Absolutely fabulous as always! The service and food are both notable and outstanding every single time!! Jen, the owner never fails to stop by the table to make sure everything is perfect!

My husband and I made reservations at Pescara for my birthday. We also doctor at Mayo and we love trying new dining places in the area that people have recommended to us. We were treated with great service right when we walked in the door to the time we left. Our waiter was very helpful in finding a dish that we would like and he nailed it! Both our dinner choices were amazing. We both ordered dessert because it was my birthday and the waiter even placed a candle on my choice to make it extra special. Great place for conversation and feeling relaxed after a long Mayo visit. You will not be disappointed in Pescara...go check it out. More

Discover Rochester
Rochester, Minnesota, is a welcoming community and home of the Plummer House, which features a quarry, water tower, gardens and a large event facility. To start your day, visit one of the many coffee shops or bakeries in Rochester and try a cafe au lait or bold-roasted coffee and pair it with a biscotti, apple fritter or Berliner doughnut filled with fruit preserves. Swedish food is a popular type of cuisine in Rochester, reflecting many city residents' historic Scandinavian roots. Swedish meatballs paired with mashed potatoes, gravy, pickles and lingonberry jam is a traditional meal to enjoy at one of the family-owned and operated restaurants. Herring is also a favorite local specialty. You could try it pickled, which is the traditional Swedish way, or have it fermented with boiled potatoes and cabbage.
