    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!

    The hostess cancelled my rsvp when I called & told her I was running a few minites late & was driving. I had to pull over & reenter my reservation. She cancelled it again. ??? Had to pull over & add again...I think she finally got it, that I was on my way.

    Server needed to be more attentive & missed out on a bigger check & tip because she failed to ask/check re: second round of drinks and other items. I would say that was the only disappointing factor during this visit.
