Fantastic happy hour! So many excellent selections, great portion sizes, tasty food. We had shrimp scampi, meatballs, brussel sprouts with red wine. Well attended place, everyone had a smile. Both indoor and outdoor dining. I'll be back!
Pubblico needs an education on the concept of "fresh" produce--the Caprese salad is to be avoided by anyone who has spent any amount of time in Italy. Under no circumstances are mediocre tomatoes to be masked by heavy splashes of syrupy-sweet balsamic reduction. The "basil" is sad shaved splinters of something formerly frozen that I'm certain is not basil as there were no traces of fragrant fresh basil on the nose or tongue. The same affliction negatively impacted the spaghetti & meatballs--I ordered it specifically for the basil, expecting nice fragrant leaves of basil and instead getting mystery shreds with no taste or flavor. The meatballs al forno appetizer was pleasant and innovative with polenta integrated, despite an over-reliance on strong provolone I found unnecessary.

The food and cocktails are always great! This time no exception. The Exception is the Server: TAYLOR He is the most professional Server who provides the best greetings at your table, provides excellent suggestions and advice with the most perfect mannerisms possible. He was “ On Point” all night and your treated like Royality! We strongly recommend him as your Server when you dine here. I must say all the staff are exceptional however, TAYLOR stands out by far the very Best! Jack & Ted

We like this neighborhood spot and go there several times a month. Last night service was slower than usual due to a large party our server was helping. We ordered the Brussel sprouts, which we also enjoy. For the first time, they were overcooked and over sauced.

This is our second time eating at the Publicco. The restaurant never disappoints! Our first time Angel served us. This time we had a lady serve us. They were both fantastic!!! The food and ambience were exceptional for great value. We highly recommend the Publicco! We sat outside this time.

What they have on their menu was good, however the menu doesn't offer that many “ENTREE” choices. I guess if are just going for pizza, you will be satisfied with the choices. We had the sea bass and it was very good. The restaurant is a bit expensive for what they are providing.

Our waiter was excellent and it seemed the others were just as efficient. I had the spaghetti and meatballs (3). Had to bring one home. They were very good. The penne puttanesca was delicious if I judge by the completely cleaned plates of my two companions. Two of us had side salads, $6, and they were an excellent value: Caesar and a house salad, both with fresh ingredients and very healthy portions. The wine was a bit pricey in my opinion, but decent choices. I definitely recommend the place. The happy hour is especially excellent, and Wednesday is half price bottles of wine.

We've been here a few times. The food is always good and very friendly service. Definitely worth a try if you haven't been here
When we walked in we had a kind of unpleasant odor, almost made me want to turn around and leave. I had a glass of wine, which was okay. Then ordered a lemon vodka drink, which was good. The food was just okay, nothing great. I don't know that I'd come back.

This was our first time to dine at this restaurant. We have eaten at Rockefeller's many times and very much enjoyed that and when we found out Danny Quinn also owned this place we knew we would be in for a treat. And he did not disappoint. The food was excellent. All five of us enjoyed our entrées. It is very very loud and it's very hard to have an intimate conversation, which would be our only complaint. We will absolutely be back, again and again. Two thumbs up... Way UP!!
Our family of 7 had a great meal at Pubblico. Nice ambiance, very pleasant staff, and the food is top knotch. The homemade pasta was incredible, and the side salads were all fresh, with creative and colorful ingredients. The staff was so nice and helpful with our 2 yo, and that is always appreciated. I highly recommend Pubblico.

Incredible experience!! Angel was fantastic and had us laughing! Food was wonderful as well, could not stop dipping bread in the muscle sauce. I also got clam linguini and wine, delicious! And my first ever Espresso Martini. 10/10 recommend!

The service was amazing. Our server was attentive and the ambience was very upbeat and friendly. The food was lackluster. It was very salty. The scallops were overcooked, pasta was overcooked and mushy, and the chicken Parmesan was soggy and not seasoned. Overall, just an ok place.

What an amazing experience! I had perhaps the best clam linguini I have ever had and the Italian Chardonney was scrumptious. Absolutely everything was wonderful including the service and pricing.

My husband and I celebrated our wedding anniversary here tonight and it was our first time dining here. Wes was our server and he was absolutely incredible. He was very attentive and had great customer service. We started with the cheese board and it was so yummy.I had the chicken parm for my entree and my husband chose the lobster linguine, both of our meals were SO good. Full of flavor and very tasty. The manager was also walking around checking in on guests which was very nice. The bartenders are also great. Both of our cocktails were wonderful. We finished off with the crème brûlée which was a tasty choice. We will definitely return. Thanks again Wes for the great service!
