Big fan of this place. Had several dishes here always above average and every server I've had here has been wondeful.

This place astonishes & pleases us every single time we go--it really is a top notch restaurant. Friendly staff, great cocktails, very delicious food. They had several spritz cocktails available, and they are so good & refreshing in hot weather! Mine was great. We shared the arancini, which was quite large & very good--the red sauce it was on was a little spicy & really suited the arancini. Loved it! I had Ravioli stuffed with shrimp & scallop with clam & white wine sauce , which I'd had several weeks prior, & really hoped was still on the menu, as they do seasonally change it up. It was so delicious! I ate & savored EVERY bite. My husband had the short rib ragu, Paccheri, they generally have some variation on this dish & he just loves it. The meat was fall apart tender & the sauce was a little spicier than it is sometimes, but he loves it that way. We also shared a desert that was wonderful--cream puff type pastry (choux) strawberries & cream. Beppe is a local favorite for us--always a stand out great meal & great service! read more

I'm here for a special event. Unfortunately, it did not live up to its high reviews. Its menu was simple and consisted of only one page of food items. It is definitely a 3 $$$ price point. We got the paccheri, crudo, chicken Milanese, Michigan greens. The crudo was probably the best dish, as it contained sushi-grade fish and shellfish delicately plated in a light and green sauce. It came with a cornbread, which paired well with the raw seafood dish. The rest of the items we got were just sub-par or par. The Michigan greens unfortunately just taste like an ordinary salad, with the exception of fennel. The ravioli was average, although they prided themselves that it was homemade pasta. The short rib ragu was unfortunately too salty, not because of the pasta but because of the slow-cooked beef. We even asked them to remake it, and it came out just as salty, meaning it was for sure the beef ragu that was the culprit. The chicken was ok, but it was just a piece of fried chicken breast. The greens underneath it were interesting, but they do not justify the price point or the originality of the dish. The service was good, and they did make every effort to satisfy whatever needs we had. It was pretty packed and it definitely had an upscale feel, but unfortunately did not live up to its hype. read more

Came here for a girls night and we had a wonderful time! From the first steps in the interior feels cozy and intimate, yet still modern upscale. We had a kind server who guided us through the menu and kept us from over-ordering, and we ended up sharing some appetizers, salad, fries, and a pasta. Everything was so delicious! I ended up returning on Father's Day and enjoying the outdoor dining area. Everyone loved their meals this time as well! Beppe is definitely a local favorite. read more

Beppe was highly recommended to me during my stay in Royal Oak. The restaurant was extremely accommodating for my large, party of 10 reservation. The waitress was extremely patient with our large group and many requests. Especially when it came to ordering drinks. The pasta selections were amazing, with the risotto being the star of the show for me! The gnocchi melted in your melt. The beat salad and tuna crudo were the freshest starters. For our large party, the price of the meal was pretty reasonable, especially considering all of our drinks. I would definitely recommend this cozy, local spot next time you're craving some Italian or just in town! read more

How nice to be so warmly welcomed at this local spot! Everyone seemed very happy at Beppe tonight. Staff was very knowledgeable about ingredients and cooking temps. Very attentive staff and bartender made fantastic drinks. Happy hour was a nice intro into this spot. Fries and garlic aioli were delicious! read more

Yum yum yum! Came here for a friend's bday and left with a new favorite place! The burrata and prosciutto were creamy and salty and paired so perfectly with their homemade sourdough. Couldn't decide between the burger and the bucatini so had to get both. And they did not disappoint. The bucatini was creamy and has the perfect mushroom umami flavor. Burger was perfectly cooked and a great staple. Service was a smidge slow and we waited nearly thirty min for drinks and dinner lasted almost two hours so be prepared to be there a bit read more

I have not dined in Royal Oak in years, but I did not anticipate the changes to an area I used to know, like the back of my hand. Beppé is one of the newer additions. At lunch, the restaurant was nearly empty, which, frankly, was great for enjoying a meal leisurely. Beppé has been on my list since it first opened. But with the reduced lanes on 696 and a general focus on at-home dining, my friends and I just had not made it here. The restaurant has a few distinct areas: a bar, a dining room, and a large patio. I liked the room's spare aesthetics. It felt very comfortable. The menu was equally spare. For lunch, there were a few starters, sourdough bread, fries, and cucumber and arugula salads. Other items on the menu include chicken sandwiches, burgers, fish and chips, and a few pasta dishes. Since I had been having pasta all week, I went with the fish and chips and congratulated myself on a great choice. The fish was coated in a nice, crispy batter (not the dreaded breadcrumbs) and served with a homemade tartar sauce. However, the fries were the main attraction. They were crispy and tender, paired with a curry-flavored mayo. OMG, they were fantastic. I savored every crunch, eating very slowly to luxuriate in every bite. Ketchup, mayo, or tartar sauce - the fries tasted so good, no matter the condiment. A restaurant that takes the time to make these fries AND sauces deserves consideration because it speaks to a quality ethos in the kitchen. Service was very friendly. There is a private lot, but it fills up quickly. read more

