This was not our first trip to Pepp & Dolores, and they never disappoint. As always, we started with the whipped ricotta, and it was as tasty as ever. We followed that with the fried artichokes and the gem salad, and both were delicious. We chose the Limone on our own, and our server made two other outstanding recommendations of the Funghi pasta and the Butternut Squash pasta. The amazing food and service always keeps us coming back!

Sotto never disappoints. Food quality is on point and service is amazing every time.

You can get great service anywhere, but great hospitality is hard to come by. 10/10 dining experience. We just eloped and we're supposed to be out of town but due to a hiccup we ended up delaying that. We decided to treat ourselves to a nice dinner. They really made it special by giving us an intimate table upstairs and a few other special touches. Our server was knowledgable (I asked a lot of questions) and friendly without being overbearing. Upon reading the reviews, I expected small portions but we left very full and wholly satisfied. It's important to keep in mind this isn't a regular dining experience but set up almost like you're building your own tasting menu. As a whole, it was a very special experience for us. The haricots verts and truffle gnocchi were my favorites!

Start to finish we had an outstanding experience! We were greeted by very friendly staff when we arrived early for our reservation and only had to wait a few minutes. When we were sat, our server, Cameron, introduced himself along with several support staff. They we're all very helpful throughout our meal taking excellent care of us. Of course, the food was outstanding and we were pleasantly surprised that when we wanted to split anything that they did that for us in the kitchen and the split portions were quite large. We ended up taking home quite a lot for a second meal at home which was just as great the second time around. My husband's boneless ribeye was the star of the meal - unbelievably delicious! I had the salmon which was cooked just like I like it - medium rare. The potatoes Anna was a great side dish along with the brussel sprouts. For dessert we went with the standard butter pie ala mode and finished every bite - yummy! 5 Stars from us from beginning to end!

Perfect date night. Classic Italian dishes. Big portions. Seasoned perfectly. Good wine. Good service. Reasonably priced. Relaxing atmosphere. Definitely will come back.
