Got the penne vodka and it was bad. Not fresh at all and it took them 10 minutes to make. Way overpriced and underquality food. Go elsewhere!

Pesto is ok, but overall average. I tried it recently after not eating here for a few years. I actually gave up trying to eat here because it was always so packed by 5:30 that you couldn't get a table. That's a great restaurant! Things have changed. I arrived around 6 on a Friday evening and it wasn't full. Arancini are no longer complimentary, which is ok. It's still BYOB and no credit card fee. I admire them for that. We were seated promptly and it was comfortable. The decor is fine and still has a cozy feel. I had to ask for lemons for my water twice because the first person must've forgotten. We tried 4 appetizers. It took about 30 minutes just for the cold salads I ordered to come out... And again, it wasn't that busy. Some tables were empty, the wait staff were standing around, so it's a kitchen thing. Seafood salad - was excellent! Nice assortment for the price, tenderly cooked seafood and a tasty dressing that brought it together. Great job! Interesting though that their menu doesn't mention calamari in the salad, yet that's the majority of what's in it. Caesar salad - good portion, but average and tastes tasted boring. The dressing had hints of anchovy, but really needed more seasoning and parma. After waiting as long as we did for the hot apps, they really disappointed. Zuppa di clams (garlic wine) - $16 for only 7 clams in a bowl of broth that tasted more like butter/water. The clams themselves were fresh. Only 7... Mushroom and truffle - with "shaved Parm, arugula, garlic and truffle oil". Sounded delicious on paper, but was a letdown. Hardly any taste of truffle and was just like simple sauteed mushrooms. I think the service was fine, but for the amount of time we waited and overall impression with sampling 4 apps, it was meh. The owner listened to some feedback post meal and certainly cared. I hope that this review will help convey some of the shortcomings as well. It is sad to see the decline of many restaurants, with most making changes that only disappoint customers further. Hopefully Pesto can turn it around and be as busy as they used to be.

Just ate at Pesto. Great meal with friends. Fried artichoke appetizer was delicious. Brisket Ravioli appetizer was also delicious. Lobster & scallops with a light red sauce was fantastic. Asked them to replace the cream sauce. They were happy to comply. Still considering dessert!$

This is such a great place for a delicious yet affordable lunch in the Park Ridge area. Service was fantastic and the complimentary rice balls were a nice touch.

Came here to celebrate a birthday and had a party of 8. The service was outstanding, very attentive. We started with a lot of appetizers which all were good. The fried calamari was very tender. Everyone enjoyed their entrées. Chicken Parm portion was large. I brought half of it home. Great place to come to celebrate a birthday or just for a night out we will be back again soon.
