- BBarbaraTucson •1 review5.0Dined on Jun 22, 2025Zio Peppe is nothing like prior restaurants that have occupied this building. Don't let the modest exterior or location fool you. You will be pleasantly surprised when you enter this restaurant and see the tables nicely set with black tablecloths and an an overall elegant feeling. The serivce we had was excellent and the overall atmosphere quite wonderful and relaxing. Produce and meats are locally sourced where possible with other goods imported from Italy and Spain for authenticity. Zio Peppe also uses local heirloom grains for their bread and pizza. We ordered starters, entrees, and cocktails and all were delicious. Save room for dessert, as the dessert menu looks appealing, even though everyone was too to order anything more. They also have some Digestives on their dessert menu, which I will try next time. The restaurant has a smaller capacity, so reservations are suggested. I would rank Zio Peppe as more of a higher-end restaurant, so the prices are commensurate. If you want to dine somewhere special and are on the east side, you might want to consider Zio Peppe. I definitley recommend this restaurant and will dine here again.More infoZio PeppePrice: Expensive• Italian• East Tucson•4.7
