Came here for a girls night and we had a wonderful time! From the first steps in the interior feels cozy and intimate, yet still modern upscale. We had a kind server who guided us through the menu and kept us from over-ordering, and we ended up sharing some appetizers, salad, fries, and a pasta. Everything was so delicious! I ended up returning on Father's Day and enjoying the outdoor dining area. Everyone loved their meals this time as well! Beppe is definitely a local favorite. read more

Yum yum yum! Came here for a friend's bday and left with a new favorite place! The burrata and prosciutto were creamy and salty and paired so perfectly with their homemade sourdough. Couldn't decide between the burger and the bucatini so had to get both. And they did not disappoint. The bucatini was creamy and has the perfect mushroom umami flavor. Burger was perfectly cooked and a great staple. Service was a smidge slow and we waited nearly thirty min for drinks and dinner lasted almost two hours so be prepared to be there a bit read more

I have not dined in Royal Oak in years, but I did not anticipate the changes to an area I used to know, like the back of my hand. Beppé is one of the newer additions. At lunch, the restaurant was nearly empty, which, frankly, was great for enjoying a meal leisurely. Beppé has been on my list since it first opened. But with the reduced lanes on 696 and a general focus on at-home dining, my friends and I just had not made it here. The restaurant has a few distinct areas: a bar, a dining room, and a large patio. I liked the room's spare aesthetics. It felt very comfortable. The menu was equally spare. For lunch, there were a few starters, sourdough bread, fries, and cucumber and arugula salads. Other items on the menu include chicken sandwiches, burgers, fish and chips, and a few pasta dishes. Since I had been having pasta all week, I went with the fish and chips and congratulated myself on a great choice. The fish was coated in a nice, crispy batter (not the dreaded breadcrumbs) and served with a homemade tartar sauce. However, the fries were the main attraction. They were crispy and tender, paired with a curry-flavored mayo. OMG, they were fantastic. I savored every crunch, eating very slowly to luxuriate in every bite. Ketchup, mayo, or tartar sauce - the fries tasted so good, no matter the condiment. A restaurant that takes the time to make these fries AND sauces deserves consideration because it speaks to a quality ethos in the kitchen. Service was very friendly. There is a private lot, but it fills up quickly. read more

Small but cozy restaurant with a charming outdoor patio. The staff was friendly and attentive, which made for a pleasant experience. I was really looking forward to trying their gluten-free vodka rigatoni that I saw on Yelp, but it seems the menu has changed and it's no longer available. The closest option was the casarecce, which, while appreciated, needed a lot more seasoning to bring the flavors to life. The tagliatelle was also a bit under-seasoned and could have used some chili oil or spice to enhance it. Overall, it's a cute spot for a date night or a casual dinner out. I'll definitely give it another try and explore other menu items. It might just be that I didn't pick the best options this time. I also appreciate that they offer gluten-free pasta, as that's a huge plus for someone like me with a gluten intolerance. It's nice to have an option where I can still enjoy pasta again! read more

