A friend from work who lived in the area wanted to thank me for helping him out & took me here for dinner. (7pm on a Friday in July) I was able to find a parking space around the corner but could tell parking could be difficult in the area. This place must get pretty busy, they had a bunch of benches outside in a covered space for those waiting for a table. Luckily there was no wait when we arrived & were shown to a table immediately. The restaurant has jockey jackets & pictures of race horses everywhere. I guess because it’s close to a race track. We had the mozzarella and roasted peppers with tomato & baked clams as an appetizer. Then spaghetti with bolognese sauce and chicken parmigiana for the main. The waiter was very polite and professional. The food was pretty pretty good as well. The bill came to $165 including a bottle of house red. ($200 with tip) Not the a bad place to have dinner if your in the area.

Real Italian family style food. Must have the linguine with white clam sauce and the Veal Don Peppe. The house red wine is great.

Fantastic old school spot. I like the menu on the wall. Service was very good, our server made recommendations and we got a great meal. Still ended up with leftovers despite tried my hardest not to fill up on bread haha. The shrimp Luciano was fantastic, my bf was sopping up the sauce with bread. We didn’t get it as a pasta because we got the white clam but boy do I wish we had, so good! 26 dollars for the house wine so you can know. Did annoy me that there no prices for that. The baked clams were very good but I prefer traditional clams in wine sauce over baked but if you like baked you’ll love. The white clam sauce was so so good. Must order. The veal eggplant was also quite good. First time trying and I enjoyed, I would probably do chicken or beef next time though, so much looks good. Now I have to knock a star if a place is cash only in 2025. I only had 200 cash and I felt bad I couldn’t tip our server more. He was great. Don’t know if this is on purpose but there were only male servers. Can’t wait to return and the location is so convenient for me for once ! MUST DROP A STAR IF YOURE CASH ONLY IN 2025

Every time I go to Don Pepe, I’m always impressed with the service, it is consistent. The staff is very friendly, professional and accommodating, the food is outrageously delicious and the deserts are top quality. I highly encourage everyone to try Don Pepe, I promise, you will be very happy you did.

Growing up and going to la parma in long island, this was a welcome nostalgia hit. Good service and didn’t try to upsell us on food. Cash only and emptied out the wallet which was only thing stopping us from tipping even more on the friendly waiter.
