Amazing Amazing Amazing!!! Service Selection and value Had a great experience it this wonderful store read more

I had an amazing experience at this store--without having ever stepped foot in it! As a personal stylist, I typically join my clients on shopping excursions. However, when I was recovering from a recent back surgery, I was unable to go. My client was looking for a new suit for a family vacation. I coordinated with the owner, Shahlla, to create an amazing shopping experience for my client. Shahlla pulled some great options based on our conversation and my client came away with more than she expected! I was so relieved. Bathing suit shopping can be tricky, but I will certainly recommend Pesca Boutique for all my clients! read more

Celebrate this summer with a trip to one of the longest leading swimwear boutiques in the city, Pesca Boutique. Since opening in 1979, this teeny-tiny store has packed its walls with one-pieces and bikinis displayed by color. Prices range from $89-300 in all cuts and colors. Brands such as Chio, Cosabella, Gottex, La Perla, Odabash, OndadeMar, Unimar, Trina Turk, Vitamin A, and Vix can be found, with Beach Bunny making the most popular two-piece bikinis. Lacy string bikini options can be found along with shape-contouring one-pieces in vibrant neons to staple neutrals. The friendly owner is happy to help you mix-and-match patterns to create your own individual look. Even though the primary Pesca Boutique remains in its original location for the past 30 years, a larger second location is open around the corner. It's definitely worth visiting both because different swimwear can be found at each. The 2nd Ave location has ample room to display an array of flip-flops, bags, beach dresses and tops from $50-$200. I would recommend checking out the top rack of sale swimwear where if you find your size you can get a great deal. Featured June 2009 - The Boutique of the Week read more

By far the most bodacious bikini boutique you will EVER come across in your lifetime. Clearly, this fabulous shop has one goal and one goal only: to immerse their clients in the most chic swimwear on the market. Customer service is attentive and helpful. Although I do not reside in Manhattan, I always take the time out to travel to Pesca Boutique every summer for a new piece of swimwear that I ALWAYS look forward to showing off. Don't waste your time or money at other establishments; come to Pesca Boutique and indulge yourself in a piece of swimwear that will draw envy anywhere you wear it. read more

Very nice selection of suits. Italian, Brazilian, Colombian, etc. Plan to spend between $120-300 on each. Unfortunately, the pushy hard sell left a bad taste in my mouth. I won't be returning. read more

Terrible and unsympathetic/unfair associate. I purchased a dress online, and when it arrived, I noticed dirt all along the bottom of the dress. Clearly, it had been worn before or returned. I had called to see about what can be done, and they said "no one has ever called about this before" and that I can call the buyer directly. However, in calling the 244 E. 60th location, the woman told me it, and all orders, are shipped out of the 1151A 2nd Avenue store location (not the buyer). Moreover, the item, a Blue Life brand, was sent in a JUST CAVALLI bag, furthering the point that it wasn't shipped from a 3rd party. In any event, I paid full price for a worn item, and I was simply told to email the buyer which was to an AOL account address (doesn't sound professional) to possibly get a discount as I had inquired (although she said doubtful but that I "can try"). Oh, she also told me to just "wash it". Seriously? I shouldn't need to wash a new, retail-priced item--it should be NEW. Buyer Beware. read more

Shahlla was absolutely amazing. She spent two + hours helping me pick out the right bathing suit, and giving me honest constructive feedback. She wasn't afraid to tell me something didn't look good and she gave me ideas on how to mix and match my suits. Pesca has a ton of variety - more than what you see on the racks (she kept bringing suits out of the basket for me to try on!). This was better than shopping at Bloomingdales or Macy's. And the customer service was impeccable. I will definitely come back here to shop for my next bikini. read more

Pesca Boutique - Much more variety in the shop! - Women's Clothing Near Me - New York, New York

The sales lady was very helpful and pulled several bathing suits for me to try ok. Large selection and I ended up finding a suit I love. I'll be coming here again! I gave the place four stars because I waited outside for about 15 minutes for the sales women to return during business hours. read more

Theresa knows what she's talking about when it comes to bikinis. This is a too go spot if you don't want a Ordinary bikini and willing to spend the extra $$$ for something luxury, sexy and long lasting. Also, Only place in Manhattan to find Luli Fama. read more

Pesca Pesca Pesca! I found the best swimwear here. Teresa truly knows Swimwear from the inside out. The service couldn't have been better and I found a swimsuit that I not only feel gorgeous in but is a unique piece that I wouldn't find at a regular department shop. Thank you for a great shopping experience. I will definitely be coming back soon. read more

