The food was very good. We were disappointed with our server, first one of the entrees that was brought out was incorrect and we had to wait quite a while to get our friend's order correct. There was no apology or real concern. the rest of us ended up having our dinners sort of cold because we were trying to wait for all of us to have our dinners. I ordered a club soda with lime which was never brought to the table. Then at the end our bill was mixed up with someone else's and that had to be corrected. Again no real apology or concern or offer to at least comp our desserts or the delayed meal. As my husband was going to get the car a busboy accidentally knocked my husband over causing him fall into a seat and bump into another patron. Again not much of an apology or concern.

Our meal at di Pescara was excellent! Prices were moderate, and the selection was quite good. Our server, Chastity, was great: pleasant, helpful, and efficient as well. The food was really good, especially the Caesar salad and lobster bisque. My coated flounder was very nice, and it was a treat since flounder rarely appears on any menu. My wife’s special trout entree was the highlight, with a fresh taste and perfect complementary sauce and sides. Overall a nice experience and perfect for Fridays in Lent!

Food was good. Nothing remarkable, but everything was tasty. The orchard mocktail was flavorless and not worth the cost. It was very crowded and relatively loud. Servers were very busy so our water was never refilled.

First I asked for booth there was only 1 booth taken& I was told I could only have table & at least 1 was available entire time we were ther ! We have hearing problems & can hear better in a booth! Then I was disappointed I’m my flat chicken which had tone Frozen! I can buy that & make in 5 minutes at home! No bones, no dark meat or white meat just a flat fried pancake! Had a much better dinner week before at Wildfire! My friend had & did enjoy her fish which is only thing I’d ever order there!

DiPescara is a well run restaurant that brings us back over and over. We had a reservation, which is easy to get on Open Table. When we walked in, we were seated, no waiting. We met friends who also love this place. Our waiter was friendly and engaging besides being patient, all with a smile and eye contact. We were sure he knew our order. When the food came, the conversations came to a halt. It was beautiful to look at and very delicious! We had the horseradish crusted white fish on sauteed spinach. One friend ordered the poke bowl. Our order was perfect. Honestly, we wanted to lick the plate because of the flavor. We can't wait to return. I recommend DePescara to many of my friends and they agree.

I really wanted to like DiPescara but I was disappointed, and for the following reasons- despite having reservations, we were made to wait even though there were 2 men at the Host station who could have taken us to a table, it took more than 10 minutes to get a 2nd cocktail and it came at the very end of our meal, my husband's twice baked potato was sitting too long before coming to our table (the cheese topping had solidified and was difficult to cut thru even with a steak knife), we had to ask halfway thru our meal to get our water glasses refilled, and a restaurant surcharge was added to our bill. Dining out is as much about the experience as it is about the food, and DiPescara did not live up to the high standards that I expect from a Lettuce Entertain You restaurant. I will never go back there again...