Small but cozy restaurant with a charming outdoor patio. The staff was friendly and attentive, which made for a pleasant experience. I was really looking forward to trying their gluten-free vodka rigatoni that I saw on Yelp, but it seems the menu has changed and it's no longer available. The closest option was the casarecce, which, while appreciated, needed a lot more seasoning to bring the flavors to life. The tagliatelle was also a bit under-seasoned and could have used some chili oil or spice to enhance it. Overall, it's a cute spot for a date night or a casual dinner out. I'll definitely give it another try and explore other menu items. It might just be that I didn't pick the best options this time. I also appreciate that they offer gluten-free pasta, as that's a huge plus for someone like me with a gluten intolerance. It's nice to have an option where I can still enjoy pasta again! read more

Today was homecoming day with my girlfriend and I was on the hunt to take her to a very nice and expensive place, and I really thought I found the one. It was either that or Bella Limone, and after what they did to Pinkies I don't have the heart to go... At least not yet. But let's focus on Beppe. Spectacular interior, super kind staff and we actually happen to be the first people there upon opening on Saturday. We walked in 10 minutes before they were serving food, and both the hostess and our waiter reminded us very warmly. I absolutely love the vibe, the menu screamed "overpriced garbage" but I was still curious. I ordered a Shirley Temple, it was 10 dollars. Actually, it might've been 8 dollars. I took a picture of the receipt so I could show you the prices. I will admit though, that was easily one of the best Shirley Temples I ever had, especially for something that's traditionally just Grenadine and Sprite. By the taste, I'm confident they simmer their Grenadine in cherries for an extra pop. Very clever. Ravioli came out and I must say, although the pasta itself is quite authentic and delicate, the marinara truly ruins the entire experience. I felt quite ill when eating it. Yeah, it's that kind of pasta. We got another entree, however I forgot the name of it; I believe it was a confusing Italian word. Similar to my last dish, the pasta itself is very nice, the noodle is incredible and freshly chopped and grated with LOVE. But the texture and rawness of the ingredients isn't quite appetizing, I would rather get something simple. Let's move on to the greatest part of the entire night. The Tiramisu was 16 dollars, easily the most expensive Tiramisu I've ever had. Not saying it's supposed to be cheap, but good lord it better be worth two full orders of Mickey D's To-GO! Biting into the Tiramisu is like gnawing your teeth into genuine greatness. I absolutely adore the taste, and the texture is so satisfying. I save the in-jokes for outside of Yelp, but I'm just gonna say it; It was quite literally a taste-gasm. The dreamy creamy flavor compliments its GORGEOUS technique with the eggy, delicious white whip that is just LEAKING out from the side of the darn thing. What a fabulous dish, and probably one of the only things I could say is definitely worth the money. A desert to remember. Although two of the most expensive entrees I've ordered in a lifetime not only set back a lot of the expectations I had, but set back my bank account. I knew what I was getting myself into, so I'll leave my complaining to rest for the next time I'm craving overpriced Italian food. The good out-ways the bad in my opinion, especially with how everything turned out. Me and my girlfriend made the best out of everything we could, it started to rain so we got under the only table that didn't pour onto us. It was such a scene scented with fresh fallen water, I can just imagine the feeling in my head. Even though it had its setbacks, Beppe reminds me of the true reason I am so passionate about my genetically rooted cuisine; the greatness of gathering family and appreciating each others company, regardless of how the food may taste, is a feeling that's priceless in it of itself. I liked Beppe, and I will never come back again. 3/5 read more

Have wanted to visit this spot since they opened. Came early on a Saturday without reservations. There are three seating options: bar, indoor, and outdoor. We wanted to sit at the bar which was full. Didn't take long for it to turn over. Grabbed two bar seats which were in the center of everything. Very lighted, busy, and loud. Our server and bartender, Bianca, was pleasant but very busy. Never got water refills but realize she was making drinks for the whole restaurant. Usually sitting at the bar gives you the best service, but not always the case. Drinks were okay. Ordered the hana town and golden era. Both a little sweet and unbalanced. One too booze forward and the other too mixer forward. Highly disappointed that there is no vegan main pasta dish. The executive chef suggested their gluten free pasta with red sauce. After perusing the menu, I would suggest a delish dish with maitake, lentils, peas and homemade pasta. There is a seared cauliflower and gigantic bean salad (minus parm) that are veganish. Ordered both. Portions are small, but they were edible. Still super surprised the chef wouldn't offer or create a better main with ingredients already on the menu. It's pasta and veggies served at a premium. Easy, but not here. Meat eaters will delight in all the animal dishes on the menu, but this isn't a repeat place for me. Get reservations if you're coming. It's small and busy. On the plus side, they have a parking lot and free side street parking. read more

