   The server, Brexton, was terrific as was the rest of the staff. The menu was a little misleading regarding the crab and macaroni. There was no grab in the sauce which I thought would be the case and the crab was a little small. The Chilean was outstanding as was the advocado bread appetizer. All in all very good except for the advertized special.

   I really like Pescatore because the food and service are usually terrific. However, last night was a noisy mess because of an energetic party that management should have re-located in its' banquet room but didn't.

    I’ve been to this restaurant frequently and always had an outstanding meal. However, two of the three of us last night felt our meal was not up to its usual quality. We both had dishes we’d had before - short ribs and bronzino - and for some reason we felt it wasn’t nearly as good as it used to be. The third in our party had the filet mignon special and she raved about it. I tasted hers and it was excellent

    Courteous and friendly greeting upon entering. Our server was on her game. The was well prepared and presented. I had the Veal chop and my companion had the Chilean sea bass; both being specials but were not overpriced.

    Pescatore is a pleasant BYOB with a classic menu. I enjoy the fact that the menu is not focused on tomato-based dishes but includes a wider range of choices in addition to some of the typical choices. While the food was excellent overall and would be a perfect fit for a nice bottle of wine the glassware is subpar - so keep that in mind! However, I will definitely go back looking forward to an excellent dinner.

    I booked a reservation for my sister HS graduation. My first time at this establishment and I will definitely bring more loved ones here. The environment is intimate and comfortable and all the food was good with great portion sizes. A bonus, all the workers were extremely friendly.

    A totally enjoyable evening. The service was terrific. Their signature flatbread with salad, shrimp and crab was delicious. Definitely an appetizer to share. My husband had the special - soft shell crabs and they were amazing - perfectly seasoned and prepared. The fettuccine bolognese was delicious. A BYOB to enjoy again and again

    This is an intimate spot with inviting décor. We went on a Wednesday evening and it was busy but we were greeted immediately by the hostess. Each member of the wait staff helped us throughout the evening and made the experience memorable. The food was delicious and relatively affordable.

    Our waitress was also the hostess. She was distracted and inattentive. She had a very thick accent and it was difficult to understand what she was saying. The Pescatore had no clams and the amount of seafood was much skimpier than in the past. The Brussels sprouts with my dish appeared to have been sitting around. They were discolored and not fresh. The mashed potatoes my friend was served were not tasty. We were celebrating a birthday and were disappointed in the meal. We are frequent diners here and this meal was not up to par.

    The food was very good. We have not been here since before the pandemic and were pleased to see they actually expanded, which says a lot these days. Our server Mariah was outstanding and patrons need to know that. She really made the evening in addition to the food. We will be back.

    I have been dining here since 2012 and never disappointed. This is our first time since covid. Love the vibe of a quaint byob. Our entrees were great as usual and the staff is always friendly and accomadating. I am so glad this place was able to survive the pandemic as many of my favorite spots didn't. We will be back again soon!!

    Went out to eat at Pescatore on a Tuesday evening and absolutely loved it! It wasn’t too busy & the staff was phenomenal! I had the crab stack appetizer (which is new to the menu) & couldn’t get enough of it! For dinner I had the Branzino & my friend had the Veal Chop special, both were wonderful & presented beautifully! For dessert we shared the tiramisu & cheesecake- best way to end the night! Thank you Pescatore for being such a gem in our neighborhood, we’ll be back very very soon!

    We’ve been to this local restaurant several times in the last four years (2018 to 2022). The last time must have been just before COVID, because they doubled the size of the restaurant since then. The food has always been great, but something happened this time. The food was good - Branzino was very good, but it was served like a giant pile of food on the plate. The asparagus was over cooked and the mashed potatoes were average. My wife said the same thing about her grilled octopus (which she normally loves) - it was ok. The various salads were all fine. Not sure if we’ll return - maybe they lost a key chef or something. Disappointed.

    Last time we ate at Pescatore it was amazing. This time started off poorly when they called to say they would be following a strict policy of only an hour and ten minutes at the table. That is just plain rude, especially for an expensive, usually fine restaurant! They put us in the back room which, while okay, certainly isn't nice like the main room is! (Also, their 'strict table time limit' seemed silly since there were plenty of empty tables the entire time.) Then, I ordered exactly what I had last time we were there and it was terrible!! The risotto was way overcooked and had no flavor at all - no salt. The arugula salad tasted as though the dressing was spoiled. The short ribs were....well, they were awful. It'll be awhile before we try again...yuck!
