Pepp & Dolores

Everything was exceptional and service was great. Meatballs are wonderful as is the fresh bread and dipping oil. Generous portions - more than we could eat!

Hands down our favorite restaurant in Cincinnati! Amazing food, always superb hospitality, and great atmosphere. The Dunk is a slam-DUNK, Asrtichokes, Limone, and Angello are our go-tos.

Rhett was the best!! He gave wonderful recommendations. Very knowledgeable and has a great personality

After finally managing to get a reservation at at Pepp & Dolores, we discovered why it was so difficult to do so. P & D is a true gem. The limited menu is well thought out and the four dishes we ordered were all excellent, all of which we would order again and in one case (fried artichoke) did immediately.. While dining, we started the process of making another reservation: the earliest we could get in the 5:30 to 8:00 window was 2 weeks out - which we took. The general ambiance is one of a nice European cafe, with a very pleasant outdoor dining space and indoor dinning that opens to the outside. There seemed to be an active bar seen. Food prices are very reasonable, especially in this time when many restaurants have found the need to increase their prices. Highly recommended.

Excellent service from Jake, fantastic recommendations. Will be back!

I have always had great things to say about Pepp and Dolores and happy with the food and drinks. They are always consistent. Last night was a little bit of a disappointment. The meatballs were not available to us as an appetizer but we could order the Sunday Sauce to get the meatball? I would have been happy to pay for one meatball. Our service seemed rushed and the order was off. We wanted sausage and peppers if the meatballs couldn't be provided but were never upsold another appetizer and the entrees arrived so quickly and the server didn't come back before the entrees were cooling for the reminder of the other appetizer. I also wanted a glass of wine prior to the pasta but was never asked if me or my guest would like another drink. I had to wave down the server half way through the pasta in order to get a glass of wine. I just think if service were slowed a little you would have a chance to order another drink, another app, a salad. Overall this experience changed my perception of Pepp and Dolores. I think you need to work on the burn and turn method and work on upselling tables to give the experience and the proper atmosphere that is deserved for such a great restaurant.

Awesome dinner and service! We can’t wait to return

This was our first visit to Pepp & Dolores. Very impressed. Greatly enjoyed the food. Ambiance was very nice and the service was excellent. Sat downstairs which was nice and intimate. Nice wine and cocktail list. all the food was great and loved the selection of pasta. Looking forward to next visit.

Amazing pasta, comfortable setting, and excellent service. Sarah was wonderful!

Enjoyed an early dinner to celebrate my husband's birthday. Sat outside under an umbrella which was very comfortable. The service was quick, courteous and professional. Everything we ordered was delicious. We were very impressed and will be certain to return.

The artichokes is probably the best appetizer I’ve ever had. Great service and great food. Only issue was the portion size.

This is our second time coming here. It's a great place and we will be back. Our food wasn't quite as good as the first time but it was later in the evening. It was a little light on the sauce but the flavor was excellent. Both times here have been a very nice experience. We'll see you again soon.

Food was greatl

We were seated within 5 minutes of our reservation. The bread appetizer was a little charred so they brought us more very quickly. The entrees were excellent and hot! Our server was attentive and it had a very friendly vibe. I will definitely go back but not on an FCC game night. Parking was problematic.

Loved our server Mia - great recommendations! Food a little heavy on salt / otherwise great.

The food was absolutely amazing!

First visit and will definitely return. The service was impeccable and the food was superior.

Cannot say enough amazing things about Pep & Dolores!!! Everything we ordered was wonderful, service was great, and loved the ambiance and vibe. One of the best restaurants we have ever been to! Will go again next time we are in town

We cannot say enough about this joint. The service and staff bring the vibe home and the food, well that will blow you away.

Sarah is the best!

Anna is the best server! So knowledgeable and attentive! We ask for her every time!!

Great Service; Great Food; great location in OTR (Cincinnati)
nice outside patio area - did I mention great service?

We had a delightful young man as our waiter. The food was wonderful and unique not you average Italian selections The Limone was to die for.

Amazing food, atmosphere, and service. We had the artichoke and ricotta. Both were amazing. Then two pastas. Both

We had a lovely service on the outside patio. We enjoyed the wedge salad a lot. The veal meatball was delicious. However we were disappointed in the SUNDAY sauce spaghetti and meatball entrees. We both thought the sauce was a bit too salty and a bit bland for a true robust Italian pasta sauce. The pasta was a little too aldente and was rubbery and chewy.

Fantastic service. Always delicious food. Outside dining was nice; kind of alleyway feel though.

We had a wonderful dinner. The food was amazing and the bartender made a beautiful cocktail. Our server helped us through the menu as it was our first time. We will definitely be back. We enjoyed the homemade ricotta, artichokes and the pasta with seafood.

Great food and very reasonable prices.

Good was excellent but service is too slow. It took 45 mins to get out appetizers.

My husband and I booked reservations with another couple friends for our wedding anniversary. It was our first time experiencing the the delicious food on the menu.

Our waiter was wonderful and very attentive throughout our experience. I highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be back again!

Absolutely fabulous! Italian Panini was perfect. Nice tasty level of spice & great bread. The pasta Limone was so tasty it had to be shared across the table. Deep wine list. But, best of all, our server, Rhett, made the experience so enjoyable!

Unreal! The food was spectacular, super cool vibe, great service. We highly recommend this place, you won’t be disappointed!

I had a lovely experience having lunch here before a wedding in Cincinnati. The food was very good and the atmosphere lovely. I liked the option to sit outdoors!

Excellent service, delicious food. We ordered based on our waiter’s suggestions and ended up with way too much food. This would’ve been okay if we could take the leftovers with us, but we had a night out planned so we left almost half our food behind! Also, we ordered a side of eggplant but were given a side of meatballs. They were delicious so we didn’t complain.

We were so excited to finally try Pepp and Dolores and we were not disappointed! The service, atmosphere and food (especially the ricotta bread and the pasta) were wonderful and we enjoyed our evening. Looking forward to coming back next time we are in Cincinnati!

Our go-to place. Always outstanding food and service.

Food and drinks were absolutely amazing, service was great. Overall a wonderful experience.

Birthday celebration!

Pep & Dolores provided wonderful service and a delicious dinner!

Food was delicious and we enjoyed our visit though AC was too cold and noise level made it difficult to carry on a conversation comfortably.
