    Appitizers and pasta dishes were very tasty. Anything with fungi was fantastic. The lobster pasta had a nice taste but exceedingly salty.

    Very delicious meal. The pork was tender. The ricotta was absolutely tasty. Our waitress knew the menu well and was very detailed in the dishes. I can see why it's hard to get into this restaurant at times.

    We have never had a bad meal or poor service. It’s our favorite place to go for special occasions, and they’ve never disappointed.

    The hostess was extremely nice but our server was not. She barely talked to us, despite it being my birthday, and I had to go up to the bar to get a drink at one point. I have never had such unfriendly service at pepp - do better. Food was good but you’re also paying for an experience. Your servers should want to be there .. period.

    Best Italian food I’ve ever had!! This is our first visit and we will definitely be back. The fresh sourdough and ricotta was amazing and the meatballs and Sunday sauce were excellent. My only complaint is they don’t have a dessert menu! Must try if you’re in Cincy.

    Food was awesome as always but there were a couple issues. I had to reorder my main entree since I was told that the menu item wasn't available after putting in my order which I specifically put in to allow my party to share. It would have been nice to know something wasn't available up front so I had time to coordinate my order with the people I was with instead of being rushed to pick an alternative quickly. Additionally, we ordered cappuccinos' and espresso's afterward and they were provided but without amoretti cookies. When we asked the waiter for some, we were told they were out. Disappointing.

    My experience was pleasant and the food was very delicious. Obviously truly authentic Italian food. It’s worth telling other people about it. I’m all about word-of-mouth.
