We thoroughly enjoyed the warm atmosphere, the vibrant vibe, and the excellent service that did not go unnoticed. The tiaramasu pie is magnificent, you just have to experience it for yourself.

We stumbled onto Pesto's a couple of weeks ago and have already eaten there twice. The food has been outstanding both times—remarkably consistent and genuinely excellent. The salad dressings are great. The pizza is phenomenal, with a crust that’s easily some of the best I’ve had since moving to the Chandler area. The pastas are excellent, and the desserts are on another level. The tiramisu is hands-down the best tiramisu I’ve ever had. Even the coffee is excellent. Service is just as strong as the food. The servers are attentive without being overbearing, drinks are always kept full, and the bussers are on top of everything. You’re never left waiting or wondering if you’ve been forgotten. This place is doing everything right—great food, great staff, and a well-run operation. I highly recommend Pesto’s to anyone looking for outstanding Italian food and truly excellent pizza.

This place is a pearl. You gotta look really close to discover it’s so precious. Love every meal, every moment. The atmosphere is very cozy and the food is spectacular. It’s my favorite Italian place now.

I saw this on a local food review show and decided to try it out. They recommended making a reservation and yes you will definitely want to make a reservation. They were really busy buy they had wait staff check in on us every few minutes. Watters were refilled and plates picked up without ever having to even think about it. We tried a few appetizers, pizza, and pasta. Everything was delicious. I also tried the Mediterranean Mule drink which was really refreshing. Setting is really nice. You completely forget you are in a strip mall between a smoke shop and dentist. Prices were actually pretty good for a nice Italian restaurant. Overall I highly recommend this place!

Solid Italian food! Moderate price point. Lackluster lunch special options, but this is clearly a more dinner oriented place. Still, would love to see something more exciting than cheese pizza or spaghetti and marinara on the lunch specials. Maybe a small portion of a more exciting pasta with a salad? Anyway, ordered off the full menu at lunch, got the mushroom pasta and added sausage. Everything tasted very fresh and good quality. Iced tea was good, flavorful, and fresh. Good portion size. Would absolutely return and recommend.
