i have been going here twice aweek for the past 8 weeks. the restaurant just got their liquor license. i didn't know, so i brought a bottle of wine which our server promptly opened. i was then informed of the corkage fee. i asked to speak to the manager to discuss the corkage fee being waived only this time because we were regulars. he informed me that he had never seen me at the restaurant before despite the fact that the waiters all knew me. i paid the corkage fee and promptly left, never to return. prior to this experience i really liked the food at this restaurant.

We remember fondly that Al Forno was the restaurant in this space before Cheech and Peppe's. Al Forno was much, much better. Though our server tried hard, he couldn't make up for the poor quality of the food. Even the bread was stale and had to be toasted before it was served. Toasted Italian bread in an Italian restaurant? We will not be returning.

Great service. I think our waiter’s name was Taylor. Food was very good. My only knock is that they didn’t have their liquor license yet so bring your adult beverages with. Great location and cool decor.
