Very nice service and very good food. We were there three days in a row and have tried through. There was nothing that did not taste good.

Nous avons découvert Al Pesto en participant à la Fête du Fleuve de Saubusse, les 6 et 7 septembre 2025. La jolie terrasse nous a fait de l'oeil, l'accueil est très agréable et la cuisine à la hauteur ! Le service est impeccable et souriant. Nous recommandons chaudement cette adresse !

1ère fois que nous venons, nous habitons un village voisin. Nous avons très bien déjeuné, la patronne très agréable et bienveillante avec nos 2 filles. Pas de tiramisu aujourd'hui mais ce sera l'occasion de revenir pour y goûter . Nous recommandons ce bel endroit face à l'église du village.

Très belle expérience dans un cadre cosy et convivial. Pizza excellente, pâte maison, garniture savoureuse et sans excès de sel comme on trouve parfois. Les chipirons juste parfais avec "bien de l'ail" comme on dit ici. La gérante nous a placé au coin de la cheminée et nous avons passé une super soirée. On y retournera goûter le carpaccio du chef ou la tagliata de bœuf à l'huile de truffe et copeaux de parmesan. Grande terrasse agréable et petite salle cosy chic, pensez à réserver. Merci encore pour votre accueil et la générosité de votre cuisine

Esta pizzería nos la recomendó Julien, la persona donde alquilamos la casa en vacaciones y fue un acierto total. Las pizzas están riquísimas, estas Tex Mex y de queso de cabra. Y la chica que nos atendió muy profesional y atenta. Por ello es un sitio muy recomendable para disfrutar de la buena comida y ambiente.
