Waited an hour to get a refill on our water, asked for ranch dressing for calamari appetizer twice it never arrived, too much balsamic vinegar on bruschetta, Lime margarita tasted like it had straight sour mix in it with no tequila at all super sour in a super small margarita glass. Calamari, Meatballs, lasagna all tasted like had spaghetti O's sauce immediately felt like a child. Home made? I hope not. Beef was bland tasted like pepper steak meatballs, not sure what meat was in the lasagna but was like Taco Bell meat or other. Additional charges out the door from $116.20 to $144.36 for bad service and worse food we didn't eat most of it should have left. We will not be going back ever. read more

Very nice place, clean and friendly. The waitress forgot to get us napkins, she offered to bring us black pepper and Parmigiano cheese but she was polite over all we could of just reminded her it is why I gave it four stars if not I would of gave it 5 stars. We had penne ala voka and had left overs the serving size is good enough for two. I had white cranberry martini really good. read more

Surprisingly good food. Not the least expensive pizza you'll ever have, but worth the money. And yes, vodka sauce is "hella fine."

Consistent fresh food and great service. Atmosphere is awesome weather you sit at a table, a booth or at the gorgeous bar. Pizza and pasta is a GO TO for most and take out is always a great hit too. We enjoyed a chicken mozz spinach dish with generous side dish of fresh green beans and a fresh flounder dish (with green beans and baked potato) , a special of the day (pine nuts and lemon butter made this broiled fish out of this world!) Enjoy! read more

Four of us went for lunch this past Monday, July 17, 2023. It was lunch time and we were one table of three in the place that was filled. To be fair, more people came is as our wait progressed. They offered us the regular menus and a lunch special menu. Two of us ordered off the special menu and two of us ordered from the regular menu. We waited an hour for side salad and soup, and when the soup came, not only did it have no flavor, it was not hot, actually it wasn't even warm. This should have been our warning, but we muddled through. The two lunch specials were the chicken and pasta. You could pick your pasta and sauce. One of our party orders penne and the other angel hair. Both came with penne. One ordered scampi and the other ordered lemon butter. Both came with lemon butter. But the worst was the order for eggplant parm sandwich. One hour after placing my order (I could see in the kitchen and the help was eating as I waited)I was presented with a fried breading sandwich with cheese on two slices of pizza dough. There was no sauce, there was no discernible eggplant. There was the most massive amount of fried breading and dough I have ever encountered. All this for around $18.00 a person. When the waiter came and I returned the sandwich uneaten, no effort was made by anyone to find out why we were not happy. We paid our bill and left, but will not return, clearly. While we were waiting for our meal one of the other tables apparently got tired of waiting for a pizza, and when it came, they got up and left, leaving an uneaten, whole pizza sitting on the tray. So no one batted an eye, they didn't hurry to find out why the couple left, nor even remove the glaring evidence of an unhappy ending. So, the moral to this story is that no one is watching the front of the house, no one is watching the back of the house and clearly no one cares about the quality of the kitchen. read more

This is my local place to go for comfort food. Yes, it is Italian, but the burgers are great! It is known for its pizza. The staff is friendly and well trained, the food is delicious and generous of portion, most dishes can be shared or taken home for great left-overs. If you find yourself in Callicoon, NY and are hungry, this is a winner. read more

After a three day drive, finally made it back to Callicoon. Visited Peppino's for dinner. Arrived at 8:00 p.m. and the place was packed. We were seated immediately. Ordered drinks. My usual Margarita and my wife ordered an Apple Crisp Margarita. She said it was quite good. Ordered starters....bruschetta and coconut shrimp. The coconut shrimp are new to the menu. Tasted very good. For the mains, my wife ordered the veal chop and I had the chicken braciole. My wife enjoyed the veal chop. Cooked perfectly with 2 sides. She has had this before. Absolutely great choice. For me, the chicken braciole was rolled in spinach and cheese. Side of pasta accompanied the dish. Excellent choice. Kudo's to Joe and Lindsey. Amazing meal. read more

Outstanding service and THE BEST Italian food! Matt is always fantastic!! Helpful kind and caring :)) he answers phone and knows it's me & knows our go-to order - what's better than that! We've been going to Peppino's for 20+ yrs...when it was tiny shop with few booths! Enjoyed seeing growth and with same strong commitment to outstanding food & service. Just cannot be beat! Be sure to ask for Matt for take out service for big dose of helpful patience and kindness! Bon appetite fellow Callicoon friends! read more

This is the best Italian Restaurant in a 100 mile radius. The food here is outstanding. I love coming here for pizza but especially for the Italian dishes read more

Very unprofessional and rude. We couldn't even place an order due to the disrespect we received over the phone. I will never give them business and will make sure anyone I come across knows not to as well. read more

