We absolutely love Pesto. The food is always amazing, and it is one of our favorite places to come as a family.

The garlic knots are consistently so good, and the Pestofredo is outstanding. My favorite is the gluten-free version, while my kids love the regular one. The truffle mushroom pizza is also wonderful and with the cauliflower crust it makes it even more spectacular in my opinion, but honestly, their pesto sauce is on another level. There is just no comparison....

I was a little upset because the cashier didn't bother to check the shelf for my Doordash order. I had to get back in line after 6minutes and lo and behold my order was SITTING ON THE SHELF THIS WHOLE TIME!

Got home and took a bite. It's delicious & im not mad anymore

I would gladly come back again

They split appetizers and mains here without charging extra which is rare. Got the pasta and portions were solid for the price, everything tasted fresh and sauce had actual flavor to it. Good wine list too if you're into that. Came midweek so it wasn't packed, servers knew their stuff. Honestly works great for group dinners when everyone's splitting checks and watching what they spend.
