   Love this restaurant! Pasta is so delicious and the house made ricotta is pretty amazing too.

   Pepp and Delores is subpar in my opinion. I expected a really nice meal based on the difficulty in getting a reservation. I ordered the Limone pasta. The waiter mentioned they serve everything al dente. My pasta was barely cooked. Perhaps this is what they consider al dente... I would consider it chewy and starchy. I couldn't eat it. Our main meal also took 1&1/2 hours to come from the time of our reservation. There are several wonderful Italian options in Cincinnati. I would go elsewhere. I won't be back.

   The bread service, specifically the ricotta, was the best part. From there, things went downhill. The pasta dishes were cold and the pasta itself was nearly raw (not al dente as I understand they typically serve it). Service was good at the beginning, but we only saw our server twice after the bread service. It seems that once they are done trying to scam you into ordering more food than you can eat, they no longer care. Overall, the experience was lackluster and I will not be back.

   The whole experience was amazing. Food was delicious, from the moment we got there, everyone was so attentive and made us feel welcome. Delicious wine, great service and incredible dishes.

   Exquisite. Simply the finest meal I have had in ages. Michelle was adept and courteous. She really helped facilitate the best possible time. We had many yummy things but my favorite was the spicy vodka penne. The house limoncello was another favorite. If we weren’t moving to Seattle we would come every weekend. The amaretto cookies they give at the end were a lovely treat with my coffee this morning. Peace and blessings yall!

   This place is just perfect. You can't go wrong with anything on their menu. The house red is great. The eggplant starter was fantastic!

   We have been trying to get a reservation for a long time. We had a great time. The food was great and reasonably priced. It was very crowded and noisy but the service was good and we can’t wait to return!

    Absolutely amazing. We’ve been wanting to come here for a long time and finally made it. From the atmosphere, to the service, to the food, everything was perfection. We started with The Dunk. Then we each had a salad. I had The Gem and my husband had the Antipasto. Then for our entrees, I had the Limone. The sauce is to die for. He had the Sunday Sauce and was very impressed by the pork shoulder in it. I cannot wait to go back and try new things as everything on this menu looks so good.
