Our Friday night reservation was for 50 minutes before we were finally seated – as they made us wait for the only 2 person table in the dining room to open up. The restaurant was extremely noisy. They didn’t seem to have worked out who covered our table, so ordering a cocktail was delayed, and delivery was also slow – not coming until our food arrived. The portions were very small. We’ve all seen our protein portions shrink over the last few years, but I took a chance and requested that they supplement the meager portion of pasta and butter (pasta!) that they had plated for my granddaughter so she wouldn’t go home hungry, which they were happy to do, though they also doubled the price on my bill, elevating the cost to an entre-level menu selection. On this cold winter night we had to eat fast with our coats on. The place was freezing cold.
I like this restaurant normally. The apps are great, they oyster bar is appealing, it has a friendly atmosphere, but the service on a busy night is so poor that it makes it a pretty miserable experience.

I had gone there some months ago, and can’t remember exactly what I had. I feel like it was poultry with something stuffed in it with sauce, vegetable and potato. Anyway, it was a special, and it was remarkably good. I’m sorry I didn’t review it while it was fresh in my mind.
So, I went back the other day for lunch, and got the fish n chips (fries), as well as an eggplant and goat cheese appetizer. I found the appetizer a little off balance; it had some good flavors, but came off a bit dry, as well as being somewhat too filling for an appetizer. I think it could have used less eggplant, along with some more greens, balsamic , and EVOO.
The fish was fresh, with the nicest, lightest beer batter I ever ate; almost like a tempura. Instead of tartar sauce, it came with a delicious aioli, which really was next level.
And this may seem an odd thing to mention, but the bread that the server brought was, far and away, the best bread I’ve ever had in a restaurant, and one of the best breads I’ve ever had anywhere. I could, actually, have just sat there dipping bread in the EVOO all afternoon.
Service was exceptionally attentive and knowledgeable. Prices are quite fair. Not cheap, not especially expensive.

My husband and I ensured a lovely Sunday evening dining at to Pizziko. Our waitress Jessica was is phenomenal. She was attentive, fun, and knowledgeable and recommeded a great pairing wine. conserved, a great wine. Our meal came quickly and was done to perfection. The food was delicious. My husband had the special–the filet funghi, on the sweet side, but he described it as delicious from soup to nuts. The vegetables were cooked to perfection. l had the Fungi Vitello. The veal was cooked perfectly, also. The garlic cream sauce was understated yet flavorful. The fingerling potatoes were perfectly roasted but needed a little extra seasoning. We also split the crabcake which was delicious, also.
Thiswas my second time and my husband’s first. We’ll be back!! Bravissimo.

Woah. I am still beside myself by how good this place was. Got the Margherita pizza as an app, delicious. Everyone was blown away by their entrees (we all tasted each others and the salmon and crab dish was my personal favorite). Best hot and dirty martini I’ve ever had. Also, our server Gianna was absolutely lovely and never missed a beat. Will be returning soon, probably between 4-6 for happy hour (half off apps).

Always a great place. We went for the happy hour and did a few different apps including oysters which were so fresh! The service is fantastic and the bar is very cozy. Treat yourself to a great evening here.

This was my first visit to Pizzico and I’m glad I finally stopped by. The ambiance is welcoming and unrushed. The service was excellent with multiple people keeping the water fresh and the breadbasket full in an uninvasive and friendly style. The food was delicious, mostly local, and visually appealing. While the service was fast, we never felt rushed. The only drawback is that parking can be difficult sometimes. This is a great destination for a special evening out.

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!

Sat at the bar with my sister and boyfriend last night. I forget the girls name behind the bar she mentioned she usually is a server…she did a great job, and we had an awesome time. I rarely leave reviews but they’re always positive if I choose to. Food was also awesome. We will be back.

Gretlat place to sample modern day Italian cuisine. Their selection of wine and addition of raw bar makes the experience even more versatile and enthralling. An absolute must visit!
