Such a wonderful experience altogether. The atmosphere and the food was amazing! My Penne Vodka was cooked to perfection, the desserts were awesome, and the service was on point. Will definitely come back and I highly recommend to friends and family. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
My daughter and I found this gem last July while we were searching for places with bottomless mimosas and we were not disappointed!!! We purposely went again this past Sunday while in the city and once again we were impressed!!! Exceptional service, great food and affordable selections!!! This place has became a staple in our NYC trips!!!
I really like Pepe Rosso Social. Some of the best food in Little Italy, although the competition is generally lacking. There are 3 other Pepe Rosso locations - I've only been to Pepe Rosso To Go in addition. Both locations have delicious food and the prices are super reasonable - moreso even because it's this part of the city. Unlike the other restaurants in what is left of Little Italy, they don't have a "Barker" outside beckoning you in. It's cozy - romantic even. I get lunch to go here often and the servings are generous. There's reasonably priced wine, quiet music and you can hear your fellow diners talking to you. Everyone I've interacted with here is super friendly, giving you glasses of water while waiting for takeout etc. Pasta dishes seem fresh and authentic. I'm somewhat perplexed by the variance in reviews here - I've had nothing but good experiences. Perhaps there are off nights or other reviewers are otherwise motivated.
Amazing food!!! When my husband and I travel we always look for the "whole in the wall" foods. The food was rich in flavor and cooked to perfection. The gentleman serving was the owner and he was great. He talked to us, made us feel at home and made sure we had everything we needed and wanted. Cant wait to go back. Please excuse the creme brulee, it was soooooo good!!!!!
Came in here with a party of 12. Friendly service! Wait staff was relatively attentive. We shared some appetisers. Burrata with prosciutto was the high light. I ordered the lamb shank with gnocchi. I felt it was a little dry but the gnocchi was perfectly done. Would come again.
Cozy and intimate Italian restaurant with attentive staff.
My friends and I went to Pepe Rosso for a get-together. We enjoyed the appetizers and the mains which were traditional cooked Italian dishes.
Clams were cooked perfectly with delicious sauce, some in our group went for clam dish mains after the appetizer.
One minor criticism, the burrata wasn't as flavorful due to lack of balsamic.
I would recommend Pepe Rosso if you want some authentic Italian dishes.
It was a great experience. Waiters did everything short of chewing your food. It was expensive but we'll worth it. Lunch specials and weekend brunch specials had a much better price but came at the wrong time. Still very good and authentic.
This was the restaurant we chosen when visiting Little Italy. What a great choice it was. Delicious pasta and the bread w/ garlic was divine.
Only good food here ;)
Excellent place to go for a good meal at a very affordable price (you get quality food and it's not expensive). Be sure to order the big pitcher of wine as it's a bang for your buck.
I got a special that was a seafood marinara. A lot of good seafood on a smaller bit of pasta than I would have liked. The sauce was a spicy marinara with roasted garlic that was good, but a bit bland. The cheese was powdered, but it worked with my dish. The ambiance was nice, but only one end of the bar was open and a lot of next to each other couples seating.
Came here after an evening of mattress shopping in the area for some excellent Italian food! We were seated right away and had a great meal. Started with a bottle of rosé, kept it going with zucchini parm, and finished it off with penne vodka (vegetarian available upon request). Would definitely come back!
Great food great service. The atmosphere is super cute. Had football on while we were there...just like Italy. I would recommend and will go again.
