Ristorante Picolinos Reviews
Everything is great about this restaurant. They are remarkably great in the neighborhood and the staff are top-notch. And the food is amazing. Eat here!
Excellent experience! The food was superb, the service impeccable. An added bonus was the tribute to Burt Bacharach, with many songs played by a violinist. We will definitely return.
It's my neighborhood go-to. You could say we're "regulars." And you wouldn't be wrong. We usually sit at the bar and chat with the bartender or the folks sitting next to us. The food is very good to great (but I'll admit these days I usually have the Chicken Milanese and arugula salad). The ambiance is very upscale Italian. The cocktails are excellent.

Ristorante Picolinos is a charming Italian restaurant in Ballard that offers a warm and inviting atmosphere. The restaurant is suitable for romantic occasions, family gatherings, and special celebrations. The atomistic cozy with candlelit tables and feels very European. The menu features delicious dishes, including vegetarian options like Tagliatelle in a cream sauce with asparagus, leeks, and peas. Other popular choices include Rigatoni Bolognese and Carbonara, which is a must-try according to one reviewer. One reviewer mentioned the pizza was something else and the caprese salad was very good. The restaurant also offers hors d'oeuvres, including a shrimp appetizer that is highly recommended. Desserts like cannoli and tiramisu are also available, with the latter being described as cozy, homemade, and authentic. The Creme brûlée was also mentioned as very good. The staff is friendly and accommodating, and the owner and team go above and beyond to ensure a successful event. The service was excellent and the food even better. They have some good looking options for vegetarians and were quick to accommodate other dishes. The cocktails were superb. They also have a coffee shop with delicious pastries and good coffee.
