We tried the Foccacia, the Meatballs and the Calamari for appetizers. All were wonderful, but the meatballs are to die for! My son had Alfredo with Chicken, and they allowed him to swap penne for fettuccini. All the pasta is homemade and delicious! His friend had Chicken Francese and they allowed him to swap the polenta for linguini. And I had the Snapper Piccata as a recommendation from our server….it was amazing! I would have loved to try dessert but we could barely walk out of the place we were all so full. We are visiting during the holidays and they had a nicely decorated Christmas tree in the dining room, which made us feel at home. If you’re expecting an open-air environment like so many places are in St. Thomas, this isn’t like that. It’s more of an upscale but comfortable vibe and the A/C is effective, so you may want a light sweater or jacket. What made the experience even better than the food and the ambience, was the service. It was apparent that everyone there wanted us to enjoy ourselves and went above and beyond to make that happen. We loved Pesce so much we plan to return before we depart to go home.

Being in St. Thomas the week of our anniversary, my wife and I decided on Pesce as a break from the normal beach fare. We are so glad we did! The food and the service were both outstanding. Our server, Kiki, was perfectly attentive and offered great recommendations and was even accommodating to some special, off the menu order my wife presented to her. Most importantly, the food was very good. We started with the classic bruschetta, and were not disappointed. My wife ordered the primavera with shrimp and had them make it with a red sauce as opposed to the light cream sauce noted on the menu and it turned out great. I had the carbonara - quite frankly, it was the best carbonara I have had outside of Rome. This place is well worth the nearly five star rating it has. Highly recommend.
