Best Italian Tapas Restaurant with lots of varieties for both vegetarian and non-vegetarian. Customer service is excellent with food coming out very quickly. Great family atmosphere, with onsite parking. Reasonably priced. Attentive service provided by Shauna.
Today was my first visit with a friend who loves eating here.
I was surprised how many people were waiting for it to open on a Monday lunchtime!
We were greeted in a friendly manner, we were asked if there was any allergies, it’s lovely to be asked that rather than me having to state I’m gluten free. I was advised the menu lists the allergens, I was also given the allergen guide, they have GF pasta and pizza bases.
The lady serving us was very clued up on what was safe, I also asked to remove garlic from my dishes and it was great how easy this request was!
The food arrived quickly, it was all hot and so tasty, I’ll definitely be back here again!
We had dessert, I was advised straight away what is GF and 1 that needed slightly changing to make it safe.
Overall a fab restaurant with friendly and polite staff! Also really good value for money! Thank you
This was the first time I’ve been to an Italian that serves small plates and was very pleased. There was a good range of food on offer and the staff were very friendly and answered all our questions. They had plenty of veggie options (mostly cheese based). I’d recommend the mushroom bruschetta, goats cheese pizzette, and the arancini with saffron was also very very lovely. I tasted my partners tiramisu - which I regret not ordering myself!
Amazing place we discover and decided to celebrate our anniversary there, from the hostess to the table seating atmosphere, food and service we couldn't fault anything...5 Big Golden stars, amazing really x👍
Have been wanting to eat here for ages and it absolutely lived up to our high expectations on our first visit in March. Amazing food - very tasty, expertly cooked and the small plates mean we did not have too many difficulties in choosing what to have as we could try several !! Service was great and the team managed being busy very well. Will definitely be back !
Really good value for money, big portions for tapas. Really loved the pesto, chicken pasta and the prawn linguine. Everyone enjoyed their food. This was my third time coming to this restaurant and will be back. The menu is so big there’s so much to try.
Great food, fair prices. Service was really good, food was lovely. Been a few times now and never had a bad meal. 3 plates is more than enough, I always end up waddling out after eating too much because I'm greedy and order 4 plates.
Love going to Pesto, this is one of the better ones as well. The food is always so tasty, every dish is so flavourful. The service is always brilliant. Italian tapas is just an amazing idea and it's one of my favourite places to visit. We sometimes go to the Axe and Compass in Wolvey which is also great. One of the best carbonaras, and we also love the chicken skewers as well, they're so juicy. Absolutely gutted they've taken the cheesecake off the menu as it was the best cheesecake ever.
Tried this place for the 1st time. Nice place, good atmosphere, but food wasn't fresh, probably all cooked from frozen. Food was served very quickly. I didn't even get a chance to get a pint down me before it all came. It's probably not a bad thing if you're hungry.
A group of 5 went for a celebration meal.
The menu is rather large but that is ok because you're ordering on average 3-4 plates each. The tastes and flavours were amazing.
The kids were kept busy with colouring and crayons.
And the decor was beautiful. The staff were friendly and very attentive.
We will definitely be returning.
My first Pesto experience, and I can see why it is a favourite restaurant of my leicester family! The food was just phenomenal, and we each chose 3 dishes to try! We will be returning to try more of the menu next time we are in Leicester!
Really good food friendly staff. The member of staff that took our order and the service she gave was excellent. Someone who really enjoyed her work.the drinks are not expensive the bar staff are very warm and welcoming its the second time i have been i really enjoyed it and will be going back .
Went on a Friday when they do the offer, prawns were from the normal menu, if I go again I'd prefer from the menu rather than to 3 for 10/12 menu. Nice atmosphere, good prices, staff let the place down, but hey ho - they might have just been having a rubbish day, will be be back to try again soon.
Food and service were very good. Would definitely recommend. Small dishes, I ordered 3 to make up main meal, very reasonable price. Good kids meals one for under 7s and one for over. Within price you also get a dessert and drink.
Arrived Sunday early evening without a booking. Greeting was a little underwhelming, but it was very busy.
Service staff were lovely. Polite, friendly, obliging and well presented.
Food arrived quickly and on the whole was amazing - a little too much oil on a couple of dishes for our taste. But that is purely down to personal preference.
Nine plates, three desserts and a round of drinks for under £80 was reasonable value.
We were celebrating a 60th birthday, would have been nice if that was acknowledge in some small way - maybe something to consider?
A friendly location, food is a 10 😋 #foodlover #delicious #yum
First time here. Pesto was recommended by family so we all decided to give it a try. We couldn't fault it at all. The place looked very nice, with a good atmosphere. The service was superb. The food was awesome, we ordered quite alot of dishes and everyone was delicious. Definitely adding pesto to our small list of go to places to eat. We can see this place being great in the summer too with the outdoor seating etc.