Love the bathing suits here. However, HORRIBLE customer service. The owner, Theresa, is very nice, has great bathing suits, and is super helpful..... but she didn't open her store until 1:15 when it was supposed to open at 11. I was waiting for 2 hours and 15 minutes. The worst part was she was unapologetic. Her mom kept trying to get ahold of her and she didn't answer. I mean ... you own a store- totally unacceptable. She didn't think it was a big deal- said a quick, "I'm sorry." I would have felt so bad doing that to someone. Gave me a small discount- nothing special. She totally ruined my day (with my newborn child in tow I might add). Maybe she should hire someone else to open the store or make it by appointment only before 1 pm because I know people have been complaining about this on yelp before. read more

Love the swimsuit selection but DO NOT plan to arrive at the store until about 1PM because they are rarely open at 11AM. I would absolutely shop there again and thought the two owners (mother and daughter team) were great about finding me suits that fit my style once I described what I was looking for. However, they simply do not keep to the store's opening hours as listed so call first and make sure they are there. And yes, these are pricey boutique swimsuits so you will be paying for the quality and style selection. As long as you keep those two things in mind, you'll be a happy shopper! read more

My boyfriend and I planned a last minute trip to Jamaica. We were leaving the next day, and I didn't have a single bathing suit or cover up to take with me. We live in CT and had a 2:03 flight out of JFK, so I decided that we would leave early as go to the city first so that I could go to Pesca and buy a few bikinis and coverups. We left our home at 9:30 am, so that we would be at the store when it opened 11 am. That would have given me an hour or so to shop and get what I needed, then we could leave there and head straight to the airport to catch our flight. I was so excited about it because I heard that Pesca has some of the cutest and trendiest swimwear and that they carry cup-sized bikini tops (which I need and are not easy to find), so I was definitely looking forward to it. We got to the store around 10:45 am and waited for 11. A few minutes after 11, the store still wasn't opened, so I decided to walk around the corner to the other Pesca boutique, but it wasn't opened either (both stores are supposed to open at 11). At about 11:20, I decided to call the store's number. There was no answer but a voice mailbox came on stating the store hours (11am) and gave me the opportunity to leave a message, but the voice mailbox was full. So I called then number for the other store around the corner, and it just rang and rang with no answer or voice mailbox. I walked back and forth between the two stores just hoping that one would open while I was at the other, and I continued calling both stores several times, but nothing. At 11:52, my boyfriend said we couldn't wait any longer and needed to get to the airport. So in the end, I wasted 2.5 hours going out of my way to go to this place, and I had to leave for Jamaica without a bathing suit, and ended up paying way too much for a cheap bikini in a travel shop. The styles and size options that Pesca offers is exactly what I was/am looking for, so I most likely would have shopped with them every time I needed something new. Needless to say, super disappointing. read more

Great store with excellent selection. This is my go to shop for bathing suits and beachwear.

Overpriced, poorly run pair of boutiques. They have a decent selection of suits but they are incredibly expensive for basic swim wear (some of the suits look like ones I similarly have purchased from target or asos) that may run you over $200. The only reason I actually purchased something from here was because I was given a gift certificate. In terms of being poorly run, on Saturday when the stores were supposed to be open at 11 were open at 145 because hey we're running late. One Sunday the location that was supposed to be open was closed. There was a sign on the window saying to call (which I did) and no answer. I will say the staff is nice, but you will get more for your money for quality at any other department store, etc read more

Ahhhh! Where do I begin? I used to hate bathing suit shopping until I went to Pesca. I've never felt confident in one. Teresa and her team found the right suit for my body and gave me confidence to rock it. I actually felt sexy for the first time. I'm so grateful to their amazing staff. I've been shopping here for 10 years and I never looked back. Love this store. This is the way retail stores should be. If you're going on vacation, this is the only store you should visit. It's my go to before every trip. Thank you Pesca! read more

This is my go to place when I need a gift for my girlfriend. Great selection and sales associates that somehow always know what will fit and look good on her. We also stop by to pick up something new before every vacation for the both of us and we are never disappointed. read more

Large selection of designer and international swim suits. Sales associate is a little pushy but willing to bargain. It's best if you go with an idea of what you want read more

On the surface, it looks small and disorderly, but if you are looking for a suit that fits well, this doesn't matter because the staff there is INCREDIBLY knowledgeable about what you want. Truth be told, I didn't even know what I wanted, and this magical girl handed me a top and a bottom that FIT immediately and made me feel great. Still have no idea how as that has happened exactly 0 other times in my swimsuit shopping life. The suits are definitely expensive, but the quality is obvious. Will definitely be back after I save money for another! read more

