| - Go for the burger. No, seriously.
Pizza at Pesto's was a tradition in my wife's family for years, but they eventually moved away from going regularly because the pizza is really very expensive - about $30 for a large specialty pie! And this isn't a 24 inch one either.
Recently we went back for dinner, but most of us ordered pasta dishes instead. The stuffed shells were very good, as was the mushroom ravioli. But for me the star of the evening was their Italian Burger.
This burger is a work of art. It is easily in the top three burgers I have ever had in my life, and it certainly is the most unique. It is a half pound burger, cooked to order, that is served on a custom roll, along with ricotta cheese, pancetta, an onion jam, and topped with arugula. The evening I got it it came with a side of truffle fries instead of tater tots. You know how some things in life are so much better than the sum of their parts? This burger is one of those things. It can be described to you, but until you experience it you really don't get it. Pesto's should be entering this in Valley wide burger competitions - it really is that good.
I originally felt like a bit of a rube ordering a burger when I went to an Italian restaurant, but when it was served any reservations I had quickly evaporated.
