"Auntie Pestos was really good and quaint. We had an excellent meal! Mussels and fries to start and the mussels were some of the best I’ve had!
Then we each had a pasta (half order) and I couldn’t even make a dent in it!
I would definitely go again! The staff was super kind and our server even made us a delicious mocktail because we don’t drink!"
