The restaurant is currently undergoing renovations that will further improve the dining experience. The food is excellent, and the service is outstanding. The ambiance is pleasant, and when live music is featured, Picco Tavern truly shines as a destination. You definitely get your money's worth and then some. It’s a lot of fun! View all feedback.

What Russel Langworth dislikes about Picco:
The food is average, the costs are above average, the service is poor, longer waiting times. The best quality of this restaurant is that it is quiet and can have a conversation. View all feedback.

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.

Excellent food and service with a feel for local products. Cakes are incredible - especially nice for a special occasion.

The restaurant offers average food with above-average prices and poor service, resulting in longer waiting times. However, the quiet atmosphere allows for pleasant conversations. While some issues were raised, such as limited handicapped access during a Mother's day buffet or an automatic 20% gratuity charge, most customers appreciated the quality of the dishes and the attentive staff service. Specialties like the morel sauce chicken and the vodka chicken received high praise, while the overall experience, including live music performances, renovations to enhance the ambiance, and accommodating owners, left diners satisfied and eager to return. In conclusion, Picco Tavern is a go-to spot for delicious meals, great service, and enjoyable moments, making it a favorite among Rochester restaurants.

Last night, I enjoyed a simple yet elegant meal at Picco Tavern, nestled in a cozy corner after a long and successful business meeting. Our waitress, Kelly, was truly exceptional and made our experience memorable. Gloria ordered the capellini with crab, which was absolutely divine, along with an open steak sandwich. I savored some oysters paired with my martini and indulged in my favorite dish, eggplant parmesan. The red sauce made by Mike Monaco is simply out of this world. To top it all off, Mike even stopped by our table, and we were treated to some talented live piano music. It was a wonderful evening all around!

We visited primarily to see the talented singer and musician, Lonnie Youngblood, performing on Friday, and we’re so glad we did! The venue features a good-sized dance floor and provides a fantastic view of the performer. The restaurant boasts beautiful decor, soft lighting, and coffered ceilings that create a lovely atmosphere. The menu offers reasonably priced upscale Italian cuisine, along with a selection of daily specials. The food was delightful, with generous portions. The service was top-notch as well. Plus, there’s a lovely outdoor patio and complimentary valet parking. We’re excited to try their Sunday brunch soon, especially for the unlimited mimosas!

For drinks, my wife opted for a Vodka Lemonada, while I enjoyed a glass of Merlot. We started our meal with the Formaggio e Salumi, a delightful selection of cheeses and cured meats that provided more than enough for both of us. For our main courses, my wife chose the Pappardelle with Short Ribs, and I went for the Cappelini with Lump Crab. Both dishes were superb. I finished mine happily, while my wife took almost half of hers home to savor later. Now I wish I had saved some of mine for the same treat! To top off our meal, we shared a luscious tiramisu for dessert, and I had a cup of coffee. Overall, it was a fantastic meal and an ideal night out.

It was absolutely delicious! I've been there twice in just one week! You can really tell that they use only the freshest and highest quality ingredients. They've updated the menu and changed the chef, and now there's a great variety of dishes at reasonable prices. They also have a deli offering fresh takeout options like salads, sandwiches, and dinners. If this place were in my building, I would dine there every day!

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.

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

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.
