Very Italian family atmosphere. If you plan to chat over dinner, request a table in the smaller. Carpeted dinning room.

Stopped by to celebrate my mother’s birthday and the entire visit was amazing! Plenty of parking, including a good amount of handicapped spots, no long line on a Sunday evening, clean look with professional team. Our reservation was ready for us even though we’d shown up a touch early, our waitress was a sweet younger woman with black hair neatly tucked back- respectful, patient, and observant. She did a wonderful job keeping our drinks filled and making sure we enjoyed our experience. A model employee, everyone seemed well trained and guest forward. Our soup and salad orders arrived at the perfect time, then our meals were delivered in the same fashion- everything was delicious! My creamy pesto tortellini was absolutely divine and I adored the pine nuts mixed in, the serving size was great as well! Overall a good visit and for the level of service I would say well worth the price.

I was seated at a table right next to the bathroom even though there were empty tables. When asked if I could be moved, I was told the other tables were reserved. No one showed up for those tables the whole time I was there. I was interrupted constantly with people brushing past me. Very uncomfortable experience.

I had the scallops with macadamia nuts. Excellent taste and texture. The scallops were perfect. My dining companion had a salad and the Vodka Chicken and also only had good things to say. Nice atmosphere. Wonderful service, came by exactly enough but didn’t hover. Very friendly. Parking can be an issue.

Dietary restrictions: There were both gluten free and vegan options.

The only reason for the ding is because a couple at the table next to mine was having an increasingly loud argument filled with profanity. It passed the point where I felt the staff should have acted.

Dietary restrictions: Bit rough getting dairy free

Everything was excellent. We had the Tortellini Caprese, Pestos Signature Sampler, Pumpkin Martini, Limoncello Martini, Seafood alla Vodka, Ravioli and one of the chicken dishes. Just amazing!

Kid-friendliness: The restaurant was packed with lots of families, dress was very casual. Lots of kids around and there is a kids menu.

The Vodka chicken and breadsticks is the best restaurant meal I have ever had, Pestos is my whole family's favorite. Food and service are always top-notch. Been there dozens of times and never once been disappointed.

Came here for a bday dinner with my hubs and sister -Bartender was so sweet and friendly! The drink specials were amazing, we got one of each and their food is amazing. 10/10

I normally just order carry out, but I give 5 star rating's across the board for that Vodka Chicken, if you like chicken breast and angel hair pasta you will love this dish.
