Greatest Hits World Food Tour: Pesto

Get ready for a heartwarming evening of authentic South Philly charm! Our next stop on the World Food Tour takes us to Ristorante Pesto, a true neighborhood gem that has been serving up award-winning Italian cuisine for years. Known for their "Old World" recipes and incredible hospitality, this family-owned spot is the perfect place for our community to gather. Prepare your taste buds for some of the best handmade pasta and veal in the city!

Why You Should Join Us:
Ristorante Pesto offers a cozy, white-tablecloth experience that feels like Sunday dinner at a friend’s house. With numerous "Best of Philly" awards under their belt, their menu is a love letter to Italian tradition. From their signature Cavatelli with broccoli rabe and sausage to their famous Branzino, this is a fantastic opportunity to enjoy high-quality comfort food in an intimate setting. It’s the perfect chance to slow down, enjoy a beautiful meal, and deepen your connections with fellow Fabulous Philly Friends.

What's the Plan?
We'll be gathering at Ristorante Pesto to immerse ourselves in a feast of Italian specialties. We'll start by sharing some of their legendary appetizers before moving on to individual entrees. You can explore their menu and get a preview of the deliciousness here: https://ristorantepesto.com/

The Deets:

• BYOB: Feel free to bring your favorite bottle of Chianti, a crisp Pinot Grigio, or your preferred beer to pair with your pasta!
• Cost: We will plan to order some shared appetizers for the table to sample a variety of tastes, and then everyone can order their own entree. Please anticipate the total cost to be approximately $45-$60 per person (including tax and a 20% tip), as their high-quality ingredients reflect a slightly higher price point. Please bring cash.
• Allergies: If you have any allergies or dietary restrictions (they offer gluten-free pasta options!), please let me know as soon as you RSVP so I can inform the restaurant in advance.
• Important: I will send a confirmation message a day or two before our visit to finalize the headcount. If your plans change, please update your RSVP to "Not Going" promptly. This allows those on the waitlist to join us and helps me adjust our reservation accordingly.
• Parking: Ristorante Pesto is located at 1910 S. Broad Street. Street parking is available along Broad Street and the surrounding side streets, but it can be competitive in South Philly. Carpooling or using a ride-share service is highly recommended!

Can't wait to share a beautiful meal and even better conversation with you all! 🇮🇹🍷
