Went here for a pizza with friends tonight. There was no service at the door. Got told to sit down after standing around for a while. Received no service at the table. Had to ask for water after waiting a while. The place was dim and dingy. Didn’t have all items on their menu. Pizza was ok but didn’t come out with all the ingredients stated would’ve been nice to know prior. Finally when paying, the old lady behind the counter chucked our change instead of handing it over. Rude and underwhelming.
I find it hard to capture in words what is so special about this place. It isn't something you can put in a box, franchise, and resell. It is so distinctly unique I try to bring as many people as I can to eat here. The food is how we love it. The simplicity of a margarita, the delight of a bolognaise, the atmosphere and banter of a family preparing your meal. Family. That is the word. Nonna prepares the sauces, the matriarch cooks the pizzas, nieces and nephews run the floor. And again, the food. We drive quite a distance to eat at Al Pesto. My children request it over any of the places I've taken them. It saddens me that they won't be open forever, my children's children don't get to eat hand cooked pizza dough from this beautiful group. Alas that's life, and Al Pesto is one of the best slices of it.
A great traditional pizza and pasta place. Don't expect to be waited on, what you see is what you get. Ally the owner is strait out and will say it how it is, the atmosphere in the restaurant is more like a big family, that's why people have been going to this place for years.
Went in after eating microwave meals for a week desperate for something fresh, but went into ask for a menu to order later, Nonna stared, younger girl simply replied 'nah, take a photo of the window, you got a phone? Actually I didn't, it was on charge at the accommodation, really just the attitude did it for me, from a lot of travel, poor attitude from staff often leads to a hit and miss meal. Good hospitality and good food go hand in hand, On this occasion, you knew whatever you bought would have no heart, which is what 'Good' Italian food is all about.
Food took an hour after ordering to be served. In the meantime the amount of smoke that filled the room each time they took a pizza out stank the place up and made my eyes water. Ventilation was terrible. The food was edible but ultimately the same flavour, texture and appeal as melted cheese on bread, with an overly generous coating of salt, and half burnt. Would not recommend.
Nice people and service was as minimally expected. Pizza was not cooked well. Dough was still raw. I was told the pasta was good but I did not try myself.
What can I say place is run down , the worst service ive seen to date we sat down basically felt like we where in edge there as it felt like the owners or whoever behind counter wanted us out as it looked as though they wanted an easy night. They didn't even offer us water i asked for oysters told no fish well decided ravioli and a pizza, pizza came out burnt on edges raw in middle mate started to get sick ravioli well it tasted shithouse like frozen tasteless watery soup and that it was frozen back of the fridge probably for two years i won't be coming back to eat here again .
Honesty can’t recommend. Waited 50mins for takeaway pasta just to get it home and find it was claggy and tasteless. The cook was very friendly and I was discounted $2 but that doesn’t really make up for it. I’ve only been there once and this might have just been a bad day but I doubt I’ll go back.
Born in the 60ys this is for you, love really beautiful Italian sauces this is for you, remember when milk was 4 cents a pint this is for you remember when Melbourne had real people this is for you . I have through my business traveled the world business and 1st class, I have been blessed with dinning at some of the most famous eating houses in the world and these 2 ladies Mother and Daughter son and grandson in a back street of Laverton rate in my top 5. We ordered 2 x 3 combination dishes and a garlic herb Pizza bread. Sea food was to die for anti pasto was seductive the tortellini homely and left wanting for more. I ate in Lygon st on Saturday night and left $500 poorer and sad I left Al Pesto in dare I say it Laverton 4 people and $85 dollars richer for the experience This Building and its decor are wonderfully old, The clients and family are a lost reminder of real Victorian Culture hard working community minded caring Individuals. The building floats from Australian to Italian with perfect notation and character well worth the moment. Gerry from Toorak
