The Scene
Pescatore is really two restaurants sharing a common menu and kitchen. The first has a more formal feel with tablecloths, gilded mirrors and red velvet banquettes. At its counterpart one door uptown, a downtown decor of brick walls, wooden tables and sexy amber lighting attracts a younger set.
The Food
The Italian menu has almost-limitless variations on staple dishes, creating an offering that rivals a Chinese restaurant in its vast number of choices. The most pleasing dishes are often the most simple, like the beef carpaccio with Parmesan, pizza bianca and toothsome osso buco. Whatever you order, be sure to come hungry, as doggy bags seem to be the norm. But do save room for homemade ricotta cheesecake or tiramisu, both of which are very compelling.

I had a bridal shower for my daughter on 5/3/08. Pescatore was truly an amazing place to celebrate this very special occasion. The service, food, drinks, etc. could not have been better. All the guests were so thrilled with their great food and service. The staff was extremely helpful, even helping us load gifts in and out of our vehicle. I highly recommend Pescatore for a private party event. Manager Charlesand staff helped us have a very memorable day! We can't wait to return for another great meal!

I found out about Pescatore about a year ago, and I've been a loyal customer ever since. The servers are very friendly, knowledgeable, and accomodating. I have never had a bad experience here. Their selection of appetizers, pastas, and fish is great and their food is always fresh. Their dishes are very natural and not over-done, with just the right amount of seasonings and garnishings. Granted, this place is not exactly what I would call cheap, but you do get some great food for the price. Oh, and their tiramisu is heavenly.

We were planning to go to a sushi place tonight and it was closed. As we walked along 2nd avenue we found Pescatore because of the crowded outdoor seating and interesting seafood menu. We were greeted by a pleasant hostess who surprisngly sat us immediately. The service was prompt and friendly and the food was amazing with great portions and a creative menu. Our entrees included shark fillet and an abundance of fresh seafood such as: Lobster, prawns, swordfish, mussells and scallops. The sorbet dessert was a great way to cap off the meal. The presentation was creative as the mango sorbet was presented in a mango shell. Reasonable prices, attentive friendly staff and a great low key location on 2nd avenue.
