Picco

Picco makes a strong case for saving room for ice cream after pizza. The South End restaurant serves sourdough pies with a charred crust, from cheese and pepperoni to seasonal combinations. Homemade pasta gives you another direction if the table has already ordered enough pizza. Dessert gets the same attention: ice cream is made in small batches, and the brownie sundae puts it to work over something chocolatey. You can sit down for lunch or dinner, stop for dessert, or order food to take home. The restaurant recommends reservations because walk-in seating can be limited, so book ahead if your evening depends on getting a table.
