    Baked Meatballs
    Em B.

    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 :)

    Any freebies or special celebration if it’s your Birthday?

    Not that I know of. You could "check-in" using the Yelp app to get a free scoop of ice cream. Birthday or no birthday!

    Any eat here with food allergies? Specifically peanut.

    We asked, they are nut free, including the pesto

    Is the crust sourdough?

    Hi. I am dough maker at Picco. We do use sourdough. Dough recipe has evolved over time. For the last year or so it is sourdough with 24 hour cold fermentation and about 80% hydration. Happy to answer any questions. Rick

    This place was awesome!!!…read more If you are a Gen X'er, and love great cocktails, you will love this place! So we are from out of town; Texas, to be exact, and we were in Boston on vacation. We were looking for a place we could get some drinks and appetizers, and maybe watch some sports. A person in our group found this place online, so we gave it a try. We loved it! The 80s & 90s decor, as well as the 80s & 90s music they were playing made it an instant hit for our Gen X group. Every single song that was played was on my personal playlist, so we sang along and danced at our table to the tunes that took us back in time. There were some early 2000s songs played, too, but all songs played were songs we know and love. So needless to say, we loved the music!! Also, the drinks...oh my, the drinks. They were so, so good! Some in our group had the Adult Caprisun, including myself. It was so tasty, and served in an actual pouch, which brought me back to my 80s childhood. Another in our group ordered the Pink Flamingo which came with a little inflatable pink flamingo that you could take home with you. We noticed that the drinks were just perfect, too; not too strong with alcohol, and not watered down, either. The food was okay. It's bar food, so it's not going to knock your socks off or anything, but it hits the spot if you are drinking and hanging with friends. Our server was good. She was attentive to our needs and took good care of us. It was interesting to me that we, a group of age 50 somethings, were the oldest among the clientele, as everyone else was probably in their 20s or early 30s, but we didn't care. We had a great time! The only reason I did not give this place 5 stars is because someone in our group wanted to watch the Red Sox game, and apparently it was on Apple TV that night and the bar didn't have Apple TV.

The atmosphere is very casual and low-key, perfect for grabbing drinks and a bite without any pretense. I ordered a flatbread listed as a Margarita, but it was more like a cheese pizza than a true Margarita. It was still decent, just not what I expected. The online menu did not match what was available at the restaurant, which made ordering a little confusing. On the drink side, the wine selection was underwhelming, but the beer list was solid, and the cocktail menu stood out. They clearly put more focus on mixed drinks. This is not a fine dining destination, but it works well for what it is, a laid-back bar with better-than-average food and a great drink program. I rate it 3.5 stars, but will round up to 4 for the strong service and cocktails. It is a good choice if you're looking for a casual spot downtown with good energy.

Service was quite slow as initially there…read morewas only one dedicated, friendly employee handling the seating, taking orders and busing the tables. My order of yogurt with fruit and granola was fresh, filling and a yummy beginning to my day. My coffee was equally enjoyed, and note that it's $13 for each small coffee pot. Refills are not complimentary. I loved my window table on this rainy morning, and the lovely, cozy ambiance of The Street Bar. It's easy to see why this is such a sought after bar each evening.

This was a day I had planned for…read moremonths with my daughter and future stepdaughter, an important and meaningful occasion, and the experience fell significantly below expectations. In advance, I stopped into the hotel to confirm that a gluten-free guest could be accommodated and was assured this would be handled. In reality, the accommodation was inadequate and, at times, unacceptable. While the rest of us were served scones, my stepdaughter was given cut fruit in their place, and told that was all they had to accommodate.The dessert course consisted of what appeared to be basic gluten-free cookies, misrepresented as something more gourmet - egg nog cookies??? This lack of preparation was both disappointing, upsetting and avoidable. The broader experience was equally concerning. We were subjected to an unsolicited and uncomfortable "lesson" on tea service, which detracted from what should have been a relaxed and celebratory occasion. While trying to enjoy the time with the girls, being a lifelong tea drinker and someone who has been to many times at your establishment and its various incarnations, this is something I have never experienced. The food quality was poor (scones were clearly reheated and stuck to the cloth napkin they were wrapped in), and there were notable service lapses, including being served water in a visibly shattered glass. Additionally, when hot water was added to refresh the tea, my stepdaughter's pot curdled and had to be replaced. It was especially disappointing, as I mentioned that I had stopped in and spoken with the concierge, and was assured, as they had called the kitchen while I stood there that they readily accommodated gluten-free. There are numerous places in the city that could have done this, and if you had just told me that you could not do so, I would have booked us elsewhere. I chose not to raise the multiple issues in the moment so as not to disrupt what was meant to be a special day for the girls and me. However, the total cost exceeded $500, and the experience did not come close to justifying that price point! Do not recommend.

But our table was in the main bar off to the side, so it was chaotic but fun. I do wish it was more private but it was still fun, just loud. Our waitress was really nice and did well with our large party. Their menu is mostly apps and smaller plates, so if you're looking more for a large meal this is not your spot. I got the nashville hot mozzarella sticks which were actually pretty good, I liked the tomato relish they put on top and the ranch was really good. Dive Bar Diva was my cocktail which was pretty good. My friends seemed to like their drinks and bar bites. After dinner we went upstairs to the club and got to skip the line (thankfully). The line for the club wraps around the building down the street most nights, so we got lucky. Dance floor is upstairs and it's pretty small, just one room. There were two DJs that night, and the music was really good. Bar was fun, they handed out free chicken tenders at one point and were squirting shots into peoples mouths out of gatorade bottles. It was awesome. Bathroom line upstairs for women was crazy, only one bathroom and it took a long line. I suggest going downstairs... but at least you'll see the famous cheetah print walls! I will say trying to get in contact with the reservation staff was difficult but finally they answered after days of my friends and I trying.
