An Unforgettable Italian Experience in the Heart of Jerusalem! 🍝🎹✨
If you are looking for an exceptional culinary and cultural experience, look no further than Picolino, a hidden gem located right next to the Hebrew Music Museum in Jerusalem. 🇮🇱✨
From the moment we arrived, we were absolutely charmed. The food here is truly on another level—magnificent, authentic Italian cuisine prepared to the highest standard and bursting with incredible flavors. Every dish was a absolute delight! 🍕🍷
Beyond the exquisite menu, the atmosphere is what makes this place standard out. It is situated in a beautifully quiet and scenic area, offering a wonderful escape. The highlight of our visit was the magical courtyard behind the restaurant. This vibrant space connects several restaurant courtyards together, creating a unique communal vibe.
Right there in the center, they have a live music stage! We were treated to phenomenal live performances by talented musicians playing the piano and various beautiful instruments. Hearing them perform stunning, soulful renditions of famous, well-known songs under the Jerusalem sky made the night completely unforgettable. 🎶🎹🎵
It is simply an amazing, breathtaking experience and an absolute must-visit. Perfect for a wonderful evening out or a premium outtake experience! 🌟👌
Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The atmosphere outside is phenomenal! The food was okay, but the lasagna was served lukewarm, and the desserts didn’t look very appealing. There were also too many waiters, which meant that every two minutes someone would come by and ask if we had everything we needed and whether everything was okay. It felt a bit excessive.

The atmosphere was nice — either indoor seating in an old, arched, classically Jerusalem building, or an outdoor courtyard with music. The food was decent, and the service was friendly. And then, somehow, they had to spoil it with a public messianic message expressing a wish for the rebuilding of the Third Temple, with the announcement emphasizing “in peace.” I understand that this may be a deeply meaningful religious aspiration for some people. But in the context of contemporary Israel, publicly calling for the rebuilding of the Third Temple is also a deeply political message, with extremist associations and implications regardless of how gently it is presented. That is a very substantial political message to send to a restaurant's entire clientele. Some customers may welcome it; others may find it alienating or even threatening. I hope the restaurant will reconsider using its public platform to convey political or messianic messages and simply allow its guests to enjoy the atmosphere, food, and hospitality without being asked to participate in a political statement.

This is my favorite classy dairy restaurant in Jerusalem. The ambiance is like none other. Although this is an upscale dining experience the food comes out in a very timely manner. The service was outstanding. The place is very crowded however you still have your own space. The live outdoor music is very unique and most enjoyable as the songs being played are all oldies but goodies. The food is exceptional and presentation is lovely. I give this a very enthusiastic two thumbs up.

I was here with a group of friends for volunteering and for dinner we visited this place. Great service, people are so humble and welcoming. The food is really tasty as Italian food in Jerusalem, you would wonder but it was a classic one. We ordered red and white wine and delicious food raviolis, a bunch of salads, vegetables, cheese pizza and desserts. It's located in an excellent location and has very beautiful interiors. I will definitely recommend this place.
