Pesto is an Italian restaurants that serves small plates of Italian dishes - a little bit like Tapas. There are a few Pesto's around the country but we tried one close to us in Marton, Macclesfield.
On arrival we were greeted by the hostess. The restaurant was not too busy so we had the choice of tables. After being seated the waitress was efficient in taking drinks orders and then gave us time to look through the menu. The menu consists of some recognisable dishes and some that we had never heard of before. We chose 4 small main dishes: Italian Sausage, Chicken Thighs, Rustic Pizza and a chicken Pasta and 3 sides: Caesar side, Roasted Potatoes and Garlic Bread.
As the restaurant was not busy the food took about 15 minutes to reach us. The husband and I shared al the dishes between us and we were both impressed with flavour. Everything was cooked perfectly and, although it took us about 30 minutes to eat, it did not go cold. The only dish that we were disappointed in was the potatoes as they were not what we had expected. These felt and tasted like they were from a bag of frozen potato cubes that you get at the local super market.
After we had finished, the plates were quickly cleared away and we were asked if we would like desserts. We ordered two coffees, an ice cream and a lesson mouse tart.
Both were absolutely delicious. The ice cream was creamy and the lemon tart was tangy and smooth.
Overall including, a bottle of water, a Becks Blue and a soft drink the bill came to £49 which we thought was pretty reasonable and about average for a meal for two.
Would we go again... Yes and we would definitely take Titch too as he also loves Italian food.