Today was homecoming day with my girlfriend and I was on the hunt to take her to a very nice and expensive place, and I really thought I found the one. It was either that or Bella Limone, and after what they did to Pinkies I don't have the heart to go... At least not yet. But let's focus on Beppe. Spectacular interior, super kind staff and we actually happen to be the first people there upon opening on Saturday. We walked in 10 minutes before they were serving food, and both the hostess and our waiter reminded us very warmly. I absolutely love the vibe, the menu screamed "overpriced garbage" but I was still curious. I ordered a Shirley Temple, it was 10 dollars. Actually, it might've been 8 dollars. I took a picture of the receipt so I could show you the prices. I will admit though, that was easily one of the best Shirley Temples I ever had, especially for something that's traditionally just Grenadine and Sprite. By the taste, I'm confident they simmer their Grenadine in cherries for an extra pop. Very clever. Ravioli came out and I must say, although the pasta itself is quite authentic and delicate, the marinara truly ruins the entire experience. I felt quite ill when eating it. Yeah, it's that kind of pasta. We got another entree, however I forgot the name of it; I believe it was a confusing Italian word. Similar to my last dish, the pasta itself is very nice, the noodle is incredible and freshly chopped and grated with LOVE. But the texture and rawness of the ingredients isn't quite appetizing, I would rather get something simple. Let's move on to the greatest part of the entire night. The Tiramisu was 16 dollars, easily the most expensive Tiramisu I've ever had. Not saying it's supposed to be cheap, but good lord it better be worth two full orders of Mickey D's To-GO! Biting into the Tiramisu is like gnawing your teeth into genuine greatness. I absolutely adore the taste, and the texture is so satisfying. I save the in-jokes for outside of Yelp, but I'm just gonna say it; It was quite literally a taste-gasm. The dreamy creamy flavor compliments its GORGEOUS technique with the eggy, delicious white whip that is just LEAKING out from the side of the darn thing. What a fabulous dish, and probably one of the only things I could say is definitely worth the money. A desert to remember. Although two of the most expensive entrees I've ordered in a lifetime not only set back a lot of the expectations I had, but set back my bank account. I knew what I was getting myself into, so I'll leave my complaining to rest for the next time I'm craving overpriced Italian food. The good out-ways the bad in my opinion, especially with how everything turned out. Me and my girlfriend made the best out of everything we could, it started to rain so we got under the only table that didn't pour onto us. It was such a scene scented with fresh fallen water, I can just imagine the feeling in my head. Even though it had its setbacks, Beppe reminds me of the true reason I am so passionate about my genetically rooted cuisine; the greatness of gathering family and appreciating each others company, regardless of how the food may taste, is a feeling that's priceless in it of itself. I liked Beppe, and I will never come back again. 3/5 read more

Have wanted to visit this spot since they opened. Came early on a Saturday without reservations. There are three seating options: bar, indoor, and outdoor. We wanted to sit at the bar which was full. Didn't take long for it to turn over. Grabbed two bar seats which were in the center of everything. Very lighted, busy, and loud. Our server and bartender, Bianca, was pleasant but very busy. Never got water refills but realize she was making drinks for the whole restaurant. Usually sitting at the bar gives you the best service, but not always the case. Drinks were okay. Ordered the hana town and golden era. Both a little sweet and unbalanced. One too booze forward and the other too mixer forward. Highly disappointed that there is no vegan main pasta dish. The executive chef suggested their gluten free pasta with red sauce. After perusing the menu, I would suggest a delish dish with maitake, lentils, peas and homemade pasta. There is a seared cauliflower and gigantic bean salad (minus parm) that are veganish. Ordered both. Portions are small, but they were edible. Still super surprised the chef wouldn't offer or create a better main with ingredients already on the menu. It's pasta and veggies served at a premium. Easy, but not here. Meat eaters will delight in all the animal dishes on the menu, but this isn't a repeat place for me. Get reservations if you're coming. It's small and busy. On the plus side, they have a parking lot and free side street parking. read more

Been coming here since they opened and it never disappoints. The menu changes frequently which is great because I love trying new things. One thing that does seem to be a staple on their menu is the caponata app which is delicious and shouldn't be missed. read more

This is a great spot for small groups or date nights! We thought our drinks were fabulous. The service was quick and attentive. It's always a nice touch when they change out silverware between courses. Overall the food was good but not insane. The burger really needs a different bun and was very heavy on pickles to the point it only tasted like pickles. I'd say the most notable were the french fries..maybe the best in the Detroit area read more

We enjoyed Beppe. The food was very good, the hamburger was tasty and fries were amazing. We also enjoyed the crudo. It was light, fresh and a good balance go the heavy burger. Knocked one star because the service is a bit strange. We checked the reservations a couple hours before and they had multiple of them open. We showed up to them telling us they don't have any availability and we have to sit at the bar. The restaurant was half empty for our entire meal. Very strange to deny a table with open reservations and open tables. read more

