" A mixed experience overall. The pizza was hands down some of the best I've had in the area, loaded with toppings and bursting with flavor! However, the service felt rushed and somewhat inattentive. I had to ask twice for water. I’m willing to overlook it because the food was that good. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience here was bittersweet. I loved the ambiance and the friendly staff, but I found my pizza a bit too greasy for my liking. The portion was generous, but I expected crisper crust. It’s possible that my experience was unique, as everyone else seemed to enjoy theirs! " (*Curated Review*)

" We ordered takeout last weekend and I was rather pleased with the pizza. It held up well during transit and tasted just as good at home. However, the lasagna seemed overcooked, which was disappointing. Definitely recommend the pizza for a cozy night in! " (*Curated Review*)

" We decided to celebrate our anniversary here, and it was a fantastic choice! The candlelit atmosphere was perfect, and our waiter was attentive without being overbearing. The seafood risotto was incredibly flavorful, a must-try! Just a note, the dessert portion could be larger. " (*Curated Review*)

" After a long day, I needed a place to unwind and Testo Pepesto proved to be the perfect spot. The cocktails were refreshing and the staff was genuinely welcoming. The Lobster mac is rich and utterly satisfying – perfect comfort food. Highly recommend their dessert options as well! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Testo Pepesto for the first time on a busy Saturday night. While the staff were incredibly friendly and tried their best, the food came out slow. The meatballs were delicious but the pasta felt a bit overcooked. Still, the ambiance was delightful, and I would definitely give them another shot! " (*Curated Review*)

" The service was friendly and accommodating, especially with my vegetarian dietary needs. The roasted vegetable pasta was delightful, while my partner enjoyed his spicy arrabbiata. My only critique would be that desserts could use more variety, but overall a pleasant experience. " (*Curated Review*)
