"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

This is the best Italian food I've had in the United States! So full of flavor! It's delicious!!! The chicken Parmesan Marsala is better than the Parmesan Alfredo. But either way, it was still really good!

So delicious. The burger is top notch. The chicken parm Alfredo is one of the best we've had. And big enough for 2 meals. Small quaint location. Counter service style. Canned drinks.

If you want some top-notch, authentic Italian food, then you want to come here! The restaurant is very unassuming from the outside, so we were surprised how next level the food is. The service was great, the girls working the front were so sweet and welcoming. The food is some of the best Italian I've ever had!! I am wondering if they rotate items because I was hoping to try the pizza, but they didn't have any... definitely next time though 🤤

Tried Picone in Denton and it absolutely lived up to the hype! We had the Chicken Parm Alfredo and the Hot Honey Fried Chicken Sandwich—both were fantastic. The sandwich was hands down one of the best I’ve ever had: crispy, flavorful, and just the right amount of kick. The Chicken Parm Alfredo came in a massive portion—easily enough for two people, and incredibly satisfying. The restaurant is set in a location that adds to its cozy, local vibe. It’s no surprise they won Best Italian Restaurant in Denton (2023). The staff were super friendly. Will definitely be back to try more!

The portions are very large (you can get two meals out of it) and seasoned well. The pasta can be a bit salty but it's otherwise a hit for Denton. The seating is a bit tight, but cozy feeling and it appears the decor is still developing. A great place for casual Italian and American fare that won't break the bank but tastes better than average.

I’m a Picone first timer, and this was one of the best burgers I’ve ever had. The flavor was phenomenal, and it was cooked perfectly. The crispy potatoes with the spicy sauce is so good! I’ll definitely be back to try out the rest of the menu. Highly recommend!

This review is waaay overdue. We have been here several times. We've had the Tony Peps, some chicken parms with marinara, pesto and alfredo, the awesome smash burger and today, we tried the amazing Picfish sandwich. This thing was magic on a bun. The cod was perfectly cooked and the batter was light and crispy. And the tartar sauce? Just as magical. To those complaining about the atmosphere, you're forgetting that we all have to start somewhere. It may not be the biggest or the fanciest place, but it's a chill little spot and in my experience, those are some of the best places. The food is awesome and these guys are making a name for themselves. Keep slinging those magical culinary creations Piconeheads. You rock!

This is a tough review to write - I have been following picone since opening and thought their food looked delicious - made a reservation for their Valentines Day Pre Fixe Menu. The concept on each dish was well thought out, but the execution unfortunately took away a lot from the meal. Hamachi Crudo - wonderful concept with a beautiful fish, but not enough vinaigrette, granita, or pepper Tartine - the focaccia was cold and was tough to eat Beef Cheek Papardelle - the one piece of beef cheek you see in the photo was all that was there. Really disappointing here as it tasted delicious Scallop Risotto - the Risotto was chewy and overcooked - the scallops had a nice sear but were cooked unevenly Chocolate Trifle - another wonderful concept, but not enough flavor - wish there was a stronger punch of chai mousse. I don’t doubt that their day to day menu is phenomenal, but maybe there were some lessons learned from the pre-fixe menu.
