pesto.jpgThanks to Ristorante Pesto, South Philly Italian joints have a lot to live up to. Pesto is classy without being stuffy: simple and elegant, with twenty specials each night and Chef John Varallo’s homemade gnocchi. Don’t miss the bracciolatini (thin pieces of steak, breaded and stuffed with mozzarella, then fried) and the hot radicchio salad served with bacon and crabmeat.
