    Food was horrible only because it was nowhere near the dish explained on the menu. I boxed it up to bring it home to try to spruce it up. I was unsuccessful. I tried reaching Management for over a week by leaving messages. Was lied to with one lady who claimed to be the manager. When a supposed of real manager called back finally, He could care less about my issues and complaints. He agreed to make our entire meal again at our expense, but was going to graciously throw in a free dessert. No thanks. I will not return. Nor will I hold our office parties here again. I really wanted to like it, but based on their attitude I will not. Pictured is their Strawberry Spinach Salad dripping in oil dressing, 3 dime size piece's of Strawberries, Xl Manhattan Pizza. No better than Lil Ceasers. Stewed Beef something or other with just sauce and 1 meatball with cheese on 1 side only. Philly cheese steak sandwich dripping with grease requested extra cheese but not found to be extra cheese. Other issues with drinks as well. Simply a horrible experience and it was a hot mess of disappointment.

    Visited again.. their traditional pizza was awesome! The Greek salad is so tasty! As well as the gluten free pizza is so good.. nice and crispy! Which is unusual in gluten free crusts!! So good!! .I tried their gluten-free pizza for the first time. It was very delicious!! I would not have known it was a gluten free crust. It was thin and crispy. And of course the toppings were wonderful. Picasso's always has good food that you can count on.

    What a wonderful find! I had heard about Picasso's from a friend who recommended it. I must say I truly enjoyed it. Wonderful food, friendly staff and price was not bad for what you get. Highly recommend this place.

    Great service. Food was exceptional. The tomato sauce on the pizza was phenomenal. They have a lot of great toppings.

    This joint was recommended to us. We came here for lunch. We got the mozzarella sticks, gumbo, and 2 slice with drink lunch special. Food was fresh and hot! Lunch is counter service but dinner is full services. We recommend giving it a try.

    I can’t believe it’s taken me so long to visit - what a gem in Mandarin. The pizza is amazing and I’ve been impressed overall with the quality of food! The chicken parmesan was *chefs kiss*

    First time trying it. The food was nice, the atmosphere was loud and busy. Not too large of a restaurant so it gets noisy quickly. Wonderful service! They make their dishes from scratch. They taste much better than other more Americanized Italian places. Recommend this place! Their pizza selection is really cool! Lots of different and new options. And their make your own pasta is really good. As well as their sandwiches! We all got different dishes. Chicken parm with fries, penne with Alfredo and salmon, and the chicken and broccoli pizza Saint Louis version!

    Been dining here for over five years. I haven’t found a food item I didn’t like yet! Amazing across the board as far as the menu goes. Service can be questionable at times. We recently had a poor experience with a rude young lady at lunch, but the servers are usually awesome. Always packed, so make a reservation for dinner if you can (24 hr advanced notice required). Lunch is packed too! Great sandwiches, salads, entrees, and apps.

    Thus far, the best pizza "I" have eaten in the Jacksonville Area. The service and food were great. It's a small place. For lunch, I noticed most people do takeout. If you gonna dine-in, get there when they open. For dinner, expect to wait.

    Their website describes, "Food is Art." This restaurant is well described. It's the only St. Louis style pizza that I've found that is actually accurate to real specifications in terms of ingredients and preparation. Being here is also an experience, perhaps it's the vision or dimension of the art and where this vision has led into simply awesome pizza. I really enjoyed the staff. Most helpful and similar to the colors on the canvas think they too have vision of quality. And Picasso's is truly a work of art in itself.

    This was our 2nd time coming to Picasso's and we are in love with it. We got the Lasagna, house salad, Italian stew pot and garlic bread twists. All absolutely delicious! The bread twists are addicting, they are so good! The only slight negative is that there is always a line to get in. But that's what happens when you have good food!