The food was good! The service was quick and kind and the vibes were on point. I definitely want to go again and try their pasta. I loved the arancini and would recommend it to everyone! The fries and aioli were soo delicious and the Caesar salad was good, it was missing that bit of acidity and cut that most Caesar salads have. I liked the look of the big croutons and the addition of the egg for some extra protein. Overall, super great meal and I hope to come back again soon! read more

Great time at Beppe. The restaurant was smaller than I imagined, but it was a comfortable space, and we were able to sit at the bar without a reservation. The food was delicious and very flavorful. The lamb belly had bold flavors, the beet with feta cheese was whipped to perfection, and the squid ink pasta had a great kick to it. The drinks were amazing too! Will definitely be back, as they mentioned they often change their menu. Can't wait to try other dishes. read more

Stopped in to meet a friend for dinner.This was my first time at Beppe. It's a quaint spot, rather small on the inside. The menu is limited, but they offer unique appetizers and entrees.

Location can be everything at times, conveniently located in the opposite direction of the main street and overwhelming amount of traffic and hustle to find parking spot. Beppe with its own little patio and own parking lot stands out. Nice ambiance. Came on Thursday evening to celebrate our friends bday, place was busy that gave me good hopes. The food was hit and miss, odd twist on the classic Caesar salad with runny eggs and tomatoes made it almost uneatable due to the saltiness either cheese or dressing we couldnt figure it out. Tartar that my friend had looked and tasted great. My friends halibut was nicely cooked, the burger seemed dry. I had braised beets and feta app, I liked it. The service was a bit odd, after my friend returned the salad due to saltiness the server did not ask if she can get her anything else just stared and left. The menu and the place gave me mixed feeling I think I will wait on coming back here. read more

A nice place to check out in Royal Oak - it's not big inside but does have a good size covered outside seating area. Menu is not big but what we tried, for the most part was good. Feta with beets was good and came with a side of baguette. Good size to share. Same goes for cauliflower appetizer. Halibut dinner was just right though portion is on the smaller side. So if you are hungry - add an appetizer with it. One dish nobody in my party liked was beppe's version of a Caesar salad. It was too salty, had boiled eggs in it and another unidentified vegetable I think I "fancy" olive that was also very salty. The chocolate cake though made up for it! Delicious and big enough to split. read more

Fab menu. Very unique dishes. Best burger on the planet! . Great service. Excellent quality meat.

Super pleased with my dining experience here! My friends and I came for lunch on a weekend and we were the only ones here. I don't think many people know they are open for lunch because it is only a weekend thing. During the week they are only open during dinner service. The vibe of this place is so cute and i imagine their patio is super nice to sit on during the summer time. Our waiter was great and the perfect amount of attentiveness. The Caesar salad was awesome. Literally so good and a great portion size. I loved the soft boiled eggs and huge capers in it. Definitely one of the better Caesar salads I've had in my life. I also had a side of their fries which were extremely fresh and tasty. The garlic aioli served with it was a good sauce but literally so garlic-y so def have a piece of gum or a mint handy afterwards haha. One thing I thought was weird was that they marked some items on their menu as dairy free which is great because my friend is dairy free but when she ordered one of these items she was told that the bun had dairy in it. Weird that they would mark it as dairy free when it's not but just a heads up for others to double check food items if you have dietary restrictions! read more

We were a little late to our reservation but the restaurant was very understanding of our circumstances. We got to sit outside and although we didn't need it, they did have some heat lamps if it got too cold. The service was quick and excellent, I thought they were efficient and checked in with us multiple times. The food was delicious! Overall, I feel that Thai food tasted better and is more cost friendly than any of the other Italian restaurants I've been to including She Wolf. I would definitely come back and bring friends here. read more

