PESTO: A Great Way To Say Thank You
04/03/2005
Needed a top notch meal to thank my cousins for show tickets to the Walnut and Pesto was the answer. We feasted on sumptuous appetizers, diverse main courses and decadent desserts; sharing our four portions family style. Try the sole, filleted table side. It was my favorite even though I rarely order fish. Save room for dessert. You won't be able to resist the chocolate volcano. The wait staff is plentiful and there is a special server just to announce the longest appetizer list I've ever heard. We felt compelled to order one for each of us after his performance and we were glad we did. They were delicious.

Outstanding

Pesto's came highly recommened. We were very pleased with the food and service that we received. From the minute we walked in the door we were made to feel like one of the family. The hostess greeted us with all smiles. The service was more than could be expected. The server made sure that all of our needs were met throughout our meal. The one thing that really impressed us is when the chef came out to see how our meal was. We will definately be eating at Pesto's in the future and we will also recommend this establishment to all of our friends.

Exceptional

We were referred to Pesto's by a very good friend and were told that we would not be disappointed. Well, they were right. We have never been to a restuarant that made you feel like a member of the family. Upon walking in the door we were greeted with smiles and laughter. The hostess checked on us throughout our meal to make sure that we were happy with our meal and service. The cook also came out to make sure that we were satisfied. We were not the only ones they were doing this to...we noticed that they did this with all of the patrons. The food was as good as mama's. I have told several friends about Pesto's. Some have already tried Pesto's and said that we were not wrong about how good the place is. I look forward to returning for another wonderful meal.

Best restaurant in the city!!!

I have been to Ristorante Pesto a countless number of times, and each time is better than the last. The menu offers so many choices and there are so many specials each night. The entire meal is always delicious, from appetizers, entrees, coffee, and desserts. The service is unbeatable. The hostesses are so sweet and charming with every single customer and you definitely feel like you're at home in this restaurant. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an authentic, affordable Italian meal in a warm, inviting, and cozy atmostphere.

Great Dining Experience

I recently dined at Pesto on a Tuesday night since they renovated and this place is classy. They also had a nice crowd for a Tuesday night. The tapestries are beautiful. You can literally eat off the floors and the bathrooms are spotless. The food was unbelievable. I chewed as slowly as possible so I can savor every bite. I highly recommend the homemade gnocchi in a pesto sauce (obviously). The waiter was a very sophisticated and educated young man that wore glasses and a polo shirt that promoted both of the owners restuarants. He was very knowledgeable of the specials which was impressive. I also had the pleasure of meeting the two chefs who were very cordial and welcoming. The chefs created a special dessert for me to try complimentary that was divine. A great dining experience.

Try It!

After wanting to stop here many times we finally did last night. The carrots and potatoes platter to greet you is a nice touch....I had the Gnocchi Pesto and was very pleased. We only saw one waiter and busboy due to being understaffed for the night but these two were amazing. They were better than most fully staffed restaurants....will definitely visit again.
