    Blonde draft very good
    Eddie H.

    This is my favorite steak in Jacksonville. The ravioli was just okay. Their St. Louis Salad is my favorite! We ordered a side of Cauliflower and not as good as last time. The bottle of wine we bought was very good. Service was okay. It got better as we were there but our waiter was like he didn't want to be there. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is small and they pack them in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We ordered a large NY style pizza to go. The last time I came here it wowed us. This time a few wows and a few okay.

    4/29/26. Always a good bet for good food-lunch or dinner. Price for lunch special-1slice pizza, salad and drink is now $10.50... everyone else has gone up so!!?!

    Big Easy Gumbo

    Me and my 2 kids. 18" pizza, halo cheese, half with sausage and something else. Side is grilled cauliflower ( this is sooo Yami~) strongly recommended! Also strongly recommended is Lasagna with Italy sauce and rich creamy, ( red words on menu that one ), so delicious! Good experience and very enjoy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Only one thing, too many flies .... Please use some fly catch light or something to clean them[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I will give 5 stars for food, but 4stars for environment have flies.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Hope there's not fly in kitchen

    Spicy Pasta Arrabbiata.

    Again Picasso's doesn't disappoint. Recently a local review group claimed that Picasso's has the best shrimp and grits in town. I was skeptical only because it is an Italian place. Boy was I wrong. The grits were perfectly cooked, the shrimp were delicious and the sauce was just perfect. We also ordered the Spicy Pasta Arrabiata with Italian sausage and it was fabulous. The homemade pasta was delicious. The service was great as usual and we love the vibe. We drive all the way from the beach just to eat at Picasso's. So good.

    Inside is nothing special. Service was slow . Appetizer was not hot and took them quite a while to come back. 2bd time was better. They did mess up our pizza order. But we got more a bigger one for less. Do can't complain there. Pizza had potential but lacked any flavor. Got the jerk chicken pizza. Absolutely no flavor, spice or heat. Had pineapples in it, again they had no flavor. All the desserts were cakes , not any variety. They comped some stuff for the issues we had. It was fine. But for what we paid I don't go back.

    We recently visited for a birthday and the food was delicious. However I ordered the pan roasted chicken and was slightly disappointed. While it was tasty and flavorful the portion size for the money ($25 à la carte) was surprising. It was basically the breast meat with the drumette portion of the wing along with some gravy. I did order the sautéed broccolini as a side. I say this mostly as an fyi and not a complaint since the quality and flavor is not lacking. In future I will probably stick with the pizza (brother-in-law was kind enough to share) because that and the garlic rolls were my favorites of the evening.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Always a pleasant time at Picasso.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Melissa was our server. We did not give her a chance to tell us the specials of the day. I went witht he soup of the day which was Garlic. It was not too garlicy which was fine. I had a riesling and so did wifey. Melissa came back and we were ready to order. I wanted the ravioli bolagnese and wife haf the salmon croquettes. The bolanese did not come with grated cheese or crushed pepper. Frankly, I did not aks and was not offered. Desserts were Slimana picking for me. Wifey had yhe carrot cake not pictured. However, the mmm and ahhhh from wifey's mouth told the whole story. Delightful! I had to chase Melissa down for the check and a take out box for the cake. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Picasso is a small but quaint restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Whether a holiday dinner or a romantic dinner date, Picassos is the olace and they have pizza![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Garlic-Parmesan Bread Twists
    Irving G.

    Tried out Picasso's Jacksonville and it did not disappoint. I started with the New Orleans BBQ shrimp, which came with bread. Both were on point. The shrimp was cooked perfectly and the sauce was packed with flavor. Definitely a strong start. For the main, I had spaghetti and meatballs with buttered bread. The pasta was solid, but I've got to highlight the bread. I'm not usually big on bread, but this right here? Fresh, soft, buttery, and baked just right. Overall, a great experience. Good food, good flavors, and worth checking out. I'd definitely recommend giving them a visit.

    Fettuccine Salted Alfredo with Oiled fried chicken!

    Disappointing Experience - Not Coming Back I went to Picasso Restaurant with a friend, and it was a big letdown. My friend had been there a few years ago, and I had been there about four years ago--we expected much better. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Right away, the place felt unorganized. No reception, just a line and no clear menu--you have to search for it near the cashier.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There's no real service either: you order, pay, and they bring your food to the table and just drop it off. After that, you're on your own--go find your utensils. Drinks come in styrofoam cups. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The table we picked was wobbly and uncomfortable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food didn't help either. My fettuccine was extremely salty. I asked for a remake, and it came out in about two minutes--which says a lot. The second one had no flavor, and the chicken was oily and poorly prepared. When I gave feedback, I was offered cake--which completely missed the point. Service felt rushed and careless the entire time. To make it worse, my friend left a generous tip expecting a good experience... which we definitely did not get. We won't be coming back, and we wouldn't recommend it. Save your time and go somewhere else.

