    Pio is one of our absolute favorite restaurants! The food is consistently savory, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying—everything tastes fresh and perfectly seasoned. The service is just as great as the food: warm, friendly, and welcoming every single time. We’re regulars because we know we’ll always have a great experience, whether it’s a quick meal or a sit-down visit. Pio never disappoints, and we’ll definitely keep coming back!

    This place is a lot better than the one in Dilworth. Worth the drive from the other side of town. I order a quart rotisserie chicken w/yuca and plantains. My daughter (not in pic) order a lomo saltado. The meat was so tender and juice. I would definitely go here again!

    Very kind staff and phenomenal food. Use half the bottle of garlic sauce like I and my dining partner did. Garlic sauce is enough of a reason to go by itself. I got the bandeja paisa and thoroughly enjoyed all of it

    Food is amazing! We love it here and tell all our friends about this place. Service is good, but today something very uncomfortable happened to me and my small children. Our waiter greeted us well, but as we were walking to our take, I look back and the waiter picked my 5 year old off the floor and hugged her, like she was her godmother or part of our family, a very tight hug. It was off putting to say the least, because I teach my kid about stranger safety and even though I believe this was a cultural thing that is probably normal for the waiter, it was not normal for us and afterwords my daughter kept asking why she did that and she felt scared of her since she was a stranger. Again, I asked her to not do that again in a very nice manner, I did not disrespect the waiter bc I believe she did not mean any harm, but nowadays, we never know and parents need to be extra careful with little ones. Had I been the wrong parent, this could have ended badly. Anyhow. The place is amazing, food is delicious and owners are incredible, however I think this should be addressed because it was very very uncomfortable for me, my daughter and my son who also questions why she was hugging his little sister.

    Lights on, music on, open sign lit up, but doors locked. The hours on the door? The closing time is pulled off. And the guy inside just stares at me when I try to open the door. Poor business manners and customer service
