Service and atmosphere were great. Originally came to try pasta, but the aroma of pizza quickly changed our minds. We had two appetizers: the toasted ravioli and the lobster fritters. The toasted ravioli was delicious, but the consistency of the meat may be offsetting to some. The lobster fritters were terrible. They were mostly bread and hardly any lobster. Also very salty. Not worth it. We split the medium pizza. We got it Mediterranean style with shrimp, roasted red pepper, mushroom, and basil. It was one of the best pizzas we've ever had. I can't speak for the whole menu, but the pizza alone is worth the trip.
This place is great all around . Friendly service great food and a casual atmosphere . A must try if you haven't yet . Something for everyone here ! 😀
Simply amazing food, it's a must try and you'll be addicted. Make sure you checkout the daily special board. Friendly staff and comfortable atmosphere, however a bit noisy at the dinner rush.
I have been several times and it is always a winner. Service is a little slow but the food is well worth the wait. I am eager to try the Ramen, but my standard fav is the gumbo. Made with an authentic dark roux, as this is a flavor profile that cannot be imitated meatballs are great as well.
Tried the Ramen - expected more broth but it was amazing!
Hidden gem in Mandarin. Menu options for all tastes from southern to Italian. Great place to meet the girls for dinner over a glass of wine or bring the family.
Really like the place, ordered 3 pies at the restaurant and waited 22 minutes which was very good considering they were packed and we walked up to order. Although we didn't order any of the sautéed dishes, the smells of garlic and watching the chefs were doing it right. The pizzas were very good but a little shy on sauce. We had a meat lovers, a pepperoni and cheese and the Da Brooklyn. All good, my only complaint would be the Da Brooklyn. My expectation would have been for full slices of sausage rather than chopped bits, the same for peppers and onions. They make a good pie and the effort certainly is there. Considering we live off 210, I would rather travel there then eat at anything Italian over here. Try it, it's good.....
Nice little rustic restaurant located in mandarin. Very polite people. Just a tad bit pricy but for the atmosphere and the good food it's worth it. Come early because it gets packed really quick. Especially at lunch time.
We arrived 30 minutes before the restaurant opened. Slowly the people began to arrive. Before we knew it there were several families waiting. Very promising.
We were not disappointed. The atmosphere is very unique. The restaurant pays homage to the artist. No one waits on you - grab the menu, order, and pay up front. We were a little slow in figuring it out.
I got the cheesy shrimp grits. Different take on the southern dish, but still very delish! Even my husband who hates shrimp and grits was impressed.
Definitely coming back! I'm going to try the ramen bowl. Heard great things from others, but they only serve it during dinner.

Great food. Polite waitstaff. Quick Service. Clean facilities. Great hole in the wall kind of place. Family friendly. High back booths so my LO won't bother the neighbors.
We've eaten here a number of times over the past year and every meal was excellent. Great customer service, fresh ingredients, and modern menu with a classic twist. Bread knots are out of this world. When we host out of town guests they always ask for an evening at Picasso's.
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!
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.
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 !!
Everything was delicious. I kove the fresh homemade noodles! Clean and friendly staff. The kids meals were an excellent price and portion!
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.
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.

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.
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!
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!
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.
