    Linguini vongole
    Samantha W.

    Came here for lunch on Mother's Day with a party of 6 - the food and service were fantastic! Everything we ordered was fresh, delicious, and perfectly cooked - calamari was so tender and perfectly fried, margherita pizza crust was thin and yummy, and our main courses (pastas, chicken parm, Marsala) were excellent! Portions are very generous - we are used to small NYC portions so we ended up over ordering, but now we have yummy leftovers. Staff were friendly and attentive; the chef came out to greet us at the end of the meal which was really nice because it was busy lunch time. We'll definitely be returning customers as the food and service were amazing.

    Bianca Pizza, Half calzone

    This restaurant is a hidden gem. I am so happy that my boyfriend and I decided to check it out. The ambiance is very lowkey. When we got to the restaurant there was one other table, during our stay it filled up. Our server was sweet and attentive. We went on a Sunday and unfortunately they were out of a lot of dinner items. The food choices that we made were incredible. We started off with sausage in a red sauce and the sausage was so flavorful and moist. We could have finished the whole thing but we wanted to save our appetite for our entrees. We took it to go and it was just as amazing the next day. The half pizza half calzone was great because we got two different options. The calzone was one of the best I've ever had. The ingredients were rich and fresh. The chicken was so thin and crispy. The mozzarella was so fresh and light. The vodka sauce was to die for. It was the best vodka sauce I have had in this area hands down. The chef even came over to ask how we wanted the sausage prepared which was a personable touch. We will be back for sure. I can't wait.

    Love the food the family atmosphere and the cleanliness of the place. Nice and bright and full of life. Brick oven bread and pizza is delicious along with the chicken Milanese. They bring water from brooklyn, and you can taste the difference the specials are always so good and BYOB is awesome! Staff is attentive, will be a regular here.

    Look what they do for the coffee cream!! Whip it!! Nice!

    My husband through me a surprise party at Peppinos on Route 34 and it was fabulous. Owner and chef Vinny out did himself with amazing Italian food. We had the back space all to ourselves. The servers were wonderful so attentive and responsive to all our needs. Everyone raved about the pizza! Their servings are huge enough to share. The eggplant parm was delish. Chicken cutlet parm is a staple for me and Peppinos was right on. The fried artichoke hearts were amazing. Everyone went home with tons of food. Mmmmmm!! Thank you Vinny and crew!! Remember if you order the mixed salad ITS HUGE!! Share is the word!!

    Gr8 place. Food was delicious. They were packed on a Friday night, but the owner came out and handled everything like a true professional. There should be more restaurant owners that are gentlemen like him.

    The spicy  pizza... we love a challenge and these very spicy Italian peppers do the trick. The taste is a culinary explosion!

    Peppinos is an authentic Italian experience! Food is always fresh! Sauce is perfection! Pizza crust is simply the best! The calamari and salmon are decadent! Penne alla vodka is my favorite, Or bring your own bottle and get a cheese plate! This is the kind of neighborhood restaurant we all needed, and is fast becoming a part of the community fabric! I love coming here on a weekday night with the kids to relax and enjoy a freshly cooked meal! They are just getting started, let's give this small business some big love to do great things!

    Garlic crisps I think it's called. Better than traditional garlic bread.

    Had a great meal here. Staff was attentive and polite. Most importantly the pizza was great and the sauce was great. The sauce is the backbone to everything you do. Will be back again for sure.

    Chicken Parm

    Went to dinner here recently and Prices have gone up considerably and not warranted from this casual restaurant. Menu selections have been reduced and are now limited. Service was slow and the waitress was cold and inattentive. Food was ok nothing special. Probably the last time for us. Remember repeat customers are considered the best!

    Bowtie Vodka with peas & prosciutto. Delish!
    Priscilla M.

    Best Italian restaurant around the area! Truly authentic Brooklyn pizza & food! Specials were phenomenal. Love the fried artichokes & farfalle vodka! Desserts were mouthwatering but I was too full to order any. It's BYOB. I will be back for sure!

    Fried Calamari. Delicious!
    Tyler K.

