I booked a table for 3 people online an hour earlier. Beautiful restaurant and was busy when we arrived. We were seated upstairs, there were a few other families up there and the atmosphere was good. Our food arrived quickly and our host was attentive. All food is small plates which allows you to order as many or as little as you like. Good offers on lunch menu which runs until 7pm during the week. The car park has plenty of spaces and the restaurant itself is in a main road 5-10 minutes from Chester. We will definitely return. The food was excellent
What a lovely restaurant. I’ve never been to a tapas bar before. Was pleasantly surprised. I thought ordering lots of meals would be too much, but it was just right. Enough that I could fit in the 3 little puddings I ordered. It cost about 30 that was for 4 courses and 3 little puddings and a drink. Great value for money. I can’t wait to go back .
Lovely Lovely lovely Italian tapas. The food is fantastic with a huge amount of choice, mix and match what ever you fancy and reasonably priced. 3 plates 11.99 13.99 14.99. The service was great and the food was served quickly. Overall a brilliant place to eat. Highly recommend you won't be disappointed.
It’s a lovely place! Highly recommend, plenty of nice options to try every time, i’ve been there twice already this week and shall be back again, I have received some amazing service from Philippa on both occasions, she’s quite a delight added to the place! If you like sweet things you much try the Angelico crema cocktail, it’s to die for!
My first time at this restaurant but very pleasantly surprised. The quality is very good indeed, especially given the enormous choice. Each of the choices I made were first rate, especially the spicy pizietta. My wife and a friend also enjoyed their meals. The value for money is amazing. A big plus is the location in the countryside with loads of parking. I anticipate another visit when my son and his family visit from the USA.
Food was amazing and very reasonably priced. The lady that looked after us was lovely too
Went for lunch the other day and thought we’d try something different. Pulled up in car park of Pesto Italian restaurant on the Chester high road, looks lovely from the outside and on entering the premises was impressed with the layout. Didn’t have a booking but still offered a table. Unsure of how it works the staff very friendly and helpful ran through how the menu works. Ordered drinks and followed by food. Service was very quick and it wasn’t long before the food arrived. Quality of food was top notch and very tasty. Bill came to 30 for the two of us with drinks. Will definitely be eating there again. Only advice is to go early if eating lunch as it gets very busy, but rightly so as I cannot fault anything and highly recommend a visit
Had lunch for two, chose 3 small plates each. Each one was gorgeous but we both loved the arancini the best! The service was excellent and the food arrived quickly after ordering. We were more than full but managed to share a desert! We will definitely be coming back to our new favourite place very reasonably priced too!
