“ Wow wow wow. You order at the front go find your table and chill. Very good. We got the chicken Parm and burger. I was so excited to eat my burger, I couldn't even get a clear photo. Honestly, the best burger I've ever had. The chicken Parm wasn't the best thing in the world, but I would definitely order it again. The side of potatoes on the burger with that sauce was the delicious. ”
“ A casual simple restaurant, quite small. Counter service. Order, pay and get number. Limited selections of italian food. I ordered pasta dish the rigatoni and broccolini that was excellent! Flavorful, with a perfect amount of red pepper zip. My friend enjoyed the Chicken Alfredo. The breading on the chicken was delicious! Simple but good. Frill free. ”
“ All I can say is WOWWWWW. I just ate the most satisfying meal at Picone, this is the best food I've had in a while. Literally everything was perfect, they get a 1000000/10 from me. The burrata was so good that I had to order another one to-go. Service was good and the cashier was quick to offer recommendations for our first time! This restaurant is an hour away from me and I'm coming back again this weekend, that's how amazing it was. ”
“ Made my way here as a fan of Boca and am so glad I found this place! Ordered a Burrata Burger that came with their version of fries. Everything was delicious! I know they change their menu regularly so I will be back to sample other dishes. ”
“ I've been seeing this place for some time now and have been wanting to try it out! Went in on a chilly rainy fall day and it was nice! Went early so it was quiet and they were quick. The plates were pricey but the portion accommodated for that. ”
“ Really cozy spot! We've been looking for smash burgers and really glad we found Picone. Two smash patties with cheese, grilled onions and house sauce. The side parm potatoes were perfectly crispy and delicious. We'll definitely be back! ”
“ Smash Burger was probably the best burger I ever had! Juicy, but held its shape the whole time, perfect amount of cheese/grilled onion/mustard aioli--it was just *chefs kiss* I originally came to get their hanger steak (SOOOOOOO GOOOOOOD) but forgot their menu rotates. Guess I have to come back Wednesday! This place is giving "The Bear" and they need all the props for never disappointing. Love y'all ”
“ I can't attest to the ambiance or the service because my husband went in and got it to go while I stayed in the car with our newborn, but the smash burger with the crispy potatoes and the Alfredo chicken parmesan were both really delicious! The prices are a bit on the higher side when you compare to the size and atmosphere of the inside (from what my husband said), but they are generous portions so you absolutely get what you pay for! Can't wait to come back and try it when we can eat inside. ”
“ Picone is a small and unique restaurant. They run a small staff who are all super friendly and helpful, food service is a little slower but they cook to order and wasn't an issue for us at all. I tried the chicken Parmesan and burger. The burger was simple and really good and came with some fried potatoes that were super crispy and tasty. The chicken Parmesan was crispy and made with chicken thigh and comes with some penne pasta. Overall it was a really good experience and we'll be back! Give it a try if you're in the area. ”
