Nice place. Our server was great! Unfortunately the food was less than impressive-“medium” filet came out rare in the middle. The salmon was seared on the outside but raw on the inside. We had to send both back for continued cooking. The Russel sprouts were mushy. The server was ice enough to comp a dessert sampler for us- which was very good

We ordered appetizers that literally came out after our meals. No apology nothing. I ordered the special and received something completely different. All the waiter did was offer to have them make what I did order but then everyone else at the table would either wait and their food would be cold or I’d eat alone.

Always have a fabulous experience at DiPescara! Their chopped salad is so delicious! I usually get the Almond Crusted Whitefish - which I love - but tonight I went with the Chicken Milanse - perfection! And their chocolate mousse cake is the best dessert ever!!! I'm picky about my chocolate desserts, and this one is my favorite!!! 😋

Service was slow and poor. Had to send back an order of onion rings as they were cold. Asked for several things that either were never brought or wren very slow in coming. I needed salad extra dressing to supplement my salad that finally came when my wife was almost done with her salad, The food which is usually excellent was in my opinion mediocre.

It was our 1st time eating at Di Pescara and will definitely go back. The cocktails are YUMMY and the food was amazing. The 5 of us all LOVED our dinners and the grilled calamari app was fantastic. We had reservations but got there super early so sitting at the bar trying the drinks was a bonus.

The menu impressed us first of all with such a great variety of offerings. But most of all, not only was the food exemplary, but the service was exceptional. Pedro was our waiter and was one of the best ever.
