    Our meal here was very good. We were seated within 10 minutes of our reservation. Everyone enjoyed the appetizers, drinks, and pasta. The only downside is that they do not serve dessert and directed us to Graeter’s down the street. Love Graeter’s, but it would have been more convenient to have coffee and dessert while we were already there.

    Pepp and Delores went above and beyond my expectations. It was already my favorite restaurant but last night was so much more than I ever expected. My fiancé and I got engaged a few hours before our reservation. When they found out, they made our night even more special. Every employee we saw congratulated us and the manager sent out several things for us as well. So glad Pepp and Delores got to be a part of our special day!!!

    Appitizers and pasta dishes were very tasty. Anything with fungi was fantastic. The lobster pasta had a nice taste but exceedingly salty.

    Very delicious meal. The pork was tender. The ricotta was absolutely tasty. Our waitress knew the menu well and was very detailed in the dishes. I can see why it's hard to get into this restaurant at times.