My wife and I stumbled into this tiny little spot on 60th st. My oh my there has never been more truth to the saying "Big things come in small packages" or stores for that matter. As a Florida resident, it seemed a bit odd to shop for swimwear in NYC but man, this place has one of the most extensive range of designers I have ever seen under one roof. But better than the selection, the staff is quite professional. After my wife tried on the second suit, they had her style pegged. I was surfing their website, which is awesome, and pointing to suits I liked. They immediately knew if the cup or bottoms would work with my wife's build. It was something to behold. Very impressive. After a bit of that, they were selecting suits that matched her figure and colors that suited her to a T. I guess being in business for over 30 years has its merits. read more

Nice place with decent selection. My wife was able to get something nice for our Thailand trip. The only thing they're missing were some nice wraps for her to wear. Would definitely go back though. read more

Rude sales associate. You have to be buzzed in and she left me standing outside for a solid minute for no reason. She also conveniently forgot that I was in the fitting room and walked in on me. Uh, I was the only customer at the store. read more

I live on the Upper East Side and never noticed this little gem. IThe assortment of swimwear and resort wear was beautiful. The store is impeccable. Jessica the sales girl was a sweetheart. I was searching for a particular kaftan she went above and beyond to try to locate the item. Alas, I purchased a different one but it was so nice that she went that extra mile. The best assortment of swimwear hands down!!!! read more

Bad news company. They advertise falsely. The Naila Ikat jumpsuit I received was not 100% silk as stated on their website. It is polyester and it says so on the tag. I paid $25.00 express shipping and my package had to be picked up at the post office because there was $7.10 POSTAGE DUE!!! I talked to the "manager" and she assured me she would refund everything including return postage. Well, I am here posting because she has not returned my calls and refuses now to refund the excess postage and the return postage! Now when I call, she says the manager isn't in...Convenient.. read more

One of my favorite stores. What a selection! And honestly, the price is just right . It's clear the owner has style

A great collection of every type of swim wear. Great material, very high quality and the service was amazing. It is a small boutique but with endless options and the owner is more than happy to help and help and help you sort through so many amazing swim suits and cover ups. I am going to Miami this weekend and with it still being so cold in NYC I was afraid I wouldn't be able to find anything but I was wrong, this place is the crime of the crop! read more

This review is for my online shopping experience. Pesca Boutique has a fairly good selection from which to choose. My bathing suit arrived in about a week. I was surprised at how much the shipping cost - $15 especially when I received the package and saw the USPS Priority Mail packing label that shipping cost the seller a mere $7.95. I realize that the additional costs could be for quality control and packaging, but my order wasn't even right. I received the wrong bathing suit bottom. It still matches the suit but rather than a side tie; it's a regular bottom. I will likely keep it because it fits, but it's still the WRONG item. read more

I generally only post on yelp when i'm extremely happy, or extremely unhappy with an experience. In this case, you can tell by my star rating...that this is as good as it gets. If you dread bikini shopping like I do, come to Pesca and that will change. The ladies are all eager to help you find the right suit for for your body. They have a great selection as well. Some of the suits are a bit pricey, but it's worth it if you feel comfortable on the beach or at the pool!! Overall, the service is amazing...I even called ahead to ask a few questions and the women spent almost 10 minutes on the phone with me making recommendations, and checking to see what they had in stock to ensure it would be worth my time to come in that day. Thank you ladies of Pesca!!! See you next season :) read more

I had been looking EVERYWHERE for a specific Melissa Odabash bathing suit bikini bottom in my size. I finally found it on Pesca Boutique's website. I already had the top but was just looking for the matching bottoms. Online I could only order the set so I decided to send them an email to see if there was anything they could do. They emailed me back so quickly and were willing to accommodate me! So helpful and great customer service! I highly recommend. I can't wait to receive the bathing suit! read more

HOW DO YOU REVIEW WITH NEGATIVE STARS? DO NOT DEAL WITH THIS "COMPANY". I have never posted a review of anything on YELP, but to counter the ones posted as being positive....I had to. The posted reviews must be from the one girl running the "company" as this is NOT a reputable company by any means. It is one girl running a business out of her nyc studio apartment. I am in the process of disputing my swimsuit charge with AMEX since "they" sent the wrong size and after returning it to her, it has not been credited. Email and phone calls are not being returned. I detest theft and this girl is a thief. read more

Do not shop online with this company! They lie about their return policy! I mailed back my return, and e keep on sending it back to me "return to sender". They don't answer their phone or email either. Bad customer service. Do not buy online here. read more

I loved shopping here. Shahlla was lovely and helpful. The swimsuit I bought is the best I have ever owned. It looks great and it's super comfortable. read more

I'm the type of person who has one bathing suit that I wear a ton, so I want it to be PERFECT. Pesca had an amazing selection, and the woman who works there was extremely helpful in finding sizes and making suggestions. The best thing about this place is they can put padding or cups in any suit. Mission accomplished here, I found THE perfect bikini- and for a reasonable price. Most suits I was considering were $100-$150. Much better than the department/brand name stores in the area. read more

