When we opened the doors in December 2006, our simple wish was just to make Piccino as welcoming as our own homes. We so enjoyed making food for our family and friends and, yes we were the types where everyone said, “you should open up a restaurant.” Thanks to the relationships that Sher and Margherita had forged at the market (it was their church on Saturday and Sunday) some of our favorite farms like Mariquita and Star Route agreed to deliver to our tiny establishment, way back when. These longstanding relationships are still a part of us and we strive to show the essence of the food these farmers grow. As one of our kitchen team said, “we look for the most carrot-y of carrots” to bring to your plate!
