Pepe Rosso To Go

Dine inside or outside at this charming Italian restaurant. Nothing jumps out from the menu- mainly dishes found at most Italian eateries. However there are number of daily specials. We tried - and loved - the Black Linguine with Seafood and the Pappardelle with Salmon, Sundried Tomatoes in a pink sauce. We also enjoyed the Buratta salad which was very fresh and creamy with just the right amount of salt. We were full so our dessert was espresso and cappuccino. Unfortunately, they were both a bit bitter.Service was amazingly prompt. No one rushed us but we were finished in under an hour. Now we can walk around the delightful neighborhood!

I've been coming to this restaurant when it was formerly a hole in the wall across the street from the new location. This is a much needed upgrade with more seating and more servers to provide great service and delicious food. I've tried various pasta dishes but my all time favorite and alongside the classic Spaghetti Meatball is the Spaghetti Bolognese.Highly recommend coming by yourself, on a special date with your partner, and large group of friends to try various dishes together

Came back for the Chicken Bacon Guacamole, it was good but the other one was better. Might just try every panini they have!

Hello this is still the best Italian restaurant in New York City and I am not joking! I AM NOT EVEN JOKING, YELP. I WOULD NOT LIE ABOUT THIS. What once was a takeaway spot has now expanded to a full size restaurant and it's all the more glorious for it. The food is as delicious as always -- literally everything on the menu, straight up. And peep that specials menu, it's got some real hidden gems. Plus the vibes here are forever immaculate. Super casual, straight forward, friendly, practical, but with food so damn good there is no event too big or small to celebrate here. Killing time before a movie? Friend from out of town? Got a raise? Five-year-old demands noodles? First date? Getting married? Divorced? Meeting a clandestine lover? Introducing the parents to your throuple? Coming down from acid? Birthday? Anything. Everything. Pepe Rosso, baby -- that's the motto I live by. Cin cin!

Heavily recommended, go to spot for locals and visitors alike. Quite convenient after a fun day of shopping around SoHo and relaxing in Washington Square park. The ambiance and service are fine but I've had much better Italian food. I ordered the massively recommended penne vodka w pancetta and it was completely bland. I put chilli flakes on it to try to taste something. Not sure if it was a bad batch or this is just what it tastes like. The pre-meal bread was also doughy and kind of cold. A skip for me.

Low-key Italian restaurant on Sullivan at Houston. Affordably priced food that doesn't lack in flavor or substance. Most of the pasta is made in house and the specials add considerable depth to the menu. Our waiter was attentive and quickly saw to our needs. House focaccia and olive oil brought my palate to life. Happy hour glass of wine in hand, I placed my food order. I started with meatballs and croquettes then moved on to penne in vodka sauce with a side of broccoli. No complaints; classic, tasty food.

I really enjoyed this place! Lowkey vibes, great wine, pasta and croquettes were great. The staff was helpful with our wine selection but it did get pretty crowded and service slowed down. Understandable for a Friday in NYC. Great prices as well!

First time here. One of the guys said to sit anywhere. The service is good and relaxed but a bit aloof, not sure how to describe it. They do have a sign which says, we don't have diet coke or skim milk or gluten free :) This kind of a sums up this restaurant. One African American left a one star review saying they don't like black people. I don't think that's true, they give equally non-chalant treatment to everyone! old school Italian owners in mid forties, two guys.Now the food --Calamari 2/5 - very chewy rubbery un edible. Chicken Milanese - 4.5/5 -- excellent. thin tender breaded chicken. large portionRigatoni with sausage - 3/5 it comes with a cream sauce, not that great in the restaurant, the sauce was runny. However next day when I reheated it, just amazing 4.5/5. I would get it to go, and reheat it later...Will return for sure! everything on the menu is under $20

Not fancy. Very laid back inexpensive authentic Italian spot. Founded by a man from Rome Italy who was fed up with not being able to find good Italian food in NYC. This place is a must. Everything was good. Check out their specials and always get the burrata!! Buonissimo!
