A little pricey but the food is amazing especially that ranch. Wing stop could literally never, and the staff were so nice and helpful! It is a very cozy restaurant and has a nice aesthetic. read more

Excellent food every time. I've never been disappointed with anything I've offered at Picone. Their specials are awesome and the pizza is perfect. read more

i've eaten here with Josie B. twice now and each time it has been MIND BLOWINGLY AMAZING. i live in Oklahoma, and now make this place a must whenever i drive through to Dallas. the burger just hits the spot. there are so many other menu items i want to try. they have also seriously upped the ambience! the patio is enclosed and insulated and has fans. they even put fairy patio lights in there! it's so cute. if you love yourself and your taste buds, you'll go to Picone read more

Best smash burger in Texas. The sauces they give you to dip the potatoes in is incredible. I've eaten there twice, both sit down inside and to go at home, and it was the same taste and quality across the board. I live in San Marcos but I dream about the smash burger and can't wait until I can visit again. Picone come to central Texas! read more

Awesome stuff, all the way around. Semi-rotating, seasonal menu, so call ahead to verify if thats important. They offer dine in and take out at the moment. Meatball grinder w/ basil gremolata, vodka penne with pancetta, papas bravas (amazing fried potatoes), burnt carrots w/lemon ricotta, and tiramisu all have been great. Call me pedestrian but the grinder is still my #1. Best part is its a bunch of dudes cooking with their hearts, and it all comes out in the food. Flavor 10/10 pretentious BS 0/10. No alcohol as of yet but they might allow BYOB, not sure. read more

The best food i've EVER had. I've eaten here about 5 times and every time they blow my mind. Today we got the OG Fried Chicken Sandwhich & the Birria Cheesburger. The sandwhich was so fkn good. read more

I can't count how many times we've eaten at Picones and everything is always delicious. Burgers are fab and potatoes with it are tender and crunchy with great flavor. Chicken Parmesan is so good. It's likely my favorite no matter the sauce. Burnt carrots with the lemon ricotta are a must. Tony takes carrots to a whole new level! And then there are specials - always very creative and will never disappoint. All in all, our favorite dining out spot. And BYOB! read more

Great food, very friendly staff. Appetizer was the standout by far, but the burger had a bit too much sauce. Would definitely recommend Picone! read more

The food was excellent! I had the chicken parm and was pleasantly surprised with the flavor. Very well seasoned and has a flavor jam-type sauce on top that added a nice touch. Will be back! read more

Picone - Chicken Parm with penne pasta - Italian Near Me - Denton, Texas

Excellent food! Fabulous service! Comfortable patio! Perfect evening to catch up with friends. The burnt carrot and crispy potatoes were delicious. Husband ordered the meat grinder. Loved it. read more

The burgers and service was very good. A little warm in the enclosed patio and lot more A/C is needed for the summer heat. We will be going back. read more

This place has the potential to be great. The food was good. It came out hot. The service was good. I wanted more water, but I couldn't ask for it because a rush of people came in and swamped the front. Maybe they need more help. Also, they don't have a drink fountain, so there are no refills or iced tea. Maybe that will come with time. The ambiance is lacking big time. I understand they must have just started up, but wow, this building is like a garage with plywood and spray foam holding it together. The restaurant is so small, perhaps a to-go order would be better for now. read more

Someone recommended this place to me because of the burger. The burger had no flavor and it wasn't cheap or good.

I really hope in the future they expand the menu. We came for lunch and my choices were: Italian / Cuban sub, chicken parm with red sauce, chicken parm with Alfredo, and a burger. That's it. Burger was good which is why they got 3 stars. Lack of options is a problem. I go to a place called Picones and expect Italian options and not just chicken parm. Hopefully they'll work on that. read more

very mediocre experience. The smashburger was very overpowered by the sauce couldnt taste the meat or anything else on the burger straight sauce. The chicken parm is had so much potential chicken was good and crispy and the sauce was tasty, good flavor, but the noodle were nearly ice cold through off the whole meal. best part was the side crispy potato chunks with the burger. read more

Flies. Pink chicken. Also tough chicken. Burgers were overpriced and potato "crisps" were actually decent - but made me feel like I spent two hours in a Long John Silver's, iykyk. Flies. Zero ambiance, the ceiling was made of spray foam. Yellow spray foam. Overrated and overpriced. Cashier and servers were very nice, although ketchup does come in packets. read more

Best Italian food we have had in Denton. We had the chicken parmigiana sandwich with a side penne red sauce and the original chicken parmigiana with side penne pesto past. Everything was deliciously flavored and staff was so welcoming! read more

Love,Love Picone!!! If you have not tried them highly recommend! Smashburger and Italian pork sandwich is tastee!