The one star is not about the food. We have been going there for years and have sent other people there to enjoy the food. This was our first visit back since the fall and we were surprised when the bill came.....12% inflation sur charge on the whole bill and we were never told up front, seems that we missed the little sign on the front door ( because we held the door open for people leaving ). We also were hit with another extra charge for them spitting a desert in the kitchen, again we weren't told upfront and it was added along with the food to the 12% inflation fee. Just felt blind sided by the extra charges. read more

The waitress had an attitude and the food was just about edible. We had great expectations but it was a big let down for Italian food. The sauce was not your ordinary Italian sauce and the eggplant was very dry. Ill take my business elsewhere. read more

Excellent pizza and very attentive service... we had a great lunch and enjoyed every bite

This is my family's go-to place for pizza when we are in the Callicoon area. I've not dined in here and have always gotten take out but boy is the pizza incredible! The staff is very friendly and the pizza is delicious, highly recommended if you're in the area and craving a great pizza! read more

We used to love Peppinos, before they moved to their new location. Now it seems as if they just don't care. My son and I suffer from a dairy "allergy". While we don't have an anaphylactic reaction, we both get severe abdominal upset and rashes. In August, I ordered broccoli in oil and garlic with chicken. I specifically requested no butter or parmesan cheese and it came with both. We hadn't ordered since until tonight. I called and asked about the meat sauce, stating we had a dairy allergy. No dairy. I again specifically requested no parmesan, and was assured there was none. There was no obvious cheese but after three or four bites, I knew there was. I called back and the same girl answered and said she checked but she would double check. She came back and said there was indeed parmesan in it. They took my name and will give me my next one free. How nice. read more

The food was amazing. Everything tasted very fresh and that is the reason we went back the second night. The first night I had the chicken special, the second night I had the chicken franchise, Wonderful dishes will be back soon. read more

Amazing pizza!!! Also the sauce.. incredible. We grabbed a slice and had it heated up.. to perfection! Great service too. Super friendly vibe. Will return :) read more

The guy in the front is Beyond rude and nasty...such a bad attitude all around. Told our friends son that he is socially awkward because he was addressing me and not him for the order. Instead of minding his business he went on and on--just and arrogant angry owner. Then went on to be nasty when I asked if appetizers can be ready before the 30 min wait. Food was blah. Fettuccine undercooked, pasta with butter which you can't mess up even if your bad had no salt and was missing Parmesan after 2 times I told him to add..When I came back to ask for Parmesan, he said it's extra. I would never come back. He is a really negative nasty person and I would feel uncomfortable ever being in that space or have my kids around someone like that. read more

Excellent service, friendly staff. My pasta was drenched in sauce and my meatballs were flavorless. My soup of the day lentils with veggies was delicious. My husband ordered one of the specials of the day "chicken sorrento" and he wasn't impressed. If I return, I will stick to the pizza! The pizza smelled delicious. This place is a hit or miss. read more

Great meatballs like grandma made. Must come when in Callicoon Good wine and full Italian menu

If staying at Villa Roma the food is the worse. THIS IS MY GO-TO PLACE FOR AMAZING FOOD. 8 YRS going and will never stop. Never a bad meal. Everything is repaired to perfection. The staff is also great. Quick service. From appetizers to the main course, you won't be sorry. I've tried everything on the menu and the specials are to die for. Order in advance the Sinatra if you like seafood. You'll love it. read more

Classic Italian and very good pizza. Nice bar, dining room and great staff.

Been coming to Peppino's for many years They have the nerve to charge a $30 charge for inflation and a $10 to use a credit card. Imagine $40 additional charge to your bill. They were better off raising menu prices. Everyone is suffering because of Biden's inflation Just not right read more

Great pizza, very good friendly and clean place..

I ate here while staying at Villa Roma! Service was great, food was good. Cream of mushroom soup is to die for and the baked clams were amazing!!! My only complaint is that our chicken tasted a little "rubbery"! read more

I USED TO LOVE LOVE LOVE Peppinos but not anymore. I placed my usual order yesterday on 8-2-19 a Large meat lovers with extra cheese. I asked to please make it well done I like my crust CRUNCHY!!. I get there and I hear the one guy with hair tell the guy the meat lover leave it in it is a well done. Just seconds after being told he pulles it out and put it in a box and cuts it up and askes me if I need help. I state my name and he asked which is my order I tell him a Large Meat Lover with extra cheese and well done. HE OPENS THE BOX AND SAYS " ITS COOKED ENOUGH"!!! I guess he wants to eat it!!.. Then he looks at the order receipt and sees that it clearly said "WELL DONE" then tells me that if I have him put it back in the oven that it will melt apart. Then the woman sees that I am disturbed and asked me if she can help I explain what occurred and she replies well he is an idiot. I responded well then IDIOTS should not have a job. She then askes me if I want her to put it on a screen and put it back in I advised her he told me it would fall apart. I took my pizza as is. I told her they will lose my business. When I got home to find an undercooked pizza that I ended up throwing away. Yes, it was a doughy mess and not fully cooked but hey it was cooked enough. Don't waste your money with this place. They don't care the option should have been would you like us to make you another or a discount on what I did not ask for. I suggest really reading all reviews before you waste your time and money with this overpriced undercooking restaurant. read more

Always delicious - especially their unique sautéed broccoli appetizer. Highly recommend!

