We visited the Pesto’s restaurant. They have some great panini sandwiches and the staff is pretty nice too.
We tried the large ice cream in a waffle cone. They allow you 3 flavors to choose for the large size. So we took chocolate, lemon and berries ice cream flavor. The ice cream was very fresh & delicious.

I love me an Italian Sammy and this one was the bomb! We went with the mirabella on focaccia and it was amazing! The pesto pasta salad was also really yummy and flavorful. Service was also really nice! The two young ladies working were very sweet!

Picked up a couple of sandwiches on a Sunday. Staff was friendly and helpful as we had never been there before. Sandwiches were nice sized and tasty. However, they do substitute breads on the sandwiches, which was a game changer for my husband. The shop was clean and had good seating for people watching. The service was a bit slow as the 2 employees worked on our 2 sandwiches while others came in and the line backed up.

The sandwiches were delicious, but they took FOR-E-VER making them. And there’s really no place to sit and eat the food inside if you have a big party. It’s mainly a grab-&-go kind of lunch spot. Not a sit down and eat a family meal.
I had the Pesto, and a Meatball sandwich… the Pesto was hands down the winner. Both were good though.

Just returned from a visit to Leavenworth and the main reason we went was the gelato!!! It was such a relief to find Pesto’s open and serving this wonderful, creamy and delicious treat. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and the gelato was divine! I had the vanilla with chocolate, and my husband tried the blood orange. If you are planning a visit to Leavenworth, don’t forget to stop at Pesto’s!

I had the Mirabella grilled panini and wow! All the ingredients are fresh and so tasty. The restaurant is very reminiscent of northern Italy and the Italian Alps. The window seats are great for people watching and the service is top notch. It’s the new favorite locals lunch spot in town
