The homemade Stacked Eggplant Parm Antipasti and the homemade Cannoli dessert were high lights of a fabulous dining experience!
When we were first seated, we were given a menu to order from and made our selections. Shortly after, we were told we had to order from a different menu instead. This second menu was never advertised or mentioned beforehand. While it wasn’t a huge issue in itself, it required everyone at the table to completely change their choices, which was frustrating and unexpected.
The problems really began with the appetizer. We ordered fried calamari, which came out in about two minutes. It was clearly undercooked, dripping with oil, and completely flavorless. There wasn’t even salt or pepper on the table, and no one came by to check on us.
For our entrées, my son and I ordered different veal dishes and my wife ordered the branzino. All of the sides arrived ice cold and lacked any seasoning. When our waiter finally came over and we mentioned it, he asked us to put the food back on a plate so he could warm it up. He later returned with a new plate of potatoes for my son, but the overall quality didn’t improve. My veal with eggplant was extremely salty, while my wife’s branzino — advertised as “cleaned and deboned tableside” — was bland and full of bones.
Service was also lacking. My soda sat empty until the very end of the meal. To make matters worse, refills were $5 per glass, which is excessive.
When the bill came, there was a 3.5% charge for using a card, which I understand. However, each meal was listed $3–$5 higher than the price shown on the menu — well beyond the stated 3.5%.
I don’t mind paying high prices for a great meal, but this experience was far below mediocre. It was genuinely horrible and not at all what we expected for a special occasion.
The food was phenomenal. My wife had the 8 oz filet which was cooked to perfection. My frutti del mare was to die for, I asked for a little extra spice and heat to be added and this dish which put it above the top. The other couple ordered the delicious salmon and the pistachio pesto which again was absolutely delicious.
Beyond the exquisite cuisine, Eric and his staff truly stood out. Extra thank you to Steven and Salvatore (aka Toto). They were not just fast and proficient, but genuinely friendly, Making us feel incredibly welcomed and well cared for throughout our entire meal.
Pepe and Sale has truly mastered the art of dining combining incredible food and unparalleled service. If you’re looking for memorable and delicious food we highly recommend this restaurant. We are already planning our next night out.
The wine tasting? PERFECTION. Every sip was smooth, rich, romantic, and dangerously good. You could taste the care and tradition in every single glass. It wasn’t just wine it was an experience. Sweet, deep, and comforting, like it was made to slow time and make you fall in love with the moment.
As someone who is from Italy, I am very picky about Italian food and this place did NOT disappoint. The food tasted exactly like home. Not “American Italian,” but real, authentic, soulful Italian cooking. The pasta was clearly homemade, soft, fresh, and cooked to absolute perfection. The sauce tasted like it had been simmering all day with love, tradition, and a little bit of magic. You can tell nothing here is rushed everything is made with intention and pride.
The scallops? Don’t even get me started. They were beyond me. Perfectly cooked, tender, flavorful, and honestly life-changing. The dessert was homemade and tasted like someone’s Italian grandmother made it just for us. Every bite felt special. Every dish felt personal. This place doesn’t just serve food it serves memories.
The staff was incredibly sweet, warm, and loving. They treated us like family, not customers. The whole night felt intimate, cozy, and full of genuine care. I felt seen, welcomed, and appreciated the entire time I was there. It was romantic without trying to be, comforting without effort, and unforgettable in every way.
If you are Italian, PLEASE come here. You will feel at home. If you are not Italian, come anyway because this is where you will learn what real Italian food is supposed to taste like. This place is a hidden gem, a masterpiece, a love letter to Italy.
Absolutely worth every second, every dollar, and every bite. I would come back a thousand times. This is not just a restaurant. it’s an experience, a feeling, a memory I’ll never forget.
