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.
THE BEST PASTA PLACE IN SOUTH BAY! I absolutely enjoyed all the dishes I have tried here. I strongly recommend their Spaghetti Carbonara and Gnocchi in pink sauce. Amazing food and service. I’m actually little bit angry that I found out this place so late!😂😂 I love their chimichurri too. It tastes just like home-made ones.
This was our first dining experience here. I told the waitress that we were in a bit of a hurry but that didn't seem to matter. Service was very slow.....(she had only 3 tables a time while we were there, so I'm don't know why the service was so slow)! I had to flag her down for things we needed and even didn't get refills for our sodas. Gave up on that. The reason I'm giving 4 stars is for the food! Everything we ate was very good, with the exception for the tomatoes they served with the mozzarella caprese..... They were hard and not ripe! Couldn't eat them. Willing to try them one more time....Hopefully service will be better!
This place is a solid option for Italian food in Southern California, and It is a spot I would visit again for the food.
The interior leaves a bit to be desired however if one wants to sit in opulence, there are tons of places to go sit in within Los Angeles.
We went here for the food and it delivered.
BEST italian food in town. A real hidden gem in the south bay area. Family owned, very friendly. Everything is DELICIOUS
Awesome pasta!!. I usually get the Spaghetti Carbonara with pink sauce at least once a week and it never disappoints. The diced beef sandwich is also pretty good at lunchtime, tastes like a Philly cheesteak with tons of flavour. I work close by so this is a perfect spot to catch a quick lunch. So glad we can sit there and eat now. The young lady at the front is so sweet and kind. Great vibes and 5stars for sure!
