This popular byob Italian restaurant on the Mainline suburbs of Philadelphia offers delicious Italian dishes. Our waiter was fabulous, accommodating our special requests and even arranged for my mom's cravings for eggplant Parmesan which was not on the menu that night. Desserts were yummy. And a generous size. We had pumpkin cheesecake and tiramisu. Prices were on the higher end. Ambiance pretty basic.

To many cream sauces. Petty to charge extra for spinach if you do not want mashed potatoes and only offer Brussels sprouts which were cold! Many items priced too high for what is presented. New owners. Not the quality of what original owners offered

Pescatore used to be a wonderful spot to eat but under new ownership, it failed miserably. Vegetable platter was a disaster. Veggies were over cooked, under seasoned and swimming in oil. Farfalle Carbonara had shrimp mixed in with tail shells left on. The apricot salad had dressing that was pasty and non rescript. Veal Grand Marnier was just mediocre. We will not be returning

9.13.25 Thank you to our server, Gamze...It's a Saturday... and busy, but fast service... Hasan is the manager, and he is very nice and gentle with a sweet smile and diffused my being upset that when I called, we couldn't get through, instantly! We got a nice quiet table on the lower side and a lovely calm and sweet server and we ordered bottle of Stillwater because they don't have a liquor license, which was perfect for us because we really don't drink . My mother has had her birthday here and we wanted to try it out with my birthday. We ordered the stuff clams, which were very good and had no peppers in them which I'm allergic to, but the crabcake had peppers in it so we switched appetizers with each other. The crabcake came with a wonderful arugula salad with white raisins. That was delicious, they serve a thick pita bread, cut into four triangles with pesto sauce, which is absolutely a wonderful appetizer! we split the apricot salad and we also split the seafood gnocchi, cream sauce, lobster meat entrée... for my birthday, they put a candle on a cannoli, which was absolutely so cute, and we ordered the lemon cello cake, which was both delicious! Special thanks for a wonderful birthday, Pescatore, Hasan, and Gamze!

Food was good overall but needed a little more seasoning for one of our party the Risotto was undercooked. The service was excellent & our server was very attentive to all of our needs.

Cheerful, excellent Italian BYOB spot! 🎉 Plenty of on-street parking, which made things easy. We came as a party of four and all of our entrées were delicious. Cozy atmosphere, friendly service, and great value when you can bring your own wine. Highly recommend for a relaxed night out with friends! 🍝🍷
Great food & service. We had a couple of the specials as well as menu items- all very good.

We were in town for a concert & my baby did his research because this restaurant was both very intimate & group friendly! Absolute chefs 💋! They do not... I repeat, do not serve any booze, folks! However, You bring your own bottle of wine, & our amazing waitress did a perfect pour! Both of our dishes were delicious, very unique, my only beef was that you had to ask for bread! I always need to taste the bread!!!! 🤣

Great food but energetic so ask for the quieter tables in the lower room if you want to talk. A few too many mussels and too few shrimp in the featured pasta dish. Wonderful wait staff. Good value.
