Picasso's - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Amazing!!! The service was just awesome, we were greeted immediately, we were given recommendations on food and beverage as first time eaters! And the food was fantastic ❤️

10/10 an amazing place . I've been having a hard time today. The cashier was so friendly and just genuinely awesome . I honestly am thankful for her kindness today . I'll he a repeat customer everytime I'm down in erie . Thank you guys so much for being awesome

Following the opinions we read, we decided to meet him and boy did he meet expectations. They have both classic combinations (a simple but well-prepared 3-cheese sandwich like The Thinker for example), and unusual ones (the Mona Lisa that has artichoke hearts is highly recommended). In the group that we went, we ordered both types and neither disappointed. The taste of all the sandwiches we tried was very good to excellent. There are 3 vegetarian options (I especially recommend the Venus de Milo, excellent!) and 3 options especially for children. Consumption is between 11 and 15 dollars per person. The friendliness of the staff is remarkable, very helpful and clearly striving to give you the best possible experience. It is inside a shopping plaza and parking is abundant and at no additional cost.

Fantastic sandwiches, fantastic service, fantastic prices. Please come open a shop in PGH!!

My favorite restaurant in Erie.

Food was incredible! Guy that took our order had so much energy and was so nice to us as first time customers. Small place to dine in but has some amazing artwork on the wall that is for sale. I would definitely recommend and will be coming back the next time I visit Erie!

My girlfriend and I stopped in for a quick lunch and was absolutely impressed. I was looking over the menu and was offered a tour of it in seconds. Very friendly staff. The Van Gogh is one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. The decorations are beautiful. Food was out in minutes. I highly recommend Picasso's to anyone looking for somewhere to eat in the area.

Dropped in after a quick search for places to eat(I was passing through from Buffalo to Cleveland). Walked in and was given some recommendations from the host as I was unfamiliar with the sandwiches. Ended up ordering the Mona Lisa and tater tots with a fountain drink. I opted for the Mona Lisa because I felt like some of the others could be a bit too heavy. No joke, this is one of the best sandwiches I've had in quite a long while. Despite the unusual combination of ingredients (artichoke hearts, baby spinach, creamy pesto, etc), this thing was an explosion of flavor. The artichoke hearts really cut through the richness of the havarti and creamy pesto. The bread was perfectly toasted, buttery with a satisfying crust without being dry. The tater tots were also a big surprise. They were more like mini potato croquettes. Golden brown, crispy exterior, but soft and pillowy on the inside, with just enough texture to remind you it's a tot and not mashed potato. I can't remember the Time I've enjoyed tater tots so much. The fountain drink was fine. Syd's is the local brewer and I tasted the root beer and cream soda. Both were good and had a richness of flavor usually lacking from generic store brands. I'm no pop connoisseur so I don't have anything to add other than I enjoyed drinking what I did, I don't otherwise drink a lot of sodas. The only regret is that I was merely passing through and as someone who lives more than 2000 miles away, I regret that I won't have any real opportunities to visit in the future.

The food was slop. The "bread bowel" is not a bowel. Extremely messy sandwich, and I had to go to the counter twice to ask for napkins which they guard like they were 20 dollar bills. I won't be back.

amazing sandwiches!! worth the drive from wherever you are .

Highly recommend Picasso’s for scrumptious sandwiches! We found this gem at the beginning of our vacation and it was so good that we planned to stop on our way back home. I had the Mona Lisa and it was everything I like on one sandwich! Service is great - we were greeted and explained the menu on our first visit. You’re given a beeper and can find a seat while they prepare your order. Bonus is that they have GF bread if you are allergic to gluten. Local soda brand. Outdoor patio available. Fun chalkboard painter’s palette tables with chalk inside.

Staff was very welcoming and patient with our allergy concerns and the sandwiches were fantastic. Highly recommend!

If I could give this place a 0 I would there staff is terrible and rude, they mess up on my sandwiches many times! Not recommended

This place was awesome! The sandwich was very good and original. I loved that the sandwiches had names of artists or art work. They also have local artists selling their paintings,

we had dante sandwich here which was the BEST SANDWICH EVER IN THE HISTORY I am going to recommend everyone have this place in their last wish, bucket list, every weekend list … When in doubt, hop in to this place and there is this person who will explain you every detail of every sandwich so you can choose better … and experience heaven in every bite. Its not like mcD or subway or burgerking or wendys … all these are bluffs and no where near to picasso… You will know the real definition of sandwich only at picasso.

