Pesto Bistro and Wine Bar was a delightful surprise! This small, quaint Italian restaurant exceeded our expectations. We had reservations around Valentine’s Day weekend, and since it was such a beautiful day, the restaurant kindly called to ask if we’d prefer dining outside with the heaters on — and even let us know a solo musician would be playing. What a thoughtful touch!
Everything was fantastic: the food was delicious, the sangria was fabulous, the music created a wonderful ambiance, and the service was attentive and friendly. A truly lovely evening and a place we can’t wait to return to.

When I go to a restaurant not only do I want good food I want good service. My husband and I were visiting from out of town and our server Rachel made us feel like we were friends. Thank you for the good recommendations (absolutely delicious) and the amazing service.

Been there a few times and the food and service are always on point.
The Chicken Piccata is my favorite with their Alfredo being a close second. The desserts are also amazing. Rich, flavorful, and definitely worth saving room for or taking to go.
I have a very mild coconut allergy but had to sneak a taste of the homemade bread pudding everyone raved about and it so worth it!
The vibe is relaxed but still feels special, and the service was friendly and attentive. One of my favorite places in Bradenton for a nice dinner and great food all around!

Rachel was a great server! Food was the best we’ve had since being in Bradenton/Cortez. Best Bruschetta we’ve ever had and wish we had room for the chocolate ganache encrusted cheesecake! Guess we’ll just have to come back to try that another time.

My husband and I had dinner here last Sunday. Our waitress, Rachel, was amazing. She was very friendly and made great food and wine recommendations. We ordered the chicken piccata and eggplant parmesan. I would recommend both. The burrata caprese appetizer was beautiful and the tiramisu in a cup is out of this world. Definitely a great spot for a romantic evening and delicious food!

In from out of town for a race in Bradentin. Had some time by myself on Christmas Eve and happened along this place. The butternut squash and zucchini soup was amazing!! my vehicle. Picado was so much that I took the rest home with me. Met some great people and started talking with a couple of ladies who convinced me to have some ice cream with them, which of course was too much so I took the rest home and mixed it in my blender with Baileys! Definitely will go back there if I get the chance when I’m in town! I sat at the bar and had a glass of wine with my dinner and it was really peaceful and friendly.

Arrived without a reservation to hear the live music while having dinner. The hostess and wait staff found a way to accommodate my request even though they were fully booked. It all worked out and I had a wonderful time!
