About:Pesto Ristorante offers a warm atmosphere with homemade fresh Italian food at a reasonable price. Chef-owner Vincenzo Belvito prepares authentic cuisine from the Northern and Southern regions of Italy. House-made pastas and gnocchi, traditional veal scaloppini, lamb osso-bucco and seasonal specials are offered in a comfortable setting with the aura of an Italian Bistro. There is a wine list offering a good selection of Pinot Grigio, Chianti and bold Italian reds. The restaurant hosts a bar area, two dining rooms and outdoor dining in warmer months. The main dining room reflects a Tuscany yellow tint with wall sconces that create an inviting atmosphere. The back dining room offers Pesto's candlelit fireplace and mirrored faux French doors that allow for a more intimate setting.

    Fantastic!!: One of the best finds in the city! My husband and I have been going to the restaurant for the last two years and are welcomed in each time by the warmest waitstaff and owner in the city! The food is amazing and very inexpensive for both the quality and charm of this quiet restaurant. The authentic italian charm is definitely worth checking out!!
