A little bit loud so beware if you're looking for intimate conversation you may have to yell a little lol. I had the lasagna. This was my plan B. It was pretty good but I only got it in my devastation that they were out of aglio olio. Also the lasagna was enormous! But another extra bummer.... They were also out of the ravioli (which is what my dinner companion wanted). However both our meals and the service were good enough to still try to go back to try our original cravings! We also did try the garlic Parmesan breadsticks as an app. Pretty good. But so much bread. My own fault for eating more than one lol

Ever get very excited when you finally get back to a place you haven't been in a while? That's how…read morewe were when we finally went back to Picasso's last night. They're located at 10503 San Jose Blvd over in Mandarin. It was a night of firsts! We had an appetizer we've never had before, then we both ordered things we've never had before. We started with the St. Louis Ravioli, which was great. Don't be intimidated by the size on the photo, they just puff up a LOT. Many people have raved about the steak at Picasso's so I finally ordered it last night. Their special was Prime New York Strip and holy cow, it was a big steak! I ordered it medium rare and it was cooked perfectly. Every single one of you who were raving about the steak were not lying. It was seasoned well, juicy & tender...just excellent. My wife tried their Meatball Madness pizza, which she ordered St. Louis Style. She'd never tried that style of pizza before and she really liked it. It's a very thin crust pizza, cut into squares. She REALLY liked the meatballs to the point where she kept saying that the next time we come back, she wants to try their spaghetti & meatballs. We got there right at 4:30 when they open for dinner and they were packed almost instantly. It's worth noting that our server Kelsie was fantastic through the whole meal. One nice touch was that she took our leftovers, boxed them up and brought them back to us. That may not seem like a huge thing but it's a little touch we always like.

Well I was finally able to try this restaurant for the first time. The restaurant looks deceiving…read morefrom the outside, looks small but they have another joining room along with an outdoor patio. The parking is very small so you're limited. Extra parking in the back but it looked like it was for other businesses. It was a Saturday night so the other businesses were closed, so it didn't matter. Greeted promptly, was seated with a reservation for 5 at 6:45pm. Immediately asked what we wanted to drink and a warm bread basket was immediately brought out with oil and vinegar dipping. The bread is delicious! The service was prompt and always were there to serve us. We tried a smaller sample of the Cheese Pasta bowl to share with our table. It looked really rich to eat as an entree but it was a delicious side appetizer dish. Very fresh noodles in that melted creamy cheese. Delicious! And also 2 side dishes of the fried Potato Croquette's. Comes with marinara dipping sauce. Delicious! I tried the Ultimate Chicken Vodka Parm with spicy Penne noodles. The fried chicken was cooked perfectly but I wasn't a great fan of the Vodka sauce on the Parm, but I wanted to try something different. It was still good just not my favorite. We also got a picture of Red Sangria. I also wasn't a fan of Sangria a little less sweet than I'm used to. It was okay. Overall we had a great time and the food was very fresh and I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone to try. Just not in our neighborhood to come back on a regular basis since we live near the Jacksonville Airport.

This was a very nice grocery store with an impressive variety of items. From the premade section…read morewith things like kimchi and soba noodles, to the fresh produce like squash leaves, radishes, and green onions, everything looked fresh and well stocked. They also had a great selection of meat such as beef bones for broth or even miso for soups and more, plus a dry goods area with several types of rice, cooking extracts, and sauces. One thing that really stood out was the variety of wrappers available for different kinds of dim sum (such as shumai wrappers and bao buns), which can be hard to find in many places. Beyond food, they also carry hair care products, soaps, and kitchen items like plates, bowls, chopsticks, sakè dishes, and soy sauce containers. They even have a nice little baked goods section where you can grab a snack while you shop. Overall, this store really seems to have a bit of everything and is a great place to find both everyday ingredients and specialty items.

It's small but packed. They stock a fantastic range of imported products, from snacks to beauty to drinks to groceries. They also have a nice baked goods section at the front. The store also features a gleaming butcher area where they sell a whole range of pre-cut and cut-to-order items, as well as pre-marinated deliciousness. I only visited because I had a massive wait at the DMV and now feel ridiculous at having never made the time to check them out before. The restaurant the shop is attached to also looks and smells amazing, so I'm totally going back for both. Do yourself a favour and check this place out.

Having said that what an awesome way to end my birthday with this amazing dinner that I had at this place. One of the best Italian restaurants in Jacksonville I must say. As soon as me and my wife walked in to the restaurant we were greeted and sat right away. The ambiance of this restaurant is truly amazing and very Italian vibe. We were greeted by our server MORGAN who was fantastic from beginning to the end. She suggested some incredible stuff that as a vegetarian I tried and was just amazing. For drinks we had mojito and pinacolada which was nice and refreshing. For appetiser we were recommended with Pomodoro Caprese which was amazing especially their Pesto sauce. For my entree she suggested me Luingini Josephine which was unique and nice pasta. Morgan surprised me with a dessert which was very kind of her. Overall this family owned small business is an amazing must try Italian restaurant. I can't wait to back and try more stuff. I highly recommend this restaurant.

We ordered a large pepperoni pizza plus 2 slices of their margarita grandma pizza. The staff were friendly and we enjoyed the atmosphere. The line was long and consistent but it moved quickly. The pepperoni pizza was very, very greasy. I'm okay with some grease but this was way more than normal to the point my plate had a huge puddle of grease. I had to soak it up with napkins just to keep my plate usable. It also didn't have a whole lot of flavor which I was surprised by. I really liked the grandma slice and wished we ordered a whole pizza instead of just a couple slices. Not sure we would give them another try despite enjoying the grandma slices.
