    We stopped in here by accident and so glad we did The staff was excellent and the food was great It was slow at the time so we were treated quite well We ordered meatballs so yummy and italian smash which my husband devoured We plan to go back

    Solid Italian restaurant. Cute vibe. Attached to a hotel which can always feel a little less-than but they did well to make it feel separate and still restaurant-y. Focaccia was good but would have preferred traditional butter over their hot honey flair. Did the bolognese and would recommend. Didn't skimp on meat sauce. Pizza was also wood fired and good. A solid 4.

    Staff were amazing. Very helpful, polite and professional. Ambience is quaint and quiet. However it had 4 large tvs on the walls, so a quiet place to eat, but still able to watch the game. I liked it. Just different from the Italian restaurants we were used to. Cocktails were priced right and both very good. Meatballs for appetizers were very good. You get 3 meatballs and the sauce is fabulous. Entrees were plentiful and full of flavor. Short rib special was great. Pasta and peppers were a big hit also. Met the chef on the way out and she was kind to stop and share about the food. Valet parking offered, but a parking garage next to was just as easy. Will definitely go back.

    I really wanted to like this place but the food is not seasoned at all. I've tried the Caesar salad and the gemelli and spice. Salad had barely any dressing, no cheese, and the croutons were soft. Gemelli and spice had maybe one tiny pepper but otherwise very bland. I will give them a try once their pizza oven is back up. But it seems to have been down since the first week they opened. Ok service. The inside is Instagram-y but left me lacking.

    Rounded up from a 7/10. I had high hopes but was a bit let down by this place. The service was good and the inside was cute. I just think the menu needs some work. The pizza oven was down, which I knew about in advance and I appreciate them texting me to let me know prior to the reservation. I figured I'd be fine with the pasta. However, I ordered the Cacio E Pepe and wasn't really a huge fan. It mostly tasted overwhelmingly of oil and pepper. Definitely needed a little more cheese to balance it out. The portion size was good. This is usually one of my favorite dishes but I would not order it again unless they revised the recipe. My friend got the Gemelli and Spice and I believe hers was better. If I return, I'll probably try the pizza. I also thought the menu just needed a few more options in general, as it's pretty small. The drinks were also pretty expensive at $16 and there were only 3 cocktails to choose from. I ended up ordering a cocktail off the menu. I hope this place can make some needed adjustments and would be happy to return if they update a few things. Also would love if they had parking suggestions on their website. All of the lots I'd planed on parking in were blocked off or full and I ended up parking under the Reds stadium, so I'd give yourself extra time to get to your reservation if driving in.

    This place has potential to grow . It's in the downtown banks area. It's not terrible but not great. It's small and I will say nice, but reservations will be needed as it picks up. I had the casarecche with ricotta hold the sausage. It was just okay .i had to add pepper to the pasta. They will have the oven going for the pizza starting next week so I didn't get to experience it yet. It's a well decorated space and I can see hosting a a party here if the food improves . They have valet and street parking. I will try it again but they have a few kinks to work out.

    Located downtown at 3rd and Main, this is an italian restaurant located downtown. One disappointment was a listing for lunch and dinner for Restaurant week and only dinner was offered. Service was slow for lunch time. They didn't have a bottle of wine listed on the menu ( of all wines not to have, a Sangiovese). No big deal but still not a good thing. Note to manager on that as well. The bolognese was pretty good, and the casarecce and spice was good as well. The pasta seemed a little undercooked but was still tasty. They take reservations and parking on street or nearby garages.if you do decide to dine here, they offer 1/2 plate and full plate orders... a full will feed two people.... or one BIG guy. One last mention... when my wife made the reservation, she noted this lunch was for my birthday. It was probably overlooked . Heck, as I said before, not a big deal .

    We went to Trecento for lunch on their opening day, we did not have to wait long for a table & I did enjoy the open door concept - perfect for a nice day! 2 friends and I split the Caesar salad, half order of cacio e Pepe, wood-fired pizza, and fries. It was a great amount for us! The half order of cacio e pepe is very generous and really was the star of the show- it was so good. The Caesar salad was nicely dressed/had a good amount but I wish it had a little more flavor- the croutons were great though! The wood-fired pizza may have been a teeny bit under cooked in the middle but it honestly was still really good! We had a great experience- I am looking forward to coming back in the future as I know opening day is always hectic but they did a great job!

