Vesta is always good and service is great. My only issue was they sat us at a super small table where their was other couples seated at much bigger tables. It was a bit uncomfortable but we managed. I’ll definitely be back.

I’ve been to Vesta several times for lunch and had a great experience. Dinner was not so enjoyable. We had one of the 2 worst tables - next to the servers station - and we had a 5:30 reservation. When we walked in we were told we had a 7:00 reservation at our table so that was a little irritating. The menu had been changed and 2 of the items I was looking forward to were no longer available. My friend had a white pizza which was delicious but I ordered the lasagna and the sauce was so sweet I couldn’t eat it. I enjoy a meat lasagna but this was more meat than anything else. It was not what I was hoping for and it was a lot of money for a hunk of pasta and meat sauce. On the upside our server was excellent. I did get a pizza to go because I think appetizers and pizza are about the best things Vesta has to offer.

first of all - we were seated in the wine ceiler in the basement. we ordered - CRISPY ARTICHOKES for appetizer - the sauce was very salty could not eat that. we also ordered margherita pizza -- there was barely any sauce on the pizza and the basil Leafs were not fresh - you could see black spots on them.

Went for a New Years Eve dinner with a party of eleven people and a service dog. Despite a little confusion on the phone regarding the service dog that was resolved beautifully I would recommend this restaurant to anyone. We arrived an hour early and they were gracious enough to seat us immediately. The atmosphere was inviting and the food was delicious. The service was impeccable and we will definitely be returning. I only wish it wasn’t so far away for us or we would become regulars. Thank you so much for a memorable, enjoyable evening.

We had a double date early on New Year’s Eve - took our friends for a lovely dinner .. the food was great, the service was great, the price was about $150 more than expected, and we didn’t drink!!! But it was a nice way to end the new year ..

We had a great exit but it was loud for conversation. Food was very good only surpassed by the service. Our waiter Alejandro was attentive but not intrusive . He allowed the dining experience from drinks to appetizers to dinner to flow smoothly and evenly. He was a pleasure to deal with and I hope we left adequately compensated

Reseversations are required on weekends even though there is no mention of that on their website. The food is just ok. Party of 4 we ordered calamari which was the best thing on the table, crispy artichokes which were soggy and the avocado brushetta but the avocado was to hard to eat, not ripe. We had sausage,pepper and onion pizza which was burned and penne vodka which was not too bad. The sangria was good. Service was fast.

They have made some bad menu choices but staff executes well. For example, why would you make a delicious PEI mussel dish and line the pan with fries which become unappetizing mush 2 minutes after the waiter puts it down? The mozz in the caprese Salad was great but a massive chunk on top of a single slice of a freakishly large tomato slice is just a swing and a miss. Small, thin slices of fresh delicious tomatoes with mozzarella on top come on man. It’s pricey for a wood fired pizza joint, if they want to elevate they’ll need to make better menu choices.

Love Vesta! Food is great! We had the fig and prosciutto drizzled with honey...tender and delicious. The fried artichokes in aioli...yum. The margarita pizza hit the spot! Our host Mirna was absolutely lovely. Frank the owner truly knows how to treat his guests. Look forward to returning and thank you for a wonderful evening.

Went with my husband and two kids. Kid friendly but still upscale. The calamari was outstanding, the marinara is soo good. I also enjoyed the eggplant rollatini and shrimp/avocado salad as well. My husband was really impressed with his pappardelle bolognese and meatballs. I was pleasantly surprised they had Chamay on draft, that was a real treat! Service was great. We had a reservation and were sat right away.

Service was excellent and restaurant was surprisingly empty for a Saturday night, so was not crowded & you can eat comfortably. Had a reservation for 5 and ordered four personal pizzas (White, Piccante, Prosciutto/Arugula, Margherita) that were well-sized and just enough for our group. For drinks we ordered sparkling peach sangria and blood orange martini. Would recommended and will visit again soon.