I found out about Pesca through a NY magazine list and didn't know what to expect. I was a little surprises by how small it was at first and immediately thought that I wouldn't find anything. I am a pear shape which makes swimsuit shopping a usually difficult, unpleasant, and frustrating experience. Pesca is amazing. The ladies there immediately get a sense for what you are looking for and your size and start pulling stuff from drawers and racks. The quality and uniqueness of their suits blow department store selection out of the water. There are many beautiful and vibrant choices with interesting details. The girl who helped me was honest with her opinions and didn't tell me that I looked amazing in every one. She was helpful without being pushy or high pressure. I could tell that they've made their reputation by actually making sure customers are happy and feel good in their bathing suit. I will unequivocally go back there whenever I need a new suit. Pesca made shopping for a bathing suit something I can look forward to with hope :). I left with a Despi Bikini from Brazil for $167 including tax. read more

For any woman looking for a stylish classy bathing suit with impeccable customer service....Pesca Boutique ranks #1! I am from Vancouver BC, and other than Holt Renfrew department store, and then again that's a stretch...you are hard pressed to find ANYTHING half descent in the city! Approximately 3 years ago my girlfriend told me about Pesca Boutique and I was hooked! I have been on line shopping there for swimsuits and cover ups since then and have not once been disappointed. Not only is there a vast array of selection from some of the best European brands, they offer super skimpy bikinis, to full coverage for any woman who happens to be bigger than a size 2. The bathing suits are of the best quality, true to size and you can still look age appropriate and sexy if you're over 25 thank God! The owner Shalla is an amazing woman who I hope to some day meet in person, has always personally spoken to me over the phone to make sure my orders are correct and the sizing perfect. My last experience was last week when I order some bathing suits, I had 2 different sizing for top and bottom for a bikini and she phoned me within 5 minutes of me placing an order to confirm this was right. She is an extremely professional woman who has pride in her business and respects the people who shop there to make sure they are receiving the best service possible! She even went so far as to order a bathing suit straight from the UK to get it before I leave for my trip because she didn't have it in stock. Once your order is placed you receive it within 2 days! I can't say enough about Pesca Boutique and Shalla, and urge anyone who is looking to find a beautiful good quality bathing suit to check out her site! Shallah, thank you for everything......you are amazing and I love your store! read more

Amazing selection of swimwear and very knowledgeable and helpful staff. I've never had luck shopping for bikinis in the U.S. as the selection is usually matronly full coverage or super tiny cuts suited only to stick figured women with nothing in between. Pesca gets it right and has something for every body. They stock gorgeous designer bikinis from all over the world and the lovely shop assistant helped me find exactly what I was looking for as well as some very flattering suits that I never would have considered on my own. None of it is cheap but this is by far the best collection of swimwear I've found in the city. read more

Great selection of bathing suits with a professional owner who is as good as it gets. She's very knowledgeable of her inventory and has great recommendations for her customers. Best of all, she listens to your needs. Pesca Boutique is my go-to destination of unique and utterly flattering swimwear and cover-ups. I recommend to all! read more

Best place to shop for bathing suits and dresses!!! Going away and stopped by this store and found a great selection of bathing suits. You get what you pay for. And I'm so glad I found this store. The sales associate was really helpful also and was very patient with me. I had to try on a bunch of bathing suits to find the one I love and she was really helpful and accommodating. She gave me her opinion and told me which ones I should try on and she knew what she was talking about. Their dresses are amazing!!!! Got a whole new wardrobe for my upcoming vacation and can't wait to wear all my new items! Love this store!!! And I'll definitely be coming back! read more

I will start off by saying that despite the small size of the store, Pesca has a great selection and I was able to find a few styles that I liked. It's on the expensive side, but flattering bathing suits are hard to find. That said, I had a horrible experience at the store today and will never be back. I purchased a few suits, tried them on at home within the hour, and realized that one of them had been damaged by the clip-on hangars that are usually used (material pulled and disfugured....not just an impression in the fabric). I immediately brought them back and was told I wasn't entitled to a refund. At most she'd give me 10% off or a credit for the amount and pick something else. We're talking a $200 suit where the damage is on both shoulder straps. The store attendant called the owner 3-4 times as I wouldn't budge, refused to let me speak with her, and kept repeating that they have a no refund policy....even if the goods are damaged. I felt completely wronged, and yet helpless as they had my money and there was nothing I could do. So I called the police. Only thing I could think of. Within 30 seconds of the call, I had my money back. Are you serious? This isn't the way to run a business. read more
