Bidrage med feedbackI dined here on a Wednesday night with a friend. We booked ahead (a must for this place) and were seated immediately. I find the menu is more designed to share so that 's what we did. We ordered an array of dishes:<br/ 'pane fritto, anchovy ' (anchovy on crusty bread thing) what a way to start, so much flavour. Could have eaten 10 of them.<br/ 'Caponata ' I really enjoyed this. A mixture of roasted veggies with currents and capers. <br/ 'Prosciutto Toscana ' bit more self explanatory. Flavoursome cured meat served with crustini sticks<br/ Tagliatelle, pork ragu, ricotta not your average pork ragu. I was blown away by this dish, was not what I was expected at all. Would have happily devoured just this.<br/ John Dory 'Al Cartoccio ' Fish cooked in paper with zucchini and puree. So much flavour and fish was cooked perfectly.<br/ Pepper Al Forno a perfect side dish to go with our main. <br/ Panna Cotta Yum. Got the wobble right and I loved the tartness of the sauce on the bottom<br/ Rhubarb, Zabaglione cream A good combo of sweet, savoury and tart flavours. Points for presentation too. <br/ <br/ We also tried some of the wines. I tried my first ever orange wine which was refreshing. Overall, we really enjoyed our time at Don Peppino 's. I liked the ambience of the restaurant too, natural light and decor.
Great fresh good. Make sure you get the garlic bread. Service fantastic too. Great late night spot.
Went with my family to celebrate my birthday on Saturday night. Being a new establishment there aren't many reviews to go off and I wasn't quite sure if the venue would be kid friendly given I have a 4 and 7 year old. Anywho, I took the gamble. <br/ <br/ I can only comment on our experience. <br/ <br/ Once you walk up a couple of flights of steps, we were greeted with a friendly smile and shown to our table. Our host for the night was Sam. <br/ Sam was fantastic. He took the time to explain pretty much every item on the menu then gave us a few minutes to decide on what we would like. The way Don Peppino's is structured, the meals are meant for sharing. So don't go expecting big serves of pasta. In fact there were only 2 types of pasta on the menu. So Sam helped us with our ordering. To be honest, we were trying things we probably would normally skip. But we were glad we tried them as they were really delicious. The kids loved the Pane Fritto Anchovy, Tonnarelli and we all loved the lamb rump. Just beautifully cooked, juicy and tender. Roast potatoes were outstanding, nice and crunchy. <br/ Apart from the food, the reason for writing a review and giving this venue 5 stars was really the service we received from Sam and Ava. <br/ Sam really interacted with our kids which they loved. He took time to entertain them even when it was busy. My daughter ended up drawing a picture of Sam and Ava on the paper Sam provided.<br/ Both kids got their drawings stuck on the mirror behind us. <br/ Overall, Sam was great with the friendliness, service and knowledge. We really felt he went above and beyond which added to the amazing experience of the night. <br/ To top it off, and I was really blown away by this as it's never happened to me before, Sam organised a mandarin cup with a candle on it, all the lights went out, music stopped in the restaurant and I had everyone singing happy birthday to me, including other guests. <br/ So we had a great experience with great food and great service. A truely memorable night. <br/ Highly recommend!
What an absolute gem of a place wonderful food, friendly staff and such a unique atmosphere. Loved every moment and morsel. We shall return!
Omg finally been. Unreal garlic bread. Monte Bianco literally made my eyes watery as that amazing it was. Thank you! <3
