Pizza and Pasta Night at Picobello

Picobello is one of the famous authentic Italian restaurants in Davao City. Several months ago, their only branch at Gaisano South Mall was closed. Fast forward to today, it now reopened at their new location in front if Monteritz Subdivision in Maa.

Just recently, I, my sisters and a friend visited their new location. This would be my first time to dine there by the way so any comparison and contrast that I will make here will be based on my sisters’ comments.

Once we arrived, it was full of people that we have to wait for a couple of minutes before they can accommodate us. Well this is typical for Picobello to be full. While we waited, we get to observe their place.

Their Menu

Before I proceed, I apologize in advance if I don’t have enough pictures of the place. The place is so crowded that its difficult to get a decent shot. Also, most of the photos that I took were dark as we dined at night.

The new place looked modern now as compared to their previous branch. They still have the open kitchen, however, instead of the wood-fired oven they used before, they now used commercial ovens. The restaurant has an indoor and outdoor dining area which is separated by sliding doors. During our visit, the sliding doors were opened, creating a huge outdoor dining experience similar to an al fresco setting.

According to my sisters, the food is still the same. Though they expressed their concern of the restaurant using commercial ovens for the fear that it may change the taste of the pizzas. They also noticed, that the restaurant no longer has the buy one, take one promo.

Calzone, Quattro Stagioni, and Free Bread!

Now for the food! We ordered their Calzone, Quattro Stagioni, and Rustica Quattro Formaggi. For pasta, we ordered Spaghetti Bolognese and Fetticcine Carbonara. I wanted to order their Risotto but I folded because I have to wait for another 45 minutes.

Their food is great! It’s one of the reasons why Picobello is famous here. If only they can bring back their buy one, take one promo, it will really be worth the money.

That will be all!

See you guys later!
