Pesto was created in 2006 by owners Neil Gatt & Sara Gatt. They have been involved in hospitality since their teens building their careers around the casual dining sector. Pesto evolved from Neil and Sara's love for Italian food, but just not in traditionally large portions. Piattini quite simply means small plate in Italian, and when it comes to small dishes with big flavour, Pesto are the experts.

Definitely recommend the goats cheese and red onion pizza. The crumble dessert was not that great, a bit runny for my liking. Service was exceptional and Italian coffee never fails.

I enjoyed the atmosphere greatly, I enjoyed the drinks and I enjoyed the decor. The food was however slightly disappointing as some hot dishes got cold by the time they got to me. Wheelchair/pushchair accessible and plenty of parking available on site.

Lovely friendly staff and the food is to die for! If you're like me and like a variety of things on the menu then this is the place to come as you can order 4-5 and have them to yourself or share.
The tapas sized dishes are just great! And top quality

First time here after being recommend by a friend and we weren't disappointed, it was nice to be able to choose a few dishes and share as the portion sizes are small, almost like taster portions. All dishes were cooked to perfection, reasonably priced and desserts were amazing too. Nice friendly staff who made is feel welcome. Would recommend booking a table as it does get very busy, car park is quite big,lots of spaces round the back, nice outdoor area aswell. Looking forward to our next visit to Pesto

I like the consept of it, it's nice to be able to order 2 or 3 small meals.
Food was tasty, next time I know to order side so not just having meat with meat.
They have a great cocktail menu they should promote it more e.g. the waiter or waitress could have brought it to our attention

Friendly pub style atmosphere and pub setting, but with an extensive range of Italian food and drink at very reasonable prices - mezza style - buy several small dishes and share them between yourselves. The service was quick and very personable, always with a smile, the food was tasty, and we were given advice about dishes we didn't know, which was helpful too. It's very definitely an English pub - with very definitely and Italian undertone! Loads of parking space. Access for people with limited mobility very easy. The outside eating area was equally lovely on a warm night, and we had drinks on

Just enjoyed a take away from your Wolvey branch and it was still piping hot when we got it back home, everything was fresh, hot and delicious and felt like a real treat and like we had actually dined out. We enjoy visiting your restaurant but with the current tier system we obviously can’t. Thank you for offering a take away service, I’m sure we will make use of it a lot!
