Picco, a simple take on the traditional neighborhood pizza and ice cream parlor, offers a refreshing alternative to the South End’s more upscale dining options. The no-frills menu offers enticing pizzas (roasted garlic and mushroom is a standout), sandwiches, and salads at—extra! extra! read all about it!—reasonable prices. Pizzas are chewy and fired in a $30,000 specially designed oven, as is the better-than-homemade grilled cheese. The house-made ice creams are creamy and flavorful—most of the time (the sorbets tend to be icy). Still, at these prices, Picco is worth the gamble.
