Picolinos
About This Spot
Stepping into Picolinos at Rustic Timbers Garden Centre is like finding a quiet nook where life slows just enough to savor good company and great food. Nestled amidst lush greenery and the gentle murmur of a fishpond, the outdoor setting invites you to settle into a sunlit afternoon, the kind where conversations flow easily and laughter bubbles up naturally. It's a place where families feel at ease, kids find their own little corner to play, and friends reconnect over shared slices and chilled craft beers.
The vibe here strikes a careful balance between relaxed and lively. There’s the soft rhythm of birds and gentle garden sounds, yet the energy from bustling tables and warm, attentive staff keeps the space alive without ever feeling overwhelming. This is a spot where the pace gently ebbs—perfect for lingering over a meal or simply soaking up the moment.
At Picolinos, food is an experience that unfolds in layers: the aroma of freshly baked dough, the vibrant colors of thoughtfully chosen toppings, and the comfort of familiar favorites served with a twist. Whether crafting your own pizza masterpiece or sharing a plate of pasta with friends, each bite reflects a genuine passion for flavor and quality. The menu, diverse and accommodating, reflects a community that values choice — from breakfast treats to hearty dinners and inventive options that cater to all tastes.
This is the kind of place where the human element shines through—the smiles of the staff who remember your name, the safe-keeping of forgotten belongings, the little interactions that transform a meal into a memory. Here, the food is more than just fuel; it’s a celebration of connection set against the backdrop of a garden that's as much part of the experience as the food itself.

We had a lovely Saturday lunch. The pizza and pasta was delicious and the service from Lucky & team was fantastic. If you are looking for a lovely afternoon in an outdoor setting with great pizza & pasta, this is the place to be.

Excellent service. My drunken gf left her purse there and it was kept safely by management until we picked it up the next morning. Besides that, the waiters are all super friendly, the pizza is delicious, the beers are cold, and the atmosphere is awesome. All round 5 stars.

Paradise Found! This place is an absolute gem that delights all your senses. The beautifully maintained gardens are a feast for the eyes, complete with a serene fishpond where ducks glide peacefully across the water. Little ones are well catered for with a fantastic play area, making it perfect for family outings. The food is nothing short of exceptional - their pizzas are masterpieces, perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. What sets them apart is their brilliant condiment service: each table gets bottles of both their signature jalapeño sauce and chili sauce, letting you customize your meal to your preferred heat level. Both sauces are incredible and complement the food perfectly. The atmosphere strikes that perfect balance - scenic and sophisticated yet wonderfully relaxed. You can enjoy a cold beer while taking in the garden views, watch the kids play, or simply soak in the peaceful ambiance. The staff are attentive and welcoming, adding to the warm, inviting vibe. Whether you're planning a family day out, a casual lunch with friends, or a relaxing dinner, this place ticks all the boxes. It's that rare find where excellent food meets beautiful surroundings and thoughtful service. A true must-visit destination that exceeds expectations in every way!

Loved this place. Outdoor sitting, getting sun kissed, kids have their own mini play zone to enjoy. Simply loved the pizza. I am definitely going there again. I would say it was a hidden gem of Joburg.
