I went here with another couple on a double date with my hubby. The food was excellent and the server was great as well. Good but small menu and wine selection, of which we had three bottles! Needless to say we had a great time.

Came here for bottomless brunch with some friends. Great deal for the quality and price. The service was good and the food was amazing. I would definitely recommend checking out Vesta.

The place was small and cozy. This was such a random find - we were hungry and in the area. We sat at the bar, and we were quick to be greeted. People were all chatting amongst each other but it was pretty much a familiar vibe. I think there were some regulars. The food selection sounded yummy but unfortunately we had to wait a really long time for our entrees. We were not told what happened, and the people next to us received their food earlier even though one of them ordered the same I did and they arrived later. It was worth the wait though. The team just apologized even if we did not complain (things happen!). Both pastas were delicious and our appetizer's pesto felt incredibly fresh. Portions were also good, and their drink selection extensive to pass the time.

My friend wanted Italian and I'm a brunch girl so I found Vesta on Yelp that offered food that would satisfy both. We were immediate seated upon arrival given it was early afternoon. The place is humble and has a home feel to the place. Our waiter quickly came by and brought us a bottle of water & cups. He returned a few minutes later and took our order. The food swiftly came and it looked delicious! Given my avoidance for carbs I tried the egg calabrese with ricotta. I was delightfully surprised how good it was. The flavors blended well and the broccoli rabe and ricotta was a nice contrast with eggs. Definitely would order again. Overall great food and service. Will come back for dinner to try their Italian dishes.

4.0 stars. Friendly staff, clean establishment, good prices and authentic tasting (I think). Burrata appetizer is awesome. The pesto sauce and tomato pepper sauce with the Burrata on baguette slices is a combo that just makes sense. I think the mussels were off this evening. Our order tasted like it came straight from the Hudson River or something lol, that or maybe there wasn't enough lemon or vinegar or wine used during cooking to kill the strong ocean taste. In any case, wasn't an ideal way to start the meal lol. Branzino was absolutely perfect. Tender, juicy and crispy skin that went very well with the orzo. (orzo was kinda salty but still good). Highly recommend this dish Had three of the pastas, all solid nothing to complain about.

My boyfriend and I had a craving for pizza and a nice plate pasta, so we decided to try out Vesta. I loved the rustic ambiance, truly a hidden gem. The service was friendly and efficient. We were pleasantly surprised by the complimentary focaccia with oil--it was a nice start to our meal. For our appetizer, we went with the braised meatballs, which were delicious. We then shared the diavolo pizza and the gnocchi. The pizza, with its thin crust and the kick from the spicy maple syrup, was an instant favorite for me. I felt the gnocchi could have been seasoned a bit more, but my boyfriend loved it. Without a doubt, we'll be returning, and I highly recommend making a reservation as it tends to get busy, especially in the evenings.

I've been twice for brunch and thoroughly enjoyed it both times. I love a breakfast pizza and their's is great. Wine/beer only so no bloody marys but that's my biggest complaint. Usually it's a breeze to get a seat. Service is attentive and friendly.

I was so delighted to be able to grab an early dinner at Vesta while watching one of their wine tasting events. The ambiance and decor were so cozy and I loved the space. I was a solo diner and really appreciated how welcoming and warm the staff were! As a visitor, they made me feel like a member of the community. The bread I thought was fantastic and the gnocchi was cooked well in my opinion. The sauce had more lamb than I was expecting and I really enjoyed the dish! I wish I had room for dessert but I was so happy with my gnocchi and wine. Overall I highly recommend for you next girls night or date night, can't wait to be back!
