" Pisto al Pesto is a hidden treasure in Oaxaca! I tried their pasta and pizza, and both were brilliant. Delicious flavors and everything is fresh. What I loved most was the atmosphere; it felt like dining in a quaint Italian alleyway. Plus, the service was very attentive without being intrusive. A must-try for anyone wanting a break from the local cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" Simply the best pizza I have tasted in Mexico. I am not usually a fan of Neapolitan style pizza, but Pisto al Pesto changed my mind! The crust was perfectly chewy, the tomato sauce bursting with flavour, and the fresh basil added a lovely touch. The staff were also very kind and attentive, making sure my dining experience was exceptional. I can't recommend this place enough; it truly deserves all the praises it gets! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a wonderful experience! The moment I stepped inside Pisto al Pesto, I felt transported straight to Italy. The ambiance is charming, with rustic decor and a cozy courtyard. I ordered the Margherita pizza, and it was divine—fresh mozzarella and a perfect crust with just the right amount of char from the wood-fired oven. The service was incredibly attentive, making me feel like a valued guest. Highly recommend this spot for anyone in Oaxaca looking for authentic Italian food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Very good experience overall at Pisto al Pesto. The pizza was flavorful, and I appreciated the complimentary focaccia. Very nice atmosphere to relax and enjoy good food. I will definitely recommend it to friends visiting Oaxaca. The only downside was having to wait for a table, but that’s a good sign of a popular restaurant! " (*Curated Review*)
