Pesto was absolutely fantastic! The food is amazing, the atmosphere is really nice and upscale, and the waitstaff is superb! I highly recommend coming here. We had the trio appetizer, chicken parmesean, chicken pesto and cilantro, and our friends had chicken pesto Chipotle. Everyone absolutely loved all their food.

Crystal is amazing. If you’re gonna come here ask for Crystal always! She is so sweet, her service is spectacular, and she knows so much about the drinks and the menu. she is amazing. However, the only reason I wouldn’t give it a 5 star was because of Mike. We did not have a reservation but still able to be sat, we were not greeted for another 10 minutes while Mike set up for a table that wasn’t even here yet for 5 of the 10 minutes when I finally went to ask for help that’s...

This is by far the best italian food I have ever had. We live in Raleigh and tried this place the last time we were in San Antonio 7 years ago. It left such an impression we had to track it down again this trip and it did not disappoint! Our server Philip was amazing! So attentive and engaging. And the food was even better than I remember. The trio crustini appetizer and the Shrimp Alejandra were incredible. I can't wait for our next trip so we can experience it again!
