Amazing experience, they really know how to make small moments special. This is Italian food done right, pasta was so fresh. Excellent service, fair price. Try everything! An appetizer, entree and dessert! Still dreaming of their most perfect creme brulee!

Aye t̾e̾r̾p̾y̾fam ya guy finally slid up on S-é-PCIB..so how was it?

Overall it was good for a Sunday lunch w/the family. And would have gotten 5stars if nit for service.
Tbf our waitress seemed to be handling every table seated so it was a bit busy for her but, seemed to favor certain tables more which was a little weird. (Its not a large dining area)

Apps were good, bruschetta was served warm (different but not bad) and the arancini werent overly cheesy.

Their red sauce leans on the sweeter side so no heartburn issues there, no complaints there really and the meatballs are housemade and good quality all around. All pasta dishes were toothy and not over cooked (another plus) and food came out relatively fast.

Would come back but just not on a Sunday when waitstaff is minimal. Food is solid and they have a lot of options.

This was our 1st visit and we planned an early reservation which gave us the quiet atmosphere we look for. The service was great and the food very good. We would definitely return.

We have been dining at Sal ePepe Contemporary Italian Bistro for almost 20 years. The food and service has always been top notch and would recommend anyone looking for a great meal. Their homemade pastas are very delicious and they start out with a basket of fresh bread with oil and garlic Parmesan. If you want a great dining experience, you won’t be disappointed at this fine Italian restaurant.

We were seated in a side room with no ambiance. Also no dedicated server. Waited forever for everything. Food below average. Risotto mushy and bad flavor Pasta Clams same. No chef in this kitchen. Entire experience was an insult.

Usually excellent food. But tonight salad was tasteless and added salmon had no seasoning at all. Disappointed.

Mel is great in the bar, drinks are delicious. My fish was overcooked halibut I think it was, I ate it because I was super hungry but def disappointed. Time before this I ordered seafood medley over pasta I was astounded at the size of the clams, way too small for the price that’s being charged - that was disappointing. I like the place but when you’re charging top dollar be on your game.

The staff here were so accommodating, it felt like we were eating with family. The food was great and we had an amazing time on the patio with our two pups. We’re definitely making the trip to come here again.
