Our server was that wonderful combination of professionalism but friendly. The pita was warm soft and delightful with pesto. Tuna tartare was best we've had at Pescatore. Will be back for sure.
Food was great- compliments the chef 🤌🏼 Servers were pleasant, however, we had a $700 tab and were somehow rushed out, before we could even finish our wine. Also, a nearby table rudely told us we were 'being too loud,' which we strongly disagree with, we were simply enjoying a rare family night out. After this experience, it's hard to imagine choosing this place again.
Absolutely divine! Christmas prix fixe feast was spectacular as was service. The lobster bisque! The branzino! The Pescatore! Made a very special holiday truly magical.
It wasn't bad it just wasn't something we prefer on Christmas Eve . We thought we would try something different , we had never been here so I realized we were chancing it , not the restaurant fault . Also 20% auto grat on a 4 top is high Our service was average
We had mid-sized family celebration and rented out their backroom. Hassan and his team were so attentive and friendly and the food was delicious. Would highly recommend for any event big or small!

Incredible food both times I've been here. Most recently I got the scallops that were delicious, with a generous sized portion of scallops. I think our waitress' name was Dominique, she was great with our two little boys. Will be going back.

5 family members of various ages and appetites had a lovely dinner at Pescatore BYOB. The Signature Flatbread is a Ceasar salad with shrimp and crab on a pita and was a great starter for the table. 1 salad fed all of us with some leftover. It could be a meal in itself. Nana's Sunday Gravy won for best dish among the 5 of us. All of the chicken dishes were a huge hit. My brother claimed the Gnocchi was a bit undercooked and yet he ate his entire plate. The restaurant is very clean and eye appealing, with an Italian, city vibe. The service was outstanding from the greeting to the table service. Our servers had smiles and personality plus. If we were locals, we would definitely return.
We came back to Pescatore after a long time. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. The tables that are set up for six people are too small. Two people have to reach the table at an angle or be very intimate with the person sitting next to you. It took more that an hour to get the main course at the table and where we were sitting (near the bar area) there was a smelly trash bin. The scallops mediocre. Very oily. Clearly, the restaurant could not accommodate the number of people admitted for dining.
We've been here a dozen times and this is the first we've had that left the experience lagging. It was a Saturday night, but kitchen was very slow leading to the waitress not coming around much. Took almost an hour to get our order taken. Food was excellent as usual.
The food was excellent, as was the service. The issue we had was that we were not in the main dining area. We were located in the newer extension of the restaurant, and the noise level was very high due to three large groups that were there with us. It was difficult for us to carry on a conversation at our table due to the noise.

Excellent food, a menu that has something for everyone and lovely personable service! It was a bit loud and warm (on a busy Saturday night) so wear layers you can remove and enjoy a delicious dinner!
Normally don’t leave reviews but felt compelled after visiting this hidden gem for the third time last week over the course of a year. As a long time mainline resident I’ve tried all the Italian restaurants in the area. Some good some bad but most never consistent. This place has managed to have great food, great service and an excellent ambiance every time I visit. Probably the reason why it’s always packed. Highly recommend anyone who hasn’t tried to place to stop by and have a meal. You won’t regret it.
