Peppone Restaurant

I’m giving this awesome place 5 stars not because it’s posh or some trendy, gourmet, bougie place…it’s based on. 5 star old school Naugahyde Italian place where the food is a literal delight to the palate in a way that embodies the love and time put into a traditional Italian family meal. It’s everything you want from this type of place. Parking can be challenging but we got a spot right up front The tomato sauce here is literally divine and that is the basis of good Italian food. It takes time and love there is no scrimping allowed or We got the calamari which was tender and the sauce amazing. We split a Cesar (see picts for size) which was the literal perfect flavor balance We god sand dabs and chicken piccata as the 2 main courses. The sand dabs were flavorful (I like them a little more crispy - but there are no half stars so). My chicken was delish. The martinis were literally 5 stars - perfectly balanced and ICEY which I love They don’t have patron silver - for my personally created patron martini but I now like Don Julio silver Betterso good! We ended with a tartufo for dessert which was very nice ( my husband loved it - I prefer to drink my dessert) The darling professional waiter made me the MOST magical after dinner drink: Anejo patron Expresso Tia Maria Amaretto As a martini wow! I told him to make me a magical coffee drink for dessert and bam perfecto Personal high level service and soulfully delicious food ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Old school LA celeb haunt that is so under the radar that I barely want to review it publicly. Red booths, Tiffany lamps, unbelievably good value wine menu. Go to meal: Linguine Vongole (white clam sauce). I have had literally thousands of these in my life and this hands down had the most clams I’ve ever had on this dish. The sauce is truly clam forward and it’s so good. And it’s not too garlicky which some places lean on for primary flavor. Filet Mignon Meatballs- YUMMMMMMMMM Cauliflower- it’s like poached in a crack sauce it’s so good, tender, slightly lemony, yes butter.

It was really iconic and beautiful place. I also had a wonderful time here. Romantic vibes and server with nice manner. Every food was decent, traditional homemade Italian dishes.. I'd like to recommend you to visit and enjoy!!

Amazing food and atmosphere. The best on Lamu or Manda islands.

Old school Italian place, super cute ambiance. the service was fantastic and the food was amazing. The perfect date night location. The place is pretty pricey so expect to spend a little.

Bellissimo Enjoyed the cacio e pepe I love italian food. They delivered.

Traditional delicious Italian favorites. Intimate atmosphere, good service, and great wine list.

Chill spot. Been here a few times and it’s always been kinda slow. Food is good but seems a little pricy for what it is. I had filet mignon Bolognese as well which was good nothing memorable. The spaghetti and meatballs was also OK. I did like the martinis, though. It’s a good place to try at least once.
