Picasso's Restaurant really is where food is an art

    I have now been to Picassos enough times to truly say it is my favorite restaurant.  You know it's a good place to eat when the only complaint you can think of is its to cold in there.  Picasso's is somewhere between an Italian place, a pizzeria, a bakery , and traditional Florida restaurant.  They have amazing pizza's.  If you have never had pizza sauce "St. Louis style" you have to try it.  It's a thin crust with cheese blended into the marinara that leaves a creamy savory deliciousness i've never had on a pizza.  they also feature 30 different special pizzas including a "meatball Madness", a BBQ chicken, and a chicken cordon bleu.  I have had 4 of them so far and all have been as good as I've had anywhere else.
    The true beauty of Picasso's is there specials.  From fresh trigger fish and salmon, to steaks, to homemade ramen Duck con fit, yo never know what's coming up next.  Several times I have walked out of the gym or work and checked my facebook and the Picasso's specials pop up and I immediately go there for dinner.  Last night I had an herb marinated grilled salmon with creamy polenta and grilled veggies.  All perfectly seasoned, perfectly cooked and delicious.  Even included an edible flower on top (see Pic below)
   Another favorite of many of my coworkers are there salads.  There spinach salad is simple yet flavorful with strawberries, bacon, apples, goat cheese and homemade croutons.  The Greek salad is also a favorite of mine.  And they have 2 of my favorite appetizers around.  Fried Mac and Cheese and St. Louis Toasted Ravioli.  Don't start a meal with out one of these.
    Finally, the desserts.  While those that know me know I'm not a big dessert person, I make an exception for Picasso's.  They tell me someones grandma makes the desserts every day.  The gooey butter cake is ridiculously good and the bread pudding of the day is always worth a shot (sometimes with chocolate, sometimes with strawberries, always changing).
    Give Picasso's a try and you won;t regret.  It is family friendly, has free WiFi (always a plus to me), and has a cheap kids menu.  The food and variety will ensure you come back.  Make sure you like theri facebook and/or follow on twitter to get the daily special updates!
