"Picone, located in Denton, opened in 2023 and quickly became known for its innovative menu that combines Italian American classics with unexpected global influences. Led by chef and co-owner Tony Neglia, Picone is not just a restaurant but a reflection of Neglia's personality and culinary journey. The restaurant's notable dishes include a multi-layered lasagna called the Garfield, a unique chicken sandwich brined in pickled onion brine and a gooey birria pizza. Neglia's approach emphasizes collaboration among his team, encouraging them to bring their creativity to the menu. Picone's dining experience is enriched by Neglia's background, having grown up with a family deeply connected to Italian cuisine. This familial influence is reflected in both his cooking and his treatment of his team. Despite the social media buzz, Neglia maintains his focus on genuine customer connections and pushing culinary boundaries, earning him a loyal following of diners." - DeQuilla Henderson
