Piripi

Delicious tapas and a good selection of wine and spirits. We ordered the scallops which were perfectly cooked and dressed with a tasty but not overbearing sauce, the pulpo was also perfectly cooked, so delicious we ordered a second. Clams and mussels were served in a yummy broth--not too salty yet flavorful--and served with toasted bread that tasted homemade and fresh-baked. Hummus was good too. Meatballs were average. The dessert, chocolate cookie bed with espresso chocolate pie was not good--tasted grocery store with Hershey sauce--so I would not order that next time. Service was great--friendly and helpful. Nice patio and plenty of natural light with beautiful pictures on the wall of the team's home countries. We ate early so not much ambiance yet, but it was picking up when we left. I will certainly return.

This is a great place. Excellent food (don't miss the scallops!), lovely atmosphere, super nice staff. The wine is just ok, and sitting outside is nice at first, but the sun gets pretty intense in the evenings, despite the shades being down.I will be back. This was an excellent dinner. But I'll probably sit inside next time.

Oh my goodness, let me tell you about the absolute gem that is Piripi in downtown Erie - it's like stepping into a whimsical, gluten-free wonderland! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with the most incredible service that made us feel like we were the stars of our own little fairytale. And let me just say, the gluten-free options at Piripi are nothing short of a dream come true - 100% of the tapas were gluten-free, making it a gluten-free Mecca for all us gluten-sensitive foodies out there!Now, let's talk about the mouthwatering tapas that stole the show. The charcuterie board was a delightful mix of flavors and textures that had us coming back for more, the burrata was a creamy, cheesy dream, and the olives were like little bites of salty perfection. And can we just take a moment to appreciate the outdoor seating area balcony? It was like dining in a charming, secret garden - the perfect spot to enjoy our gluten-free feast under the sun or stars. Piripi truly captured our hearts with its cute and eclectic vibe, outstanding service, and delectable gluten-free offerings. It's a must-visit for anyone looking for a magical dining experience in downtown Erie! #GlutenFreeWonderland #CharmingEats

Located in Old Town Erie, Piripi offers an upscale experience with a cool Mediterranean vibe. The staff are friendly and the food is good. While the menu is expansive, we visited on a hot summer day and enjoyed the salad options. It's worth noting that the falafel is excellent and can be ordered with salads or as a side.

We came here for Valentines Day and overall had a wonderful experience!We had reservations so not sure what the typical wait may be but I recommend making one just in case! Customer service was great, our waiter was super kind and attentive. The ambiance is very cute and cozy! The tables are pretty close together so it may be difficult to get items like walkers or strollers through the aisles. The lighting was dimmed later the evening got which was very nice!!The food is pretty great!! They offered special valentines menu which had a few entrees, dessert, and drink options. We both got steaks which were good cuts and cooked well. (I highly recommend getting the Spiced Apple Mule ;)) We finished with crème brûlée for dessert and oh was that delicious! Pricing of the food is on the higher end and overall I'm still contemplating whether it was worth it or not. However, the experience was great and the food was good! We would probably return!

Absolutely love this place! Came for dinner on a Saturday. Thankful to make online reservations. They staff was very friendly and attentive and helpful. The decor was cozy. Very awesome the food is 99% gluten free. Made ordering and sharing food at our table super easy. I highly recommend eating here and I hope to be back! Don't forget dessert!

We were excited to try this restaurant in downtown Erie which is a really charming location. Parking is a little difficult, especially if you're there during the majority of business hours.We snagged a reservation about 15 minutes before and were so glad we did because there were people waiting when we got there and by the time we left the line was wrapped around the top floor. To get to the restaurant on the second floor, we took a small elevator that was very slow and a little sketchy and made scary noises- not the sketchiest elevator we've ridden in but we were definitely ready to get off. There was an accessible bathroom on the first floor next to the elevator, with a fairly heavy door. To start the service was fantastic- everyone from the host to the waiter to the busboy. Our biggest complaint is that the space was too crowded- they tried to cram too many tables into a small area to the point where an entire table had to move for the people at the table next to them to get up. This was especially challenging for us with one wheelchair user. Multiple people had to move for us to be able to get through. The hallway to the bathroom was also blocked off for anybody using a wheelchair or walker by having a table placed in the space. Otherwise, according to the non-wheelchair user of the group, the hallway would have been accessible and the bathroom would have been spacious with a light door and a large bathroom stall and reachable soap. Would have been great if we could have gotten to it. We enjoyed the multiple nonalcoholic options on the drink menu. Most of the menu is gluten free. We started with burrata with balsamic and a green sauce- everything was good but the green sauce was a little overpowering which hid the flavor of the burrata. We also had a Caesar salad- the dressing was delicious and the greens were fresh, heads up it was heavily decorated with anchovies which could be a plus or minus depending on your palate. For our main course we had the chimichurri steak with potatoes, carrots and broccolini, which was the star of the night. The chimichurri was delicious. We also got the homemade fetuccini with the basil cream sauce- the sauce was a little underwhelming, and the chicken could have used a bit more flavor. By the bathrooms, there is a cute little play room for kids with arcade games and toys, probably best for ages 8 and under. The prices seemed a little high- it was $115 (without tip) for two nonalcoholic drinks, two appetizers, and two entrees. We would consider going back for lunch when the prices are more reasonable- and it would hopefully be less crowded

My husband and I came here the other night and my salmon was part raw and smoochy!! Gross . The waitress said well it is sashimi grade . Hmm I didn't order Sashimi ! They offered nothing , not even to cook it longer . That was a waist of 38$! They don't. Care about customer service apparently.

We had the good fortune to sit on the outside patio on an overcast Colorado summer evening. The service was moderately attentive though the food was great. Everything we tried was on point.

The food was cooked nearly perfectly expect for the pulpo, which was over cooked. But, the table service was poor. Not bad, but poor. Orders were forgotten, water was not replaced, cutlery had to be requested, and we had to ask for our food at least twice. We had higher expectations for the place, the kitchen did its part, but the service staff dropped the ball.
