Today was a very special day for our family. Our son Pedro has been working at Pizzico Ristorante since he was 16, and today was his last day as part of the team. We went there for dinner to be served by him one last time and to celebrate this meaningful moment.
We want to sincerely thank Frank, his wife, and all the coworkers who welcomed Pedro with kindness, respect, and professionalism. He learned so much over the years and will carry those lessons with him for life.
The atmosphere, food, and service have always been exceptional. Pizzico is more than just a restaurant — it’s a place that truly values people. Thank you for everything!
With gratitude, The Soares Family

Pizzico Ristorante Bar is a true hidden gem in Nashua for anyone who appreciates authentic Italian cuisine in an elegant yet comfortable setting. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere sets the tone—warm lighting, tasteful décor, and soft background music that makes it perfect for date nights or small celebrations.
The service is exceptional. Our server was attentive, knowledgeable about the menu and wine pairings, and genuinely made us feel welcome. The menu features a mix of classic Italian dishes and creative specials, and everything we ordered exceeded expectations.
I started with the arancini, which were crispy on the outside and perfectly creamy inside, served with a flavorful marinara. For the main course, I had the veal saltimbocca—tender veal layered with prosciutto and fresh sage in a delicate wine sauce. It was incredibly well-balanced and expertly cooked. My dining partner had the lobster ravioli, which came in a rich, creamy tomato vodka sauce—absolutely delicious.
Their wine list is impressive, with a thoughtful selection of Italian and international options, and their cocktails are also well-crafted. We finished our meal with the house-made tiramisu, which was light, creamy, and a perfect end to a fantastic meal.
Pizzico offers an elevated yet unpretentious dining experience. Highly recommended for lovers of fine Italian food.

I ordered a veal parmigiana with gnocchi and it was completely flavorless, the seasoning was bland, the bread roll was hard... I didn't like it, it was the first time I bought it and I don't think I'll buy food there again. The service is ok.

Oh my goodness, we had a great restaurant. This is a go to for us for years. It's a hidden gem off of spit Brook road, next to 7-Eleven is the entrance, and another entrance is off of Danny woods Webster highway behind longhorns in McDonald's. We love it! It is a great spot to stop in when you are out shopping. By all means be sure to stop in! It is such a Great restaurant. The martini bar is our favorite space (I'm there for the food, not the alcohol although the menu looks absolutely positively amazing); the high tops are very comfortable and the atmosphere is great. The bread, and oil is delicious as well as my all-time favorite, the vegetable lasagna which made with all vegetables. The thick layers are eggplant and trust me when I say it is delicious!!!!! The staff is always great, some of them have been there years.

We had some dinner here the waitress was for the most part useless. Had to ask for napkins, never got bread she never asked if we needed anything after dropping off the food was brought.. I gave her an 11% tip should have been 6%. Food> small cheese pizza… 8-10.. good pie; chicken Parm. 7-10 good taste, gravy (sauce for you non-Italians) was very good, pasta, slightly overcooked, chicken was fried well…., GF’s meal was chicken broccoli ziti.. 3-10, no taste… needed to salt it and dump copious amount of parmesan cheese on it, and the chicken.. this was weird.. the chicken was all cut into small cubes almost identical which makes me think it came out of a bag or can. not recommended.

It was good Italian food. Did not try the pizza. Their Italian food was good. The drinks were amazing! The bread and oil upon arriving was well seasoned and homemade. The Italian foods we tried were okay (the pizzico sampler, the spaghetti).

Absolutely disappointed. Ordered take out. They forgot half the order, had to go back only to find they forgot the appetizer as well. Salads were wilted and slimy. Customer service was horrible!!! They talked badly about me and my complaint while having me on hold and I could hear everything. Very upsetting especially when it seemed that nobody cared. Update- a manager called me back asking me to remove this review because nobody is perfect and that is of course true but to not make it right and to defend the horrible customer experience and bad service is unacceptable.

I don't have a single bad thing to say about Pizzico. The drinks are good, the food is good. We sat outside because it was a nice day, and the service was great.
There were no bar seats, and it wasn't that late - so I suspect that if you want to sit at the bar, you'll have to be an early bird!

Can’t pick up two pizzas and select anything that says no tip = no business. You’re required to select “custom tip” and write 0.00. How nasty of the owner to do this. Pay your staff.

Went to the Pizzico in Merrimack years ago and it was delicious so we had good expectations about our visit to the Nashua location last night for my daughter's 27th birthday. We were sat promptly and our waitress was pleasant and efficient. The food however was incredibly mediocre. For the price we expected so much more. We had three appetizers to share between the 7 of us. Calamari (overcooked), Fried Ravioli (overcooked) and Spinach Artichoke Dip which was not overcooked and was fine but not the best we have ever had. My son and I ordered the Seafood Rustico and it was bland with overcooked scallops. One of my daughters ordered the Meat Lasagna which was also overcooked and bland. My boyfriend ordered the Steak Toscana which he said was good, but for the price he would much rather have eaten at the Longhorn. The other three pasta dishes ordered were also so-so. No one wanted to take home the leftovers. Honestly, the best thing we ate was the bread and dipping oil they gave us with our drinks. For context four of us had waters. Two people had two beers and one person had one beer and none of us ordered dessert and for seven people the bill was $339.00 (including 20% tip). The quality of the food this was incredibly disappointing. For the price we expected so much more.

We have ordered from here in the past, and we're always happy. Tonight.... The food was terrible... When you spend $29.00 for a pizza... And the box has absorbed the grease from a fig pizza... It's terrible... The 2nd pizza, tomato, Basil... And a puddle in the middle of the pizza.... Box again absorbed and was greasy... I WILL not be going back. We my husband called, to let them know, they wanted to know if we wanted another pizza? No! Do something about your cook. We have been going there for pickup and to dine.. NOT again...
Oysters were very good.
