Pizzico Ristorante

This restaurant if by far one of the best in Providence. I have never once been disappointed at the level of service or the quality of their food. Their staff are consistently professional and last year I had them assist me in organizing an event for a friend. The evening went of splendidly without a single flaw. Highly recommended. Pros: Food, Service more

We've been eating at Pizzico for the last couple years and have never been disspointed. Nationally recognized for its wine list, but has local charm with its friendly service and local artists feature on the wall. They have specials almost every day. No wonder they were awarded ""Best in Rhode Island"" more

I had been many times in the past, it was always a reliable favorite. This past mother's day however, despite having made reservations, we had to wait an hour and a half for the food. During the wait, our waitress only visited our table once to offer drinks. She never brought out bread or offered anything else in the meantime. When we did ask for bread, she seemed bothered by this request. Bread arrived quite cold, no butter or the usual olive oil they used to offer. We also noticed that another party who arrived after we did, was served before we were. Once we received our meal, (with high expectations as the food had always been superb) we were disappointed to find that everything was cold, my pancake was completely tasteless, lifeless.. no garnishment or add-ons (although the menu listed cream). To make thing worse, when I requested the check, the waitress quickly grabbed it and slapped it down on the table right in front of the 'special guest', in this case, my mother, who was being honored on Mother's Day. Needless to say, my opinion of this place has changed dramatically. I only hope it was a one time, bad luck occassion, but we were so turned off, we may never go back. I'm wondering if the restaurant changed management in the past 3 years. more
