Seafood, Italian

Casual Dining

Part of Lettuce Entertain You Restaurants

A contemporary restaurant with a concept uniquely its own, Di Pescara specializes in fresh, meticulously selected seafood, superb quality steaks, and a satisfying range of Italian specialties. The setting is modern and varied, with animated, lively dining rooms, private party rooms, and a subdued, intimate, well-stocked bar with a wine cellar.

The kitchen, supervised by chef-partner Mychael Bonner, makes the most of global resources, bringing modern touches to traditional dishes with results such as tilapia milanese with a spicy sesame-almond crust and delicate, miso-glazed black cod. A chef's braised dish of the day, frequent Alaskan king-crab specials, and featured wine discoveries (sold by the glass) add to the fun. An array of "small bites" desserts caps off your meal with guilt-free satisfaction. We know that sometimes you just want to pick up some great food to eat at home. Our menu is available for carryout and for an added touch we will bring your order curbside so you can grab and go.
