" First time eating at Pepp & Dolores, and I was very impressed! The ambiance was charming, making it perfect for a cozy dinner. We ordered the Sunday Sauce and the Pesto pasta, both of which were impressive; it was like dining in Italy! The only downside was that our server seemed a bit preoccupied, which delayed our appetizers. The food made up for it, though. Take a reservation if you plan to visit during the weekend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Pepp & Dolores is just fantastic! I felt instantly welcomed when I arrived, and our server was super attentive without being intrusive. We enjoyed the Limone and the Gricia pasta. Both were fresh and had a delightful texture that’s hard to find elsewhere. If you love Italian food, this place is a must-try! The only thing I wished for was a more diverse dessert menu, as I have a huge sweet tooth. Regardless, I will definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so much about Pepp & Dolores, we finally got reservations for our anniversary dinner. I was excited to try the renowned Sunday Sauce and the Butternut & Mascarpone pasta. Honestly, the meal was as exceptional as advertised! The pasta was cooked perfectly, and the flavors were spot on; I truly felt like I was dining in Italy. The atmosphere was cozy and intimate. However, I have to say that our server seemed overwhelmed, and we had to wait longer than expected for our drinks. That being said, I'd still give it a strong recommendation due to the quality of the food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Pepp & Dolores deserves all the praise! Our pasta was fresh and bursting with flavor. I had the Limone with shrimp, while my friend ordered the Gricia. We paired our meals with a nice bottle of Italian red wine, and everything was delicious. The service was a tad slow at times, but I chalk it up to the restaurant being busy. Worth the wait for that mouthwatering food! We will definitely come back for another round. " (*Curated Review*)

" We stopped by on a whim, not expecting much, but Pepp & Dolores blew us away! It was busy, but the ambiance was still inviting. The ricotta with bread was a highlight; I can't stop thinking about it! I ordered the Pesto and Grilled Shrimp, while my friend had the Pomodoro. Both dishes were well-spiced and beautifully presented. The service was attentive and friendly, which made the experience even better. We will certainly be returning for a longer visit next time!

" As a food enthusiast, I had high expectations for Pepp & Dolores. It definitely did not disappoint! I enjoyed every element of the meal, starting with the ricotta and then on to the main show: the meatballs and Limone pasta. Everything tasted freshly prepared, full of vibrant flavors that felt authentic. The layout of the restaurant did make conversations a bit overwhelming at times, but the quality of the food made it worth it. Would recommend for special occasions! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a fantastic dining experience at Pepp & Dolores! The staff was incredibly friendly, and our server made excellent recommendations. We particularly loved the meatballs; they were packed with flavor. The only caveat was that it was a bit noisy, but it just added to the lively atmosphere. The atmosphere, food, and service made it a memorable experience. Highly recommend visiting! " (*Curated Review*)
