We all know what “home food” means. Yes, food that is made by your mother or grandmother, served under cozy dining table light, so natural that you don’t even think about what it tastes like. It’s just simply and naturally “good food.” Pesto’s Italian Restaurant is truly meant for that word.
To be honest, every Italian restaurant you search for are either fancy ones or “pizza and pasta” joints. This restaurant is neither. When you walk in and eat their food, you feel like every taste being “home food.” Nothing too fancy, nothing too cheap, but really homey. Just imagine like this. You got invited by your Italian friend and his/her grandmother cooked you some plates. And those plates may be completely normal to them. But to you, it’s not just another Italian plates. Just so good, you know? I actually don’t know how to describe this place further. You just have to try!!!
Of course, everyone who works there are super friendly and warm. We don’t go their often because of distance. But whenever we go pass by it, we go there.
Definitely try their Seafood Chioppino, which is just flawless, and Artichokes Gorgonzola Pizza, cheesy but fresh.
Been going here for about 5 years now. Not often enough though.. I don't understand some of the low star reviews. Lovely restaurant with nice ambiance. Low music in the background, ampil lighting, clean and comfortable seating. Our waiter was pleasant, asked for refills on drinks and bread and asked how was our food. Did not rush us. Food was very fresh, served hot and was very tasty. Wife had veal marsala, very tender and tasty. I had grilled salmon with a pesto sauce, very juicy and good flavor. With a appetizer and two regular drinks with 20% tip paid 70 bucks. Worth every penny. I know you can't make everyone happy but happiness starts with one self.
THE BEST PASTA PLACE IN SOUTH BAY! I absolutely enjoyed all the dishes I have tried here. I strongly recommend their Spaghetti Carbonara and Gnocchi in pink sauce. Amazing food and service. I’m actually little bit angry that I found out this place so late!😂😂 I love their chimichurri too. It tastes just like home-made ones.
