So wonderful. Lovely evening so we were able to sit outside. Our server, Kristin, was new, but was so engaged and wonderful. The food, drinks, and atmosphere were the best!

Had a great dinner and evening with friends! Our server Mark was very informative, attentive and we loved his cheerful, positive attitude. Though it was busy, we were not rushed and everyone working seemed at ease. Thank you for a wonderful evening.

My husband and I ate lunch on 8/14. It was our first meal at Pepp & Dolores. From the moment we walked in, we were treated with a friendly smile and professionalism. Our server, Ashley, knew the menu well. She made recommendations, including her favorites. She was very attentive. We loved the old feel of the restaurant. The food was delicious. We will definitely eat there again.

Have been to pepp before and was blown away by the pasta dishes. Felt very average this time unfortunately and did not meet up to previous occasion.

It was the first day for our server(forgot her name- blonde with pony tail and very bubbly) and she was very well trained. Everything was delicious!

We tried some new items this visit and stuck with some old ones too. One of our party was vegan and they were able to accommodate her. They only had one main entrée but she very much enjoyed the pomodoro. They had several options on the app and sides menus that were vegan or could be made vegan. The fried artichoke is a unique dish we had as an appetizer. With the lemony sauce, we all liked this. I had the wedge for the first time and jowl bacon was delish and it wasn't smothered with dressing - this is a good thing. I had the Sunday sauce for the first time. This dish allow you to try a meatball and the pork without need to order them separately as side dishes. Tasty red sauce and with the house made spaghetti was very good - maybe my new go-to (but I do like the squid ink pasta too... decisions...). I was skeptical of the eggplant side but I did not need to be. SO good. I had two cocktails that I had tried. Of the two, the Limoncello and Tonic was refreshing and delicious - another new favorite. We all still agree you need real desserts (coffee and limoncello is NOT dessert) even if you need to contract with an outside shop to do it. There are plenty in town. How about work with Dojo Gelato? Get someone to do cannoli and tiramisu. I know I gave 5-stars, but dessert would put you all over the top.

Highly recommend! The food is amazing! There are so many fantastic options, it is hard to choose! We sat outside this time and it was lovely. The staff are friendly. The wines and cocktails are great. Try it if you haven't yet! We recommend the Artichokes, the Wedge Salad, the Spicy Vodka pasta.

Enjoyable experience for our anniversary! Food was amazing!

Wonderful as always

The food is was amazing. Best pasta I’ve had in Cincinnati.