    Just as good as the original in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. Been there twice already. I live the smell of the brick oven. Pizza is best around that's for sure. Fried Calamari is excellent. Caesar Salad is amazing. The seafood specials are delicious and fresh. Very happy this place is around. Not many great spots for Italian food in the area. Highly recommend. Great service. Make a reservation if you plan on going on a weekend.

I did however leave some photos from the past ... the food here is consistently good, every single time we visit. And not only is the food good, but the service is top notch.

It lived up to my expectations too. Oh and we started off with sharing a caesar salad which was plenty for two people. My husband had the veal parmesan, which he loved. He was ready to take home half of it, as portions are generous. He ate the whole thing ! We were so stuffed there was no room for dessert but Katie was so sweet and brought out this delish little cannoli plate with a fun "fireworks" candle. It really helped make my day special.

We ordered the Pasta Al Forno as an appetizer & Chicken Scarpariello for the main dish. Was quoted 35-40 min when I called it in, arrived ~30 min, paid & food came out near the 40 min quote. The pasta - for us the cheese on top was perhaps over toasted as it was on the dry side. Flavor was fine otherwise. Not sure I'd order this for a main dish without added protein though. The Chicken Scarp - excellent. The chicken & potatoes were very tender. The mild sausage makes this dish come together, it adds a level of savoriness to complement the balsamic sweetness in the sauce. I also like the long angled slices of sausage nicely seared on each side, it was not expected vs other versions that I've had. Meal also came with bread to soak up that chicken sauce. Also noting the place seemed packed, only 2 spots on their lot were open plus it sounded busy inside. Will try it next time onsite with one of my many fine bottles of wine. :)

We ordered the following, Gobble Gool, OG Sister's Balls, Tony's, and their famous OG Sisters Balls. All were perfectly seasoned and savory!!

We typically enjoy an early Saturday dinner so we can spend a quiet evening together. When we arrived, the restaurant was nearly empty, so we were looking forward to a relaxing meal. Unfortunately, our experience started on the wrong foot. Our waiter greeted us without a smile and seemed unfriendly throughout the evening. We ordered appetizers, but no appetizer plates were provided. We had to ask for them because it appeared we were expected to use the small bread plates. After finishing our appetizers, the dirty dishes remained on our table for quite a while, even though the restaurant was empty. We ended up drinking our wine while looking at dirty plates waiting to be cleared. The biggest disappointment came later. A couple arrived with two young children, and despite the restaurant having plenty of empty tables, they were seated directly behind my girlfriend. One child was running around on the floor while the other repeatedly banged on the booths and walls. We have children ourselves and truly enjoy being around families, so this is not a complaint about kids. The issue was that there were many other seating options available, including another dining room with other families, yet they were seated immediately next to us in an otherwise quiet dining area. When the noise continued to escalate, I politely spoke with our waiter and explained the situation. His response was simply, "What do you want me to do?" I then asked to speak with the owner, but the owner never came out to address our concerns. By that point, we had eaten only about half of our meals. We asked for the check, and only then did the waiter offer to move us. Unfortunately, by then the evening had already been ruined. We paid our bill, left the rest of our dinners behind, and left the restaurant. This wasn't the children's fault. Children will be children. The disappointment was in how the situation was handled. When customers are spending well over $100 for dinner in a restaurant that is nearly empty, they expect a pleasant dining experience and attentive customer service. A simple decision to seat the family elsewhere or a willingness to address our concern promptly could have completely changed the outcome. It's unfortunate because the restaurant itself is attractive, and the food was good. However, good food alone cannot overcome poor service and a lack of consideration for the overall dining experience. Sadly, we will not be returning.

I usually prefer lime with my water. They didn't have lime, but she did bring over lemon wedges. While waiting for our meal my company had to step out and by the time the food arrived they weren't back. I asked the sever if I could get a plate to cover their food and she was super accommodating. Upon my companies return the server, even offered to reheat the food for them, which I thought was a nice touch. We declined, but we were still appreciative of the option. My food was very delicious. The white sauce for the linguini was amazing. One of the better Alfredo sauces I've had in this lifetime. The shrimp Parmesan was so so. I felt like it could've used maybe a little bit more seasoning but honestly paired with the pasta. I had no complaints. The restaurant definitely has a family feel and I got the impression that a lot of the patrons are regulars. I don't live in the area, but if I'm ever there again, I would certainly return.
