    We had excellent service and the waiter gave wonderful recommendations. He was very attentive and the ambiance was amazing. Love the partnership with the school district for the students to play jazz on Mondays. They sounded great and very professional.

    Met up for a girls brunch and had soooo much fun. We started with a pitcher of mimosas and it didn’t disappoint. From there we ordered a lit bit of everything and shared. The beignets were with berry compote yummy, apple pie French toast, wings, and a traditional breakfast platter. All really good. Our server John was great as we were catching up.

    Amazing! First time dining at Pescatore and we will be back! Food was exceptional. We enjoyed the arrancini and burrata to start. Hassan was a very attentive server and very kind. I had the rigatoni bolognese and it was so flavorful and delicious. The cannoli for dessert was the perfect bit of sweet to end our meal. BYO is always a plus. I enjoyed seeing the restaurant fill up and come alive as the evening went on. It is the place to be! We had a really wonderful meal and night out here and would love to return. Glad our friends recommended it as our place to go for the evening. Thank you to staff for accommodating one of our guests and his rollator walker. Extra points for being very handicap accessible for him. Thank you for a fun time and great dinner!
