about Pesto

Pesto seems to have divided the dining world. With its small Italian dishes called Piattini, those who are paid to eat out don’t seem to enjoy it while those who pay out to dine often rave about it online.

Here’s some of what’s already been said:
It sells it self as an Italian done tapas style, which is a bit confusing, but if you forget the marketing spiel and just sample the dishes, Pesto did well for a large party with varied tastes.

Tapas are typically small Spanish dishes, but Pesto has thrown the rule book our of the window and provided miniature meals from other countries.

Our main course arrived before our starters. Whisked away, they were replaced by an average salad and a small, stodgy circle of dough, overladen with tomato paste.

In an age where we are supposed to be rediscovering the value of good food, Pesto takes us backwards. It is a venue naked in its pursuit of profit.

It’s not a destination place. It’s somewhere to go in for an hour or so whilst shopping, early doors, pre or post cinema.

We went to pesto for the first time this week and thought the food was amazing ! Despite some of the reports we had read regarding the poor service, we found it to be “spot on” and very quick. Would have no hesitation in recommending this restaurant to anyone !

Brilliant could not find any faults although believe me I tried. Terrific food, service, staff and atmosphere. Well done.
