Pesto's Italian Restaurant

Tried all 7 of their empanadas and each one was so delicious! Pizza is great as well! I dont think I've ever ordered something that didn't taste delicious from pesto's.

This is literally a neighborhood small Italian restaurant. I've been here several times at lunchtime. Its always been good, but some reason it's very quiet in terms of customers, which I don't understand. It's nice for me - easy to get seated. But I want them to stick around! I hope other folks in the south Torrance area will check it out. Today I had the Italian sausage with spaghetti (I believe it's on the menu as "Spaghetti Sausage"). It's a slightly flat kind of spaghetti pasta, with marinara sauce, Italian sausage, bell peppers and onions. Absolutely delicious. The sausage was perfect (I'm really sensitive to too much salt, and this sausage was perfect!). My friend had the pesto with chicken. I got to sample the pasta, and it was delicious (lots of basil and butter). Please check out one of our south Torrance neighborhood Italian restaurants. I'm pretty sure it's family owned.

Sad. I was in the mood for some Italian and so decided to try a new place. Let's just say I'm never going back. The chopped Italian salad was essentially just lettuce. The meat sauce pasta was tasteless and the pasta was overcooked. The only redeeming quality was the bread and chimmichuri sauce which was warm and tasty. Otherwise, I crossed this off the list.

$16 for the smallest pizza ever with barely any toppings. We didn't pick anything off before the photo. Meat lovers? Not nearly enough to love. Service was super slow and not very helpful. It took almost an hour for our food to arrive. Bread with the garlic basil dip was yummy however no offer to refill. Got their specialty soup, can't remember the name but it's the creamed veggie soup, had no flavor at all and for 8 bucks? No thanks. My Chicken Florentine had no flavor either. The only bright spot was the shrimp pesto. I would only go back for the pesto... Maybe.

This was our first dining experience here. I told the waitress that we were in a bit of a hurry but that didn't seem to matter. Service was very slow.....(she had only 3 tables a time while we were there, so I'm don't know why the service was so slow)! I had to flag her down for things we needed and even didn't get refills for our sodas. Gave up on that. The reason I'm giving 4 stars is for the food! Everything we ate was very good, with the exception for the tomatoes they served with the mozzarella caprese..... They were hard and not ripe! Couldn't eat them. Willing to try them one more time....Hopefully service will be better!