Great experience! Art and food &art AS food.

Very friendly staff. They greeted us and walked through the whole menu. Great business.

First time in. Had 1/2 of a Mona Lisa sandwich which was really filling and had great flavor combos. Love the chalkboard tables. Will be back for more!

Such a fun ,place ,nice ,friendly staff

Best sandwich place in town. Owner guided us through the amazing menu we loved all of our choices.

The food was amazing and you also get to create your own art on the table as you wait. Reasonably priced as well. I just wish it weren't in the mall parking lot

Great experience again ,Always good love the variety

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ You absolutely must visit this gem of a sandwich shop! As a fan of locally owned spots, I decided to try out their Scream sandwich for lunch today, and oh boy, was it a treat! The perfect balance of flavors with just the right amount of heat to make your tastebuds dance without leaving your mouth in flames. It's safe to say it's one of the best sandwiches I've ever had! Don't miss out on this culinary delight! This is a place that Diners, Drive Ins and Dives needs to visit!! Guy would love this place!!

Sandwiches are very good, service is super friendly and place is easy going and decorated in a fun way. Not the lowest prices in town (sandwidches are good size but not huge) but the quality justifies it.

the staff was really helpful and gave a nice quick summary of all the sandwiches- i got The Dante and it was everything id hoped for and more. it was like a nice amount of spiciness but without sacrificing the savory sweet taste.

We really enjoyed our meal here. Every sandwich was unique and we split several whole ones so people could try more than one. My son and I agreed The Scream was the one we liked the best. Definitely worth a stop to enjoy their food. Looks like they have an outdoor patio for summer too that would be nice. The local sodas in the fountain drink dispenser were yummy too.

Great service. Above and beyond. Very friendly and informative. Food was good. small but comfortable and clean dining area.

these guys are obstinate about what they do. Artistic sandwiches. and their love of it comes thru. such a great little spot

I absolutely love their sandwiches.

I had the Dante sandwich and it was very delicious. The atmosphere was unique and welcoming. I enjoyed how the employees were kind and helpful towards menu. One thing that stood out to me was the fountain drinks, I believe they use a local company for the syrups? It was nothing like I ever had before. Was worth the visit, highly recommend the cream soda.

My family and I go here all the time and it’s always a pleasant experience! The staff is amazing and we even had someone stop at the table to make sure everything was tasting fine. It definitely is an interesting menu and i’m a picky eater but they have something for everyone!!

That slapped! Best sandwiches I've ever had. We had the Starry Night (Reuben) and a sandwich called the Botticelli - don't even get me started on the tots and the sauce it comes with. Do yourself a favor and go to Picassos.

Always good experiences the whole 5 years I've lived out here. Davinci and Van Gogh are where it's at. The fountain drink cream soda is slammin as well.

I've been going here for years and the sandwiches have been amazing this whole time. never had a bad experience! It's a family staple every time they visit Erie.

The food was amazing the wait time was only 5 minuets

Very Creative, Yet Outstanding Sandwiches. Definitely Recommend Picasso's.

Sandwiches are excellent. Great descriptions on IPad menu. I did not approve of housekeeping.

I’m a local teacher, and I never been to this restaurant before. However, after a long day at school, I decided to pop in with my daughter to get a sandwich and try some of their items. We ordered and had our food by 6:45 PM. We were eating in the dining room, and just as we finished and cleaned up, a male employee came out and told us that we needed to clean up and leave because the dining room closes at 7 PM. No one told that to us when we ordered, so we were unaware. However, it was only 7:10 PM and we had just finished eating. When I asked why, he said because he has to clean up the dining room . As I shared with him, we would leave, but we would never be back. His response was that he’s just an employee trying to do his job and he needs to clean the tables. Employee or not, I found that to be very disrespectful. When we went to check the hours for the restaurant, it stated they were open until 8 PM. I looked on the website and could not find anything about the dining room being closed at 7 PM, nor did the woman who took our order explain that to us. Now, there could’ve been some unknown rule about the dining room closing at 7 PM, but I didn’t see it and I surely didn’t know that. I would’ve definitely gone somewhere else. I don’t like to spend money on food and not be able to sit calmly and enjoy it. I have never in all of my life had such an interesting situation occur. Additionally, there was another family who had ordered and had just sat down after 7 PM. When they were called (via the little buzzer) to come up and get their order, the male employee told them that they would have to leave as well. He had their food in a bag and handed it to the woman and her children. I was mortified that an event like this was even occurring. I hope that they have a thriving business because situations like this will not have them get repeat customers and the word-of-mouth will be poor at best. I can guarantee them that I will not be going back. There are many places to get sandwiches, and the sandwiches that they make can clearly be made at home. Even though the names for the sandwiches are unique, and the combinations may be unique, anyone can buy those ingredients and make them at home. For me, it was more about convenience and supporting a local business. Although the food was delicious, the service and treatment were not up to par and will never be tolerated. Clearly, my money, and my business was not important to their staff. I could’ve just left and forgotten about Picasso’s, but I feel that it’s important for all potential customers to know about this experience and how it made us feel. With the state of restaurants today trying to keep their heads above water, a business can’t just have an interesting or unique product. They need to have the service that goes along with it. I hope that they hear this feedback and share it with their employees, and maybe try to improve on a clearly defined deficit at that restaurant.

