First time I have been here will not be the last. The food is outstanding, better than Olive Garden, IMO. The place is so popular, we were told there would be a 45 minute wait. 30 minutes later, we were seated and waited on very quickly. The spaghetti and Lasagna is great! I really enjoyed the presentation of a dessert tray, which allows you to pick out what you want and prepared for you. The waitresses are very friendly, professional and very good at what they do.

Pestos Italian Restaurant in Valparaiso has long been a place I associate with culinary satisfaction and a delightful dining atmosphere. On my most recent visit, while the overall experience was adequate, it unfortunately fell short of the high standards I've come to expect from this local favorite. Let's start with the positives. The service was a highlight of the evening, with Madison, our server, providing prompt and attentive care without being overly invasive. She struck the perfect balance, ensuring our dining experience was comfortable and our needs were swiftly met. The portion sizes at Pestos are as generous as always, offering good value for the price. The pricing remains fair, reflecting the quality and quantity of the food served. The menu boasts a commendable variety of Italian classics, including a rich array of seafood dishes which is a boon for pescatarians. Additionally, the availability of a pizza menu is a nod to those in search of a more casual dining option. However, the culinary side of the experience is where things took a turn. The appetizer sampler, typically a reliable introduction to a meal, was merely adequate this time around. The missing jalapeno and cheese filling in some of the fried ravioli was a peculiar and disappointing oversight. The calamari's toughness was another misstep, detracting from what should be a delightful start to the meal. While the marinara sauce was robust, suggesting a semi-fresh preparation, it wasn't enough to elevate the other average offerings on the plate. The Sicilian sampler, usually a hearty and flavorful main course, was overwhelmed by an excessive amount of sauce. The sauce itself was decent, but its overabundance led to a less-than-pleasant texture in the breaded veal, which quickly turned soggy. The lasagna, generally a reliable choice, lacked the expected depth of flavor. Even the basil in the ricotta seemed subdued, hinting at a lapse in the dish's freshness. The meatball soup, part of the meal accompaniments, was a redeeming feature, delivering a well-balanced and flavor-packed experience that harked back to Pestos' typical quality. My dining companion's seafood calzone was an adventurous choice that unfortunately also suffered from the pervasive saucing issue. The excessive sauce overpowered the delicate flavors of the seafood, undermining the essence of the dish. While the service and ambiance at Pestos continue to be commendable, the culinary execution on this occasion did not meet the usual standard. It's my hope that this experience was an anomaly, as Pestos has always been a restaurant I've held in high regard. I look forward to returning in the future, with the expectation that the food will once again match the excellent service and setting that Pestos is known for.
