Picco Restaurant - Larkspur

Everybody in marin seems to hype up this place. And I really don't understand it. I mean if waiting an hour 30 to get mediocre at best food is your thing, go right ahead! But to the 7.99 billion people out there who don't like that, you should probably go somewhere else. The pizza is extremely bland and colorless. All of the pizzas are ridiculously imbalanced. All of them only have one, boring, flavor. Some are purely salty and have too much of everything, others just taste like nothing. If the british made pizza, this is how it would taste. The ridiculous prices also don't help. Overall, the pizzas are a 25 dollar pile of garbage. The food from the restaurant half is actually solid and I'd recommend most things there. That's what brings it up to 3 stars instead of 1. If you want decent pizza in marin, i'd highly reccomend pizzalina in san anselmo. And if you want pasta, locanda just down the street has better pasta than picco, although their pasta is still decent. While the food is a mixed bag, the service is full dumpster fire. Of the many times i've been here, i've only met one server that was remotely friendly. The rest either feel absent or actively hostile. If you come here, not only are you in for a long wait to get a seat, you also have to burn away what feels like years of time waiting for your food. Overall, the servers are mostly cold and/or unfriendly and the wait times are obscene. Just go to pizzalina. Parking: There's a lot of free parking but all of it is always full.

Vegetarian options: Many vegetarian pizzas, risotto, etc. Kid-friendliness: Great place for dinner with kids. If you eat outside, there’s lots of people watching opportunities. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $50–100

Great food. Can get very busy at times so be prepared to be seated and to get your food. Otherwise, very good drinks, appetizers and pizza. We didn’t get the soft serve from what I could see, it seems to be very popular. A bunch of people walking by would stop to just order soft serve to go. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Excellent food! We had the Tuna Tartare, Caesar Salad and the Cannondale Pizza with Calabrian chilis and finished with a swirl soft serve with chocolate shell and olive oil n salt. Can't wait to go back! Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $30–50 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