Came here on a snow day at 7pm and good thing we did because we got seated promptly. It did fill up quickly tho. We were greeted warmly and got a booth. Waitress was very friendly and very attentive. We got 3 appetizers: The braised beets with feta was hands down the star. Do not skip this one! Best word to describe it is 'refreshing.' Even the crackers that it came with was so good. Not so crispy so that it cracks when you bite it hurting your hard palate; it was actually ever so slightly soft that it was pleasant in the mouth. They kindly gave us extra crackers when we ran out. The Caesar salad is good, thoughtful. It was drowned in Comte cheese. It gave a salty taste that overpowered the dish a little. I enjoyed the little gems though. But I love me a caesar salad and even though it may sound basic to order at a restaurant like this, I like to try everyone's take on an American classic. The short rib croquettes were good too. Very moist inside. Paired well with the chili aioli and au jus sauce. For entree we got scallops and wagyu. The scallops were delicious and very good size. It was on a bed of squid ink risotto also cooked to perfection. Wagyu ribeye cap good too but wasn't amazing in my opinion. Glad we came here! recommend! read more

My friends and I met here for lunch on a Saturday, and it was great! We were able to walk in and be seated right away. The atmosphere was nice, and the server was very attentive. For my meal, I went with the Caesar salad and a side of the fries with aioli. The Caesar wasn't traditional, but it was delicious nonetheless! My friend with a dairy allergy was able to comfortably eat here, which is always a plus. The restaurant was able to accommodate her allergy; however, an item on the menu that was marked as DF actually had a bun with dairy in it. Thankfully my friend asked about the item was able to avoid the bun/dairy, but just as a note to others with allergies, make sure to ask regardless! P.S. one of the best things about this place was the parking lot in the back. Any place that lets me avoid paying for street parking is a bonus in my book read more

Beppe - Empty SOS - New American Near Me - Royal Oak, Michigan

Beppé was unbelievably underwhelming. Based on the high praises and glowing reviews, I was excited to check it out, especially after a long day of traveling. The restaurant was packed near closing, which my party took as a promising sign, however our food turned out severely underseasoned. My burger and fries needed more salt, the caponata quickly lost its appeal after the first bite, and aracino tasted like crunchy, bland goop. In addition, our menu frustratingly lacked vegetarian options, a surprise for my table because of how commonplace dietary restrictions are now. read more

Overall, I wasn't super impressed by my lunch at Beppe. My husband and I split a Caesar salad, and it was tasty. I would probably order this again if I came back. I liked the dressing and capers, but I could have done with a different cheese. Also, the eggs were cooked past the point of jammy. For my main course, I order the spaghetti, which was purported to have clams on it. There were only 5 tiny clams, and two of them did not have a good flavor. The sauce was in desperate need of salt. Finally, the service was so slow! Needless to say, I wasn't thrilled by my visit. read more

Beppe has quickly become my favorite restaurant in Royal Oak. They are located a short walk from downtown and they have a private parking lot (huge bonus). The restaurant itself is beautiful and the patio is perfect for a summer dinner. The service is always friendly and informative. Their menu changes frequently but staff always knows their stuff. As for the food, everything I've tried has been delightful. Their scallops with squid ink risotto are absolutely incredibly. Additionally, their cocktails are really well thought out and amazing. read more

They offer some nice wines and a selection of lovely drinks (including mock-tails) I've enjoyed the ruby red spritz. Make a reservation.

Lovely little place just north of downtown Royal Oak. The menu is creative and changes often, and everything I've ever had there tastes fresh and delicious.

Given their food menu is unique, I wish they'd offer recommended wine pairings and a better by-the-glass selection. read more

Quaint and modern little spot. I had a reservation for my husband's birthday. We shared the steak tartare and braised beef apps. Both were delicious. Nice just and flavor with the tartare. The whipped feta with beets was smooth and delicious. I got the scallops and risotto. The risotto Nero was interesting. I don't know if they added cheese but there was almost a smaller gelatin consistency. Scallops were nicely seared. Other main was the tagliatelle with lamb ragú. It had a nice hint of spice and the fresh pasta was evident. Dessert was a VERY rich chocolate ganache-like dessert with small malt balls on top. There was a hint of thyme which was a good contrasting flavor. Server was attentive and kind and gave us time. read more

Beppe - That is the appetizer to NOT order if you even go. - New American Near Me - Royal Oak, Michigan

