" We enjoyed a wonderful family gathering at Pesto's. The staff were kind and eager to please. The portions were generous, and while the food was enjoyable, it did not quite have the authentic Italian flair I had hoped for. Still, a nice place to celebrate special occasions. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a great meal at Pesto's recently! The quality of the food was impressive. I tried the lobster ravioli, which was rich and had just the right sauce. It could be busy at times, but we were seated promptly and our drinks were refilled almost immediately. I’ll definitely recommend this place to friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" Pesto's has been my favorite Italian spot for years! Their seafood alfredo is incredible, and the portion sizes are perfect. I always leave satisfied. The staff is friendly and welcoming. While the atmosphere can get busy, it's never off-putting. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" First time at Pesto's and it did not disappoint! The ambiance was cozy, and the service was top-notch. I ordered the seafood pasta, which was loaded with shrimp and scallops. It felt authentic and was full of flavor. I'll definitely be coming back to try their pizza next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes after hearing great things about Pesto's, but my experience was underwhelming. I felt that my dish lacked the authenticity typical of Italian cuisine. The service was pleasant but lacked attention when it came to refilling drinks. I would love to see them step up their culinary game as they have such potential. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Pesto's for a family gathering and we were thoroughly impressed. The ambiance was festive and welcoming; a perfect spot for our occasion. The highlight was the chicken parm, which was huge and packed with flavor. My only suggestion is to improve on dessert choices. Overall, a lovely evening! " (*Curated Review*)

" While I appreciated the homey feel of Pesto's, I felt my dish lacked authenticity. The flavors didn't live up to my initial excitement. That said, my family enjoyed their meals, and the service was consistently good. Not sure if I’d return for the food specifically, but the atmosphere is charming. " (*Curated Review*)
