    The lobster roll (Manhattan-style) with butter was fantastic. Ditto the shrimp tacos. Our 6pm reservation had at least six tables with pre-K kids but that wasn't an issue. Highly recommend.

    We were able to get to Di Pescara in time for the Supper Club - which is such a fantastic deal. The food was delicious, as usual....love the almond crusted whitefish. And the chopped salad. And the peppermint ice cream with fudge sauce! We had a 5 year old birthday girl, who wasn't sure she wanted to be there. Our wait person was so patient and kind. She really helped make the evening!

    We had a party of 6, with most of us having a wonderful meal. We shared a delicious burrata for appetizers and profiteroles for dessert. I had the cod with mushrooms and spinach which was delicious. My husband enjoyed the shrimp scampi which was not really a classic scampi, as it was with a tomato based sauce, but it was very good. The salads had a bit too much dressing, so if you don't like that, be sure to ask for dressing on the side.
