Customer Reviews
We love Sal E Pepe! The homemade pasta is such great comfort food. My go-to is the braised short rib ravioli, spectacular! I usually am able to reuse the cream sauce the next day to make my own batch of ravioli at home and the flavors are still so rich. When we go to eat in the restaurant, the staff are extraordinary-very attentive, Shannon and Wendy are great! And the support staff (busses, food runners) are so polite and courteous and just an all around pleasure. We love getting Sal E Pepe, everyone on our family chooses this as our 'special birthday dinner'. The price is extremely fair and they offer coupons that add to the savings. Outdoor seating is also available for the warmer seasons, and decor is rotated for the time of year also, making it extra homey and cozy. Cannot recommend t
Aye t̾e̾r̾p̾y̾fam ya guy finally slid up on S-é-PCIB..so how was it? Overall it was good for a Sunday lunch w/the family. And would have gotten 5stars if nit for service. Tbf our waitress seemed to be handling every table seated so it was a bit busy for her but, seemed to favor certain tables more which was a little weird. (Its not a large dining area) Apps were good, bruschetta was served warm (different but not bad) and the arancini werent overly cheesy. Their red sauce leans on the sweeter side so no heartburn issues there, no complaints there really and the meatballs are housemade and good quality all around. All pasta dishes were toothy and not over cooked (another plus) and food came out relatively fast. Would come back but just not on a Sunday when waitstaff is minimal. Food is
Amazing experience, they really know how to make small moments special. This is Italian food done right, pasta was so fresh. Excellent service, fair price. Try everything! An appetizer, entree and dessert! Still dreaming of their most perfect creme brulee!
Everything was wonderful. The food, from appetizers to dessert was excellent. We had the shrimp scampi pizzetta, which is delicious. I had the Sunday Gravy dinner, and I can’t wait to eat my leftovers on Sunday! All of your waitstaff is the best! They are all extremely attentive, friendly, and polite. We are fairly new to the area, and have enjoyed your food quite a number of times. We brought our kids for the first time and they were very impressed. We’ll be back very soon!
We were impressed as our waitress took our order and didn’t write anything down and when our food came out, everything was as we ordered it. We tend to order food with either exceptions to what is on the menu, so to have everything served as requested by someone other than the waitress who took the order was very impressive. My steak was a little overcooked but it was tender and very good. We frequent this establishment due to the quality and atmosphere! Great experience.
