I went there solo so I arrived early on a weekday after opening up and before any diners arrived and the dining room felt a little stuffy to me especially when I was told no ball caps in the dining room and that's fine, I didn't plan to dine with it on. So I decided to sit outside as it was a perfect weather night for it and loved their patio. I had the beef tenderloin tips in a rigatoni pasta and vodka cream sauce that was the daily special and a side spinach salad. It goes without saying it was pretty pricey but I was very full when I exited so was happy. Service was great and very professional. As much as I enjoyed my pasta I didn't feel Peppe's made my higher pantheon list of fine Italian restaurants along with Gitto's, Marcella's and a few other Italian restaurants mostly in the city but it's high up for St. Louis County Italian places and top notch.

The portions were huge (I wish they could have an option to get half of the amount). Service was great, staff was nice and gave us bread for the table. She also came to check in on us a bunch of times. The restaurant itself is tiny so it gets loud and crowded. Getting into the lot was a bit tricky though so watch out for that. Would most likely come back and try the other food but maybe not any time soon.

The menu is straightforward with something for everyone, with a decent variety of salads, pastas, entrees, and Neapolitan style pizzas. I always appreciate a one-page menu, knowing that what they do, they do very well. They also had specials which sounded great. Prices are not bad at all for a nice sit-down lunch in 2026. The decor is simple, but still warm and inviting, with a view into the kitchen area. I ordered the Campagnelle Alfredo (with no mushrooms). It was excellent! Friends ordered the risotto special and the pizza and both were very happy also. The staff members were attentive and friendly from the moment we walked in. The host even asked us the name of our friend who was running late so that he could seat her when she arrived. These little things really are nice and added to our experience of feeling welcomed. I can't wait to come back for a glass of wine!

If you've never tried toasted ravioli, you haven't lived. This is a great place to go to try it. I could eat it until I no longer fit in my pants! They really should have a plus sized clothing department right there in the store as some people are going to need it. Oh, and they have great pizza, too. You can try the St Louis style with provel (which I really like), but I'm pretty sure they have a mozzarella option, too. I've also tried their salads in the past and really enjoyed them. One day, maybe I'll get to try one of their Italian dishes. The place is a bit unusual in its look and structure. If you are going to get a table and eat, go in through the back door. There are some areas that look like smaller rooms, and then there was a larger room where we ate. It's all enjoyable, though. I also want to say that our waitress there was one of the most outstanding waitresses that I've ever seen. She was very friendly and helpful. It definitely added to the experience. I just don't think people realize how good St Louis food is! This is a prime example. Unless you really don't like Italian food (in which case, what's wrong with you?), go eat here!

First time in and I was impressed. Had driven by many times on Manchester and wondered what the…read moredeal was with this always packed place. Well we went on a weekend for dinner and it's clear why there are crowds here. The two of use arrived about 6pm on a Saturday and had to wait about 30 minutes for a table -- they don't take reservations for small groups. Turned out to be fine as we found a seat near the bar and got to watch the World Cup game as we had a drink. We were on the patio, this was June, and it's a really neat space as they can adjust the room to be more open or closed depending on how the weather is. Was an interesting feeling, felt like we were inside but with a nice breeze. For food we got the toasted raviolis to start, each of us got a salad, for entrees we got chicken parm and the rigatoni allá vodka with shrimp. They also gave complimentary bread that was very nice. I especially enjoyed my rigatoni allá vodka but everything was delicious and reasonable my priced. Food all came out fast and service was quick and friendly.

We went for their happy hour (Tuesday-Friday 3-6PM) and got Toasted Ravioli and Toasted Cannelloni for $7 each. We thought it would be a better deal than it was because the proportions were pretty small for what it was. We thought it was a bit strange that they didn't have a drink menu- he said they just had house red and white. I would've liked to see them, or at least a price or what kind of red and white they were. Big bar but again no drink menu. The food was ok but nothing amazing, just a step above a freezer and oven taste for me. It was an ok experience, definitely not bad but not somewhere that I would want to come back to- ok food, meh ambiance, nice waitstaff, which was the redeeming factor here.

We requested a quiet table which the hostess had acknowledged when we got there so she selected a table for us stating that it would be quiet. Only for 15 minutes into the meal, a table of eight were seated right behind us, including a baby. It became very loud and difficult to hear our conversations. Our waiter Steve was obviously new. He was extremely quiet hard to hear and very nervous and unconfident of himself had to look up several things and ask other people questions and got back with us. when we ordered our food and we received it, my friend had asked what was inside of her chicken dish and he did not know And had to go ask, and the answer still was very uncertain and did not look like what it should have according to the menu. The food itself was OK but really honestly nothing to rave about haven't been to the restaurant in years and we were excited about celebrating a special birthday and we were all very disappointed not only in the food, but the atmosphere and the quality of service we received. At this point, I would not recommend it again, unless the owners would like to call me and explain why we experienced what we experienced. My name is Karen and our reservation was for July 9th at 5:30. Hopefully the owners will call us back. The overall experience was very much below our expectations.
