This place is located on the NE corner of Warner and McClintock. There is a lot of parking and a…read morepickup window for takeout. Definitely would recommend reservations. 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.

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.

It must be the same interior designer because even though the restaurants are so different, they have a similar feel, and I like it! The enormous wine bottle light fixtures are pretty cool. We ordered the Saganaki to start, which is delish. I love the flavor of the lemon they use to put out the fire. Can you ever go wrong with delicious melted cheese? Hubby ordered rigatoni with Bolognese and steak meatballs. I didn't taste it, but he really liked it. My son ordered Caccio e Pepe pappardelle. I tasted it and it was very yummy. I had the meatball ferris wheel which is literally a little ferris wheel with little bowls with a different kind of meatball in each. The Ferris wheel ended up just making it harder to eat, but I do think the novelty of it is cute. That said, I was super disappointed. I liked the steak meatball pretty well and the arabbiata was yummy, but the rest were mediocre for me. I love meatballs but, honestly, I've had meatballs that I like better elsewhere. My bread was also over-toasted, making it kind of like a hard crumbly rock. Our server was very nice and quite friendly, but both my husband and I noticed that she actually boxed the food at the two tables near us for those people, but for us, just just dropped off boxes and a bag at our table and left us to do it ourselves. I don't mind doing it myself, but what made us different from the other tables? All in all it was good. The pasta was fresh and perfectly cooked and sooo good and the Saganaki was also delish. The meatballs, not so much for me.

I ate the whole thing! The cheese was so amazing. I'm usually very very picky with my vegan cheese and I normally don't even order it at restaurants because it's normally not good. But my goodness this cheese was fantastic. The crust was fantastic and I have to say the sauce was so good! I never eat the whole pizza and I did! My husband ordered like a meat lovers's pizza and he ate the whole thing and my son ordered a cauliflower crust pizza and he ate his pizza. It was fantastic! I highly recommend coming into this place. The vibe is super cool. The service is Amazing, and the menu has something for everyone! I was just very happy that I found a place that I could enjoy. Our waitress Tadem was super nice, professional, and helpful but answering all my questions. We are from out of town so I wish we had this in California. But when I come back here, this is the first place I'm gonna stop by!

All the staff were friendly & welcoming. Our server was prompt to our table. We ordered our usual. Hubby got a beer & I got red sangria. Both were good. We get a full other of the garlic bread without cheese. Their garlic bread is the best garlic bread in AZ! Hubby got the spaghetti with marinara sauce & added 3 meatballs. I got the chicken parmigiana, but on the fettuccine I got Alfredo sauce. All of the food was excellent! The best we have had. The only reason for the 4 stars is all of our empty cups & plates remained on our table until after we left. We even ordered another order of garlic bread to take home after we were done eating, & the dishes remained on the table. I didn't take any pictures since we got the same food I've posted pictures of before.

We LOVED our dinner at DeFalco's so much we returned the next day... and the next!…read more For dinner on our first visit, we ordered the Chicago beef sandwich and spaghetti with meatballs. I highly recommend trying both, especially if you've never had a Chicago beef. The juicy beef paired with giardiniera is super savory. Damn! I'm craving it again. For lunch on our second visit, we ordered the Chief Beef special and a margherita pizza. This was, by far, the BEST margherita pizza ever! I think I've said that in another review... but for reals this time! The pizza was perfectly crispy on the bottom with just the right amount of basil to top off each bite. For dinner on our third visit, we ordered the clam linguine and an Italian beef sandwich. My husband says this clam linguine was better than the other versions he's eaten at Little Italy. The Italian sandwich was good, but not as savory as the Chicago beef. Can't wait to eat here, again, the next time we visit the Padres during spring training.

I ordered the chicken parm and the joes Italian . It was good but I felt like there was some flavor lacking from both. They were huge though and definitely can be split to two meals or shareable.

Staff were very friendly and the place was busy during lunch time so usually that says plenty. The Reuben was tasty, definitely not the best that I've had but I would get it again. The cheese wasn't melted enough and I asked for an extra side of thousand island dressing, so they didn't put any on the sandwich. Just little things that weren't done right. I tried it on their focaccia bread. Loved the rosemary flavor and it was a lot thicker and softer than your usual focaccia. I prefer the more dense and crunchy kind but that's just a personal preference. Their restroom was clean but when you open the door to the back, it smells foul. Almost like a sewer smell, very off putting when you are about to eat. Overall not a bad experience.

Everything was packaged nicely with the soup in a container and the bread bowl on the side. The sandwich was exactly what I wanted but it was a little lean with meat and I definitely didn't get the extra cranberry I requested. The Wisconsin cheese soup was amazing. The perfect consistency with great flavor. The inside of the bread bowl was soft and doughy and the bread pieces dipped in the soup was comforting. The best part was when I was finished the inside of the bowl had soaked up that soup and was a pleasant soggy mess. Oh so good. I'd definitely order from here again when in the Tempe area. For the price though I think another slice of turkey and more cranberry would have made this an excellent dining experience.

Neighborhood favorite for Italian. Though this is so close to home, we reserve it for special…read moreoccasions -- birthdays, anniversaries, etc., because it really is special. This past weekend I had the ravioli (I know, boring, right?) ... but it is mellow and a burst of rich flavor at the same time. Great sauce. Hubby had some sort of seafood medley special and he's ready to back already. Dessert -- panicotta. Oh my goodness. Some kind of creamy base topped with fruit puree. Probably one of my all-time favorite desserts. If we go on the weekend and neglected to make a reservation, we take a seat at the bar if the wait is too long for a table, and we get served right there. It changes things up a little but still a very enjoyable evening. The food is always delicious and service is friendly and par.

The manager was very sarcastic. unprofessional and demeaning. and this was over a $12 gift card that supposedly was from the previous owners that this management would not honor. I had no idea that this restaurant was under new management and going forward I will never step foot in the place again. The food was not like it used to be. Service was slow . The ambiance is no longer there. It's unfortunate because I would go in there with large groups of friends for dinner and listen to music. I would not recommend this restaurant anymore. It used to be one of the best Italian restaurants in the area.
