Warm friendly community atmosphere (not stuffy). My daughter and I love this restaurant and have made this our special meeting place. Bravissimo Cornicello !!“

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing Food & The Best Service!

This Italian restaurant is an absolute gem! The food is delicious—full of flavor and made with love. The service is truly the best I’ve ever had—everyone is happy, welcoming, and makes you feel right at home the second you walk in.

I recommend this place to all my clients, especially for their $5.99 frozen dinners to go—they’re perfect for busy nights and just as tasty as dining in!

Ron, the owner and cook, is an incredible guy with a real passion for what he does and it shows in every dish. If you haven’t been yet, you’re missing out! I have to say that Ron is one generous man!!!❤️🙏 Gypsy“

“Their Sweet Chicken Curry Sub is to die for! So yummy!“

“We ordered for a memorial service. Food was delicious!“

“Love the food. I was disappointed that we were told we couldn’t sit in a booth. She said the booths were All reserved. We had a toddler who does so much better in a booth. I honestly considered walking out. We ate and left and only 2 parties came in and used the booth leaving approximately 95 percent of the booths open.“

“I have been coming here since I was a kid, and we love the food! We threw a party downstairs for my parents' anniversary, and everyone was so kind and helpful! The space was perfect, and the food was delicious. It really is a great place! Thank you for everything!“

“Wow! I’ve been in the hunt for delicious pizza since Luigi’s in Portsmouth closed, and I finally tried Pepe Nero’s. My search is over! Their specialty Neapolitan pepperoni pizza was next level.“

“Would give it an (overall) 5 rating and 4 (food) rating given a little more sauce on the pasta, and WAY less salt on the bread rolls - which I cannot even eat without scraping first. Regular stop for the wife and I for Spaghetti with Meatballs and sometimes, Sausages. With the Meat Sauce, a very tasty meal for the price, though I believe the portions of the sauce have been reduced recently, lowering it's value as well. All meals come with a choice of soup or salad, I choose the salad regularly (lettuce, tomato, onion and croutons, Italian dressing and optional fresh grated cheese). The tiramisu is to die for and the wine (Red Blend) very nice at the price.“

“Great Fu@king Food. I will highly recommend this place to anyone. 7 stars 🌟 Seven“

“Such a great night! The food is fabulous, and the staff is amazing! Definitely a go to.“

“We were greeted by a sweet young woman and promptly seated in corner booth as requested. Our server was delightful and friendly. Food was good and enjoyed by all. We had the meatballs and Caesar salad , and special ravioli with squash and pumpkin and shrimp, delicious. Unfortunately the couple with us ordered Marsala but was brought Parmesan veal, they opted to keep it and said it was good. Love the atmosphere of restaurant and menu options.“

“Large steak and cheese is NOT dry at all and has almost twice the steak of wildcat pizza.... I have switched. 15 year local of Durham.“

“First time ever and had the most AMAZING meals, drinks and experience. Staff A+! Food, chicken, broccoli Alfredo. 10/10. Creamed lemon Haddock. 10/10!!! Drinks and bartender, Brittany A+. Chef came out to us to see how our meal was. Told him we left NOTHING on the plate, neither one of us. Not a CRUMB! I usually leave a little something to take home. I couldn’t stop eating. DELICIOUS. Found out new spot! Thank you so much. See you soon!“
