Stopped by to celebrate my mother’s birthday and the entire visit was amazing! Plenty of parking, including a good amount of handicapped spots, no long line on a Sunday evening, clean look with professional team. Our reservation was ready for us even though we’d shown up a touch early, our waitress was a sweet younger woman with black hair neatly tucked back- respectful, patient, and observant. She did a wonderful job keeping our drinks filled and making sure we enjoyed our experience. A model employee, everyone seemed well trained and guest forward. Our soup and salad orders arrived at the perfect time, then our meals were delivered in the same fashion- everything was delicious! My creamy pesto tortellini was absolutely divine and I adored the pine nuts mixed in, the serving size was great as well! Overall a good visit and for the level of service I would say well worth the price.

We love Pesto’s but not quite five stars. We went on a midday Tuesday and they were still quite busy. Good for them. Thankful for the lunch portion of the famous vodka chicken. Our server was generous with the bread. The side salads could have been more generous. In total, about $109 for 5 people including tip. We didn’t get appetizers, special drinks, or dessert.

Love coming to Pesto’s! The food and service are outstanding every single time. They beat the pants off other Italian Restaurants in the area. Really loved the buffet they offered before COVID. 10/10 recommend them to family and friends!

Delicious food that gives very generous portions. You will definitely have some for take home. Service was great and attentive. Atmosphere was cozy despite it being busy. It’s a nice quick place to come grab a bite!

We had a great lunch. It’s basically Italian food from the 80s. Think penne Alla vodka sauce, shrimp dejonge etc.
And I mean that in the best of ways. It is not the old old school red sauce Italian spaghetti and meatballs and it’s not modern-day contemporary Italian. Everything was super flavorful. The macadamia nut chicken had a flavorful sauce made with roasted red peppers and cream. I had the halibut that came with seared scallops.
We had turtle cheesecake and creme brulee for dessert. Nice environment and our server was friendly, attentive and professional . I would go back 100 percent.
Also the prices were not insane.

My group held a meeting at this restaurant. The salads and pizza were very good! The people who ordered cocktails were pleased with their concoctions. The place has a warm ambiance, cozy and relaxing. There is off-street parking, and it is handicapped accessible. I would go here to order pizza again.

It was very nice! Pork chop was delicious! The waitress was very nice. Christmas atmosphere was peak. Has a giant Christmas tree! I hate asparagus but it was so good there and I loved it + best mashed potatoes I have ever eaten! And mash potatoes are one of my favorite foods! I also got a salad with my pork chop and they serve us bread with a really good sauce.

Went on Valentines Day, was told about an hour wait, gave them my phone number and was going to get a call when my table was ready. They had a cancellation and my table was ready in 15 minutes, not bad for 4PM on a Saturday during V-Day. Food was absolutely delicious, good portions, service was great. It was very busy but they were 100% on top of things, can’t wait to go back.

Pesto’s Italian Restaurant in Valparaiso is an absolute gem! From the moment we walked in, the warm atmosphere and friendly staff made us feel right at home. But the real star of the night was the sea bass—perfectly cooked, tender, and full of flavor. It was hands down one of the best seafood dishes I’ve ever had.
And don’t even get me started on the breadsticks—crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and served with the most delicious Alfredo dipping sauce. Honestly, they were the best breadsticks I’ve ever eaten. Every bite was heavenly.
If you’re anywhere near Valpo, do yourself a favor and make a reservation at Pesto’s. This place is a must-visit for Italian food lovers!
