The day before Thanksgiving a group of police officers from the Bayview Station was having lunch at Piccino, enjoying some down time and cheer. A customer at a nearby table — eyeing the group —  told Sher they would like to pay for the officers' lunch!

We were speechless and delighted to comply with such a generous request. When the officers asked for their bill and were told that it had already been taken care of, the table was in disbelief and erupted with sheer joy at this expression of thanks and appreciation.

The officers left very moved and happy, but what that single guest doesn't know is how his act of kindness affected all of us here at Piccino . . . smiles and full hearts all around. People like that are the reason we're here.

Thank you!

It’s hard to explain how someone you've barely met can have such a profound and significant influence on the path you take. Judy Rodgers, co-owner and chef at Zuni did just that for Sher, me and many of us here at Piccino. Sadly, Judy passed away last week at age 57.

She was an inspiration to Sher and I because in her quiet, steadfast, and visionary way she created a landmark restaurant that has thrived for nearly 30 years! That is an accomplishment we have the deepest respect for, and her approach is something we strive to honor everyday. It is with great sorrow that we raise a glass and mourn the loss of an exceptional woman and chef.

Sinceramente,
Margherita
