   The first two times I came to Pepp and Dolores I was blown away. However this last time was only ok. The server struggled to explain the food on the menu and only kept repeating that it was yummy and not actually explaining any of the dishes. My friends was left completely confused and I had to explain the dishes to her to my best of my ability. The food was ok but the flavor was not complex or to the standard I have based on my past few times in. Maybe because I came in for lunch the service was lacking but even then I expect better from what I thought was such a good place.

   I’ve been many times, and took my friend there for the first time to celebrate both of our birthdays! The food was incredible, and, as always, it was a wonderful time.

   Food was incredible as always but service was rather slow and crazy loud when we went and were seated downstairs.

   We tried the Sunday sauce spaghetti and fusilli pasta, both were very good. Our service was excellent. I gave this restaurant an overall rating of 4 for 2 reasons. When we arrived, we were seated in the middle of several groups. There were so many other open tables available I was surprised we were seated there. So of course we heard conversations from several sides of our table during our entire meal. We also felt rushed through our meal. But because of the wonderful food and service I will give this restaurant another try.

   Pepp is always great! The service and ambiance is spectacular. The appetizers are always the best and our entrees were great but not as good as the appetizers. The espresso martini is the best in town.

    Outstanding food and service. Sourdough with home-made ricotta, carpaccio, and artichokes were Delicious! I wish they had the lamb ragú but switched it out for Spring menu. Sat in basement- very romantic ambience.

    This was our first time at Pepp & Dolores and it was overall good. Our server was super friendly and service was amazing! My boyfriend ordered the Sunday Sauce and I ordered the Brodo pasta. We really enjoyed the Sunday Sauce but the Brodo pasta was not enjoyable. It was more of a soup than pasta. The sauce was so watery and I was not aware of that so it was very disappointing. The flavor/seasoning was also lacking in the pasta. I would still go back, but I do not recommend the Brodo pasta.

    Is not as good as it was when we first started going here. We haven’t been here in about six months and we were disappointed, especially on a special occasion that we since celebrating a birthday. Also, they knew we were celebrating birthday and made no point to make it special. The server didn’t elaborate on the menu options and didn’t give us any kind of extra guidance on selections.

    I have been to Pepp & Dolares 4-5 times and every time I have gone it was absolutely delicious and such an amazing atmosphere. The staff there are always extremely nice and face paced if you only have 40 minutes to eat you could be in and out there so fast service is off the charts amazing! I love their food and they help you understand the menu as it can be slightly intimidating if you are first timers! They have asked every time I’ve gone if I have been there before for that reason absolutely outstanding and they deserve all the best reviews. The only thing I could ever say “negative” is definitively make a reservation because they are slammed packed usually no matter the time or day so plan ahead!

    First time here & we loved it. Wide variety of food so most people should find something that suits their diet or taste. Made a reservation about six weeks out, in the past when we’ve looked for one the same week, we were unable to find one. (Seated right on time). Good wine list as well. We’ll definitely be back!

    The food was amazing as always and the service was great. The only negative was that they was a baby that was crying the entire dinner at a table close to us that was very distracting especially just a small space. The restaurant is more of a date night spot than a family restaurant, and definitely not ideal for our dinner experience.

    This was our first time at Pepp & Delores and it definitely exceeded our expectations. We sat downstairs..perfect table for 2. Our server's name is Ian and he was perfect with his knowledge of wine and food recommendations. The wine he suggested for us was one of the best Italian wines we've ever had! The Ricotta bread service was amazing as well as the Artichokes that were fried and had a lemony butter sauce. The Agnello red wine rigatoni with lamb ragu is wonderful and will be a definite favorite to order on our next visit. I have to say that our server, Ian made this a perfect 5 star evening for us.

    We have been there twice… both times put in basement. Not very comfortable unfortunately. We can hear the conversation next to us very easily. I feel like i am eating with strangers down their. Love to sit upstairs one day!!! Not sure what that takes. Besides that the food, service, value are amazing!!!

    The service was phenomenal, we didn’t have to wait around at all for our server. It’s a smaller restaurant so I think that it accommodates for better service. Everyone was professional and friendly. The food was amazing, we thought it was going to be overpriced pasta but BOY were we wrong. The basil pesto pasta was amazing, the meatballs were amazing, the bread they get from a bakery- again amazing. We will be back and recommending to friends. The little biscotti cooked alone made my boyfriend so happy and they were complimentary after your meal. I didn’t get photos of my boyfriends food but of course his tasted better than mine. Don’t they always lol
