Pepp & Dolores Temporarily Closed

This is the kind of food experience this city needs. Our service was immaculate; mega props to the hard working front of house staff. As far as the food? Wow. I don't say this lightly - this is far and above some of the best food in the city. This restaurant elevates Cincinnati. The menu is tight and refined. You won't find a single dish that isn't fantastic and trust me we tried. A finer dining experience for an excellent price.

What an awesome spot!! Everything my friend and I tried was amazing. The bartender downstairs - Melissa - gave good input to help us make decisions. The fresh ricotta w/ bread was a perfect start, and the dunk bread was also a nice choice. The pesto pasta I ate was beautiful & delicious. My friends past featured lamb that was so tender & tasty. Highly recommend sitting downstairs, even at the bar. Much cozier. Good atmosphere & music. New favorite spot for girls night.

What a great experience we had for Valentine's Day here at Pepp and Dolores. The food was awesome and had several vegetarian options. The Dunk bread with dipping oil and herb mixture was probably the most interesting starter bread I've ever had. Joan and I thoroughly enjoyed this place and will return.

My husband and I had the pleasure of dining at Pepp & Delores last night. We had a wait time of 35 minutes and it was great knowing there were 2 bars to accommodate us during that time. One upstairs and one down. The wine selection is great for wine lovers as well as the food and service. We enjoyed the whole experience. We were very pleased with the prices as well. We will definitely go back!

Had the pleasure of attending the Pepp & Dolores pre-opening this week. The quality of food for the price is exceptional, and I cannot wait to come back to try more items. All pasta is made in-house, and the attention to detail is impressive. Try the homemade ricotta with grilled bread, so good!
