Came to this fine establishment by recommendation of a friend. I was pleasantly surprised! Centrally located on El Cajon Blvd in... San Diego, Pesto Italian Craft Kitchen is that place you want to go to bring a ?1st Date?. It?s not too much and is suitable foreveryone. Let me explain. They?ve got convenient parking in the rear. They?ve got super-friendly staff that greet you as youenter. They?ve got bar-seating, indoor seating and patio seating. They?ve got pick-up/take-out and dine-in options. They?ve gota relaxing ambiance that?s not too classy and not too trendy. It?s just right. It feels cozy and yet spacious. They?ve gottelevisions that vary from the Food network to sports and so it lends a little towards everyone. Their music really set themood. They were bumping classics from Frank Sinatra, to Dean Martin, to Stan Getz and then towards closing time, they playedsome more upbeat music. I REALLY appreciated their super-clean bathroom too. Their service was prompt & constant. Interestingenough, I believe you?re supposed to order & pay up-front at the desk and then seat yourself and you will be served. When I camein, I gave them my card, ordered a drink, opened a tab and took the menus to my seating. They came with my first drink and thenI was still able to place orders with the waitress. So, that was my work-around to not have to get up all the time. The waitressalso brought me plenty of beer samples, so I had a great drinking experience and ordered many. Their salads looked phenomenaland their paninis amazing! But in the end, I ordered a custom pizza. I got the ?Farmstand? and requested bbq chicken added. Itwas flawless! The basil was fresh, the sundried tomatoes were poppin and the goat cheese was perfect! (I?d like to add that theyalso have gluten-free options with their cauliflower crust and that was is fantastic) The only ?con? I experienced is that Iwished the waitress would have reminded me that it was Happy Hour and up-sold me more drinks! Read more
