About Cafe Picasso

Let me introduce you to Cafe Picasso, a cozy Italian restaurant tucked right into the heart of Somerville at 81 Main St #1, Somerville, NJ 08876, United States, and honestly, it feels like one of those places you’re instantly glad you discovered. Cafe Picasso has that welcoming, neighborhood energy where conversations flow easily and the aroma of Italian comfort food pulls you in before you even sit down. The menu leans into classic Italian inspiration while keeping things approachable, so whether you’re craving hearty comfort food, lighter healthy options, or satisfying vegetarian dishes, there’s always something that fits your mood. I especially love how Cafe Picasso balances being casual yet thoughtfully curated, offering everything from rich coffee to a well-chosen selection of wine that pairs naturally with the food. It’s the kind of spot where you can drop in for a relaxed dine-in experience, grab takeaway on a busy day, or take advantage of delivery and no-contact delivery when convenience matters most. Outdoor seating adds another layer of charm, making warm afternoons and mild evenings feel a little more special, while kerbside pickup keeps things easy if you’re on the move. What really stands out to me is how versatile the experience is, because Cafe Picasso works just as well for a quiet coffee break as it does for a leisurely meal with friends or a more intimate gathering in their private dining room. The service options feel thoughtfully designed around real life, not just trends, and that makes the restaurant feel genuinely customer-focused. There’s an effortless comfort here, where good food, friendly service, and a relaxed Italian vibe come together in a way that feels natural rather than forced, making Cafe Picasso a place people return to again and again. Being right on Main Street also makes it easy to pop in while exploring downtown Somerville, adding to its everyday appeal and steady buzz.

Food was delicious, but not quite perfect. We had a large party and shared appetizers. Mysto Italiano (an Italian charcuterie), bruschetta, fried calamari and caprese. All delicious and plentiful. The entrees were still delicious and in the $20-$30 range with a few slight misses. The veal was a bit tough and the veggies were on the rare side; the green beans were very undercooked and I would have said that they were blanched, but not cooked. My seafood over pasta in a pink cream sauce was delicious. I subbed linguine for the capellini since I don't trust angel hair in a large group. Sauce was delicious, scallops were perfection; shrimps were over cooked. In eating, I could see how capellini would be the better choice for the sauce. Large groups are hard to cook for. I look forward to trying them again with a smaller group to see if that makes it perfect.

Cafe Picasso is a wonderful restaurant that really exceeded our expectations. The atmosphere is delightful, there are plenty of tables (it's much larger than it appears from outside) the restaurant is clean, and the staff was attentive and friendly. The food was great, the menu is a little large (be prepared to narrow it down), the prices are fair, and it's BYOB with a liquor store right next door. Overall, it was a memorable dining experience, and we will definitely return!

Came here for dinner and I wish I could give this restaurant 1000/10 stars! ⭐ From the hospitality, to the food, to the presentations of each dish, was truly beyond incredible. We left feeling very full and satisfied and they are very good with the portions sizes! And MAJOR shoutout to the owner, Lorenzo, who was very kind and friendly and made sure we were well taken care of! I’d highly recommend everyone coming for some delicious authentic Italian dishes, you won’t be disappointed! I will definitely be coming back!!
