Pesto Bistro and Wine Bar

Been there a few times and the food and service are always on point.

The Chicken Piccata is my favorite with their Alfredo being a close second. The desserts are also amazing. Rich, flavorful, and definitely worth saving room for or taking to go.

I have a very mild coconut allergy but had to sneak a taste of the homemade bread pudding everyone raved about and it so worth it!

The vibe is relaxed but still feels special, and the service was friendly and attentive. One of my favorite places in Bradenton for a nice dinner and great food all around!

This space is definitely a hidden gem in Bradenton. The owner Joe is also a wonderfully charismatic and talented individual.
I recommend the bread pudding. It’s the absolute best I’ve ever had. And if you have friends from out of town, bring them here to impress them.

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.

Delicious food, warm atmosphere. We have never been disappointed with our meals. Love this restaurant!

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.

When I go to a restaurant not only do I want good food I want good service. My husband and I were visiting from out of town and our server Rachel made us feel like we were friends. Thank you for the good recommendations (absolutely delicious) and the amazing service.

A regular of mine at work highly recommended Pesto and even so nicely brought me a gift certificate for my family and I to check this place out. WOW. I was so impressed. Courtney our server is doing a little bit of everything, and making it look like it’s bread and butter. Speaking of bread.. the bread & pesto.. I couldn’t put it down. We all had amazing authentic meals and all said ‘you can tell this was true Italian sauces and food’. I will highly recommend this place to anyone. The atmosphere, the service, the food.. 100/10. We will definitely be back! Thank you Courtney & chefs for a wonderful experience.
