Showed up and the restaurant was relatively busy with only a few open tables inside. The restaurant has a fish tank with some large fish which was cool. We were immediately greeted to get drink orders. We ended up ordering the 10 inch Tuscan pizza (it came cut into 6 slices). We also ordered the Chicken Saltimbocca. After about 15-20 minutes both dishes arrived. The Chicken Saltimbocca was outstanding. The flavor was delicious. Would highly recommend. The Tuscan pizza was also great. We were worried it might be dry but did not have a problem. Overall, the meal was wonderful and we will definitely come back to try more. Our server was kind and efficient and overall it was an awesome meal.

I have to commend the operators and the staff at Pestos for a great experience this past Saturday…read more We arrived for our 6:30 reservation to find that the whole area was without power. We thought we would have to go somewhere else. Instead we were treated to a very nice "candlelit" experience that was still up to the very high standard that we had come to expect from Pestos. The food was delicious, the service was excellent. We all had a great time. Bravo to you and your staff for overcoming a difficult situation and making it great.

My friend wanted something in between our houses as she recently moved to Maricopa while I'm in the…read morefar east valley, and she wanted pasta specifically. I searched my Yelp bookmarks and remembered a few fellow Yelpers wrote great reviews about this location. I love that you can do a reservation through Yelp, though it was slower on a Sunday evening around 5:30pm so the reservation wasn't needed. She arrived before me, so I asked the hostess to direct me where she was at. The interior seems to be divided in sections, and we were seated in a dining room area with table clothes and more nicer Italian restaurant vibes versus martini/wine bar. What we ordered: - Bruschetta "Va Bene" ($9.95): great flavor, and impressed the price point is under $10! - Linguine Al Pesto ($19.95): my friend ordered, and remarked how delicious the sauce was. - Risotto Mare Monte ($28.95): the texture of the risotto was great, and I enjoyed the flavor. A very good risotto comparative to others in the valley I've tried. - Crème Brûlée ($8.95): not my favorite, but also not the worst. A pretty solid crème brûlée and next time, I'd try the tiramisu (dined with my pregnant friend who's avoiding caffeine). I had my heart set on a vodka martini, but they were out of blue cheese stuffed olives which was a bummer. It was one of the deciding factors why I chose this place. Other than that, it was a great dinner and I'd return in hopes of having a martini and exploring more of the menu.

But you need to call, there are no online reservations. Even for early times (4:30pm) we needed reservations. The servers and hostess were very friendly. All the dinners come with unlimited salad and bread. We got the common choices, chicken Parmesan, eggplant Parmesan, grilled chicken linguine, and margarita. The servings were reasonable size and about what you would expect. They do offer the option to "Sicilianize" pasta dishes to make them more spicy and flavorful. We tried this on a couple dishes but it did not add much. Ok to test out but don't expect spicy.

We've been several times, both dining in and doing takeout, and it's always consistently good. The service is great, the pizza is all handmade with a thin crust (not Neapolitan-thin), a flavorful sauce, and just the right amount of toppings. The salads are always fresh and easy to share. They have a well-appointed dining room along with outdoor seating. It does get crowded due to its popularity, so reservations are a good idea. Highly recommend.

Especially the Chicken Parm and Shrimp/Scallion Linguine, the chicken and seafood were cooked to perfection, and the seasoning paired quite nicely. Colton, our waiter, was professional, attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, in addition to being accommodating to our 1-year-old daughter (who also deserves a five-star rating for being such a good girl). The building, from the exterior, with its upper level covered in plant life, to the quite Italian interior, made for an appropriate dining atmosphere. With the back of house providing excellent food and Colton providing excellent service, our evening was elevated. Thank you for the meal Carrabba's!

I had not been to Carrabba's in years. I felt like eating soup and remembered how good their…read morechicken soup was so I called to place an order. Upon calling, I spoke with a male employee. He told me when it would be ready and that was it. When I asked if I should come inside to pick up the order, his response was, "Yep". When I got home, I spoke with the store manager about the employees response of "Yep". When I asked if he thought this was an appropriate response, the manager said "Yep", that is how he would have responded but that he would have added a little more to it. That was the end of the conversation. When I arrived home and poured the soup in a bowl, I saw 2 very, very small pieces of chicken!! That was it. I only live maybe 6 minutes from the restaurant and the soup was lukewarm. I also ordered meatballs. They were cold!! I recommended this restaurant to a friend. I am so very relieved that she did not go. I will NEVER go back and I will NEVER recommend this restaurant!! Rude staff and rude manager. Quality of food is VERY POOR!!
