  • My experience at Auntie Pestos was amazing. We had emailed to get a reservation and as soon as we arrived staff were so friendly. We went on a Sunday night off season and it was busy so reservations probably a good idea. The food though is the highlight. This is the best meal that comes to memory and I’ll certainly be back every single time I’m on the island. We started with the Chili Prawns. Best prawn marinade I’ve had. I got the Alberta Beef tenderloin with blue cheese it was incredible and my wife got the halibut which she also loved!

  • Stopped by for my parents 50th anniversary this evening. Surprisingly being a regular on the island for 30 plus years this was our first time here. Meals were delicious the drinks were amazing but most of all the staff was on top of every thing and made our experience a perfect evening. We will be back

  • We had the most wonderful evening at this restaurant — everything from the food to the service to the setting was exceptional. Reservations recommended!! Our servers, Jana and Elliotte, were incredible — so friendly, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. They made us feel completely welcome and taken care of throughout the night. We started with a few shared dishes — the Beef Carpaccio, Saganaki Cheese, Foie Gras and Pickled Beets — each one perfectly prepared and bursting with flavor. The Seared Scallop Entrée was a standout as well: fresh, beautifully cooked, and elegantly plated. We paired everything with a crisp glass of Oyster Bay Sauvignon Blanc, which complemented the dishes perfectly. We sat outside on the lovely deck overlooking the marina and the ocean — such a peaceful and beautiful setting. Great food, and amazing service made for a truly memorable night. Life is good—100% recommend — can’t wait to come back.

  • Hands down one of the best, if not the best restaurant in BC. The flavours are so unique and everything was cooked to perfection. Star dishes: Ravioli and Rack of Lamb Never had had a ravioli taste so unique and delicious anywhere. Rack of lamb was cooked to medium rare as requested, every single bite was consistently delicious. Alberta Beef Tenderloin was also consistently tender with every bite, no stringy tendons. Paired with a red, and it’s Devine. Definitely coming back to Salt Spring again just for Auntie Pesto’s!!

  • The lamb rack was unbelievably good. Generous portions and good quality all around. Friendly service and a pleasant homey atmosphere. We are told that Auntie Pesto’s has been on Saltspring for 21 years, and they have clearly figured out how to provide an excellent dining experience.

  • The food was exceptional, the atmosphere was delightful, and the service was top-notch. We had a reservation on the patio, where I enjoyed the incredible flat puff pastry leek and mushroom Tartine—absolutely out of this world. The three of us shared a bottle of wine, savoring every moment of our last night on the island. Auntie Pesto’s truly made the evening unforgettable in the best way. Thank you to all the staff, Rose H

  • Some of the best Italian food I have ever had! The outdoor seating area was beautiful, there were a couple propane fireplaces for warmth. On special were Mussels and they were cooked perfectly. Don't normally have 2 appies but the other special was wrapped Brie which was also delicious! Can't wait to go back!
