    Baked Meatballs

    picco pizza & ice cream is a cute, classic restaurant with good quality ingredients and great pizza. johan provided wonderful service for our last minute group of 6. we started with the meatball & whipped ricotta appetizer, which was a hit, great flavor & portioned well. we split the tagliatelle bolognese, it was pretty good, and they provided plenty of meat! for pizza, we ordered a pepperoni pizza which is loaded with pepperonis and loved by all. for our second pizza, we ordered half alastian and half broccoli, garlic & roma tomato. the broccoli, garlic & roma tomato pizza was not so good and left unfinished, although the alastian was really delicious, highly recommend. i wish we got a large alastian! meatball & whipped ricotta appetizer 9/10 tagliatelle bolognese 8/10 pepperoni pizza 10/10 alastian 9/10 broccoli, garlic & roma tomato 5/10 picco pizza & ice cream is ideal if you're looking for quality pizza with a group of friends or solo. they also have fresh ice cream with so many amazing flavors i can't wait to try next time! ambiance: 4.4/5 food: 4.1/5 drinks: n/a service: 5/5 picco pizza & ice cream: 4.5/5

    Picco is such a cute little neighborhood spot for pizza and ice cream. The service is quick and efficient and everyone working is super sweet. My cousin and I ordered the Alsatian pie which had sauteed onions, shallots, garlic, creme fraiche, bacon & gruyere cheese. The pizza was perfectly crispy but also soft where it needed to be. They use sourdough which really elevates the taste of the dough. After dinner we ordered some ice cream and it was absolutely delicious.

    Picco has maybe the best pizza in Boston in my opinion! The crust is super thin, the toppings are fun and the quality of dough is amazing. You can order from the menu or customize your pizza to your liking! We ordered a couple pizzas, a salad, a pasta and a couple of iced tea lemonades. The server asked us if we preferred the salad come out first vs the rest of the food which I really appreciated! Everything was delish and came out quickly. We sat inside but they have a really nice outdoor patio! I would definitely recommend Picco for a casual dinner!

    They have a great gluten free pizza crust!! The server was super friendly and attentive. Small alcohol menu -only beer and wine but that's fine. Both pizzas were good but maybe the sausage one was slightly better because of the pesto. Great gluten free pizza crust!!

    i loved picco!!! such a cute place not too much seating but that made it cozy. my pizza was so good! definitely very garlicky but it was also the garlic pizza. i also got their homemade ice cream of course and tried the coconut with chocolate chips and it was so delicious

    Okay, so there's no slice to be had here... However.. I was intrigued by the personal sized pizzas so I stayed for that.. Once I took my first bite, I knew I made the right call, a gooey, crunchy, flavorful experience all in one bite.. The food was great and the service got warmer with time. Pumped to come back for a large and run it back!

    The Alsatian

    Pro Tip: Save room for ice cream. Most specifically, the coffee chocolate chip cookie scooped ice cream. Sourdough-styled pizza, made fresh. Once dough runs out for the day, options become minimal. With that being said, there are plenty of options still available, event at 9 PM. Can order a Small pie (10 in/4 slices), which serves 1-2 people. Can also order a Large pie (14 in/8 slices), which serves 2-4 people. The Alsatian is, most definitely, the best pizza option on the menu. Caramelized onions, shallots, garlic, creme fresh, bacon and gruyere. Chef's kiss! Our second option, the mushroom Swiss Chard, was just meh. The Caesar salad was also forgettable...not worth the $14. Will certainly be back for the Alsatian and ice cream.

    Picco is love, Picco is life. Service has always been friendly and efficient. It gets busy, but you don't feel cramped. Great place to catch up with friends and colleagues. The line to get ice cream can get long in the summer. I can't say I like everything on the menu, but that's okay because there's always ice cream at the end. The meatballs are kind of bland. The acorn squash and brussels spouts are delicious. The hot honey wings are yummy, but a bit dry. The rigatoni and sausage were scrumptious. The alsatian pizza was meh. Sausage fennel and ricotta was fantastic. Four cheese is also really good. But honestly with the pizzas you can just add whatever toppings you want. Now the ice cream. This is my love letter to Picco's ice cream. You get so much ice cream in the small (photo) for just $5. You can also get a kids for $3 and it's a great size scoop! I love that the flavors changes and I haven't tried a flavor I didn't like. And don't disregard their dairy free flavors, they make them so creamy! The dark chocolate sorbet and the peach flavors were both delicious and made me question how they were dairy free. Otherwise, the caramel swirl, blueberry miso, coffee, cinnamon, peanut butter swirl, all delicious. You literally can't go wrong with Picco's ice cream.

    Good pizza with great selection of drinks! We did Half & Half large pizza with cheese and AL PASTOR. We were seated right away and service was quick and friendly. We also ordered delicious mac and cheese - you will like it if you prefer dry version! Their ice creams were def highlights of the night I can't wait to try their pasta soon :)

As tables became available, they would call people inside. I ended up at a small table by the bar area. I ordered a small chicken and prosciutto pizza. It was excellent and perfectly cooked as promised. The flavor combination was great: prosciutto, chicken, spinach, ricotta, roasted peppers, sauce, and mozzarella. So big I couldn't finish it.

