| About: | A popular downtown lunch spot, Pesto's serves up tasty Italian fare in an eclectic atmosphere. The restaurant evolves from its fast paced nature to a quiet dining experience on the weekends, serving two cuisines in one, Italian as well as a unique Persian.( Friday and Saturday nights). On Weekends sit down and you're immediately treated to a plate of steaming pita, onion, feta cheese and butter sprinkled with fresh herbs. Don't fill up, since appetizers are large and entrees larger. Homemade yogurt comes with mint and cucumber or dried garlic, each good on the pita. Kashke bademjan, silky pureed eggplant with garlic and mint, is also good with the bread, but also with the pillowy basmati rice that accompanies it. Lamb comes in several forms, all tender and juicy. It's at its simplest marinated with lime and skewered over rice. Beef eaters will moan over the Pesto's soltani, marinated in lime and onion, served with rice. Regulars love the Bastani, a pistachio, Saffron ice cream Indulge yourself in a cup of Persian tea or a glass of red wine. |