Beppe is a little hard to find and the indoor space is a bit cramped. It's unfortunate to have such tiny tables when the food style is shareable / tapas / small plates. The service and food were very good, though, so that makes up for the slightly awkward ambiance. I made reservations for dinner with a girlfriend to catch up. We shared the fritto misto, caponata and tagliatelle. We also each had a cocktail. All of it was delicious. I didn't realize they had a parking lot and paid for a meter on the street a couple of blocks away. Note to future guests--they do have a small parking lot, so try that first. read more

Showed up around 745 and asked for a table of 4, only had to wait 10-15 mins for a table which is rare in royal oak! It was a warm night so they had the patio open (which is decorated very cute with twinkle lights and has heaters) so I'm not sure how they operate during the winter. The host was very kind and welcoming. They have a rotating menu but it would be nice if their website was updated when the changes are made. I was eyeing the short rib before coming so was disappointed to see that it was rotated off of the menu when we got there. The cauliflower dish was probably the best roasted cauliflower that I've ever had. It came with this cashew sauce, dates, mint and lemon. The nuttiness and citrus was an unexpected but delicious pairing. I got the steak tips appetizer for my meal and it was a perfect amount for me. The steak was cooked well and I liked the savory sauce that it was in & it came with these fried mashed potato balls, something I've never had before. We finished with the deconstructed apple pie. There were some baked cinnamon apples at the bottom, topped with vanilla ice cream and a puff pastry. I liked the flavors but the ratio was off, it needed more of the apple filling. My friends got the white fish dip which was extremely salty. They also got the rigatoni which they loved but the sausage was a tad spicy. read more

I've been wanting to visit here for awhile and enjoyed this cool, low key neighborhood gem with Italian food. The restaurant is on the smaller side but does have nice big windows and a patio. There is also a little parking lot behind it on Willits which I appreciate! Anyways food wise, ordered the crab cake with came with some sort of miso chutney which didn't really seem to go with it but the crab cake itself was decent. The fries and aioli were good but I do feel the fries could've been seasoned more- I am a fan of oregano, rosemary and herbs so for me the flavor was lacking a bit but they were tasty and a good portion to share with 2-3 people I'd say. I got the tagliatelle for my entree and it was a great size portion and tasty. I do wish there was more variety with the types of pasta offered as I'd love a white sauce, red sauce (ie bolognese or spicy marinara) or vodka sauce offering in addition to what is on the menu. This place does have an epic wine list and the drinks are very creative which I appreciate. I definitely recommend trying beppe! read more

I'm bummed, I can't lie, because they changed their vodka pasta! The last time I was in the area for work, I stopped in and I was SO impressed with the vodka rigatoni with sausage and ricotta. I told everyone at home about it. I tried to recreate it I came back (about a year later) it was not good :( It was dry, the noodles were not a rigatoni shape, they were heavy and too thick and chewy, and whatever sauce I did get felt grainy and not creamy, it didn't even have parsley! I'm sad because the vibe is so cute, the people are great, the fries were good, but the pasta I had been looking forward to was a bit of a let down. Please bring back the sausage rigatoni! read more

I think Beppe has a lot potential to be successful as a newer, upscale restaurant in Royal Oak. It's just a short walk from the main area of downtown. Beppe's menu is great, it's short, with a nice variety of options. Several of the appetizers sounded good, as did the salads. They also have a good cocktail and wine/bottle list. The service is friendly and competent while still genuine. I had the scallops. I thought they were really good, but not amazing. My friend had the barramundi, which was amazing (though maybe should have been listed as garlic barramundi, as the garlic is strong, I love garlic so I enjoyed it). The fish was perfectly cooked, served on creamy risotto. I would go back to order this as well as try some of the apps. I think the interior falls short on the ambiance. I had been in the building before in its previous life as a Greek diner. Beppe is trying to be upscale, but has not lost the the diner feel yet, my friend noted it gives off a bit of upscale Dennys. I do really like their patio and will be back in the summer. read more
