Picco is one of our favorite neighborhood places. Personalized service, great food. We always order a salad, the Margherita Pizza and finish with the homemade ice cream. The owners run the biz well and treat their crew like family.

Laura was spot-on and helpful, as always. She was working really hard that night. Always a pro !! Food was great as ever. The tomato sauce actually tasted better than usual, in that it seemed a little less acidic. Who knows ?!..might’ve just been my imagination, but I thought I noticed a difference. It was great to be back for another great night. You folks are tops, always, at everything you do. Thanks again ! - Joey

I always enjoy eating at Pico, service is friendly & food is excellent! They did a great job with their patio during this pandemic, made me feel very comfortable. The tables were spaced well apart and the staff did an amazing job keeping everything clean. Our waitress was very busy but seemed to take great care of all of her tables! Our lunch was a great experience and I look forward to my next visit!

The outdoor dining at Picco was absolutely delightful . The tables were nicely spaced out , wait staff wore masks , tables were very clean before sitting down . Our server Brandon was fantastic ! And .. last but least the food was delicious .. the fish tacos were sooo good , and healthy :) Would highly recommend ordering them. But lots to choose from on the menu :) It was a wonderful experience !

During the time of COVID, PICCO is doing an excellent job of making customers feel safe. They have you look at the menu and pay on the phone, they sanitize the tables and chairs, and the tables are significantly spaced apart. As always the pizza was delicious!! I do wish they kept at least one kind of non-alcoholic beer for people who don’t drink. :)

Jim and I finally ate out last night, for the first virus-era time, on Picco’s new street-corner patio. It was a great experience despite masks, table spacing, the occasional noisy truck passing by, etc. Warm, attentive service. Delicious food. Beautiful early-evening weather, with great people-watching all around us. The only reason ambiance is rated 9 instead of 10 was occasional noise from passing vehicles, which of course the restaurant can’t do anything about.

I have loved this restaurant for many years now. I’m never disappointed. Great pizza and wonderful IPA Beers. I discovered this restaurant about a year after they opened thanks to a review in USA Today that was very good so I sought this restaurant out and I have never looked back. When I’m in Boston I go 2 to 3 times a week. Wish they were in the Midwest

One wait person is not enough. There should be a second one for lunch on the patio. Too much work for one person. Otherwise, good food and comfortable setting and tables far apart.

I gave an 8 to the food simply because I had not realized how quickly the dish I ordered would become cold in the cooler weather. I gave an 8 to the service simply because the server did not return to the table until I signaled her, which was after a LONG time after she brought our check, to take my payment. She thought I understood what is meant on the check where it send 'contactless' payment or something like that. I saw that and thought it meant using my card without giving it to her or putting it in a reader. I had never experienced the QR code version of contactless.

There was no mention of only outdoor seating, not a big deal. However it was cold and there was no form of heating, there weren't even lights to see our food or ourselves.
