How this place is rated 4.5 stars has me totally confused. No pasta or wine served at an Italian restaurant? We were offered vodka instead?? Bread and butter were the best part of the meal.

We just finished hosting a 40-person early dinner party at Pesto, and the experience was so good that I came home to write a review. Food was excellent (ask for the brisket ravioli), service was attentive without feeling overbearing, courses were brought out with good timing, and the space felt warm and cozy.

Exquisite! The Rigatoni Pesto was superb! As a family we loved the Rice Balls with the Caesar salad. The Shrimp Fra Diavolo was delicious. We had a lovely Father's Day lunch at home. Highly recommended!
