    We had our first Pepp and Dolores experience this evening and had a wonderful time. Our server, Mike, was kind, explanatory, and funny. The food was delicious and the service was even better.

    Delicious food and good service. Started with the creamy and delicious ricotta with the bread. The little pops of salty flavor balanced out the slightly sweet creaminess of the cheese. Husband loved the pesto. My limone pasta was a little too Al dente, but the shrimp more than made up for it. Best shrimp I’ve ever eaten in my life. We’ll be coming back to try one of their gigantic meatballs and try the butternut squash pasta dish. And of course have more ricotta and bread! Atmosphere was chill. Mostly quiet, beautiful art-deco but modern interior. Tables weren’t on top of each other, either.

    This was our first visit and it was perfect. We had been trying to get a reservation that worked for months and finally got one. The food, service, atmosphere were all top notch and we can’t wait to come back.

    Excellent restaurant. Food was delicious especially shrimp and artichokes. This will be our spot whenever we come to Cincinnati. Reservations are highly recommended as restaurant is very busy.

    The service was wonderful, the dining room extension is great, but the loud party of new money suburbanites next to us asking for dishes off the menu was a downer. Nothing to do with the restaurant or service. The food was amazing. I always love coming, I wish reservations weren’t months out, especially as someone who’s come in since the first year. I’ll always be back, I just wish there was a way to request more private dining away from the bridge and tunnel crowd.
