Prompt service. Food was interesting and great. We sat outside by the parking lot so a bit of car noise, but not too bad.

Our first dining experience at Zio Peppe after reading about it for the past few years. It was worth the drive - fresh, interesting flavors.

Is this place in new hands?? I ordered my usual Mesclun Salad with grilled salmon. The salad was about 1/2 the size it used to be but not half the price - $12.00 - that's a lot for a side salad size! And the salmon did not seem grilled, more like fried? And it was $15 for about 4-5 oz. $27.00 pretty expensive. I went home to eat dinner lol. Peace out Zio Peppe.

Tasty Italian food in a low-key atmosphere. Many entrees plus pastas and pizza. No separate menu for lunch.

Our favorite restaurant--the food is THAT good. I tried so hard to order something besides the rotini, but, alas, I couldn't pass it up. Again. And the dark chocolate taco cannoli was to die for.

So happy to return for my birthday celebration! Loved it! Stephen S Was an excellent server once again! A positively memorable night!

Great experience, I have been here a couple times with my husband and this time I brought a lovely friend. We shared the Mesclun salad, I had El Rústico Birria pizza and she had the Bucatini Arrabbiata & Meatballs. Lovely time.

Insane fusion and taste. I’ve ordered a lot of different things off their menu and all the pizzas are bomb. The real deal and nothing like it. We go sit down or order pickup. Had many people try it too.They never miss 🎯

If you don’t want a 5 day hospital stay, don’t eat here. Just ate here for the first time last Saturday, had the chicken Caesar salad and asked for grilled chicken on top of it. Not long after I was in a helicopter being taken to the hospital for severe food poisoning. Literally came so close to killing me, the doctors said the first day or two was touch and go, the food poisoning took a massive toll on my heart and kidneys (i was mostly in and out of consciousness).
This ruined me for eating out ever again. Just don’t do it.

It was difficult to locate in the evening. There were no lights on the outside of the building and it was set back from the road.

Went to Zio Peppe to celebrate my brother's birthday this past weekend. The food was great and really tasty (fettuccine Alfredo, Jamaica cheesecake, and more), but I was really disappointed with the service after hearing about all of the good reviews on Google. We had a server, Sophie, and she seemed nice enough in the beginning, but then the service just went downhill from there. The food took a while to come and we finished our drinks before the food came out. I had asked the server for more water as we were all parched and she either completely forgot or something. One of my group members saw her filling other table's water, but not ours. It was also hard getting her attention as we needed some other things and we ended up having to reach out another fella that graciously helped us out with what we needed. I would probably come here again and order the food to go instead of dining in due to the subpar service.

I love coming here. The food is so creative but so tasty. I love getting the figgy stardust pizza it’s my go to menu item and the risotto is also soooo good and packed with flavor. The service is always so nice and the atmosphere is very quiet and nice for a night out dinner date with friends, family or partners.

I wasn’t surprised when I decided to see if their dessert was as good as their savory items. I tried their Jamaica cheesecake and it was sweet and tangy. Loved it! Gluten Free & Vegetarian options are available on their menu clearly marked what can be made GF or Vegetarian upon asking.

They have indoor and outdoor seating and the parking is open and free.

I have been here a couple times and never disappointed.

Love the food but the service leaves much to be desired. I’ve dined in and had to chase down my server for refills/condiments. I order takeout frequently and its so awkward to pick it up because the workers just stare at you and no one wants to help you, every single time. I feel like for $20-40 an entree, the service should be a lot nicer.
