A review of “PESTO” a new Italian restaurant in Farmington!

It s with mixed emotions that I review this new Italian restaurant where the establishment SUGO was once located. I went to SUGO only once for dinner and never returned. The service was as bad as the food. Let me describe my experience this evening at 6:PM with PESTO.

The place was full and we got the last parking space available. We were sat quickly at a booth and Bruno, our server came to take our drink order and dinner order. The side salad was a very nice portion and contained fresh leaves and uncooked vegetables. Fortunately, although very crowded, the atmosphere was not noisy and we could converse easily.

I placed an order for one of my favorite dishes fra diavolo with shrimp. Our dinners soon came but my dish was devoid of any shrimp. Since my server was nowhere to be found, I requested the help of two other severs and started to eat the fra diavolo dish which was amazingly wonderful. Our server showed up and asked if I still wanted the shrimp after I had finished a good portion of my dinner. I responded in the affirmative and after he returned in a while, managed to eat one shrimp and took the remaining dish home. When we ordered tiramisu for desert he returned to inform us that at 6:30, on a Friday evening they had run out of that item, so we paid and soon left.

I would call this service very poor but the food was exceptionally good and the portions were generous. In a finer restaurant they would have not charged me for my meal. We will definitely return to Pesto and hopefully their service staff will improve in the future.
