"Friendly pub style atmosphere and pub setting, but with an extensive range of Italian food and drink at very reasonable prices mezza style buy several small dishes and share them between yourselves. The service was quick and very personable, always with a smile, the food was tasty, and we were given advice about dishes we didn't know, which was helpful too. It's very definitely an English pub with very definitely and Italian undertone! Loads of parking space. Access for people with limited mobility very easy. The outside eating area was equally lovely on a warm night, and we had drinks on the terrace with patio heaters at the end of the evening. Definitely a place to go back to."

Excellent food and service highly recommended but would also suggest that you book as very busy even at opening. Day time menu from £9.99 for 3 tapas courses

A brilliant concept! Italian tapas is the perfect way to explore the menu offerings. All the dishes are made fresh to order, and the cocktails are outstanding as well.
User
Definitely recommend the goats cheese and red onion pizza. The crumble dessert was not that great, a bit runny for my liking. Service was exceptional and Italian coffee never fails. View menu

I like the consept of it, it's nice to be able to order 2 or 3 small meals. Food was tasty, next time I know to order side so not just having meat with meat. They have a great cocktail menu they should promote it more e.g. the waiter or waitress could have brought it to our attention View menu

The staff here is incredibly friendly, and the food is absolutely amazing! If you’re like me and enjoy trying a variety of dishes, this is the perfect place to visit. You can order 4 to 5 items to enjoy on your own or share with others. The tapas and larger dishes are simply fantastic, and the quality is top-notch!

Pesto has a lovely atmosphere and feels very cosy! The staff were very welcoming and the service was great, fast and efficient without feeling rushed. The selection on the menu is great, I feel like I could go back again and again and try different combinations each time and enjoy all of them! The food was high quality and everything was super tasty and full of flavour, I love the concept of the small plates and it means you can have a little bit of everything you fancy, I would definitely go back here and definitely recommend it to others!
