Pepe Giallo is a hidden gem serving top-notch Italian American cuisine. The friendly and attentive staff provide exceptional service in a cozy, inviting atmosphere. The menu boasts consistently delicious dishes, including the best fried Calamari in New York City, with al dente pasta and fresh flavors. Outdoor seating is available, making it a great spot for summer dining, and it is dog-friendly with a few small outdoor tables. Customers describe it as a welcoming neighborhood place with really good food at a reasonable price. The lemon chicken is praised for its deep savory pan sauce, which tastes just as good the next day. The restaurant is conveniently located near attractions like the High Line, offering a lively atmosphere that makes it a favorite for both quick bites and relaxed meals. The Lasagna, with its toasted top layer, is highly recommended, though some feel the tomato sauce could use more garlic flavor. The spaghetti bolognese is noted for its meaty and generous sauce, while the cavatelli shrimp fra diavolo is also highlighted. Desserts like Nutella tiramisu are surprisingly delicious, and refreshing drinks such as limonata complement the meals well. Overall, Pepe Giallo is a cool, beautiful restaurant with hardworking, efficient staff that ensures a great dining experience.
