Peppone - Los Angeles

Been coming here for years and it is as good as always. Old School Italian at it's best. Perfect restaurant for that special occasion.

This place used to be fabulous. My salad came out drenched in oil, so not a Caesar salad with wilted greens. My salmon was so so the bread was great and I got a Telya all in all I was very disappointed. I saw many people not finished their food and the clams were terrible. Oh my God it tasted like they were old like old Ned. ! for $300 for the dinner it wasn’t worth but about 30 !!!bucks. Never going back maybe for a glass of wine and that’s it ! Baltaire is way better!!!!!

Food was more expensive that other restaurants at the same caliber. However the portions made up for it as it was far larger than you would get a restaurant like E- baldi or Il pastio in Beverly Hills. The staff where very friendly and the food was exceptional. The waiter named Arturo was especially nice.

I’m giving this awesome place 5 stars not because it’s posh or some trendy, gourmet, bougie place…it’s based on. 5 star old school Naugahyde Italian place where the food is a literal delight to the palate in a way that embodies the love and time put into a traditional Italian family meal.It’s everything you want from this type of place.Parking can be challenging but we got a spot right up front ?The tomato sauce here is literally divine and that is the basis of good Italian food. It takes time and love? there is no scrimping allowed or ?‍We got the calamari which was tender and the sauce amazing.We split a Cesar see picts for size which was the literal perfect flavor balance ?We god sand dabs and chicken piccata as the 2 main courses. The sand dabs were flavorful I like them a little more crispy but there are no half stars so?‍? . My chicken was delish.The martinis were literally 5 stars perfectly balanced and ICEY which I love They don’t have patron silver for my personally created patron martini but I now like Don Julio silver Better???so good!We ended with a tartufo for dessert which was very nice my husband loved it I prefer to drink my dessert The darling professional waiter made me the MOST magical after dinner drink:Anejo patronExpressoTia MariaAmarettoAs a martini??????wow! I told him to make me a magical coffee drink for dessert and bam ???perfecto?Personal high level service and soulfully delicious food

Great old school Italian but a little pricy and hard to find a parking spot. Food really good though so will be back.
