Piccolo’s Florist and Gifts

Great experience today with the delivery of flowers to my mom who is in the hospital. Every other florist in Omaha said it was too late for delivery, but Piccolos said they could do it for me! The young lady on the phone went through several things with me and helped me decide on the best options. She was so patient even though I asked question after question. I had to make sure there were no smelly flowers since my mom is so sensitive to fragrance and they delivered a beautiful bouquet to her that was ready when she got out of surgery. It’s wonderful to know that a local company half way across the country can do such an amazing job!!! Thank you Piccolos’!!!

They came through on speed, memorial service next day. However, the arrangement selected from the website didn’t look anything like the photo. Look at Heavenly Heights, lots of multi-​sized pink and red flowers, looks full and vibrant pinks and reds. Our arrangement, for the full price $ 106, had 5 medium size pink carnations across the bottom, 3 – 4 gerber daisies, and 5 – 6 small white (?) lilies arranged mid section. There were no gladiolas and no other sizes or types of flowers to fill it out– it was very sparse – like flower-​lots of green space-​flower-​lots of green space. It didn’t look like the web image at all. I was pretty shocked when we saw it at the memorial service for the $ 106 price. All in all I was disappointed. Should’ve gone with Stems.

I’m from out of town and wanted to send flowers to a friend in Omaha, so I did a Google search and Piccolo’s was the first search result to pop up. I called them and a young woman answered the phone. I explained that I’d like to get flowers sent that day and told her my budget. She cheerfully said they could help and took down all of the necessary information. Within a few minutes, I was off the phone. That was at Noon. At 2:30pm, my friend send me a text to say thank you for the beautiful flowers. I was floored. Two and a half hours and they had the order to my friend’s doorstep! Great customer service, quick turnaround and everything was done. Thank you for your help in brightening my friend’s day.

My favorite place to get flowers from in Omaha. They are always very polite, very reasonable prices and flowers look amazing while lasting a decent amount of time. I actually came here to get a flower for my now fiancé for our second date. They must have magic dust in their flowers.

My significant other ordered flowers for me from Piccolos. He ordered a bouquet of pink tulips (my favorite) right off of their front page. They called him the morning they were supposed to be delivered & told him they didn’t have them in stock. (Despite them still being advertised on their website).
So they sent me a different bouquet & put a couple of tulips in it, just to ensure I got tulips. The tulips never even opened & promptly shriveled. They also changed what he had written on the card! Completely unacceptable.
I would never recommend buying any flowers from this establishment.

Piccolo’s Florist is a must stop in Omaha when I need flowers. Not only do I enjoy the arrangements that they send out for my wife, but I enjoy the staff very well. The manager Frank Piccolo is just so nice to work with. I always make sure to say hello to him if I stop in.
The product is always well prepared and lasts for over 7 days. I have never been let down at Piccolo’s.
In 2012 Frank Piccolo did my wife and I’s wedding. Needless to say I was more than pleased. After we sat down with Frank we knew we wanted Piccolo’s Florist to do our wedding flowers!!!
BEST FLORIST IN TOWN.

I received flowers from Piccolo’s Florist to celebrate my five years cancer free! The flower arrangement was amazing! The florists used many spring and bright colored flowers! Then they added five roses to represent the five years of me being a survivor! I was so excited to receive the flowers! Piccolo’s did an amaZing job once agin! Thanks for making my day amazing!

I live in Denver Colorado and order for my parents in Omaha several times a year. This flower shop is the very best of the best! They have always went above and beyond and knocked every bouquet out of the park for me. They have delivered to Sebastian’s steakhouse and other points of interest for me! I wish that I could find a local flower shop in Denver that could present a «over the top» bouquet like Piccolo’s. They are always eager to help, friendly and professional… not to mention they have the most fresh and beautiful flower bouquets that I have ever seen in my life.
I would recommend this flower shop in Omaha for anyone that is looking to impress!!!
Love them!!!

My wife and I had a consultation here to discuss our flower order for our wedding. We reviewed some specific photos illustrating the shape of our bride, bridesmaids, and table bouquets. A simple globe-​shaped arrangement for all 3 of these bouquet categories. My wife was very specific that she wanted globe shapes and our consultation lady promised that’s what we’d get. Well lo and behold, wedding day rolls around and when we picked up the flowers the morning of the event, they were basic bouquets. Nowhere near the shape we wanted. They also sent the order with 8 to 10 glass vases that we were directed to return back to Piccolo’s. Nice surprise, seeing that we never discussed «borrowing» any vases during our consultation. Nor did we ask for any vases for ANY of our bouquets. If anyone who reads this review has put on a wedding, they know the inconvenience of having more shit to do, especially unexpected shit like returning vases that were never discussed when purchasing a bunch of flowers.
Seeing that my wife cried her eyes out on the morning of our wedding after seeing these flowers that were nowhere near what we ordered, we made several trips back to Piccolos to get them remedied, all while trying to get ready for our wedding. My mom eventually went to Hy-​Vee and their florist put together a bridal bouquet within and hour, just using the photo we originally showed the lady at Piccolo’s.
Jump ahead 3 days later and here I am returning all their vases AND the shitty bouquets they sent us off with. Our consultation lady doesn’t work this particular Monday so I couldn’t personally speak to her to voice my disappointment. I spoke to Frank, the GM of the store, and he credited me back a measly $ 140 for 4 of our table bouquets. This motherFuXXer looked at all the returned bridesmaids bouquets (7 ea x $ 30 ea) against the photo we originally showed our consultation lady and said «Well those look kinda close to your photo so I can’t credit you back. Perhaps you should have paid more and we would have made them more like the photo…» Imagine the smoke coming out of my ears when that $hit spewed out of his mouth.
Piccolo’s, you can kiss my a$$, I’m glad I get to contribute to your 2-​star rating on Unilocal by tossing you 1 star, Hopefully that drags your ratings lower. Hopefully people read this rating before using you for wedding flowers. I will personally discredit the Piccolo’s Florists at any opportunity given, and never pass along a favorable review.
Best of Omaha my a$$. Sincerely,
Wayne

I wish I could give them zero stars as they are awful. Long story short. Husband ordered flowers in person, paid and was very specific. They didn’t bother to deliver them and then lied about saying that they tried. We were home and within view of the front door all day. Finally the next day they delivered flowers that were at least 3 days old. Already wilting in some areas. The worst part of the entire experience is the customer service received was horrible. Were basically told too bad. Despite the fact that the driver who brought out the flowers the next day told us that the driver originally supposed to deliver was complaining about having to go out and deliver this far. He clearly didn’t bother and Piccolos wouldn’t do anything; even offer an apology. They shut their phones off at 3PM so they wouldn’t have to deal with the many other orders not fulfilled. This is unfortunate that a company such as Piccolos can behave this way and yet people still order from them. Many many better florists in town. Stay clear of this one.

When I need a florist, it’s usually because I’m out of town and need to order something online… Piccolo’s really does their online business right. They send you notifications when your order has been delivered, they give you a better arrangement if what you ordered isn’t available at that moment, and they don’t bill you until the flowers have been received. It would be really easy for a service-​based company to take advantage of online customers, but Piccolo’s does great work and has earned my long-​term business.

Their address has changed.

They have the most beautiful wedding roses! They have a big selection of all kinds of different flowers too. The staff is also very knowledgeable about their stuff!
