Pepe Rosso Social

Cozy and intimate Italian restaurant with attentive staff. My friends and I went to Pepe Rosso for a get-together. We enjoyed the appetizers and the mains which were traditional cooked Italian dishes. Clams were cooked perfectly with delicious sauce, some in our group went for clam dish mains after the appetizer. One minor criticism, the burrata wasn't as flavorful due to lack of balsamic. I would recommend Pepe Rosso if you want some authentic Italian dishes.

Came here after an evening of mattress shopping in the area for some excellent Italian food! We were seated right away and had a great meal. Started with a bottle of rosé, kept it going with zucchini parm, and finished it off with penne vodka (vegetarian available upon request). Would definitely come back!

Amazing food!!! When my husband and I travel we always look for the "whole in the wall" foods. The food was rich in flavor and cooked to perfection. The gentleman serving was the owner and he was great. He talked to us, made us feel at home and made sure we had everything we needed and wanted. Cant wait to go back. Please excuse the creme brulee, it was soooooo good!!!!!

I really like Pepe Rosso Social. Some of the best food in Little Italy, although the competition is generally lacking. There are 3 other Pepe Rosso locations - I've only been to Pepe Rosso To Go in addition. Both locations have delicious food and the prices are super reasonable - moreso even because it's this part of the city. Unlike the other restaurants in what is left of Little Italy, they don't have a "Barker" outside beckoning you in. It's cozy - romantic even. I get lunch to go here often and the servings are generous. There's reasonably priced wine, quiet music and you can hear your fellow diners talking to you. Everyone I've interacted with here is super friendly, giving you glasses of water while waiting for takeout etc. Pasta dishes seem fresh and authentic. I'm somewhat perplexed by the variance in reviews here - I've had nothing but good experiences. Perhaps there are off nights or other reviewers are otherwise motivated.

First time in here for me, my friend brought me here to try their pasta and it was delicious. I had Fettuccine w mushrooms and truffle oil and added shrimp for $5 more and it was worth it. They have happy hour for wine and beer till 7 pm; my friend tried it and it was pretty good for the price. Nice, cute decor and the friendly server. Will definitely going back to try their other dish.