Wonderful sandwiches, great service, love love love it.

The sandwiches are definitely a 5. But without soup and sides beyond tater tots or Mac n' Cheese, it's not a meal. I'd love to go back but it's just not a restaurant. I was in a similar type of restaurant a couple months ago. They had all types of sides and sauces... I hope Picasso's can get there... I'd go back. With beer it would be a 6 on a scale of 1-5.

This place is delicious! Highly recommend. Probably the best sandwich I’ve ever had in my life.

I was lucky enough that Picasso's was the first restaraunt I went to when I moved to Erie. These guys know their sandwiches, they are always so creative with their ingredients, and I'm never disappointed. Love this place, love the owners, do yourself a favor and stop by for a bite.

Outstanding food and very friendly service. The Starry Night may be the best version of a Reuben I've ever eaten.

This place is AMAZING!!! I was just turned on to this place within the past week. And let me tell you if you haven't been, it's a local must. I've already been back several times. And these guys don't disappoint. Great presentation, Awsome service! Might I add the absolute best Ruben I've ever had. And if you like spicy, the Donte is the way to go. Thank you guys, for making a sandwich shop into a local culinary icon.

Been here a few times now and each time is better than the last. Absurdly delicious, great service and wonderful artistic atmosphere.

I got the Ryan gosling, it was amazing!! The lemonade also good. Service also great. Highly recommend

These sandwiches are a work of art.

Not your average sandwich place. Far better. Located as a free standing shop in the Millcreek Mall parking lot near Dick’s Sporting Goods. I got the Mona Lisa and my husband got the Botticelli. We forgot to order the side of crispy tater tots but those sounded really good. What makes these sandwiches special for me: - grilled to perfection kind of like a panini - the pesto mayonnaise on my sandwich was a treat - so many great menu items to choose from - gluten free bread is available

First thing first OUTSTANDING customer service, second food was freshly made and quick , last the girl in there mad cute I couldn't even look at her 10/10 place .

We saw this place as we were traveling on Yelp and Facebook. We took a chance and it was such a great find. Delicious sandwiches, marvelous Mac and cheese, and tasty tots! Wish we had one in our home town!

Great service, great food! Fun experience! Check them out!

Amazing menu. So fun. The sandwiches are so good. Such a fun atmosphere. Very casual and fun.

Very good - quick and easy stop while passing through Erie on I-90. Got the Mona Lisa and, while a little messy, was incredibly tasty and I'll happily return in the future. Beautiful art on the walls, too, most available for sale.

We stumbled upon this place while traveling and OH MY GOODNESS!! It was a magnificent experience from start to finish. We will be back and are excited to try more of these delicious sandwiches!!

Staff went above and beyond to male sure my food allergies were well taken care of. Gluten free options here as well. Amazing customer service and atmosphere! I appreciate the extra care taken! Thank you so much! Very happy customer. 😁

The food is delicious here. My go to is the Michael Angelo, but you really can't go wrong

From out of state. I was recommended this place. Wish something like this was much closer to where I live. ( 30 miles west of Atlanta)

Picasso’s was a really nice stop on a long road trip. Immediately as we entered, we were greeted and asked if we’d been there before. Then we were shown photos and descriptions of each sandwich on an iPad. The man asked if we had any dietary restrictions, and they’re very accommodating (vegetarian friendly). The sandwiches were warm and very delicious. The interior is really nicely decorated with local art that is available for purchase, and it’s painting-themed.

