Bar Pesto
The Squarespace template designed for restaurants, wine bars, cafés, and hospitality brands that want a website as memorable as the menu.
Bar Pesto Template
Warm / Editorial / Hospitality
Bar Pesto is a modern Squarespace website template inspired by the cozy atmosphere of a neighbourhood wine bar — warm lighting, thoughtful details, and the feeling that something special is happening inside.
Designed for restaurants, cafés, wine bars, and hospitality brands, this template blends editorial storytelling with practical features like menu layouts, reservations, event bookings, and private dining inquiries.
Elegant typography, layered photography, and flowing section transitions create a website that feels more like an experience than a menu.
Whether you're opening a new restaurant or refreshing your brand online, Bar Pesto gives you a polished digital presence that reflects the craft behind what you do.

From wine lists to private dining inquiries, everything has been designed to feel polished, organized, and easy for guests to navigate.
