Peppercorn’s Grill is owned and operated by the Cialfi siblings, Sal and Dino, Brothers Sal and Dino purchased Peppercorn's Grill in 1989 and opened Piccolo Arancio in 1994. This generation of Cialfi's has added modern creativity and personality to traditional strengths of their Italian roots. Sal and Dino were trained in the art of Italian food at their uncle's restaurant in Rome. When the opportunity to open a restaurant arose, they jumped at the opportunity and opened the first Piccolo Arancio in Rome. Piccolo Arancio was internationally acclaimed within their first year. Now operated by their cousins, Piccolo Arancio remains near the Trevi Fountain in Rome. Peppercorn's Grill received the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence for 10 years.

    WONDERFUL! WONDERFUL! WONDERFULL! A FIVE STAR EXPERIENCE! Everything about Peppercorns Grill is wonderful. The staff, the service, the wine, the food, the ambiance! I love sitting in the "upper level", I love the mural on the wall. I love Dino's creativity and the fluidity of the menu - always changing and interesting twists on things. The soups are super! The appetizers are varied and all very nice. The ossobuco and the veal chop are great for meat lovers. The vegetarian pasta dishes are great for plant lovers ... love the orange ravioli! The Simply Grilled entrees are great for people who love simplicity. There is something for everyone. ALSO, the restaurant is fun! The desserts and cappuccino ate a wonderful ending to the meal! I recommend this restaurant highly!

    Service was exceptional. We were seated right away, our waitress was attentive and polite, food was delicious and it was everything we expected. We have celebrated our anniversary here for the past few years, they go above and beyond to make it a memorable experience. We received a a tasty course from the chef Dino.
