Pelato is a highly praised restaurant that offers fresh, delicious food in a beautiful and spacious setting. Visitors often enjoy a variety of dishes, especially the Pelato salad, meatballs, and vodka pasta, which is noted for being tasty, rich, and well-shaped. Many guests appreciate sharing multiple plates, with some trying a “flight” of pastas to sample different flavors. The food is served fresh to order, and the portions are perfect for sharing among groups. The menu includes items like mozzarella, chicken parm, radiatore vodka, rigatoni, garlic bread, clams, and ice cream sandwiches, all received positively. The drinks, including margaritas and cocktails, are also highly recommended.
Service at Pelato is frequently praised, with servers like DaJané, Will, and Alden being described as kind, helpful, knowledgeable, and providing great timing. The ambiance is noted as enjoyable, adding to the overall experience. Guests often leave satisfied, full, and eager to return, especially after multiple visits.
However, some concerns were raised about the restaurant’s policy for splitting bills, which only allows four equal payments, making group dining less convenient and somewhat awkward for larger parties. Despite this, Pelato remains a popular choice for special occasions and casual dining alike, offering a memorable and tasty experience.