This is a great spot for small groups or date nights! We thought our drinks were fabulous. The service was quick and attentive. It's always a nice touch when they change out silverware between courses. Overall the food was good but not insane. The burger really needs a different bun and was very heavy on pickles to the point it only tasted like pickles. I'd say the most notable were the french fries..maybe the best in the Detroit area read more

We enjoyed Beppe. The food was very good, the hamburger was tasty and fries were amazing. We also enjoyed the crudo. It was light, fresh and a good balance go the heavy burger. Knocked one star because the service is a bit strange. We checked the reservations a couple hours before and they had multiple of them open. We showed up to them telling us they don't have any availability and we have to sit at the bar. The restaurant was half empty for our entire meal. Very strange to deny a table with open reservations and open tables. read more

The food was good! The service was quick and kind and the vibes were on point. I definitely want to go again and try their pasta. I loved the arancini and would recommend it to everyone! The fries and aioli were soo delicious and the Caesar salad was good, it was missing that bit of acidity and cut that most Caesar salads have. I liked the look of the big croutons and the addition of the egg for some extra protein. Overall, super great meal and I hope to come back again soon! read more

Great time at Beppe. The restaurant was smaller than I imagined, but it was a comfortable space, and we were able to sit at the bar without a reservation. The food was delicious and very flavorful. The lamb belly had bold flavors, the beet with feta cheese was whipped to perfection, and the squid ink pasta had a great kick to it. The drinks were amazing too! Will definitely be back, as they mentioned they often change their menu. Can't wait to try other dishes. read more

Location can be everything at times, conveniently located in the opposite direction of the main street and overwhelming amount of traffic and hustle to find parking spot. Beppe with its own little patio and own parking lot stands out. Nice ambiance. Came on Thursday evening to celebrate our friends bday, place was busy that gave me good hopes. The food was hit and miss, odd twist on the classic Caesar salad with runny eggs and tomatoes made it almost uneatable due to the saltiness either cheese or dressing we couldnt figure it out. Tartar that my friend had looked and tasted great. My friends halibut was nicely cooked, the burger seemed dry. I had braised beets and feta app, I liked it. The service was a bit odd, after my friend returned the salad due to saltiness the server did not ask if she can get her anything else just stared and left. The menu and the place gave me mixed feeling I think I will wait on coming back here. read more

Been coming here since they opened and it never disappoints. The menu changes frequently which is great because I love trying new things. One thing that does seem to be a staple on their menu is the caponata app which is delicious and shouldn't be missed. read more

A nice place to check out in Royal Oak - it's not big inside but does have a good size covered outside seating area. Menu is not big but what we tried, for the most part was good. Feta with beets was good and came with a side of baguette. Good size to share. Same goes for cauliflower appetizer. Halibut dinner was just right though portion is on the smaller side. So if you are hungry - add an appetizer with it. One dish nobody in my party liked was beppe's version of a Caesar salad. It was too salty, had boiled eggs in it and another unidentified vegetable I think I "fancy" olive that was also very salty. The chocolate cake though made up for it! Delicious and big enough to split. read more

Super pleased with my dining experience here! My friends and I came for lunch on a weekend and we were the only ones here. I don't think many people know they are open for lunch because it is only a weekend thing. During the week they are only open during dinner service. The vibe of this place is so cute and i imagine their patio is super nice to sit on during the summer time. Our waiter was great and the perfect amount of attentiveness. The Caesar salad was awesome. Literally so good and a great portion size. I loved the soft boiled eggs and huge capers in it. Definitely one of the better Caesar salads I've had in my life. I also had a side of their fries which were extremely fresh and tasty. The garlic aioli served with it was a good sauce but literally so garlic-y so def have a piece of gum or a mint handy afterwards haha. One thing I thought was weird was that they marked some items on their menu as dairy free which is great because my friend is dairy free but when she ordered one of these items she was told that the bun had dairy in it. Weird that they would mark it as dairy free when it's not but just a heads up for others to double check food items if you have dietary restrictions! read more

We were a little late to our reservation but the restaurant was very understanding of our circumstances. We got to sit outside and although we didn't need it, they did have some heat lamps if it got too cold.

