Starting with two wonderful waiters, one a beautiful young girl from Japan and the other a man who has worked there for sometime. The experience only got better. The meal was delicious as usual then we had the best dessert. Have been here before and will continue to come here. Very highly recommended.

Christmas last year we found this place and being back in Cairns at Easter went back to find it was just as good as ever. Great location, The Pier at the Marina, there is quite a number of restaurants to choose from but this one won me because of their Tuna Nicoise just what I fancied and the only restaurant... More

This is my favourite seafood restaurant in Cairns. Nice view and efficient staff. Seafood is always cooked to perfection. My husband also likes their steaks. Their tasting plates are very good value. The salmon with miso is particularly good.

Dined with my partner. I ordered the paella, which was fairly disappointing, but his dish was even worse- a prawn dish that only had 3 prawns! on a measly bit of sweet potato vege thing. Service was also fairly bad, had to ask 3 times for water for the table, and initially were seated at a table with myself seated... More

After looking at the menu online, and reading some of the reviews, we gave Pesci's a go for a family gathering. There were 17 of us and we were split into 2 table, now although both tables ordered about the same time, there was a big gap between when the tables were served their food, i.e. the one table had...

We are traveling on the QM2 and have just returned to the ship after having lunch at Pesci's. I ate the mud crab, which was THE BEST I have EVER EATEN anywhere in the world! Live from the tank, steamed and served with a choice of lemon butter, garlic and chilli sauces. A beautiful fresh salad on the side. My... More
