First time here and loved it! Will definitely go back! We were at the bar downstairs and the bartender was extremely helpful. Her name is Aysha and we ordered pretty much everything she recommended. It was helpful that she not only knew the popular items but offered her own recommendations from experience and was able to describe the food - from the texture to the taste. This probably has been the best restaurant customer experience I've had in a LONG time. The good itself did not disappoint. Very delicious and tasteful. Will definitely go back!
Cannot even begin to tell you how much we love this place. The Food, the atmosphere, the staff - everything is amazing! We are actually local photographers in the area and we have photographed in this space for engagement sessions and small weddings. Each and every time, the photos turn out amazing and we are so well taken care of. The staff is so kind and accommodating not only to us, but our couples as well and we couldn't be more appreciative. On our nights off from work, we still go to Pepp and Dolores for their amazing pasta and cocktails. Literal favorite spot in the City - Cincy's best local gem!
I loved the atmosphere and service. The food was kind of hit or miss. The wedge was good-the dressing had great flavor. The limone pasta was extremely citrusy and I couldn’t get it down but my server was awesome and brought me Sunday sauce instead. The meatballs were not typical and not my favorite but the spaghetti was solid. I’ve also tried the Pomodoro but it wasn’t anything I’d go out of my way to get. I really want to love this place so I’m going to go back soon to try the spicy vodka and hopefully that will have more flavor that’s more to my taste. There’s a flat parking lot right across from it.
came here celebrating friends in town and had an unforgettable experience! We made a reservation downstairs and it was the perfect intimate venue. The food far exceeded all of our expectations. The meatballs as an app were amazing. The wines and cocktails were tasty (try the lemoncello!). The star of the show was the lemone pasta, amazing!! Creamy and bright. Close second was the Angelo, incredibly rich and flavorful. The veal cutlets are also a can’t miss!!
Delicious - first time visit. Our server was Gina excellent server and pleasant, very knowledgeable, and accommodating. Our meals were superb. The atmosphere was relaxing and pleasant. Outside seating as well as indoor. They offer a full bar. Pastas were so fresh. We will definitely be back. We parked across the street at the public parking area - easy access and $8 for the evening.
