    Very cool and comfortable place. Service was top shelf. Ask for Darla. The apps were awesome- have some ricotta for sure. A top 3 operation in Cincinnati

    My husband and I always love our meals at Pepp and Dolores. Our favorite is the ricotta and bread appetizer. We absolutely love it. We shared a Gem Salad with a citrus dressing. We would prefer a little less lemon flavor in the dressing, but the salad was delicious and easily sharable. We shared the pasta with Sunday sauce, and it was delicious. We'd prefer that the pasta would be more cooked than al dente, but we think that this style is probably typically Italian. We believe that you can't go wrong with anything that you get at Pepp and Dolores!

    Simplest way to summarize is that this restaurant is my favorite restaurant in Cincinnati. Great food, great service... and the fried artichoke cannot be truly appreciated without trying it. Thank you.

    Was hoping it would be excellent. I’m sorry to say we were disappointed. We arrived a bit early and had a drink at the bar. When we were seated for dinner we were enjoying our time. First had the ricotta. That was excellent. We ordered a meatball, veal, and our pastas, the lemon and the squid ink. Meatballs were good. The veal was deep fried, and not so good. Our pastas were homemade noodles and fair at best. We have recently traveled to Italy. They are not authentic and not so good in our opnion.
