   Great restaurant for a FUN night out. Yes, to the Housemade Ricotta (but mainly for the sourdough with olive oil and sea salt). Yes, to the fried artichokes (you won't regret it), and yes, to the Gem salad (because it's fancy, and so are you). Finally, order from the Orange wine list and get the Pasta Limone because you want to twirl your pasta; you'll thank me later.

   Enjoyed the outside atmosphere. The Sunday sauce, aperol spritz, and mushroom toast were excellent! The green salad was just okay and the gricia pasta was a little underwhelming (which was too bad! It looked so good!). It just didn’t have enough flavor.

   Housemade Ricotta- best ricotta I have ever eaten. Fried artichokes-out of this world. Sunday Sauce and Limone entrees- I cannot recommend them enough. Service fantastic- Tia is top-notch! The perfect meal ended with these complimentary Amaretto cookies that I dream about. What a wonderful experience.

   Such amazing prices for spectacular food. The wine list was well thought out and I really appreciated the half glass option so we could try many things. I can’t wait to go back.

   5 Stars! Definitely lived up to the hype starting with the house made ricotta, could eat it everyday. Appetizers were fantastic, and the Pastas were fresh, and delicious. Service was welcoming, and kind. Rhett was a courteous host who didn’t have us waiting for too long, and Carmen was a very amiable server, amazing recommendations, helped us pair a wine, and made sure our food had perfect timing! Definitely gonna be a new regular spot for me

   Anniversary dinner with my girlfriend. We were seated in a cozy corner of the downstairs bar/lounge area which was very nice. Food was amazing and Aaron took great care of us.

    This is my favorite restaurant at this point. It took me so long to discover it and get a reservation that worked for me. Now I plan ahead so I am not disappointed. It is my "go to" for celebrations with friends and love he menu - creative, healthy options and the most delicious food ever! In making my reservation I asked for a "quiet corner". and our wonderful waiter was totally attentive and also made it clear he would not rush us....as it was a special celebration

    Elena was an amazing server. She was so kind and very knowledgeable of the menu. Me and my fiancé were celebrating our anniversary and she made the day even more magical. Her drink selection was perfect to what we like to drink.

    This place is such a gem. The menu is small but mighty! We ordered the cucumber appetizer, as well as the grilled shrimp and braised pork add-on items. My husband ordered the Sunday sauce and I ordered the Limone with rice flour noodles ( have egg allergy and the will let you substitute the rice noodles in almost every dish, so delicious!!). The limone is absolutely amazing, the sauce is rich without being overpowering and doesn’t leave you with a heavy too full feeling. All of our food came out perfect and delicious. We tried a variety of their cocktails and all were very good, our waitress was sweet and attentive. The only negative we had was with the table we were sat at, it was a two seater right next to an open window shade, the shade is quite large since it’s window panels and it made that side of the table restricted. Luckily the table next to us we finished and we were able to scoot a bit. This was not a big deal but we would ask if we could be seated elsewhere if we came back and were asked to sit next to the open shades. This is a wonderful little spot and hopefully a Cincinnati staple for many years

    My party of 4 arrived on time for our reservation (4:30 Thur) and were seated promptly in the main dining room at a window table overlooking the street and the outdoor dining area. The room was bright and elegant, with enough space that we did not feel crowded. One of my guests said she felt we could have been in a bistro in Paris. The hostess and wait-staff were friendly, efficient and helpful describing the menu items. We all enjoyed our meals, wine and cocktails - especially recommend the Limoncello. The check came promptly and was accurate. We will return in the future.

    After SEVERAL months of trying to come here, booked a reservation 2 months out and were still blown away. We were lucky enough to sit outside on a beautiful sunny Sunday evening and truly soaked in the ambiance of this wonderful restaurant. The size of the plates make it perfect for a sharing experience with a significant other or a group of family/friends who want to explore their palate’s, have some incredible wine (or cocktail) and relax. There have been only a few restaurants in the US I’ve been to that can compare to the taste of Italy as well as the general atmosphere and feel of a nice village eatery in Rome, this is most certainly one of them. I cannot recommend this establishment enough, get your name on the books because the wait is worth it!

    Pepp is always amazing! My husband was so glad the Lobster is back and said it was just as good as always. I had the Gricia, which is my favorite, and our friends had the Pesto and the Sunday Sauce. We also shared Homemade Ricotta, meatballs and pork shoulder. My husband had a glass of Chianti and I had the Barbera. Everything was thoroughly enjoyed, especially by our friends for whom it was their first time. Our server Mark was very attentive as well. It was a late Sunday afternoon meal and we sat by the fully open windows, which was very enjoyable. We'll be back soon!

    Pepp & Delores has quickly become one of our favorite restaurants in Cincinnati. This is our first visit since they went to the spring/summer menu and the new dishes were incredible fully living up to the high standards we have come to expect. Looking forward to our next visit in the near future.
