Recently had a family dinner at Pepe’s and it was wonderful! Delicious food and great attentive service by Tigerlily. Particularly recommend the calamari and the Nonna pizza, and hope to eat here again next time I’m in Melbourne. Thanks for the lovely dinner.

Made a reservation for Saturday for lunch at 12pm, got my seating pretty quickly as we got there. We were taken care by Amelia and she was just fantastic! Service by the other waitresses was very good too. We ordered 3 entrees. 3 mains, 2 beers , 2 cocktails and our bill was only approx $300, prices were decent! Ambience was also fantastic, very instagramable indoors and outdoors. We will definitely be back!

Very disappointed after picking this place for a birthday dinner, we left almost 50% of the food. Our pizza was extremely wet, the dough paper thin in the centre but with a thick crust (somehow?). The Wagyu pappardelle tasted of butter and that’s about it, and a lot of the pasta was clumped together in solid chunks. We planned to order desert and more drinks but didn’t want to risk wasting further money after the food we received. We also waited 20 minutes to be brought food menus and order drinks, despite plenty of waiters walking by empty handed. The venue is really beautiful though, so if you want to take some pictures for social media I recommend it lol

If you told me this was in Melbourne, I wouldn’t have believed you! Stepping into the location felt like I was back in Europe, it was one of the prettiest parlour I’ve been in a while! But pretty interior aside, their foods were equally delicious! Pepe’s have always been famous for their pasta but Pepe’s parlour specialises in sandwiches every weekdays 12-3PM! We got to try their La Porchetta sandwich which had a really crispy pork crackling with nicely cooked meat, cheesy flavour from the mozzarella and strong herbs aftertaste as well! The mushroom melt had such a well cooked mushroom, it was soft and melts in your mouth. We also really enjoyed the salad as we’re not usually big fans of pumpkin but were surprised how good it tasted because of the seasoning. The skewers were also juicy and savoury! Considering the size of the sandwiches, I’d say it’s very much worth the price as it can definitely be worth 2 meals! 🐷 La Porchetta Sandwich ($19) 🍄 Mushroom Melt Sandwich ($17) [V] 🐮 Meatball Sub Sandwich ($18) 🍢 BBQ Chicken Skewers Salad ($28) 🍝 Baked Spicy Rigatoni Vodka ($32)

Amazing experience!! From the moment we entered Pepe's we had a warm welcome, and were seated in a cozy spot along the booth. Our waitress was attentive but not overwhelming. The decor and ambience felt like a cozy chalet heightened by the lovely moody lighting. Although all the food was delicious we especially loved the garlic and butter Focaccia, pumpkin filled pasta cones and both desserts DELICIOUS. Highly recommend the toffee pudding and filled donuts. Will definitely be going back to Pepe's!
