Peppino's In Callicoon

I have formally dined, casually dined, and ordered take out countless of times over the years at Peppino's. They always provide great meals. It's always a gourmet treat to go there. Joe and Lyndsey work very hard to provide this great place. They are also a major employer to the area keeping many people gainfully employed. I've had conversations with the head chef and can tell that the staff is very passionate about providing great food. The fried calamari, grilled octopus, grilled veal chop(The Big Chop), salads with chicken and jumbo shrimp, chicken marsala, and double shrimp w/garlic pizza are my favorites. The portions are huge and we always have another meal of leftovers the next day! Don't forget the deserts--they are fresh and delicious too. I've recommended many clients and customers to eat there over the years and have always had solid positive feedback from them. I rate this restaurant very highly and feel lucky that we have such a fine place in our little hamlet of Callicoon!

We arrived in Callicoon for a three day vacation with no plans, no reservations, and no direction. We needed a quick, hot meal and the hotel suggested Peppino's. Wow. The homemade lasagna was AMAZING. We also had a couple small salads and the baked cheese tortellini. SO good. Mili was terrific and offered a few suggestions for a couple confused tourists and we were very appreciative. Thank you for the excellent meal! 10/9/23 - Receipt #152233

Such a beautiful place! We made phone reservations about a half hour before, and we got seated right away! I ordered a blackberry lavender lemonade off the special drinks menu and it was delicious. They gave us bread immediately, and took our orders, me and my fiancé ordered penne alla vodka with grilled chicken and a Caesar salad. the dressing tasted homemade and was incredibly tasty, and the penne, oh the penne!!! the vodka sauce was so good we asked if they sold it by jar! they gave us such large plates, and i took home a whole second meal, my fiancé managed to eat most of his lol. All in All, i didn’t have a single bad experience or even mediocre bite in this place. Absolute perfection.

Was very satisfied with the fare, service and atmosphere. I had the chicken parmigiano and it was outstanding, ample and presented beautifully. There are many Italian dishes on the menu which I'll explore with my taste buds upon my return visits because the food is too delicious to let my pallet go without trying. Besides the selection of entrées, there's many other choices. They've pizza, calzones, strombolis, hot & cold subs and salads galore. There's also outside seating for warm weather dining. Definitely worth a visit.