Came here on a snow day at 7pm and good thing we did because we got seated promptly. It did fill up quickly tho. We were greeted warmly and got a booth. Waitress was very friendly and very attentive. We got 3 appetizers: The braised beets with feta was hands down the star. Do not skip this one! Best word to describe it is 'refreshing.' Even the crackers that it came with was so good. Not so crispy so that it cracks when you bite it hurting your hard palate; it was actually ever so slightly soft that it was pleasant in the mouth. They kindly gave us extra crackers when we ran out. The Caesar salad is good, thoughtful. It was drowned in Comte cheese. It gave a salty taste that overpowered the dish a little. I enjoyed the little gems though. But I love me a caesar salad and even though it may sound basic to order at a restaurant like this, I like to try everyone's take on an American classic. The short rib croquettes were good too. Very moist inside. Paired well with the chili aioli and au jus sauce. For entree we got scallops and wagyu. The scallops were delicious and very good size. It was on a bed of squid ink risotto also cooked to perfection. Wagyu ribeye cap good too but wasn't amazing in my opinion. Glad we came here! recommend! read more

My friends and I met here for lunch on a Saturday, and it was great! We were able to walk in and be seated right away. The atmosphere was nice, and the server was very attentive. For my meal, I went with the Caesar salad and a side of the fries with aioli. The Caesar wasn't traditional, but it was delicious nonetheless! My friend with a dairy allergy was able to comfortably eat here, which is always a plus. The restaurant was able to accommodate her allergy; however, an item on the menu that was marked as DF actually had a bun with dairy in it. Thankfully my friend asked about the item was able to avoid the bun/dairy, but just as a note to others with allergies, make sure to ask regardless! P.S. one of the best things about this place was the parking lot in the back. Any place that lets me avoid paying for street parking is a bonus in my book read more

Beppe - Empty SOS - New American Near Me - Royal Oak, Michigan

Beppé was unbelievably underwhelming. Based on the high praises and glowing reviews, I was excited to check it out, especially after a long day of traveling. The restaurant was packed near closing, which my party took as a promising sign, however our food turned out severely underseasoned. My burger and fries needed more salt, the caponata quickly lost its appeal after the first bite, and aracino tasted like crunchy, bland goop. In addition, our menu frustratingly lacked vegetarian options, a surprise for my table because of how commonplace dietary restrictions are now. read more

Overall, I wasn't super impressed by my lunch at Beppe. My husband and I split a Caesar salad, and it was tasty. I would probably order this again if I came back. I liked the dressing and capers, but I could have done with a different cheese. Also, the eggs were cooked past the point of jammy. For my main course, I order the spaghetti, which was purported to have clams on it. There were only 5 tiny clams, and two of them did not have a good flavor. The sauce was in desperate need of salt. Finally, the service was so slow! Needless to say, I wasn't thrilled by my visit. read more

Beppe has quickly become my favorite restaurant in Royal Oak. They are located a short walk from downtown and they have a private parking lot (huge bonus).

Additionally, their cocktails are really well thought out and amazing. read more

Lovely little place just north of downtown Royal Oak. The menu is creative and changes often, and everything I've ever had there tastes fresh and delicious.

Quaint and modern little spot. I had a reservation for my husband's birthday. We shared the steak tartare and braised beef apps. Both were delicious. Nice just and flavor with the tartare. The whipped feta with beets was smooth and delicious. I got the scallops and risotto. The risotto Nero was interesting. I don't know if they added cheese but there was almost a smaller gelatin consistency. Scallops were nicely seared. Other main was the tagliatelle with lamb ragú. It had a nice hint of spice and the fresh pasta was evident. Dessert was a VERY rich chocolate ganache-like dessert with small malt balls on top. There was a hint of thyme which was a good contrasting flavor. Server was attentive and kind and gave us time. read more

Showed up around 745 and asked for a table of 4, only had to wait 10-15 mins for a table which is rare in royal oak! It was a warm night so they had the patio open (which is decorated very cute with twinkle lights and has heaters) so I'm not sure how they operate during the winter. The host was very kind and welcoming. They have a rotating menu but it would be nice if their website was updated when the changes are made. I was eyeing the short rib before coming so was disappointed to see that it was rotated off of the menu when we got there. The cauliflower dish was probably the best roasted cauliflower that I've ever had. It came with this cashew sauce, dates, mint and lemon. The nuttiness and citrus was an unexpected but delicious pairing. I got the steak tips appetizer for my meal and it was a perfect amount for me. The steak was cooked well and I liked the savory sauce that it was in & it came with these fried mashed potato balls, something I've never had before. We finished with the deconstructed apple pie. There were some baked cinnamon apples at the bottom, topped with vanilla ice cream and a puff pastry. I liked the flavors but the ratio was off, it needed more of the apple filling. My friends got the white fish dip which was extremely salty. They also got the rigatoni which they loved but the sausage was a tad spicy. read more