Just go here. There’s nothing I can stay that trumps the experience of biting into one of their sandwiches. Included is a picture of the Mona Lisa already bitten into. I couldn’t hold off eating it to take a picture for this review. I’m slowly trying every sandwich they have and would advise everyone do the same! 10/10 5 Stars across the board.

So delicious, top tier gluten free options & quality & wonderful service with a dog friendly patio!

Probably the best place in Erie, well, best interesting sandwich shop for sure. I’ve tried many things and would recommend so many that it wouldn’t actually help. Just look at the menu and order what interests you, you will NOT be disappointed.

I won't say they are the best sandwiches I've ever had, but they are darn good and definitely different. I forget what they call it, but grilled Peanut Butter and Jelly with Bacon is pretty awesome! THEY DON'T LIKE CREDIT CARDS, they charge a convenience fee.

Counter guy talked me out of the sandwich I wanted into what turned out to be a macaroni and cheese sandwich on sliced bread, nine tator tots and an off brand soda with no taste for $20. Asked me what I thought of the meal when finished and when I shrugged, he proceeded to talk loudly in front of everyone about the price of food at Wendy's...weird. Weird place, weird people, expensive weird bland food. Not going again.

Incredible service and local art!

Family has been going here for at least 15 years because of how good the sandwiches are this is a go to spot in Erie with tons of interesting and tasty options on their menu with great service. Also their cream soda is amazing! Best sandwich is the Mona Lisa, and please if the owners see this they will know who we are the people that say we are always waiting for our t shirts lol.

Mmmmmm very tasty. The gentleman that greeted us enthusiastically explained their gourmet sandwich options. Delicious and clean.

I wish I could give this place 6 stars because it deserves it for sure! Best sandwiches in the world and in my opinion is the best restaurant in Erie!

The food was phenomenal! I wish we had this in Cleveland. This was a stop on a whim on a rod trip and we couldn’t be more satisfied with the choice!

Great food, very nice people. Unlike the guy complaining about an employee vaping, I give fair reviews. This is an outstanding restaurant, with knowledgeable and friendly staff. I don’t gripe about things that are out of the owners control (rouge employees)

Love this place Mona Lisa best sandwich hands downs.

No printed menu at all. Could at least have a small one on the wall for those who are visually-impaired and can’t read the one behind the counter. We were there around 7pm, 1 hour before closing. The chairs were already on the tables, so having nowhere to sit was not welcoming.

I tried reaching out by email, but recently we had a bad experience. They closed 30 minutes early due to being "short staffed", while there were 3-4 people just standing around inside. we love the food but this just wasn't it.

We eat here frequently. Today was the first time I would give negative feedback. One of the workers was in the kitchen (while The team was preparing my food) vaping and blowing smoke while videoing himself all while being near the food station. . This is absolutely against health safety in the kitchen and this individual should be terminated. Typically I’d give them 5 stars but they’ll be lucky to get my business again.

Food is amazing service was great definitely going back !!!

Absolutely a local Must Stop! Delicious variety of sammiches, tots are the best I've ever had and always crispy, and the Dreamy sauce is Totally Dreamy (I even bought a jar for the house, it's Everything*) My favorites are the Mona Lisa and The Gosling and the Tots and the Mac N Cheese and The RootBeer... so basically everything lol. The owner, Ray, is typically there and what a Fantastic and Sweet Guy... local art for sale on the walls and really cool indoor and outdoor spaces with plenty of parking available and wheelchair friendly. Definitely recommend!

I really wanted to like this place so I tried it twice. The first time I got the Van Gogh sandwich with the Mac n cheese on it. It was just ok. Second time (it's almost a year later) I got the hella Johnson. The sandwich was so soggy the bread literally disintegrated in a pool of grease. There was 1 piece of ham and a couple chunks of what tasted like canned chicken. The sandwich was supposed to have a cranberry Mayo, but I didn't see that anywhere, but it did seem to be drenched in some kind of white sauce. Honestly it was disgusting and for how much they charge for it it was extremely disappointing. I would have given it back, but it was take out order and we had already left town again. Won't be returning

I definitely recommend trying this place at least once. They have a bunch of sandwich combinations that even my excessively picky wife wants to try. Sandwiches were very good, tots cooked perfectly with Cajun sauce that tastes absolutely wonderful. They have tables painted with chalkboard paint & provide chalk to make your own art. They have paintings for sale on the wall which I thought matched the restaurant theme. So again, food is awesome & atmosphere is nice. You must try this at least once. You’ll be glad you did.

