Spent the early part of New Years Eve at this vintage Italian spot in the Ardmore area. This BYOB place is great for all occasions. Birthdays, graduations, or even an intimate date with a partner. Food- Branzino- Soup- LemoncelloFood was pretty good, but the real star of the show was the service and ambiance. Our server has intensive knowledge of the menu, and was an all around great person to talk to. Really enhanced the experience.

Delicious bring your own restaurant in the heart of Bala. The octopus salad is amazing -- as are all the seafood and fish specialties. The short ribs are wonderful on a cold evening. We prefer the main room for ambiance, but the second room is good for a larger group. The service is always attentive. Great neighborhood gem!

Location is convenient although parking is on the street. They look like they are remodeling so be prepared for some construction. The current location is relatively small as are the tables. We had a table for six, but it felt a little tight. The service was good and about average. Similarly, the food was good, but nothing that I would say was memorable nor tasted especially authentic. The meatballs were a little dry and not that tasty. The calamari was also good but the tomato based sauce was a little too much. The short ribs probably could have been slow cooked a little bit longer since it was very chewy although the risotto was very good and rich. The cheesecake was also good but somehow didn't taste very fresh and seemed to be held in the refrigerator a pretty long time. The crust was very thick and hard to break.

This is our 2nd go around with Pescatore. The vibe here is old school Italian American. This place hasn't changed one bit since it opened way back when! We had a large group for a Saturday evening and we were seated and taken care of very well and throughout the whole night. What we snagged:-Calamari -Mussels -Sunday Gravy -Veal Mia (VERY Flavorful) -Chicken Milanese Overall, the meal was great. Highly recommend checking this place out for a great meal that's BOYB. Can't catch those in Philly. Only downfall was my wife's uncooked chicken. Like WAY undercooked. Sent it back and it was fixed. They even gave us a free cannoli to apologize. Very sweet.

Our server, Morgan, was wonderful. So nice and so attentive. The food was good but very small portions. They are under new management. It was extremely hot in the restaurant and there were white plastic fans attached to the walls (very odd and not very aesthetically pleasing) that essentially blew the hot air around. It made for an uncomfortable meal.

We came to Pescatore on a Tuesday evening around 6pm without a reservation and were easily seated. They are BYOB so we brought our own wine. We started with a special that included baked stuffed clams, clams casino, and calamari. The baked clams were amazing, calamari was great, and clams casino may have been good but the style is not for me. In addition we had a burrata salad, which was well dressed with good flavor. We were surprised by the amount of greens on the flatbread but it was delicious with generous amounts of crab. The gnocchi had a wonderful texture and a rich delicious sauce. The mixed ocean grill was in an oil sauce and had a generous lobster tail and great big scallops that were expertly cooked. The meatball was pretty good, but a meatball's a meatball. Go for the seafood, it's great and the prices are definitely a good value. The staff were all very attentive and the food came out quickly. The ambiance was fairly relaxed and as the place filled up it wasn't too loud. We came with a baby and they were very accommodating!We will absolutely be back.
