We had a wonderful dining experience.\nFrom the atmosphere, garlic bread, nice salad that came with the meal and our very generous sized portions.\nThe chicken marsala had a great sauce and the pasta Bolognese was delicious!\nWe like that it is a BYOB.\nIf you can't find parking on the street they have public parking behind the restaurant.\nLive music certain nights.\nI would recommend and return!

Cafe Picasso is a wonderful restaurant that really exceeded our expectations. The atmosphere is delightful, there are plenty of tables (it's much larger than it appears from outside) the restaurant is clean, and the staff was attentive and friendly. The food was great, the menu is a little large (be prepared to narrow it down), the prices are fair, and it's BYOB with a liquor store right next door. Overall, it was a memorable dining experience, and we will definitely...
