The One Italian Restaurant In Philadelphia With Pasta As Good As Grandma’s
You can’t walk a block through South Philadelphia without passing at least one Italian restaurant. In such a saturated market and in a neighborhood filled with Italians who grew up going to Nonna’s for Sunday Supper, a restaurant really has to stand out in order to stick around. Ristorante Pesto does just that. They’ve earned their reputation as the site of the best pasta in Philadelphia by getting it right every single time. If you haven’t been here yet, you’re in for a real treat.

You don't have to take my word for it - flip through nearly 200 five-star reviews on Yelp and see just how many people called their meal here the best they've ever had.
Don't forget to save room for dessert! Their cannoli is gigantic, and the cakes are definitely big enough to share.
