My experience at Pepp & Delores was perfect. Our server, Darla was very informative about the menu, made sure our waters were full and drinks were ordered. She checked in with us to see if we needed anything. She was very pleasant to talk to. Our food was outstanding, it is always top rate. My favorite restaurant in Cincinnati. Thank you for the wonderful afternoon!

Our waiter was so kind and the risotto balls and chicken schnitzel were the best gluten free foods I have ever had. It was my first time going there for dinner and I was blown away. Will definitely be returning.
