Pescara is absolutely outstanding! From start to finish, the experience was exceptional. The service was warm, attentive, and professional and the staff made us feel genuinely welcome. The food was nothing short of amazing, each dish was just as good as the last. The crab spaghettini was a standout, perfectly balanced with fresh, delicate flavours and the barramundi was cooked to absolute perfection, tender and full of flavour. Every bite was a delight.
It was truly wonderful to enjoy such a delicious meal, one of the best we’ve ever had. You can really taste the passion and quality in every dish. We’ll definitely be back and can’t recommend Pescara highly enough, a must visit whilst at the Hunter!

Lovely place mixed with dark blue and bright wood, with Modigliani paintings on the walls. Nice service, excellent food: all the dishes were delicious no exception.

This restaurant is one of the best Italian places my family and I have ever been to. As Italians ourselves we find it hard to eat Italian out as we are often disappointed, but this experience was anything but. It was an absolute pleasure to eat every single dish. Each plate was perfectly cooked, with an incredible balance of flavour. We could not fault anything, we were completely blown away. Perfect 10/10, and a wonderful choice for my dads birthday dinner. It takes a certain level, and attention to detail to be able to produce a restaurant of this calibre. This is a testament to the team in the kitchen and Nicole and her partner. They have done an astounding job. The food was that good we had to return the next night to try more. I could not recommend Pescara enough, we can’t wait to be back. It is a must try for anyone in the hunter valley.

This is a showpiece of the Hunter valley in terms of dining experiences.
The couple who run it had a hugely popular restaurant in Mosman for years and have brought their love to the Hunter.
The setting is spacious, warm and cosy, yet elegant and stylish. It overlooks a water feature where kangaroos and birds settle.
The staff are wonderful. Warm, kind and they know the menu inside and out.
Food is diverse and includes crab pasta with chilli and garlic, sizzling prawns in a hot pot, duck leg on red cabbage and sweet sauce, beef cheek, lamb sliced on vegetables , and vegetarian options like cauliflower soup. Desserts are huge! And include crepes,brownies and a cold rhubarb crumble.
Wines are global which is a relief, so there are gorgeous Italian wines and wines from
All over Australia as well as the Hunter.
A must visit for romance or groups. Amazing.

Fabulous warm restaurant that offers high quality food and nice services. First the restaurant is so comfortable and welcoming as we got a table facing a small pond outside. The service is right on point no pushing for order more and lastly the food is very very good. The crab linguine is one of the best pasta I had so far. The taste is balance not too salty or oily and perfectly seasoned with tiny spicy ️. The scampi and market fish are spot on. The scampi dish is nicely done with right amount of garlic and butter, it was cooked perfectly.

This place is such a gem. Each dish was fabulously delicious. I came after seeing the crab spaghettini on the menu and it did not disappoint! Absolutely delicious. The service was friendly and prompt. Atmosphere of the restaurant was very comfortable and was family friendly. Can’t wait to visit again.

Not sure why this restaurant is so highly rated, especially in a place like the Hunter where there are tons of restaurants that serve seriously good food.
Me and my partner had the $85 two course menu.
“Village style Italian” sounded promising. We expected simple but hearty dishes, rustic, packed with flavour and lots of love.
What we got was mediocre at best. The fried zucchini flowers tasted weird, as if the oil was rancid. Same for the potatoes, which were deep fried, soggy and tasted off.
The rigatoni were also extremely greasy, too salty and piping hot so I burnt my mouth. The noodles were not al dented but hard and barely cooked. The duck leg was also bland and greasy and the meatballs were tough and dry while the tomato sauce lacked flavour.
Definitely not what you expect from homely Italian food. Bland, horrible food and small portions are certainly not worth $85 per person!!! It’s a ripoff!
Don’t recommend and will never go back!!

Maybe it was the wine…
After a hard day tasting wines, we did a quick search and found this place right around the corner from our accommodation.
Everything was exceptional from the bread and olive oil to the pasta (crab), to the meat dishes (lamb), to the desserts (pizette).
The waiters were very polite and had good suggestions from the menu and wine list.
The ambiance was subtle, soft and quiet… Fitting but maybe needed some music.
Highly recommended.
