Pescatore BYOB

Food is excellent. Wonderful selection. Servers aim to please. Never disappoints!!!

Very nice local restaurant. The portion sizes are generous (at least the ones we ordered).
Loved the desserts.

I had a group of business associates from out of town and we were all very pleased.
Great food and service, we had so much fun. Thanks to everyone that made our night..

My husband and I ate dinner there for my birthday. I ordered the stuffed clams and special bass entree and both were excellent and very filling. Portions were large and I took some home. My husband ordered the fritto mixto and the swordfish special and liked them both. He also took some of each home. It's BYO, which we like, and there was plenty of parking. Service was attentive and friendly and the atmosphere was pretty. I liked the bread toppings but would have preferred that they warm the bread.

Excellent food, service and atmosphere. Staff was warm and friendly

There's not much to add to our previous reviews - this was just another stellar experience. The pork chop (one of my favorites) is now done with a delicious mushroom sauce for the fall menu. I truly love their Milanese version, but this one will keep me happy. Octopus, catch of the day, etc were once again excellent, and the pumpkin cheesecake was fantastic - not too sweet & full of pumpkin taste! Go there & see for yourself.

Pescatore’s could easily be a five. Food is great and so was service. However, when ordering a dish that already includes asparagus. Tell me it includes asparagus. I wanted to exclude the mash potatoes and add another veggie. So, I asked about asparagus and was told there would be an upcharge. That’s ok, however I received a double order of asparagus AND mash potatoes.

I was in Philadelphia with my daughter for a mother-daughter trip and we wanted to find a great neighborhood old-school Philly Italian neighborhood restaurant near our hotel on City Ave. This place was a true gem. Our server, Brian, was amazing and made my daughter (younger, not an adult) feel incredibly special. He also welcomed us warmly as visitors from out of town. The food was incredible--she had pasta, I had seafood (their speciality) and we both shared an amazing house-made chocolate cake for dessert. From start to finish this place did not disappoint--other than the fact that it is not in my neighborhood/city for regular visits! Cannot recommend highly enough!

A fine restaurant for the neighborhood. Not a destination spot. Will return.

Very nice dinner. The fish special with spinach was excellent. The special ravioli was also quite good. The Portuguese app with squid was very good.

Anthony’s food is amazing!!! Go Eagles!!!

Good food, nice people, nice atmosphere.
Best Cesar salad ever - with crab

We were looking for a restaurant just outside of the city and found Pescatore listed with good reviews. We were not disappointed. Everything was exceptional.

Fabulous meal. Should declare price on specials. They WB were tasty and generous but priced above on menu items.

Our first time dining at Pescatore. The food was excellent. Our waiter (Ryan) was charming and the atmosphere was great. We will be back!!

Pescatore Restaurant has always been a fantastic dining experience. Love the food, ambiance and service. Highly recommend for locals and non locals to try the food. Excellent place!

Good place for a nice meal in the suburbs. Nice-sized portions and good service.

We had the prix fixed meal and the value was perfect. The linguine Pescatore was delicious, full of seafood with a tasty red sauce. I had enough leftovers for another meal. The tiramasu was the best we ever had! I can't wait to return.

Fantastic night. The Main Line needs more restaurants like this. Bravo!

This is a wonderful BYOB in Bala Cynwyd, on Bala Ave. There always seems to be free parking available after the local businesses close. The bread, with a side of pesto and fresh shavings of parmesan cheese, is always a highlight. Even though it is a seafood restaurant, Pescatore, the chicken and pasta dishes are equally delicious. The only reason I gave them less than 5 stars for service was because I was not allowed to order an appetizer while waiting for the rest of my party to arrive. Otherwise, it is a great option if you want a BYOB in Bala.

Great food, service and ambiance. Authentic Italian with a diverse menu. Don’t miss this spot but make sure to have reservations!

They surprised the birthday girl with a desert and candle.

Great meal and comfortable atmosphere.

Have eaten there several times & I am never disappointed!! Delicious!!!
One of my favorites!!

Local spot, efficient staff, excellent food including some interesting variety. BYOB makes it a great deal too

We come often, especially for the Caesar flatbread. Service can be hit or miss. Our waitress, Savannah, was terrific this evening. The Caesar salad with shrimp and crab, usu fabulous, was overdressed and vinegary and the flat bread not it’s usual Toastiness. Hopefully next time I hope it will be better. My husband liked his caprese salad and lobster franchise.

Dinner was fabulous and the service is consistently great. I loved the food

Service was almost 6 stars ⭐️ but a few small misses.

Our meal was delicious, and the service warm and friendly. Would be happy to revisit Pescatore with friends.

Always consistently good. We always have a great meal.

Second time going and will definitely be going back. Great food and excellent service.

We had a very nice anniversary meal. (probably better than the marriage has been lately :) ). IT is a very nice cozy restaurant on Bala in Bala Cynwyd. It is a neighborhood gem; to bad they can't get more things going on that street. We opted for the baked calamari with some sauce and cheese. It was a nice healthy option from the fried; and it still had a good flavor...maybe could have used some spicing up.

The Mrs. had a linguine with seafood... very plentiful and very tasty, as I just finished the leftovers before writing this. I opted for the sword fish. Biggest piece I had in my life (fish wise) and cooked perfectly for being 2 inches or more thick, on a bed of spinach and with a fabulous puttanesca sauce.

It was likely because they were not busy or maybe my luck. (it was the chefs special). We brought our own wine, no charges or that for glass service.

The bread was delicious accompanied by a pesto sauce and delicious thin flakes of parmesan.

Of course the homemade 5 layer chocolate cake capped off a much surprising excellent dining experience on the main line.

Our first time eating here. Wonderful attentive service. BYOB with a delicious meal. Would definitely return with friends!

My Wife & I have been to Pescatore three previous times and have always enjoyed the food and service. We recommended it to our friends (another couple) & went there before a show at the Mann Theater. We all ordered our meals. Our friend Robin & I ordered Bucatini Pescatore. When the food was brought to our table only three orders were brought to us. The waitress made the mistake of giving the chef only one order of Bucatini Pescatore. It took another 15 minutes for the second order to come out. The waitress apologized for the mistake & said that she would talk to the Manager. We even asked the Manager when the second order was coming out & he seemed annoyed by it. The Manager never came to our table to apologize & no reduction was made on our tab for the inconvenience.
I recognize that mistakes are made sometimes. Nevertheless it is up to the Manager to the accommodate the customers for those mistakes. The food was very good as before but we will look for another restaurant when we are in the City Ave. area

Great place for dinner, especially if you're going to the Mann Center for the Performing Arts
This is a very nice Italian BYOB - a Philly style gravy house done right - bread served with pesto and slivers of parmesan cut from a huge round, nice appetizers, fresh pasta - I had fettuccine bolognese and K had Nonna’s Sunday Supper with meatballs, Italian long hots, veal sausage and a lamb ragu! Huge portions, big flavors - we’d come back either for more pasta or the many entrees they also offered.

Excellent dinner before show at the Mann. Not from the area, chose strictly from Open Table and we were not disappointed. Terrific selections, specials and service.

Fabulous food and presentation! Service excellent! Great ambience!

My wife and I were in our 29th wedding anniversary and were running late for our reservation and thought that that would be a problem but they were very accommodating. The music selection was excellent and the food was terrific I would definitely come back

Everything is always great!

Great place and always great food!!
