    Family time in the basement was wonderful. Our party of five tried most of the menu. All was better than great.

    Wine was outstanding. Food was average. Noise level was too much for my liking.

    We had an early dinner in the downstairs bar, which has a moody, speakeasy vibe. The seats were comfy, our bartender/server was charming and attentive, and the food was delicious. We ordered the lemon pasta, butternut mascarpone agnoletti, the wedge (which they were able to modify to our request), and the beans and greens. We would definitely return.

    We always love coming to Pepp&Dolores! Their Ricotta with charred bread is outstanding and I don’t even know what to say about their homemade pasta. Each sauce is divine and every dish I’ve tried is excellent. We love coming here!

    We really enjoyed our dinner at Pepp & Dolores. The service was VERY good. The food was great. We loved everything we ordered. We started of with bread & ricotta cheese. It was delicious, then we had the artichokes alla giudia, the lemon was perfect. The GEM salad was good. The veal cutlets was a little thin and I didn't use much of the lemon with capers sauce. I definitely would receommed the Funghu pasta if you are a mushroom lover. Overall, everything was VERY good. Only negative is the seating are close to other tables and you can hear other conversation. This is the only negative if you are looking for a romantic dinner.