I'm a little late in writing this- we run a restaurant a few towns over and took our staff out to dinner after a punishing weekend working the 50th anniversary of Woodstock. We felt a bit guilty rolling in with a party of 8 after being slammed ourselves, but they were so nice and accommodating. Our waitress was a doll. We ordered 7 different pastas with salads and soups and a white pie for my brother in law (and a ton of wine)..everything was absolutely delicious. Fresh and varied and made with love. They have many different desserts that I want to try but we were too stuffed, so we'll do that next time. Thank you for your hospitality and for helping us show our appreciation to our own wonderful restaurant crew. We'll be back soon! read more

Best pizza and calzone. Friendly atmosphere. We never have to wait long. If you have a wait you can sit at the bar and have a cocktail. The place is very clean and has a nice dine in area. read more

I have waited to write this review because I have always liked going to this restaurant and I was expecting a call from the owner apologizing for our treatment. Unfortunately that never came so here is my review. I called on Wednesday July 12 to make a reservation for 6 people on Saturday July 15. I specifically advised them that we would be having a wheelchair bound guest with us and that I knew it would be easy for her to gain access to the restaurant. I requested a table in the back since there are no steps. When we arrived, there was no table set up for us and after waiting we were given a table in the corner that would in no way accommodate my friend and the rest of us. While we were standing there, a large table opened up and I said that would be perfect but was told that there was a reservation for that table! I replied that we also had a reservation. Well, we ended up sitting outside, in the heat with the sun shining on us. It had to be one of the most horrible evenings we have had in a while. The waitress was not very accommodating. I had to keep asking for dirty dishes or empty glasses to be taken off the table. We ended up taking most of the food home since we were sweating. It was my friends first day out since her accident and we wanted it to be an enjoyable experience for her. It was not. The phone call that was supposed to take place after he asked for my number never came and I will not be going back. Unfortunately I am a local resident and we will now travel a little farther for our Italian fare. read more

Way overpriced for what you're getting. 3 dollars for Coca-Cola? Not even in Manhattan have I paid this much for a cup that was half soda and half ice and the waitress gives an annoyed look because you didn't order enough. I rather just buy some chips from Pecks and call it a day. read more

Pizza is meh super rude guy in the front told me to fuck off and gave me massive attitude just because I couldn't here what he said "are u deaf or something" I will see pizza crust is quite nice not coming back read more

Love the pizza. Rest of the menu is great too. Great to eat in or for take out. Staff is always nice and attentive. Bar section has TVs, but they aren't noticeable from the dining areas. read more

Havent been here in a few years. New facelift great menu and great food. We had Penne ala Vodka and a caesar salad. It was fantastic! The Waitress we had was attentive and attended to us very well. Great food! Great Service! I'll be back! read more

Not JUST a pizza place. The pie's are really good. The sandwiches are good also. They give you a good amount of product on the bread. I personally love the fried calamari. It's small, so it's mostly a takeout but the booths and tables can accommodate a few people and the staff is VERY accommodating. Prices are very good for what you get. Went there again tonight and had pasta. The portion looked okay, but there was so much left that we took the rest home for dinner tomorrow. Check out the entire menu. The place was packed tonight, Thursday, and everything we ordered was fantastic. The only thing I would add is that I just noticed it was rated $$ TWO DOLLAR Signs. Absolutely not true. Most things on the menu are inexpensive although not done cheaply. Real Food for a Real Value. read more

We have been going to Peppinos for the last two years now after moving into the PA mountains nearby there. I have to say this is a nice find for middle of the mountains and no major city nearby. We are originally from Long Island and they are food and Pizza Snobs down there. I can say Peppinos is a must try even if a little drive. The food and service are very good! Never had a bad meal or pizza here. It is a small town feel with NYC taste of Italian food. Prices are reasonable for the quality of the food. This place is a do not miss if in the mood for good Italian food. read more

Consistently good Italian food, one of the best restaurants in the area. Would eat there much more often if they posted their specials on social media-- just take a picture of the sign! read more
