One of the best plates of pasta I’ve had in a long time! Pasta con vongole (clams) with a touch of Calabrian N’duja to spice it up! Absolutely spectacular dish! If you haven’t tried Peperoncino in Dr. Philip’s on Sand Lake, Rd. You don’t know what you’re missing!

Peperoncino is by-far THE local place for authentic, quality Italian cuisine. An absolute staple for me when it comes to planning a date night. The food is incredible, the portions generous, and the staff are not only warm and friendly, but incredibly knowledgeable about the food and wine of Italy. Just ask a question about the menu or for a recommendation and you'll see exactly what I mean.

Leo took great care of us! He was very knowledgeable of the food and wine, and he helped us pick out the perfect dinner. You can tell he takes great pride in the food he serves. I wish we lived in Orlando so that we could eat there more often.

I highly recommend this restaurant if you're looking for a delightful dining experience with excellent service and authentic Italian flavors. As someone who enjoys exploring different eateries and cherishing quality time, it's rare for me to be impressed easily. However, I must admit, it's been a while since I've savored Italian cuisine as much as I did here. The coffee and dessert were exquisite, and Chef Barbara's attention to detail truly shone through. It's the kind of place you leave longing to return soon and sample more dishes from the menu, and I certainly intend to do just that.I highly recommend this restaurant if you want to spend a pleasant time with good service and enjoy the true Italian flavor. I love exploring different restaurants and spending quality time eating, so I'm not easily impressed. However, I must admit that it has been a long time since I enjoyed good Italian food so much. The coffee and dessert were delicious, and every detail was meticulously taken care of by Chef Barbara. This is one of those restaurants that you want to return to soon to try other dishes on the menu, and I definitely will!

We took the family here for dinner. There was only one chef cooking. We waited two hours for our food. The food is average.

Nice atmosphere, waiters were good. Food was horrible. Calamari was tasteless, carbonara was over salted, could not be eaten, and the black ink linguine had so much sauce it was swimming in it. I left over half my meal.... Plus, no real flavour. Was really thinking the food was going to be good based on the reviews, a sad waste of $100. Don't go.

Legitimately one of the most authentic Italian experiences. All dishes made properly and not changed to the American version. Very happy!Slight hiccup regarding ordering and a misunderstanding but will definitely return

Orlando leans to the superficial: what you see is more than what you get. Peperoncino is an exception. The restaurant is charming and intimate, the wait staff are kind and welcoming, the food is authentic and fairly priced. It should be a staple for locals or visitors who want to experience what the city has to offer.

Loved it!! Would love to go there every weekend!!!
We haven't dined at this restaurant yet, but the moment we stepped in, a gentleman named Raul warmly and kindly treated us. I wanted to express my gratitude for him making a table available and making us feel special.

The gnocchi was delicious! It was pillowy soft and the mushroom/truffle sauce was yummy. This place is worth trying. It will not disappoint. The server was so friendly and professional.

This is some of the best Italian food I've ever had. I have been a regular customer for more than 10 years. I DREAM about their Fiocchi, which is pasta filled with pear. The quality of the food is always amazing and delicious. Highly, highly recommend these place.
