Review of Pio Pio, a festive Peruvian restaurant in Jackson Heights, Queens, that serves roast chicken, and is a worthy of a family occasion. With two colorful levels, several dining areas, and a back patio, Pio Pio handles big weekend crowds of families and friends. Though the menu is simple -- just roast chicken, seafood, and sides -- the food is cooked perfectly, served promptly, and priced reasonably. And Pio Pio's green hot sauce is in a word, addictive.
