This is our second visit to this restaurant, and once again, the service and food were excellent. We started with meatballs and artichoke for appetizers; the meatballs were on the dry side, but the sauce complemented them well. The artichoke was seasoned perfectly. For our main courses, we had the swordfish and the NY strip steak, both of which were delicious. They offer an extensive drink menu and a good selection o... 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.

Excellent food! This is a restaurant that we often go to when we celebrate a special occasion. The owners are great people and they will accommodate you with changes to the dish to make it what you need.

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.

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!

I had the pleasure of visiting this restaurant for my friend's baby shower, and it was a fantastic experience. The food was delicious, and the staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. The service was outstanding, and the ambiance was perfect for the celebration. I will definitely be returning and highly recommend this place for any event!

I visited the restaurant for the first time today, and I was quite impressed. The atmosphere is very inviting, making it suitable for both formal and casual attire. There’s a bar area that offers food for a more laid-back experience. The food itself was outstanding! The staff was attentive, courteous, and highly professional. I will definitely return! It's clear that the new management is experienced and top-notch.

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.

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

However, today when my family went back, we noticed that the price on the restaurant's website had been updated to $32 per person and $14 for kids without any prior notice. We were eagerly looking forward to another amazing brunch. To our surprise, there was no omelet station, no complimentary Bloody Mary or Mimosa, and the grand seafood and cheese display we had remembered was gone. Instead, there was just one buffet set up in a single room. It was nowhere near what we had expected. To make matters worse, the price had actually risen to $55 per person. We received less food than before and no complimentary drinks. Disappointed, we decided to leave and won’t be returning. The hostess explained that they had lost a lot of money during COVID, which I can understand, but increasing the price by 40% while providing much less is not acceptable. If they need to charge more, they should maintain the same quality of brunch. Poor business ethics. We won’t be back.

This is an excellent restaurant. The food is consistently top-notch, and the service is great as well. It's seldom crowded, which adds to the pleasant atmosphere. I believe the name doesn't fully represent how wonderful it is. The restaurant itself is elegantly decorated and spacious. The rooftop area is perfect for a pleasant evening, and it’s heated for comfort. It’s definitely one of my favorite spots.

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!

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.
