Consistently excellent food and relaxing atmosphere. We’ve taken many guests here over the years, and every single one was impressed. Even the really picky ones! Honestly, it doesn’t look like much from the outside, but give it a try. Courtney is a great server; we’re thinking of adopting her.
Lovely and charming space with excellent food. I recommend the goat cheese and beet salad as an appetizer. Is the spot I recommend to anyone from out of town and try to bring relatives here. It’s definitely one of the gems in Bradenton. Highly recommend.
Hubby and I sat on the patio tonight, service was excellent and the food was exceptional. I had the gluten free Penne with vodka sauce and wild mushrooms, he had the halibut special. Both were delish. Bread was fabulous. Music was a nice volume.

Pesto Bistro and Wine Bar offers great food and service, surprising guests with the quality despite its appearance. The Osso Buco is fall-off-the-bone and perfectly seasoned, while the eggplant parmesan is highly recommended. The extensive wine list is reasonably priced, and the tiramisu is a must-try dessert. Customers often praise the authentic Italian sauces and food, noting that the dishes taste true to Italy. The cozy atmosphere features white tablecloths and quiet background music, creating a perfect setting for a relaxed night out. Attentive servers provide friendly and attentive service, helping with food and wine choices and ensuring no one leaves hungry. The bread and pesto are favorites, and the veal dishes are particularly delicious and succulent. The vibe is relaxed but still feels special, making it a great place for a nice dinner. Many visitors enjoy the homemade bread pudding, which is considered the best they’ve ever had. With live entertainment and personable staff, Pesto Bistro delivers an outstanding dining experience for all, making it a top choice for those seeking a break from touristy seafood spots or fast food.
