    We had a lovely night. The pasta dishes were warm to cool but the appetizers were amazing.

    The food was good! We ordered the ricotta bread, which was a highlight. Then we got the eggplant appetizer and it was probably one of the worst eggplant dishes I’ve ever had, which is unfortunate because I usually enjoy them. We then got the shrimp, which was really good. We also got the Pesto, Limone, and Butternut squash pastas. All of the pastas were really good and had a lot of unique flavors. The thing that kind of ruined this experience for us was our server. We had a later reservation (8pm) so we weren’t expecting the most energetic server since it’s the end of their shift. However what we got was a distracted server who couldn’t give us more than 20 seconds of attention before glancing all around the room like they had something more pressing to do. They had maybe a dozen heads and were all around inhospitable. Which makes no sense! With 12 heads they should have all the time in the world. I don’t remember the last time I was served so poorly, and from supposedly one of the best restaurants in Cincinnati.

    This is my first experience at Pepp & Delores and it won’t be my last! This was the best pasta I have had in my 23 years of living. 20/10 I highly recommend!

    Food was delicious, lemone pasta was out of this world. You can also really feel the difference that makes their self made noodle

    The restaurant is very nice. Looks good. Segmentation prevents it from being overly loud. Very good food. Vodka pasta was t as warm as we would have liked but it tasted very good.

    Visiting our daughter at UC; we decided to try Pepp & Dolores. Very pleased with our experience. We were seated in a room in the back, which was perfect. The noise level was low so we were able to carry on a conversation. The waitress was great and the food was delicious. We will be back!
