At Pesto’s, we specialize in quality. We buy organic and local when we can – we even grow some of our own herbs and vegetables! Whether it’s making our own pasta, flying in sushi-grade tuna or using locally-grown Seacat heirloom tomatoes – our dishes are held to the highest standard.
Our family recipes go back 100 years to Italy, and our commitment is to the authenticity of that dish, carried down through the generations. But we serve more than just Italian comfort food, our chef Chad Bolar has the creative vision for a contemporary spin on old classics.
For more than 18 years, Frank and Debbie Taurisano have been proud to own Pesto’s Pizza and Wine Bar. With such history in Chandler, their favorite part of owning Pesto’s is being a part of such a great community and watching it grow.
Frank grew up in the family restaurant business in New York. Debbie’s love for food and cooking has been lifelong. Their love story began when Debbie walked into Frank’s restaurant and he hired her as a server.
Together they started a little pizzeria near ASU and it grew into Pesto’s in Chandler.
And it’s not just the two of them. All 3 of their kids — Roxanne, Reid and Noah – all work at Pesto’s too!
