My birthday celebration was spent enjoying food and drinks with friends, and it was an awesome time. Food was great, maybe a bit pricey but good. Service was good, the atmosphere is relaxing and I liked the decor. They have a huge chalkboard with lots of specials which was cool and convenient. The only thing I will say is that it is a bit hard to find as the outdoor sign is impossible to see. We came here during a snowfall and it made it that much harder to find the place, but even so, we only knew we were in the right spot through process of elimination really. But I would definitely visit again and for sure recommend if you are a fan or oyster bars!

Got pan seared scallops on Sat. They had a distinct taste of ammonia. Would not recommend.

The food here has drastically declined. Everything we had was meh. The salmon & mashed potatoes had very little flavor, watery and bland. The shrimp & bruschetta flatbread was also bland. Very unfortunate for the pricing. Service is great atmosphere is nice.

Great place! 4 of us had different seafood dishes. All excellent! Good portions. Fresh.
Just tried to have a drink at 8:05pm on a Sunday. Bar was full. We asked the first staff member we saw if we could grab a seat and drink; they said yes. We sat down for about five minutes and then another staff member came over and said “Actually we’re closed.” With a bar full of people. We got up and left and looked at the hours online and it says you close at 9pm. We were excited to try a drink at a new place in our new neighborhood. Will never be back. Thanks for nothing.

Beautiful elegant place for dinners, lunches, and brunches, even for a special date or even for a single date by yourself, the pizza had his own personal dog are the best and the salmon

7/11/24 I took a friend who has never been before and she loved it as much as I did. Thank you to Lexi for being an excellent server! The menu for restaurant week was perfect. Caprese salad, chicken saltimbocca, eggplant parm, the chocolate mousse cake, and their amazing sage martini. It made for a fantastic evening. Thank you!
If I had to pick a few favorite restaurants on the east side of Providence, I’d say Pizzico would be one of my top 3. I’ve been coming here for almost 15 years and it’s always a superb experience.
The staff is always top notch which is the building block of a great restaurant. Crystal was excellent.
Tonight was one of their best dishes- chicken parmesan. What separates it from other places- their homemade red sauce as well as a fresh cut of chicken. The perfect drink to wash it down was their pear martini… another item they do better than many other restaurants. They’re always a generous size!
Food was very good, as always. But the service wasn't up to its usual excellence. The biggest disappointment were the craft cocktails. The Shanky's Old Fashion was undrinkable because it was so sweet. Even after sending it back to ask for more club soda. The Sage Martini was missing it's sage but the flavors were still good. Perhaps they were overwhelmed because of restaurant week.

My husband and I went for the first time on Saturday and sat at the bar. We ordered apps and cocktails and of course oysters. Best oysters in RI by far believe it or not. Drinks were ok but food fabulous! Would have given 5 stars if not for the bartender. She focused solely on my husband the entire time even gave him a free drink. It was very obvious and blatant disrespect to me. My husband even commented on feeling uncomfortable. As a former bartender the general rule is to pay more attention to the wife than the husband out of respect but also because most often the wife is writing the tip. We will for sure be going back but will sit at a table and maybe only order sparkling water.

Pizzico has a really nice interior and atmosphere. The staff was fantastic, but the food was the shining star. We had the calamari, stuffed clams, daily oysters, and shrimp cocktail. Everything was absolutely amazing. We enjoyed everything to the last bite. I will definitely be back for their dinner specials.

Food and staff were great! Definitely recommend the mini stuffies! My only complain is the bathroom was tiny and gross. Apparently there was another bathroom on the other side of the restaurant that was in better shape. Other than that everything was wonderful!
