We had dinner at Pesi's on a quiet Sunday night as it was highly recommended in the travel brochures. We were not disappointed. Firstly, they had Peroni on tap. Great beer and served very cold (a great start to our meal). The Japanese waitress was lovely and kind. She always made sure that our water glasses were full. My partner... More

I recently dined at Pesci's restaurant and was blown away!! The service, food, wine list, ambience and overall vibe of the place was great. You can't go past the Reef Curry with a bottle of the Stella Bella white. Yum!! A really lovely way to spend a long relaxed evening by the marina. Many thanks to the team at Pecsi's... More

Lovely location, not very good food, poor service and we would have tolerated their higher priced food if it were good and the service was also better but unfortunately we could not justify it. We did read the TA reviews prior to going there and we should have paid attention to the negative ones, they were correct. We really don't... More

Love the food, love the service and in particular love the rapport that the owner Lou has with his staff and his regular clients. He is a hoot and totally irreverant. More

The only place to eat Mud Crabs especially with garlic sauce in Cairns, has the best view of the Mariner and can't leave without having a Lemonchello liqueur.. More

There are a lot of restaurants along the Pier boardwalk in Cairns, all of them probably very good but I randomly chose Pesci's and glad I did. Everything was perfect - the view overlooking the water with billowing clouds lit by the sunset, the service and best of all - the dozen Coffin Bay oysters natural and the veal scallopine.... More
