I joined coworkers for lunch before a meeting and really enjoyed this restaurant! The feel is clean, open, airy; the staff are friendly and knowledgeable- helping with questions on menu/food restrictions; and the food smells and looks amazing as it tastes! I had the spinach salad with grilled salmon. I’m estimating about 5-6 oz. Of beautifully cooked salmon. The portions are wonderful. I ordered 10 garlic knots for our table but otherwise my order would have been closer to $20. My colleagues pizza, wings, a chicken Caesar, and I know someone had pasta- maybe lasagna? But I was too enthralled in my meal to look too closely. Everyone was happy and complimenting staff on how delicious it was. I highly recommend and look forward to my next visit!

This is one of my favorite local spots! I absolutely love their pizza, especially the hawaiian.
The garlic knots are fire, too!
I'm not too impressed with their wines, though. I do wish they had more options. I had their Malbec with my pizza, and the wine was rather disappointing. It seems as if their wine menu is revolving because they have different stuff every time I go. 🤷🏻
Nonetheless, their pizza!

The food is fantastic, and the service is great. This is our second visit, and we always receive a warm welcome from the team. We appreciate the indoor and outdoor dining options. We celebrated my brother's birthday, and the cashier was very helpful in taking our order. They even turned on the outdoor space heaters, allowing us to enjoy our family dinner outside. I highly recommend this place to friends and family for a delightful dining experience!

Incredible food and exceptional service. This was our second visit, and we've consistently been welcomed by the team. The restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor seating, and we appreciate the variety. On this occasion, we were celebrating my brother's birthday, and we were impressed with the cashier's service. They helped us place our order and even turned on the outdoor space heaters to ensure we could enjoy our family dinner comfortably outside. A solid 10/10 recommendation for friends and family to experience a delightful dinner here!

Pesto is by far one of my favorite Italian restaurants. I love the atmosphere and the "greenhouse vibes" it gives with all of their cute plants. As for the food, the PestoFredo is my go to meal. It's so delicious and flavorful, and the garlic knots go really well it it ! I love everything about Pesto and their employee Mayella at the College grove location always takes care of me when I'm there or even when I order take out. She goes above and beyond to make sure us customers enjoy our food as well as her service. If you have not been to Pesto yet, make sure to visit one of their locations ! You don't want to miss out.

You can tell when food was made with love and oh man this restaurant has it. Great atmosphere filled with a mix of comfortable furniture and high ceilings. Enjoyed all the plants kept inside and fresh wildflowers made for a wonderful dining experience. Someone loves this place and now we do too 🤌

I love meeting friends for lunch here. Check out their daily lunch specials. Make sure to check in on Yelp and try their free garlic knots!
Went back today and we had
Chicken Parm with fettuccine in a Pomodoro sauce and the Chicken Piccata Spaghetti which was in the perfect lemon butter sauce!
