    We had a delicious December lunch at Pepp & Dolores! The host and our waiter (Mark) were very welcoming and gracious. We enjoyed The Dunk bread and dip, first. Then we shared the Gem salad. My husband ordered the Sunday Sauce entree and I chose the Butternut Squash Ravioli. The food and service were excellent! It is a little pricey, but a nice occasional treat.

    The service was exemplary as was the food. The music is very energetic and to my taste too loud. I will return and often because the food and service is excellent.

    We came for lunch and to celebrate a birthday. Staff was gracious and gave a complimentary glass of wine for birthday. Children enjoyed food. Staff was attentive. Bread service and a pasta meal was good for lunch, if we came for dinner would order a few sides to share.

    A+! One of our family’s fave restaurants! Eggplant Involtini is divine! Sunday Sauce is always a hit, tried Swiss Chard and Sausage and it did not disappoint.

    The service was equally as amazing as the food. The vodka sauce, braised pork, and Swiss chard pasta were out of this world!