My husband and I went to dinner for our 10 year anniversary after a very difficult week for our family, and we were honestly too emotionally drained to make decisions. Our server, Jasmine, kindly took the reins and chose our meal for us -- which turned out to be the best decision we could have made. Every single dish she brought out was phenomenal. We started with the artichokes, arancini, and whipped ricotta -- each one better than the last. Then came the lemon pasta, spicy vodka pasta, shrimp, spaghetti and meatballs, and veal scallopini. Everything was absolutely delicious and clearly made with so much care. By the end we were so full we couldn't even attempt dessert. What made the evening truly special, though, was the kindness of the team. Levi, the GM, went so far out of his way to make us feel cared for and welcomed during a moment when we really needed it. The warmth and compassion we experienced there meant more than I can adequately put into words. Restaurants often talk about hospitality, but the team at Pepp & Dolores truly embodies it. Thanks for an evening we will never forget.

It's a nice vibe, though definitely on the darker side. I ordered the black kale salad, cappellacci (short rib, shallot, thyme), and the branzino. * The kale salad was solid, but a bit heavy on the pecorino. * The cappellacci was decent, though the accompanying elements didn't quite work for me. * The branzino was cooked well, but overall the dish didn't stand out in flavor. In general, the food felt underwhelming for the price. My bill was around $100, and I didn't feel the quality or flavor justified it. Some dishes came across a bit muted -- not sure if that's the intended style, but it didn't land for me. Parking in the area was also a bit inconvenient. Overall: great ambiance, but the food didn't meet expectations for the cost. I probably wouldn't return.

Because it is so exxxxxxpensive, this is not a restaurant you casually dine at. But since it was my sister's Bachelorette weekend, my group of 7 treated the bride-to-be to a luxurious dinner here in May 2026. And she had a wonderful experience! The interior is gorgeous, elegant, and smells amazing. The staff is professional and runs with the efficiency of a Michellen-starred restaurant. I always enjoy watching a staff of 7 deliver the table their food like they are performing a choreographed dance. I ordered the cheapest drink on the menu - a yummy local beer from MadTree for $7. The others had much more expensive cocktails that were $20+. You won't have to worry - while their food menu is small and selective, the drink menu is HUGE. They surprised us with glasses of in honor of my sister's upcoming nuptials. That was a lovely treat! I kept to being a cheap-o and ordered the $18 "Arpege" salad as my main. It didn't have any meat but it had a lot of cheese! Yum! Others ordered more substantial mains like the scallops, the beef tartare, the halibut, etc. All were plated beautifully. I had a bite of the bolognese, and while a small portion, it was superb. You do have to pay for bread service but it is unlimited refills so on $8, the 7 of us went through 6 loaves of bread and 6 trays of delicious salted butter. I personally probably had 2 loaves on my own. My god, it was the best thing I ate the entire trip! After we ate our mains, we then ordered a variety of desserts. Most of us got ice cream (get the strawberry!!). My sister and another girl got the famous "candy bar" dessert and the cheesecake. I had a bite of the candy bar and for $15, it was the most dense candy bar ever! Sooooo much chocolate! I'll end here but with tax and tip, we paid about $630ish. My portion was $51, by far the lowest of the group. I got out relatively cheaply because I filled up on bread but feel free to treat yourself and indulge a bit more!

Everybody, each member of the staff was fantastic. The pomme soufflés are out of this world. They are such a treat. We always love their Hamachi, specially, when they have it with the grapefruit and slivers of jalapeños. Right now they have a truffle Hamachi, which was really fabulous as well. Their foie gras torchon is also exceptional. We cannot wait for them to bring back the cod in buerre Blanc sauce. But last night we opted for the hamburger, which is quite the treat there. If you are a bourbon drinker, you should try their buffalo trace single barrel right now. My husband thought it was more delicious than most other buffalo trace, more of a cherry and vanilla hint. Anyway, we had a perfect night.

Our reservation was at 7:30 and we arrived around 7:25. When we got there I noticed the table near the chef's counter was still occupied, but we weren't too concerned since the party already had their to-go bags on the table. About 15 minutes passed and they ended up ordering dessert (slowly), so it became clear they weren't leaving anytime soon. The manager offered us a different table and apologized, but Lola had been really looking forward to the chef's seating since that's specifically what we reserved. In the end we waited about an hour, which was frustrating, especially since the other party could clearly see we were waiting. Overall it was an awkward situation to be in. That said, the staff handled the situation very kindly. The manager offered Lola a tour of the kitchen and the chance to meet the chef. My daughter was a little nervous and wanted me to go with her, but it seemed like the invitation was meant just for her and they didn't want adults in the kitchen (I get it!). The manager noticed she was scared and took her hand and walked her through the kitchen which made my daughter feel at ease. It was a thoughtful gesture and they were incredibly apologetic the whole time. Again, it was just an awkward situation overall. Plus we were starving. The food, however, was fantastic. The pasta was made from scratch and tasted incredibly fresh. The eggplant parmigiana was excellent, and I especially loved the "Via-misu."

If it was just for service, it would be 5 stars for sure. I look forward to returning!
