They were very busy so we had to wait for our table. No worries though...complimentary prosecco! Food was great as well as the service.

It was excellent night out for dinner with family. Generous portions and cooked to perfection. Price was right too, affordable.

The ricotta and the arancini appetizer were delicious! Pasta was great, as always! Rachel was a great server, she helped us make a choice on pasta and guided us to the best wine option for us!

Restaurant was everything I wanted from a restaurant, inexpensive for what it was, quality homemade pasta, good drinks and great lighting. Highly recommend for a good date night spot you won't regret it.

Had a great experience! Had to wait about 15 minutes after our reservation time to be seated. Other than that everything was amazing!!

Was very excited to experience Pepp & Dolores but was quickly disappointed. We were sat 20 minutes after our reservation, which was fine. Our server was very friendly but often forgot about our table and us in general. Drinks sat empty for a long time, and we would watch her go to her other tables but never us. Food was not too bad.

We really enjoyed the meal, but it took way too long for it to get to our table. More than 45 minutes.

The food is incredible. However, there are two areas they could improve — the bread and the service. We got the bread with dip. It is ridiculous how much bread you get. Unlike anything we have ever experienced in an Italian restaurant. The crust was so thick that you had to pull really hard to break off a piece. The dip they give you was more like salad dressing than like any bread dip we have ever had. The amount of dip you get is far out of proportion to the amount of bread you get. It was not only yucky and chewy, and it smacked of cheapness. The waitress was nice but we waited an hour for simple dishes. Our reservation was for 4:30. It is very loud in this restaurant. It is too bad, because the food is “too mucha good.”

Walked in the restaurant early for our reservation for a birthday date night, was welcomed very nicely by Rhett and told that we could get drinks at the bar while we waited for our table in the basement seating. The upstairs bartender Isaac was very friendly and knows what he’s doing with mixology, he made me an amazing cocktail that he’s been working on. Everything about our dinner was amazing, the ricotta and sourdough and artichokes alla giudia was perfect. We had the limone pasta, butternut & mascarpone, and we were gifted the spicy vodka pasta dish as well. Everything tasted amazing, Dani was our server and she did an amazing job with her service. For desert we had an affogato and I had an espresso, was delicious. I highly recommend this place, the service and vibe of the restaurant was amazing. Will come back again.

Dani was amazing. She made my birthday so perfect. She knew everything about the menu the wine, we ended up letting her choose. She made our night end on such a good notes we love Dani.

The issue with this restaurant is they previously had the seating for parties of 9 or 10 in the main dining area. However, they now make those size parties go through the “special events”. So if you just want to order some pasta for your birthday with your family, you can no longer do that without spending an absurd amount of money. But i guess they are just following the trend of this extremely expensive world we now live in. It’s extremely disappointing, i just wanted to have dinner for my birthday with my family.

I have come to Pepp and Dolores multiple times and I will keep coming back. The service, food and drinks are amazing. My favorites are the Aperol Spritz, the ricotta and sourdough and the Limone. We went today to celebrate belated birthdays and Mark our server was amazing! He made sure to tell us we were not rushed and gave multiple recommendations. He also was just enjoyable to talk to and he was so upbeat and energetic. To the owners of Pepp and Dolores he needs a raise!
