Picanos Italian Grille - Troy (MI)

2 /5 Vito Culcasi: Weve been going to Picanos for over 35 years but yesterdays experience was unacceptable. We had a reservation for 6 people celebrating Christmas. First of all they sat us in a room that was having 3 large groups even though the restaurant was very empty at the time. We ordered 2 appetizers, fried calamari and fried mozzarella sticks. The calamari had an old oil taste, the mozzarella sticks had a similar taste. With the entrees, the chicken siciliano was rubbery, the pasta dish, short regatti with mushrooms and mini meatballs had a burnt tomato sauce taste and very oily. One in our group ordered cacio & pepe pasta that was basically buttered noodles, no pepper or cacio cheese. Other than the service and the bread, this was a terrible experience. Unfortunately, after frequenting this restaurant for all these years, this will be the last time I will be going there. There are much better Italian restaurants in the area to visit

5 /5 Maria Vulaj McCandless: We had the absolute Best experience EVER! We had a Party for my daughters college graduation 35 of us! From the moment we walked in we were greeted with such gracious hospitality from Annetta she is the banquet Mgr -what a SUPERSTAR as well as her wait staff! Excellent service! What a valuable asset she is! Warm friendly and an amazing Host! Everything went perfectly! The food was outstanding 100 stars The Service was also 100 stars!!! We are so very glad we made the decision to book our party there and hope this helps anyone who would like to book a family event-you will be treated like family! We will be visiting again And again! Thank you very much Annette & Staff for making my family celebration so spectacular!!

3 /5 ShadowFyr SixtyTwo: I was anticipating some amazing things based upon reviews and the history. Unfortunately, I was somewhat underwhelmed. Granted I ordered of the lunch menu but ordering a $24 meal one would expect more than just meat, thinking it came with a side dish of more than 4 green beans and 2 pieces of broccoli. Leaving hungry was unexpected. I little forwarding by the waitress would have been helpful.

5 /5 Josh Denzler: This is our new go-to Italian place. The food was excellent and the prices very fair for the quality and amount of food. We got arancini, some pasta, salads, and dessert which were all fantastic. The desserts are pretty much all made in house and you can tell - both the tiramisu and limoncello cake were top notch. They also have great bread with flavorful oil to dip in. We will be back!

5 /5 Angela Penrose: I love this restaurant, and our family enjoys coming on special occasion, and the food is always fantastic, and the service is always just wonderful. We had my father in laws funeral luncheon here this past weekend and everything was incredible. The service, the room, the food, our main waitress was sweet as can be, and the guys helping her were great. I cannot say enough about how wonderful everything was. My sisters and I went to school with some of the Picano kids (Chrissy) and we have always loved and supported this restaurant and we will continue to.