    Butchers Special slice
    Dustin G.

    In the area visiting some family and took the crew to Picasso's. Some in our party had sandwiches, another had the pizza slice and a salad special, while myself and 2 others shared a large NY style Butcher's Special that we added mushrooms to. I can't speak to the sandwiches, but the party member that had the Ceasar salad said it was yummy. I can say that the pizza was really good. A good crispy crust with a great cheese and sauce / toppings ratio. Fairly easy parking as it's a strip mall type location. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Bathrooms were clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Order at counter, self service drinks, and they bring the food to your table. I'd go back if I was in the area and wanted a good pizza or had a group to feed.

    The Roasted chicken

    This is my first time here for dinner and im blown away!! We all know about the Scratch pasta an pizza. The seafood special today was a B liner wrapped in a potato...and a parsnips sauce. Omg just So delishes...Its really fine dinning. The service is always friendly ...[[HIGHLIGHT]]the ambiance is intimate and chill.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food is amazing. Definitely a hidden gem!!

    Inside Menu
    Keshia K.

    5 Start Italian-American Eatery, however service can be improved. The location of this place is "ducked-off" and DISCREET. When you pull up, you may think it's a Dive. The inside is the usual CASUAL dining setting. You'll notice a mix of the restaurants inventory mixed into the dining experience (I'm not sure if it's on purpose); however, the causal atmosphere should not be confused with the menu price nor food quality. This place is PRICEY. The wine selection is plentiful. I go house everytime. The food menu is limited, but I feel like you can't go wrong. My go to menu options are Italian Stew pot (for the meatballs), Fried Mozz & Side Salad with Salmon. I have had their pastas and pizzas too. All items (I am impressed) are cooked finely to chef's Perfections. They do not miss on FRESH QUALITY INGREDIENTS. The service is hit/miss. I have gotten a hospitable waiter a time or two. But more times than not you will get a pretentious, pompous attitude from the staff (until you prove your worth). One time we were turned away due to us having a party of 10. The manager's comment was "we'd rather tend to our usuals then host a large party bc they couldn't make room" I think staff training on unconscious bias will go along way. I mean I was a regular before the comment.

    Gumbo and BBq shrimp.
    Ed S.

    Menu has a bit of everything so always weary about a menu with so many different kinds of food but the items we had were very good. I did the gumbo and the bbq shrimp and both tasted great. The shrimp were very NOLA authentic and the gumbo roux had the perfect dark chocolate color but was a little heavy on the flour but still very good. The ravioli also good but a pretty small portion for a pasta main course. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Service was great and the the place was upscale strip mall.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] All in all a good dinner.

    Ask the Community - Picasso's

    Is your online menu up to date with your prices, I see comments on Yelp that says it's not, February 2022?

    Is everything spicy? Got the chicken parm over linguine with red sauce & couldn't eat the pasta because it was too spicy. Nothing in the description indicated it was spicy or I wouldn't have ordered it. Makes me hesitant to go back.

    Always ask your server level of spicy.

    Are there any vegan items on menu? I looked but everything is laden with cheese and meat. Website says they are all local and custom so are there items that can be made vegan?

    The salads can definitely be made vegan. The Italian dressing is vegan. The pasta with marinara or the pasta with Arribatta sauce would also be vegan.

    We went yesterday and a sign on the door said they were closed due to technical difficulties Does anyone know if or when they are reopening?

    Never

    Where's the ramen?? It's the whole reason I love this place! Please bring it back. ???

    They have changed their menu up a bit. No more ramen or wings (which were the best in town).

