Located inside Zeppelin Station. New to the entire area. Wanted to go to Coperta but it was closed on Monday’s. Found this gem and was plenty happy with getting the Pesto Chicken, mozzarella sticks, linguine bolognese, and couple of drinks. Ate inside at one of the tables. This location has something for everyone. Zeppelin Station has multiple options for food inside. Not your typical mall food court fair, but like legit food establishments like sushi and some other things. Great vibe there and everyone seemed happy being there.
Vegetarian options: Didn’t look too hard but did see “ vegetarian option.”
Parking: We didn’t pay but I think we were supposed to. It’s public parking so I think you have to pay during the week.
I usually do not leave reviews but I feel like a fool for coming here. Ordered a Margarita pizza and got what feels like a frozen Trader Joe’s pizza for $20. Showed up when my order was ready supposed to be ready and was told 5 more minutes just to watch them grab a pizza and throw it in the oven and wait ten more minutes. I’d recommend finding another spot.

Worst Italian food I have had. And this is coming from someone raised by a late Vito so. Skip eating here.

[EDITED] I was really unsure about rating this a 2 or 1 star.
I'm visiting from out of state and wanted to do dinner at Zeppelin Station before heading to an event. So we accounted for more than enough time to eat at a food hall.
AMBIANCE - Zeppelin Station was DEAD on a Saturday evening. Only 3 places were open and the fourth looked like it was operating, but only as a ghost kitchen because they were making food. I was thinking we were going to have plenty time since there weren't a lot of people. Disclaimer, this ambiance review is not reflective of Pesto Italiano, but mentioned due to the long wait time with little people.
FOOD - Food was decent. Good at best, being nice. We got what we expected and it wasn't spectacular, and luckily, it wasn't inedible. It was good though, don't get me wrong.
SERVICE - This is what really brought it down for me. Considering we (thought) we had plenty time to eat there before we had to leave, we ordered and waited...and waited. We were seeing the same people wait as long as us as well. 45 minutes later, we asked what the status was. The gentleman was giving us the reasoning of them having so many orders. And it's true, they were all hustling and prioritizing MOBILE orders like Doordash and Grubhub. Glad they're still making business, but at that point, they put aside the people who were actually there to dine-in and ordered in-person. Optics-wise, it should've run as a ghost kitchen like the other spot. At 45 min, the gentleman told us they haven't started our order yet. We asked them to just make it to-go. When our order was ready, it wasn't in to-go containers. First guy wasn't apologetic at all. When our 2nd order was ready, at least the lady was super apologetic and explained the situation.
I guess the lack of communication and prioritization of in-person dining really dampened our experience here. I'm glad they do well with mobile orders though.

a very underwhelming, generic sandwich / experience for the price. I recommend rerouting to Lous or Culture if you want a quality Italian sub

I only ever get the Linguini Bolognese from here, but it’s always good, extra good if in the fridge and reheated the next day which means it’s good pasta

This place is inside the Zeppelin station. It's a little Italian place that sells healthy Italian food. They have pasta and pizza and all is hand crafted. This place is good and I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a healthy Italian place. Quick service and the staff was super friendly...I'll definitely be back here again

High style food stalls with a common bar and outdoor eating space.
First time here and right off the bat the service wasn’t great. I ordered the spaghetti & meatballs which were decent. The food was a little cold but nothing too bad. My partner ordered the Pesto Penne Burrata and it was not good. The taste was just not there at all. We also had some garlic bread and it was completely drenched and soggy from either how much butter or garlic they put. This wouldn’t have been as of a bad experience but it’s the price that we just can’t justify. We paid $60 for the 3 items. Eat somewhere else if you can. Keep in mind, we were the only customers there. It was really slow.
The carbonara is outstanding. The staff is friendly, too! I cannot recommend enough.

Just tried this place for the first time. I got a turnover and the spaghetti carbonara delivered. The turnover was good, but light on the ingredients and they forgot my extra side of sauce. But the big disappointment was the carbonara. I found two short dark hairs mixed in it. Won’t be ordering from here again.

Abe is a truly terrible owner who exploits undocumented workers and cheats the system for legal workers. There is by far so many better QSR and Italian in general that you can taste and enjoy and feel satisfied after paying $30+ per meal
