" Such a wonderful gem! I’ve tried empanadas from various places, but nothing quite compares to Peperonata. They have mastered the art of both pastry and filling. On this visit, I opted for the beef and the vegetarian options, and both were incredible, though I particularly enjoyed the beef! The customer service was top-notch; they made sure I felt welcome the entire time. The atmosphere is friendly, and the cleanliness of the venue adds to the overall pleasant dining experience. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" A fantastic experience overall! I visited Peperonata with friends, and we decided to share a variety of their empanadas. Each one was unique and bursting with flavor. My personal favorite was the spicy chicken one. The pasta was fresh and paired so well with the homemade sauce; simply delightful! The service was prompt and friendly, which added to the enjoyable experience. If you're around Sarasota, make it a point to find this cozy spot tucked away—it’s absolutely worth it. " (*Curated Review*)

" A well-deserved 5-star review! I stumbled upon Peperonata after a long day of exploring and was pleasantly surprised at how genuine the Argentine dishes tasted. The empanadas had authentic flavors that reminded me of home. I tried a bit of everything, and everything was fresh and delicious! I loved how the owner shared her story behind each dish, making it feel more personal. I will definitely come back for more and bring friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" This is my go-to place for a quick and delicious meal! Their empanadas make for a perfect lunch, and I love that they offer multiple vegetarian options as well. The atmosphere is cozy, making it a nice spot to relax while grabbing a bite. The service is consistently good, with friendly staff eager to help. Portion sizes are also generous for the price. I highly recommend everyone to try this hidden treasure in Sarasota! " (*Curated Review*)

" So, Peperonata holds a special place in my heart. I was introduced to this restaurant by a friend who swears by their empanadas. Having finally tried one, I can understand why! The flavors are incredibly authentic, and the dough is spot on—crispy, yet tender. I also brought home their fettuccine, which was fresh and incredibly easy to work with in the kitchen. It cooked perfectly, just like they said it would! This place is small and quite popular, so be prepared for a bit of a wait, but it’s absolutely worth it. A little secret—ask for the chimichurri; it elevates everything! " (*Curated Review*)

" Located in a convenient area with lots of parking, Peperonata offers a delightful mix of Italian and Argentine flavors. I have to say, their empanadas are possibly the best I've had outside of South America! The beef empanada was particularly flavorful, and they pair well with the chimichurri sauce. The staff was extremely friendly and made sure our meal was perfect. This place is a must-visit for anyone who loves authentic ethnic food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I absolutely loved my visit to Peperonata Pasta and Empanadas! The empanadas were not only delicious but also made with authentic ingredients that reminded me of home. The variety available was outstanding, and I tried their spicy beef and cheese & onion - both were to die for! The staff was super friendly, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. I can't wait to go back and try more of their pasta offerings! " (*Curated Review*)
