We all know what “home food” means. Yes, food that is made by your mother or grandmother, served under cozy dining table light, so natural that you don’t even think about what it tastes like. It’s just simply and naturally “good food.” Pesto’s Italian Restaurant is truly meant for that word.To be honest, every Italian restaurant you search for are either fancy ones or “pizza and pasta” joints. This restaurant is neither. When you walk in and eat their food, you feel like every taste being “home food.” Nothing too fancy, nothing too cheap, but really homey. Just imagine like this. You got invited by your Italian friend and his/her grandmother cooked you some plates. And those plates may be completely normal to them. But to you, it’s not just another Italian plates. Just so good, you know? I actually don’t know how to describe this place further. You just have to try!!!Of course, everyone who works there are super friendly and warm. We don’t go their often because of distance. But whenever we go pass by it, we go there.Definitely try their Seafood Chioppino, which is just flawless, and Artichokes Gorgonzola Pizza, cheesy but fresh.
Been going here for about 5 years now. Not often enough though.. I don't understand some of the low star reviews. Lovely restaurant with nice ambiance. Low music in the background, ampil lighting, clean and comfortable seating. Our waiter was pleasant, asked for refills on drinks and bread and asked how was our food. Did not rush us. Food was very fresh, served hot and was very tasty. Wife had veal marsala, very tender and tasty. I had grilled salmon with a pesto sauce, very juicy and good flavor. With a appetizer and two regular drinks with 20% tip paid 70 bucks. Worth every penny. I know you can't make everyone happy but happiness starts with one self.
$16 for the smallest pizza ever with barely any toppings. We didn't pick anything off before the photo. Meat lovers? Not nearly enough to love. Service was super slow and not very helpful. It took almost an hour for our food to arrive. Bread with the garlic basil dip was yummy however no offer to refill. Got their specialty soup, can't remember the name but it's the creamed veggie soup, had no flavor at all and for 8 bucks? No thanks. My Chicken Florentine had no flavor either. The only bright spot was the shrimp pesto. I would only go back for the pesto... Maybe.
BEST italian food in town. A real hidden gem in the south bay area. Family owned, very friendly. Everything is DELICIOUS
