Don Peppe

I was on business in Queens and someone recommended that we should go there. When we arrived it looked like it was closed, but it was open. A great family owned Italian (Napoli) restaurant since 1968! No menu, the items are listed in the wall in the back. Our waiter from Albania (worked there for 10 years, as great). He recommended baked clams (excellent) and stuffed mushrooms (really good). We ordered Veal Marsala and Veal Parmgiana - both fantastic. No hard liquor available, but good Italian Wine. I had a Tartufo (Italian Coffee like rocket fuel). Overall a great place for families with large portions. We enjoyed it.

This is a late review, but I celebrated my birthday here and it was absolutely worth sharing. Everything was excellent from start to finish. The baked clams were beyond amazing—hands down the best baked clams I’ve ever had. The food overall was delicious, the portions were very generous (one serving can easily be shared by two to three people), and everything tasted fresh and well prepared. The wine selection was also great and paired perfectly with our meal. The atmosphere was welcoming and perfect for celebrating with family and friends. If you’re looking for a place with great food, large portions, and a wonderful dining experience, this is definitely the spot. Highly recommend!

A lovely, warm family restaurant. The food is always fantastic, the service is excellent, and the attention to detail is impressive — especially the clean, hot plates for every dish. The atmosphere feels cozy and relaxed, and the house red wine is light and smooth, almost like juice. A place we truly enjoy coming back to. 🥇🏆🏇🏼🏇🏼🏇🏼🏇🏼🏇🏼🏇🏼🏇🏼🏇🏼🏇🏼🏇🏼

Worth the hype. Just exceptional family style Italian American food. We got the rigatoni with sausage and broccoli rabe, veal don peppe, stuffed artichoke, tiramisu, and cannoli. 10 out of 10. Everything was perfectly cooked and fresh. The portions are enormous. Make the trip.

A friend from work who lived in the area wanted to thank me for helping him out & took me here for dinner. (7pm on a Friday in July) I was able to find a parking space around the corner but could tell parking could be difficult in the area. This place must get pretty busy, they had a bunch of benches outside in a covered space for those waiting for a table. Luckily there was no wait when we arrived & were shown to a table immediately. The restaurant has jockey jackets & pictures of race horses everywhere. I guess because it’s close to a race track. We had the mozzarella and roasted peppers with tomato & baked clams as an appetizer. Then spaghetti with bolognese sauce and chicken parmigiana for the main. The waiter was very polite and professional. The food was pretty pretty good as well. T
