    Low-key neighborhood BYOB that's worth a visit. Fine service and a nice menu -- nothing revolutionary, but Italian standards done well.

    Amazing dining experience, ambience is relaxing, newly decorated and looks great. Sofia was our server, great personality and very attentive. Hassan is very friendly and treats his staff very well, a whole different climate. GREAT STAFF♥️The Pescatore and Fettuccine Bolognese were exceptional, finished off our meal with double espressos (BYOB, Sambuca) and it was a perfect ending to a delicious meal. Highly recommend Pescatore, we will be back with friends and family over the holidays. Many thanks for such a great night!

    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!

    We have eaten here both before and after the new owners took over. As always, the food and services was excellent and the price was very reasonable. It is our “go to” restaurant and we will be back soon

    Great atmosphere and even better food! The salmon special was so good and of course, had to start with the amazing signature flatbread! Place just keeps getting better and better! The staff was attentive and managed greatly for such a busy Saturday! Will be back!

    It’s better than ever! Fantastic arancini, great pastas, fritto misto with the proper light batter and no rubber inside, beautiful branzino, and simple mashed potatoes just the way I like them - not puréed into a thin paste. But the service was most impressive because the place was jammed to the rafters and they could have used at least one more server. The staff kept their cool, stayed pleasant, and made it all work despite the very heavy load. And despite the full house, it was not horribly noisy and conversation was easy.
