5 /5 Saqib Wastape: I finally managed to check out Picone after hearing all the buzz, and I can completely understand why people call it their favorite spot for Italian-American comfort food. The high praise for the menu is mostly spot-on, though the space is definitely on the smaller side. The service, however, is excellent—warm, quick, and attentive, making the dining experience fantastic.
The true star of the show has to be the Garfield Lasagna; it’s rich, huge, and truly deserving of the hype. Equally impressive were the crispy potatoes. Whether they’re served smashed or fried, they are outstanding and I wish the kitchen would bottle that seasoning or white drizzle. For classic Italian, the pasta dishes are generous, often coming with a hefty portion of chicken, making it a reliable choice.
The highly-lauded Smashburger was solid, but maybe not quite the "WOW" experience others described. It’s certainly a great burger, but given how incredible the lasagna and the specials are (which are always worth checking out), I’d lean towards their pasta or following their social media for the rotating non-menu dishes. This place is absolutely worth a detour if you’re craving top-tier comfort food.
