Dined here on Saturday June 25th after rave reviews from our friends and they were not wrong! Everyone was extremely friendly,... from the bussers to the owner and everyone in between. It was like eating over your Italian aunt's house! Fresh bread servicewith oil, grated cheese and crushed red peppers. Each table is brought a dish of marinated carrots. Oh my lord, the carrots. Icould just eat these by the bucket full and be content. For apps we ordered the calamari and bracciolatini. Best calamari I'veever had!! Fresh with the perfect coating. Bracciolatini was tender and delicious. Entrees were their award winning Cavatelli(short homemade pasta with lobster, shrimp and crabmeat in a rose sauce), Vitello mare e Monti (veal with shrimp, mozzarellaand prosciutto in a mushroom demiglasse), salmon alla veneziana (salmon with shrimp, clams, mussels and crabmeat in a rosesauce) and gnocchi in a gorganzola sauce. Again everything was wonderful. Pastas are homemade. The gnocchi were like littlepotato pillows from heaven that just melted in your mouth. Ended things on a perfect sweet note with great desserts includingcreme brulee, reese's cake, oreo ice cream cake and a limoncello marscarpone cake. We will be back and bring anyone who will letus. Such a friendly, welcoming environment with outstanding food! Do not miss this spot! Read more
Ristorante Pesto was the best Italian food I have ever had. I had the absolute pleasure of dining here a few nights ago and... wanted to express the incredible experience I had. First, the service is amazing. The staff here is friendly and accommodating.If not for the food, I will come back for the wonderful woman who greeted us. The atmosphere of the restaurant is perfect,upscale but also comfortable. I ordered the gnocchi with pesto and was blown away. I never knew how good gnocchi could be. If Icould give Ristorante Pesto 10 stars, I would. I 100% recommend dining here. Read more

Our favorite restaurant in Philadelphia! My husband John and I come to Pesto every time we visit Philadelphia! Connie and Gianna... are absolutely wonderful hosts and the food is always delicious! Pesto was one of the only restaurants open when COVID startedand I was diagnosed with cancer last September. And Gianna made my husband and I feel right at home when we came to Pesto. Wewere in a strange town and felt saf and just needed a hot meal and she helped us get our mind off our sad moment. We havecontinued to visit every time we come to see my surgeon and now I am Cancer Free! Read more
