A progenitor of the increasingly hot Dogpatch restaurant scene, Piccino embodies this neighborhood’s many flavors, drawing families with kids in tow, young tech types, gregarious retirees and more. Its memorable yellow exterior houses a relaxed, artsy-urban interior with lots of wood and natural light—a perfect venue for unwinding with friends. Everyone comes here for deliciously blistered pizzas like the funghi, with roasted mushroom duxelles, sautéed wild mushrooms, stracchino and slivers of garlic. Though pizza is a focus, Piccino excels in appetizers like tender, skillfully prepared polpette in tomato sauce, and must-order desserts such as a delectable hazelnut-cocoa nib cake. Their adjacent coffee bar is an area favorite.