Don't get the hype. Had a chicken parm that was drowning in hot honey. The place was also dirty. Service was fine. I guess with the lack of good dining in Denton this might be someplace that's different enough to stand out. My kid did get a sandwich special that was much better than what I got. read more

Picone surprised me with delicious food and byow (bring your own wine) atmosphere. We started with the charred carrot for an appetizer and wow it was so delicious. I had the meatball sandwich. The meatballs were so delicious, but it was hard to eat it as the meatballs were huge--not the worst problem to have. My daughter had the hamburger and I took a bit and it was a good burger. My wife had the chicken parmigiana sandwich and it was so good, so everything we ordered was tasty. I will say as a family going there that there was no kid's menu, so if this is an issue for you be forewarned. It was a nice evening, so we ate on their patio, otherwise, seating can be limited. Great addition to the Denton food scene. read more

came back. actually perfect still. this burger tastes like they locked the top scientists of the world in an underground bunker with no food or water allowed until they came up with the best burger recipe and this was that creation. if i for some reason has to choose a last meal i believe that this would be a component. amazing service, the porch is nice and cool now which is greatly appreciated read more

I had heard about PICCONE from several friends who raved about the food. We ordered takeout a few nights ago. We got the mozzarella salad, a ribeye steak w mashed potatoes and a grilled onion ( $47) We also added a chicken Parmesan with rigatoni pasta ($17$) . EVERYTHING was delicious. The steak was cooked med rare - perfectly like we requested. The chicken parm was very tasty. The service was great! What it doesn't have in ambiance is made up with high quality food! read more

smash hit every time. picone never disappoints!!! love coming back to view the specials (check their instagram/fb). we looooove picone!!! the staff is so friendly and lovely. read more

Amazing food!! One of my favorite spots in Denton. A must try! A very cozy restaurant with friendly staff. I love that the menu always has new things. read more

My favorite restaurant in Denton. Not a bad meal on the menu! Check this place out, you won't be disappointed!

Picone is great for families and date night. They have a small menu that changes regularly, but customer favorites like the burnt carrots are always available. Don't let the road construction deter you-this place is worth it! Side note-this place is BYOB. read more

Wow, just wow! The food was amazing! Tried the burnt carrots and crispy potatoes and they did not disappoint! So much flavor in traditionally bland vegetables. The chicken parm was perfectly crisp yet tender and juicy and the penne was delicious. The crown jewel was the smash burger, we were so full but could not leave any of that burger. Solid local restaurant and we can't wait to go back! read more

So I've been dying to try this place as Boca is one of my favs in Denton (this is the sous chef). Came on a night they weren't even supposed to be open and had the only thing available: chicken sandwich. Made me want to burn Popeyes down like happened to Boca. Definitely try it out but watch putt for the hours as they are still trying to get things going (they've been open like two weeks at the writing of this). read more

Great good, chef was so kind and explained the menu to us, and it's just a cool spot downtown! Not a ton of seating indoors but the patio adds more space. We'll be back! read more

So we went here because the food pics looked amazing and the 4.8 star rating. I'm hoping our experience was just a fluke but it was not good. I got the OG Fried chicken sandwich. The TOASTED bun was cold. The pickles had no taste. I dunno how that's even possible. The fried chicken was super small, way over cooked and quite honestly pretty tasteless. The fried potatoes that came with it were so over cooked that 3 of the 5 in the basket were burnt black. My wife had the Chicken Parm and she said it was good except again the chicken was super overcooked and you could definitely tell by just looking at it. Our friends had the Mac n cheese and the lasagna. She said her Mac n cheese was really good. He said the lasagna was ok but the portion was so small it looked like a kids plate. All that said, it's a neat little place. The employees were super nice but I dunno that I would go back again. I probably should give it 2 stars instead of the 3 I gave it. read more

Excellent food and pleasant atmosphere. The smoked brisket was absolutely amazing! The home made fries are delicious!

We really enjoyed our meal. The staff were competent and very accommodating, no kids menu but they offered to make our kid pasta with sauce which she loved! Burger was one of the best I have had, best in Denton at least. Chicken parm was excellent. Really liked the place, will return. Good music too read more

Got the pork sandwich, chicken park sandwich, and roasted carrot delivered. All were fantastic and the potatoes are insane. You can tell everything on the (limited in a good way) menu is home made, thought out, and made with care. Everything tasted great and held up well through delivery. My new go to spot. You need to eat here ASAP. read more

We had the pork rigatoni and the chicken parm entrees last night - sharing both. They were AMAZING! I can't wait to try something else! With cold weather on the way, maybe there will be some Italian Wedding Soup in my future? read more

We have been wanting to try Picone for quite some time, and finally we did and we weren't disappointed. The Food is AMAZING!!! My wife is a picky eater and she Loved every bite. We are life long Dentonites and we love our locally owned restaurant. This will be on our list for years to come. My son and I had the smash burger with Crispy potatoes, So Flavorful. My wife had a special order of pesto chicken Parm, and she loved every bite. The Brunt Carrot!!! Oh my God!!! It so freaking Good. Seriously, Ya'll Eat there, and Eat there often. read more