    Probably the BEST BIRTHDAY so far that I could wish or ask for. Thank you god for everything that…read moreyou have given me in life. Having said that what an awesome way to end my birthday with this amazing dinner that I had at this place. One of the best Italian restaurants in Jacksonville I must say. As soon as me and my wife walked in to the restaurant we were greeted and sat right away. The ambiance of this restaurant is truly amazing and very Italian vibe. We were greeted by our server MORGAN who was fantastic from beginning to the end. She suggested some incredible stuff that as a vegetarian I tried and was just amazing. For drinks we had mojito and pinacolada which was nice and refreshing. For appetiser we were recommended with Pomodoro Caprese which was amazing especially their Pesto sauce. For my entree she suggested me Luingini Josephine which was unique and nice pasta. Morgan surprised me with a dessert which was very kind of her. Overall this family owned small business is an amazing must try Italian restaurant. I can't wait to back and try more stuff. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    Back to back reviews everyone we are here again with the same group. Got my good buddy Bezos,…read moreogre, bs wife, and tragic.. Initially, we were going to Coopers Hawk, but forgot we had to make a reservation a year prior. We were told a 2 hour wait! That is wild given how big the place is. But again it is a Saturday night, and people were smarter than us and made reservations, and thus we left. After giving the news to ogre she full on had a rage attack in the parking lot screaming for those classic Coopers Hawk egg rolls. While we were consoling her I heard a soothing sound coming from behind the restaurant and we landed in front of Enzo's. We were greeted by the kindest owner ever who thankfully along with the help of her staff got us in with no wait, given how packed it was.. We were greeted by a very nice waiter who seemed all over the place though. I think he was definitely new, and was forgetful at times.. Anyways! We got three apps which were all fried stuff. Fried ravioli, Fried mozzarella sticks, Fried calamari. Honestly looking back kind of gross.. but they were solid tasting! Nothing out of the park at all on the apps just your standard.. a little tasteless on the calamari, but then again I had like 3-4 pieces because the ogre consumed them.. but then I got clarification from my good buddy bezos that it was kind of tasteless. The most tastiest was the fried mozzarella! Which shouldn't happen. Onto the entrees! Actually wait side reference note I initially ordered mussels with linguini. It was the worst dish of seafood and pasta I have ever had. I literally NEVER send stuff back, like literally never.. it feels inconsiderate and I feel like a bother even if it is just a little edible I would eat it with no complaints but I literally could not. It was so fishy I am now writing this nauseous. Some of the mussels were also closed, cold or broken.. it was just very very poor and I'm mad I had three mussels. The first one was crazy fishy, but I gave it another shot and then another, because I believe in second and third chances. But no, I was grossed out. Not to mention consuming all the fried prior. I also ordered a soup that was forgotten, and didn't get my cocktail sauce, but not really an issue if the dish was made to torture people with. Eventually I did get my soup and it wasn't bad! But now onto the entrees! Bezos: Chicken francese Tragic: veal parm Ogre: Chicken parm Doctor B Wife: Chicken Caprese Me: after the swap I got Veal Parm (thanks tragic) Oh and we had some garlic bread, but it needed some sauce or added flavor with it idk.. Reviews! Ogre: The chicken was good Wife: Mid Bezos: *yawn* ummmm Tragic: Italian stallion Me: the veal was solid, but that dish was so bad before that I lost all my appetite and I am just bleh.. and our waiter seemed a little lost.. again nice guy but come on. All in all we are grateful we were taken in by Enzo's and that owner seemed like she was a hardworking person that definitely can inspire her staff. I loved the piano playing, and the environment was really pleasant. Although me personally I disagree with the food, that dish was the worst ever, and our waiter again although nice was extremely forgetful. I feel sick to my stomach and I probably am going to vomit. But thank you again you gave us a good night and a place to eat..

That was till last weekend went we made a reservation a week out and locked in. We came in for dinner and were quickly seated. We started off with checking out the drink menu and I had to try the Asian Whiskey Smash which sounded very refreshing. Once ordered I have never seen a drink come out faster which made me think it might have been premade but it was still good. Of course course also had to get an appetizer and when with a classic for us that being the Crab Rangoon's which are made with actual Lump-Crab and not Krab....I was also a big fan of the sauce it came with since I'm not a huge fan of the radioactive Sweet & Sour Sauce that many come with. I ordered another drink and this time went with Sake. I got the Sakari Demon Slayer which came in a "Juice Box" which was fun. Not the best Sake for sure but fun and cheap. For my entree I went with the Red Curry Shrimp & Grits. Being such a Curry and Shrimp & Grits fan it's just the best of both worlds. Ashley got the General's Chicken and we also ordered the Chow Fun with Beef for a noodle dish to share. The Red Curry Shrimp & Grits was very good and for sure a must try. It was rich and loaded with shrimp, veggies, and those tasty grit cakes. I have only had a Curried Shrimp & Grits once before and this one was for sure better and that one was good too. Now as if I couldn't speak more on thr Red Curry Shrimp & Grits that wasn't even the best dish of the night. That has to go to the Chow Fun with Beef! This was the best Chow Fun I have ever had by far. This is a must get every time you visit Blue Bamboo. The beef was so tender and the Chow Fun was cooked perfectly and so flavorful. We will for sure be coming to Blue Bamboo again!

    Trying to be fair here..... we lived in the far east and NYC Montreal San Fran China towns…read more Ambience? Very nice. A five Star. Service? Same. We had curry noodles off the regular menu a four star. However when it came to the dim sum? Does not compare to other Jacksonville dim sum restaurants.....Not many choices. Ribs were terrible we ordered four different dim sums. The sauces with them were blah as were the dim sums A lot more work needed here
