Nestled in Ballard, this Italian restaurant observes a blend of enchanting ambiance and attentive service, perfect for family gatherings or date nights. Guests have raved about delectable dishes, from fresh pasta to indulgent desserts like tiramisu and crème brûlée. However, several reviews reveal inconsistencies in food quality, including small portions and unremarkable flavors, leading to disappointment, especially with high prices. While some diners kindly praise the restaurant's delightful atmosphere and friendly staff, others express frustration over restrictive dining timelines and inattentive service. Ultimately, this establishment remains polarizing, loved by many yet critiqued by others.

Was User at Picolinos a mag?
beautiful surroundings...Cimplete with bed linen. sitting outdoors with beautiful fabrics, fires, music and wonderful staff. eating was delicious and the menu is varied. many customers dressed for a special evening added to the environment. (yes, there were also some who wore denim, including me, but overall everyone looked suitable for this beautiful place.) it was an unforgettable evening. View all feedback.

What User dislikes about Picolinos:
The “special” butter lettuce salad had very little lettuce and the other ingredients were barely detectable. All for $14. Ling cod “special” was mushy fish and a sauce that was just tired, obviously not freshly prepared. Chicken Marsala did not taste like Marsala. Pizza had almost no sauce and even less flavor. The 2017 wine we ordered turned out to be 2019, no explanation and no price adjustment. View all feedback.

This restaurant is a hidden neighborhood gem that offers delicious Italian cuisine. The food is top-notch and there are multiple dining options available. You can choose to dine in the elegant dining room, on the enclosed patio for outdoor dining on colder days, or in the beautiful backyard during the summer. I highly recommend putting this restaurant on your list of must-try locations. You won't be disappointed!