We ordered a pizza by phone during the St. Anthony Feast, and the woman who took our order was curt and rude from the start -- I chalked it up to the festival rush. But it got worse when we picked up. We paid $32 for a pizza and asked if we could sit inside to eat it and there were plenty of available tables. We were told no -- inside is table service only, and takeout means you take it and eat elsewhere. Fine, except there was nowhere to sit outside at the festival. When we asked about using one of their own outdoor tables (they had roughly 30, and it was 11:15am, 45 minutes before the festival even started, so the tables were empty), we were told those were reserved for table-service customers only. This was after we'd already spent $32 in their restaurant. Regina's has been around for 100 years, but somewhere along the way they stopped caring about basic hospitality. Paying customers with nowhere to eat their food shouldn't be treated as an inconvenience. We won't be back.

I decided to go with the Wicked Pesto Pizza. It came with the signature crust, pesto base, grilled chicken, blue cheese, asiago, and fresh garlic. The driver dropped it off in front of the building and I picked it up. After first trying it, I was not impressed. It was very hard and dry. I had to reheat it in the microwave for it to be edible. I was expecting a delicious pizza packed with flavor. Instead I got something that I had to force myself to eat. I know Boston is not known for their pizza but I was expecting something halfway decent. If it was not for the Uber Eats discount I would have been upset with spending the cash.

The pizza was hands down one of the best we've had--perfectly crisp crust, fresh ingredients, and full of flavor in every bite.

While the kitchen delivered a solid meal, the service was so profoundly disappointing that it completely overshadowed the food. The culinary side of things easily earns a solid 3.5 out of 5 stars. We ordered a wide variety of items to share, and the highlights included: * The Pizzas: Creative flavor combinations with fresh, high-quality toppings and fantastic crusts. * The Bucatini Pasta: Perfectly cooked and packed with rich flavor. * The Asparagus Appetizer & The Chicken Milanese: Both executed well, flavorful, and cooked to a high standard. Unfortunately, the front-of-house experience was uniformly horrible. For a large party, hospitality can make or break the night, and our server missed the mark at every single turn: * Argumentative & Dismissive: He actively argued with our host regarding an appetizer that had been ordered in advance. When asked about vegetarian substitutions for a sold-out pasta dish, he curtly replied, "Pasta with butter is all we can do"--despite the fact that we could clearly see a wide variety of fresh vegetables being used right on their pizzas. * Inattentive: Dirty dishes piled up on our table, and when we politely asked for them to be cleared, he claimed he needed to get help and walked away completely empty-handed. Our drink orders were rarely checked on or refilled. * Rude to Guests: He displayed visible attitude and put-off body language whenever anyone asked a simple question. This peaked when he was outright rude to one of the young women in our party who simply wanted to put her order in a bit early because she had to leave before the rest of the group. It is a real shame because the ingredients and the kitchen's output are genuinely good. However, between the hostile attitude and the lack of basic service standards, we unfortunately won't be rushing back.

Even though I was born and raised in the Boston area and have resided here for the entirety of my three decade long life, I've never had the original Santarpio's pizza until just now. I remember eating at their second location on Route 1 not long after it opened, but I thought it was just okay. Ever since then I've always thought to myself, "the original has gotta be better, right?" Well, my boyfriend and I finally made our way to the original Santarpio's on a Saturday a little after noon. The place isn't much to look at but was hopping for the weekend lunch rush with almost every table full, and we got put in what appeared to be one of the last available tables in the place. Our order was taken very quickly after sitting down. The menu is strictly pizza with around a dozen toppings to choose from and a handful of grilled meats. That's it. We ordered a pizza with garlic and hot peppers as well as a steak tip skewer. The steak tips were juicy and cooked nicely, but they tasted like they lacked seasoning or marinade so I had to sprinkle some salt and pepper on them. Of course, the pizza is what we were really there for and I can tell you that it checks all the boxes for a classic pizza. The crust is on the thinner, crispier side which I actually prefer. The pie as a whole had a great color and good flavor between the cheese, sauce and toppings. After experiencing it for myself, it's pretty easy to understand why Santarpio's is so highly regarded in the world of pizza. They stick to what they know and they execute it well.

My birthday was noted on the reservation, but there was no acknowledgment of it when I arrived. I'm not expecting a grand celebration, but for a place with such a classy, trendy, upscale reputation, I expected a warmer welcome and at least some acknowledgment of the occasion. To me, service and hospitality are a huge part of the dining experience, and that initial welcome just didn't set the tone I was hoping for on my birthday. A heads-up if you're driving: there isn't parking immediately nearby, so expect to walk a little. Also, pay attention once you're on the street because GPS can be a little misleading when trying to locate the entrance. Thankfully, our server, Alexia was great! She was very kind, sweet, and attentive. I actually had to tell her myself that it was my birthday, and once she knew, she did what was necessary to acknowledge it and make the occasion feel a little more special. I really appreciated her for that. The food was good as well. I didn't end up trying any of their cocktails, which is unusual for me, especially during a birthday dinner. By that point, the overall experience just hadn't put me in the celebratory mood I had expected when I chose Yvonne's for the occasion. Maybe my expectations were higher because this was somewhere I'd wanted to visit for so long, but hospitality matters to me, especially at an establishment like this. Amanda helped turn things around, and the food was good, but the overall experience still left me disappointed. Will I come back? I'm honestly unsure.
