Delicious Italian food and wonderful service. Nice wine and cocktail selection, overall good value for money. Went with my girl friends and we ordered several menu items and shared desserts. The chef even came out and greeted our table. We will go again soon!

My boyfriend and I went for a belated birthday dinner for myself and the server was so sweet and kind! Brandon (our server) even offered us a free dessert. I recommend the spumoni and tortellini ala vodka with prosciutto. Great atmosphere and even better food. Definitely going to become a regular here. 10/10 hands down best Italian food I have ever had.

I heard Pesto’s is not under new management and I had to try it out. The food was delicious! I didn’t drink myself but they had a solid list of wines and cocktails as well. The service was friendly and made our group feel very comfortable and attended too. Give Pesto’s a go!

I’m trying not to be too hyper critical. This is the first time I’ve been here in almost 20 years the food is similar but a little bit different. I had the spaghetti and my husband had the mushroom ravioli special.

Best Italian food. First time there. And it won’t be the last. Jersey girl approved

UPDATE: Since changing ownership and reopening, there are definitely some differences. Much of the menu is very similar, but it’s not identical. Food presentation is a bit more refined and the restaurant interior has traded the old hippie-style for a more Italian cafe look. Definitely not as funky, but a nice atmosphere that seems a little more “together”.

Food was good. Atmosphere was noisy, because the restaurant was full and everyone was having a great time. Service was attentive, but not so oppressive that we couldn’t have conversations.

Amazing experience with great service! New ownership has made everything better. The food and desserts are 10/10. I dined in but ordered every dessert to-go, so I enjoyed them for the next few days afterwards. The presentation even for to-go orders blew me away. Can’t wait to go back for more!!!