This was an amazing unique place. Sandwiches were delicious. Must visit.

Amazing sandwiches. One of my favorite sandwich places of all time.

My husband and I are from out of state. We wanted to try this place out because it seemed interesting. When my husband tried to order what he wanted he was told "Don't get that. You don't want that. It's not one of our best sandwiches. You should get this instead." My husband tried to explain he didn't care if it wasn't their "best" or more popular option. He was completely rude and pushy in his mannerisms. The food seems nice here. However, the lack of professionalism and customer service skills was evident. When you go get food from somewhere you should be able to order whatever you want. I'm not going to give you my money for you to tell me I can't order what I want to order. We took our business elsewhere and won't return.

Food is very good and lots of interesting sandwich options.

Love this place been going for years..have sandwiches unlike anywhere else and they taste that great to. Also you can draw on the table with chalk while you wait for your fresh to order food. I recommend the monalisa it's my go to. but haven't had one I didn't like.

Forget Melt, this place is better. Friendly staff, clean, quick, delicious. Wish I took a picture of the Mona Lisa sandwich but we ate it instead. Had the mac and cheese and tots too. All were delicious. Will be the go to stop when we are up in the area as we live 2.5 hrs away.

Picasso's is a quaint little place with original artwork on the walls. Table tops are chalk boards for drawing! Sandwiches are named after famous artists...very cool little place with outstanding sandwiches!

The food was good but the place needs a better floor and a good cleaning. The cashier was wonderful though.

Friendly fast service, nice decor, and AMAZING food, one of the best Rubens I've ever had!!!

Hands down, the best sandwich shop I've ever been to. Whenever I have friends in town, I make sure I take them bring them to this restaurant for a sammie like no other. Their food is so delicious and one-of-a-kind that I look for something comparable when I visit other cities... haven't found anyone that does it quite as well yet. Plus, it's a fun little place where you can draw on the the palette shaped tables with chalk. If it's a warm day, be sure to check out the back patio. It's lovely. Service is always personal, professional and fast. This is an Erie staple and a must try.

From out of town stopped for lunch. It was good and kids loved it. Dine in and you can draw on tables with chalk. The manager was very thorough in explaining the menu to my family. Wish there was one by my house in ohio!

Always a great experience. The food is amazing. A hidden gem for Erie.

Great Great service and food!!!

Ordered the Raphael and the Lee Roslyn. We got our sandwiches as meals. The customer service was great, my boyfriend said Ray was very nice to him. The sandwiches were literally to die for. Sooo good. Tots and the tot sauce were amazing too. We forgot to get our drinks but it doesn’t even matter cause the food was so good. We are from maryland and are so sad we are so far from here.

Very friendly staff and tasty quick bite

Super yummy sandwiches 😋 Gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegetarian friendly ❤️

Absolutely love Picasso's! Such a fun take on a sandwich joint! 10/10!

Haven't eaten here in years but it is as good as ever. The van gogh to go was a risk for a mess but soo worth it. Wish I had one of these where I live now, but it does give me a reason to come back to Erie.!

Great food. Good prices. Locally owned by a couple of guys who love what they do and do what they love. Owner manned the cash register and was excited to guide us through our first try. Everything was delicious. Definitely will be back.

Mediocre sandwich from people who think their shop is far better than it is.

Pushy on what to order and then didn’t give me the tots with the meal.

Delicious food. Server was really sweet.

Edit 2022: can someone tell me what’s BETTER since they moved? I regret coming here despite my last bad experience. Still no custom sandwiches like they used to. Still a 3% non cash fee. Still no yellow mustard like they used to. No chips as a side either like they used to. And the sandwich wasn’t nearly as good as it was in the old location. Goodbye for real. edit 2021: new location nixed the "self portrait". what's the point of all those amazing ingredients if you can't get what you want? surcharge for debit cards on a 9 dollar sandwich? who doesn't carry mustard? I'm sure I won't be missed, but I'm sad to say today is likely my last visit ever here. I'm so bummed as I really liked the food and often considered them a "something special" type place.
