Well, the month of August has been and gone, and what an ass-kicker of a month it was! The tail end of the month saw Formula 1 legend and all-round handsome devil Jenson Button doughnut his F1 car up and down Deansgate – right outside Pesto! We were all just a tad excited, so excited in fact that we put up balloons...and flags...and took pictures....and may have made a Jenson montage video! You can view it right here or in its full glory on the Pesto Italian Restaurants YouTube page. Pics are also available on our Facebook page - http://facebook.com/pestorestaurants
Now, on with September - though after the August we've had, it's going to take some beating! First up, a bit of trumpet blowing on our part; as the long-awaited (and somewhat overdue) Pesto Glasgow opening draws ever closer....
Originally set to open in August, the grand unveiling of the biggest Pesto Italian Restaurant yet, has been nudged back a few weeks to Monday the 12th of September at 12pm. While we couldn't blame you for thinking we've been so distracted by our tasty food that we've frittered away the summer dining al fresco on our Deansgate and Liverpool terraces and kicking back at the Trafford Centre – we can assure you that hasn't been the case...well, not entirely.
In short, we wanted to make sure that all three glorious floors on our new St Vincent Street site were every bit as stunning as the food and fine wines on our menu, and to do this takes time and patience, lots and lots of patience! Remember folks, patience is a virtue, and in just ten days time Pesto Glasgow will at last be open – we reckon it'll be well worth the wait!

In Manchester this September we have Tottenham jazz, blues and all round good-egg Adele bringing her latest bag of hits to the Manchester Apollo on the 16th and 17th.
If jazz and blues isn't really your cup of tea Tennessee's greatest export after Jack Daniels, Dolly Parton rolls into town on the 11th at the MEN Arena. Tickets have been sold out for some time, so you might need to employ a little creativity to blag your way into this southern spectacular.
In Liverpool this month we've got a world premiere of the exhibition Wallace and Grommit at Spaceport. The exhibition has been specifically designed for Spaceport and features a collection of crazy inventions and fascinating facts about the moon, the history of space and our solar system. This is one for the whole family and is definitely not to be missed!

Finally we head north to Glasgow, where at last the foray of Brad Pitt's upcoming zombie epic World War Z has just drawn to a close after a fortnight of A-list chaos!
The tragically short life of Celtic goal-keeping legend Johnny Thomson runs for five days this month at the city's Kings Theatre, a brilliant show for football fans and for anyone who enjoys an emotive tale steeped in melancholy. The Johnny Thomson story kicks off on Monday September 5th at the Kings Theatre and runs until Thursday the 10th September.
Our personal highlight for September in Glasgow is the Midweek Magic show at the Corinthian. Two of Scotland's most respected magicians Liam McLaughlin and Douglas Cameron present an evening of illusions, mind reading and, er, magic. Hosted in an intimate venue tickets will surely be snapped up fast at only £10 per person. There's said to be strange happenings at this event, so perhaps head to Pesto for some cocktails first to settle your nerves!
