy years old . Who runs this place? When will this beautiful looking place turn around, I guess that they need a new staff and a new general manager. Good luck eating at Picco Tavern. The food overall was below average.

I've been visiting Piccos for several years, and I even held my baby shower there! Everyone praised the food, which is absolutely fantastic. My family and I typically dine here a few times a month, and my favorites are the meatball spaghetti and calamari. I highly recommend it; everything on the menu is delicious!

This was my first visit to the restaurant, and overall, I had a good experience with both the food and service. However, there were two drawbacks: my steak was overcooked and cut too thin, and the wine was not served at the right temperature. Despite these issues, we will definitely return, especially because the short ribs we ordered were absolutely delicious. When a place can create a dish that good, I believe it deserves another chance. I just hope they get the wine temperature right next time.

Picco has had its moments over the years, but when you call to place a takeout order and they ask how you prefer your broccoli rabe, you know they’ve got it figured out! Everything at Picco is delicious and consistently high quality. Well done, everyone! #broccolirabesnob #competitivebroccolirabecook

I absolutely adore everything about this stunning establishment! From the warm welcome at the entrance to its beautiful décor and overall vibe, everything is simply fantastic! This place is truly a hidden gem! I would have never imagined that the interior of this restaurant looks so remarkable! It’s truly an experience! They offer a wide array of options, including a deli marketplace on the left side. There are also two heated outdoor terraces, as well as two additional heated rooftop areas upstairs. This venue features three bars—two on the ground floor and one on the second floor. It's definitely an incredible location for hosting weddings, bridal showers, or even baby showers on the second floor. The possibilities at Picco Tavern are endless! I highly recommend dining in or ordering takeout!

Nice little hidden gem in the area. Outside dining is a nice touch on a cool quiet night. The food are drinks are really good and I doubt they would have many disappointments for their full menu, definitely recommended if you are nearby or want to make a drive.

Attended an engagement dinner. There's valet parking the poor guy was working alone but was very quick and organized. I felt bad because it was pretty cold. The food was great. I had the Salmon Balsamic and it was amazing. Fried calamari appetizer was some of the best I've tasted. The heated outdoor balcony area on the 2nd floor was very comfortable as well. I actually spent more time out there than inside. The bartender made great drinks too.

I was pleasantly surprised by how spacious this restaurant is. There's a designated area for dancing, and the DJ did a great job with the music mix. The food and drinks were enjoyable, and the server was friendly.

Exceptional food in an authentic, non-demanding environment. Our waitress was very attentive and helpful, which added to the great experience. For bread lovers, there are 3 different breads, all of which are made there and are all wonderful. I stop on the way out of town to pick up bread and take it home to friends. My salad was fabulous and the vodka chicken pasta (a specialty) was cooked perfectly with a wonderful sauce. The specials change with the seasons. Desserts are all made there and everyone looked great. We share the ice cream on Sunday with homemade caramelized marshmallows and chocolate ganache. It was wonderful. You can share it with 4 people as it is very large. We will definitely have dinner here again when we return to Mayo and Golf.

My friend and I haven 't been to a Sunday brunch in ages. Picco Tavern is right down the street from where I live. When I got an email from them a couple of weeks ago, I suggested we try it. I am so happy we did. The food was delicious. The wait staff were very friendly and polite. We will be back.