    First visit at Picasso’s, italian food totally on point. It is the First time I eat a meatloaf sandwich and let me tell ya! Delicious! We also had the eggplant parm and looked super tasty! Lots of people and quite lively during lunch time, not loud or annoying which was great! I hear the pizza is great, maybe next time because I’m coming back for more…

    Interesting restaurant well hidden in a strip mall off San Jose across the street from Target and Publix. First Bill did a Google check and saw an outstanding Pastrami Sandwich on the site and was sold, he loves Pastrami. Arrived at the place with our party of 4 and sat ourselves. Menus were available but no table ordering service... strange. Went up to the counter and placed our orders. Bill got chicken parmesan very good 5 ⭐. Also ordered fries... very large order but covered in paprika or some reddish spice... not to our liking so 3 ⭐. I ordered 12" sausage and mushroom pizza OUTSTANDING so 5 ⭐ along with a Ceasers Salad very good 5 ⭐. Other guests ordered slices and salad's both very good 5 ⭐. Food was delivered quickly and hot so that's good ,5 ⭐. We needed table utensils... had to get them ourselves with the same with condiments like Grated Cheese, Oregano and Red pepper flakes so 3 ⭐. Now remember that Pastrami Sandwich? They no longer have it, boy was Bill disappointed 😞 0 ⭐. With these few little issues corrected this could easily be a 5 ⭐ eatery and will give it another chance soon.

    The best pizza in Jacksonville is here! They have a great menu besides their pizza but I’ve never been able to NOT order their Margherita pizza. The service is always great as well. I love consistency!

    I love steak, and it is usually my #1 choice for dinner when I dine out. So of course I ordered the steak when I had dinner at Picasso's (listed as "Butcher's Cut - daily special" on the menu). The special for the day was a strip steak - not even my favorite cut, but WOW, it was the absolute *best* steak I've ever had. Tender, with a perfect crispy sear, and seasoned just right. I did not try any sides - I prefer to fill up on steak and not all the extras. If I'm ever near Jacksonville again, I will definitely be back for another steak at Picasso's!

    I was so excited to find a restaurant inspired by my home town St Louis !! My wife ordered the fish which was a very generous portion and came with mashed potatoes and squash. We started with the St Louis Mayfair salad which was absolutely delicious and on the mark. I ordered the STL style butcher meat pizza. I have to say, the pizza was very good and probably the best I’ve had in Jacksonvile. My only critique is the “st louis style”.. I was expecting a thinner crust, provel cheese, and a little more sauce as a St. Louis style. I love the menu, the affordability of the food, and the atmosphere. I hope they expand soon so folks don’t have to wait outside in the heat to enjoy your great restaurant !!! Kudos !!

    The restaurant didn’t match our expectations. When driving into the parking lot, the setting isn’t inviting. Several store fronts are vacant. When looking out the front windows of the restaurant, you can see One Blood. When you walk in, you must take a menu and be expected to stand while trying to decide what to order. There is no table service but you’re still expected to tip. Our lunch bill came to just under $17.00 for a small salad and wedding soup. The food definitely tasted homemade with too much pepper in the soup. I wish we could say that we’ll be back. The area is somewhat seedy.

    Great food here! We had some great apps and entries for dinner and some of the best meatballs and Sy Louis Pizza as well as a great Stromboli. Only complaint I had was they didn’t want to seat us until exactly at 4:30 when they opened which to me makes no sense to me.

  • 5/5 C R. 1 year ago on Google
    This place was packed! We decided to just order take out. We ordered the Stuffed Italian Pizza and a Calzone. The pizza is definitely unique, the entire pie was stuffed! I don't know where they get their meat, but it was delicious, high quality ingredients! The husband enjoyed the calzone. Next time we may sit for a bite, but we know the earlier, the better! People were waiting outside, that's a very good sign!

    Food was delicious but ordered angel hair pasta and got something else, didn't send it back because we were on a time limit to see a show. Overall, great service and food.

  • 5/5 Anji A. 1 year ago on Google
    From the moment we sat down the whole experience was great, great service, great food, pricing was reasonable. We had the fried ravioli, and cheese bread for appetizers. I ordered the rock shrimp risotto with flounder, and husband ordered the lasagna. My risotto was a little crunchy, but our server (she was very attentive and knowledgeable! Receipt said her name was Kam) corrected it, even after I said it was ok. We also ordered a meatball pizza to take home. Will definitely be making this our go-to Italian place!

    Always a great experience at Picasso’s! The food is amazing and the service is always excellent. The pasta and pizza are solid choices but we also like to try the specials from time to time. The risotto bites are our favorite appetizer and the pan roasted chicken is my favorite entree. Save room for the butter cake! Noi is amazing and always remembers our drink order when we come in. She stops to say hello even if she isn’t our server. Wish it was closer but may be a good thing because we’d eat way too much if it was!
