Picciotto

We went to Picciotto a couple of times already, and the quality of the food and service were superb! The pizza is a gem. Every pizza lover should make this place a destination. Located in a charming street in Douglaston, the first thing you’ll see in the window is the chef making the pizzas. This is not your typical fast-paced fast food pizzeria. Everything is done with precision, attention, care and love. You will wait for your food, but it absolutely worth it. Service is great and kind, and prices are fair. Highly recommended.

In Douglaston there is a hidden gem, you feel just like you are in Italy 🇮🇹. I am a foodie to put it lightly!!! Alessandro is a wonderful host, he does it all. Everything is made to order, delicious 😋!!! We started with the spinach salad, then we had Gamberetti all’aglio an amazing tapas shrimp with garlic and cherry tomatoes. We had an Ian Special panini a margarita pizza and topped it off with an affogoto and gelato. We have been here 4 times in 3 weeks. I was almost afraid to spread the word of how delicious everything is here. We will most definitely be back to try more!!!

Authentic Italian cuisine in a warm and inviting atmosphere. While you may wait a little longer for your meal, this is actually part of the charm—every dish is prepared fresh, and you can even watch Chef Alessandro in action. A truly worthwhile experience. Highly recommended!

If you’re looking for an authentic taste of Sicily in Queens, Picciotto Restaurant in Douglaston is an absolute gem. From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed with warmth and hospitality—especially by Alessandro, the owner, whose generosity and passion for Sicilian cuisine truly elevate the entire dining experience. The dishes are rich in traditional flavours and made with incredibly fresh ingredients that you can taste in every bite. You can tell each recipe is deeply rooted in tradition and has a story that Alessandro is more than happy to share it. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Queens—this is not just a meal, it’s a true cultural experience. Bravo, Picciotto!

Everything was deelish. Don't come here for a slice or a salad. He will get mad i heard. Lolol. This dude is straight up Sicilian and so is his food! you must try the coal fired pizzas. Any of them are great! Everything on the Tapas menu is def worth it. And just everything. First time there but ive ordered from grub hub which prompted me to go check it out. It was THAT good. And of course the service. 👏The place can use a little ‘juhjing” up aesthetically but its still a nice quiet little hidden gem off the LIRR IN Douglaston. Plus, big parking lot next door for 7.50. Think I might go there for my birthday. 🥳🎂
