We were able to get to Di Pescara in time for the Supper Club - which is such a fantastic deal. The food was delicious, as usual....love the almond crusted whitefish. And the chopped salad. And the peppermint ice cream with fudge sauce! We had a 5 year old birthday girl, who wasn't sure she wanted to be there. Our wait person was so patient and kind. She really helped make the evening!

Wonderful dinner; the Service was great, the food and drinks were outstanding, Huge portions of salmon and a very large chicken parmesan. It was my wife's birthday and it was a very nice experience. They gave her a special desert. Thank you all very much.

We love DiPescara but last night was off. We were celebrating an anniversary (which they were aware of) and were were being seated at a cozy corner booth which was perfect, but another party grabbed their host and convinced her to give them our table. We were never consulted but just moved to a center 4 top in the middle of all the traffic. Wish we’d celebrated elsewhere.

It’s great that the takeout business is active but the dining room was cold because of the takeout door opening frequently. Our server was not n top of his game- forgot items, had to be asked several times for specifics and didn’t return after serving our meals to check to see if everything was okay. Food- quality and portion size was great.

We went to di Pescara for the first time this evening. We took our daughter-in-law's mother who just moved to the area. We were impressed by the service. Our server was knowledgeable, and when my side that was delivered was wrong, she immediately noticed and brought me the right side order at no charge. The food was delicious. I had the scallop risotto. The scallops were perfectly cooked, and the risotto was creamy. We'll be sure to go back to di Pescara whenever we visit my daughter-in-law's mother again.
