    From the moment you walk past the patio and into Pepe's you're transported to Italy! A very elegant setting awaits you. White linen table cloths, flowers and chandeliers! Mark our server was wonderful! He thoroughly explained the menu and course options. If you're ordering multiple items they will take your full order at once and course it accordingly. A wide variety of apps, salads, pastas, meat and fish all served Italian style! Salads served cold on cold plates. A touch I love at restaurants! Everything was cooked to perfection. Love is seen in the dishes. Extensive wine menu and can order by the class or bottle. No cocktail menu is had but a fully stocked bar and Leo the bartender any delightful concoction can be made! We greatly enjoyed our evening here! Ideal for date night, girls night, or any special occasion!

    Veal Saltimbocca

    Excellent experience. Wife took me here for my birthday. Service was attentive and personable. Indoor decor was classic, old school with the chandeliers. Food was great and lived up to the hype. Tried the snails, meatballs, veal saltimbocca, steak, pasta tenderloin, birthday panna cotta and tiramisu. Wine list was decent; had a couple of Super Tuscans on the menu. $30 corkage. Parking was easy. Pretty busy on a Wednesday night.

    Halibut special with string beans

    I started with their house Cabernet Sauvignon and it was smooth. Slightly fruity and well balanced. We skipped ordering appetizers and went straight to ordering dinner. I went with an off menu special, halibut in a lemon butter sauce with string beans. The halibut was cooked nicely. I really enjoyed the lemon butter sauce. Sometimes the sauce can make the fish too rich but this was perfect. The string beans were cooked perfectly so they still had a slight crunch to them. Excellent meal! Our waitress did an excellent job. She stayed on top of everything. They have a parking lot on the back side of the restaurant and there's ample street parking too. Cozy restaurant with lots of character.

    Peppe's is an absolute must eat restaurant in Kirkwood for a romantic setting. The service is 10 out of 10. If you love seafood, Veal, or pasta you cannot go wrong with their choices. I highly recommended getting the traditional two options for your best buck if you are on a budget. Their wine list is multiple pages long to choose from. I ended up with an old fashion that was excellent. My pick two ended up being the steak sirloin and the chef nailed the cook for medium rare. Highly recommend getting the salmon as it was my favorite from my parties order. We ended the night with cannolis. Yummmm they were warm and delish!

    Halibut special - outstanding!

    Had a party of 15 here last night and it could not have gone better. Was a special occasion and Pepe's made it so special without any extra expense. The ambiance is so romantic and cozy and classy. Perfect for this occasion. Incredible night, incredible service, incredible food!

Before discussing the food, let's talk about what's most important, and that's our waitress Eve. Our table of four had many questions regarding food as well as wine, and Eve had thoughts and recommendations for everything. It was a pleasant change from other servers when Eve had some recs for things that weren't the most expensive items on the menu (we've all experienced the servers who only recommend the top dollar plates). Eve listened carefully to what we wanted and had appropriate and mindful suggestions. Eve knew all about the wines and helped us pair properly per plate. The rest of the staff that crossed paths with our table were kind and helpful as well. As for the food... the Truffle Agnolotti was as to die for! Omg. Amazing. Full of flavor yet not heavy. It was the star of the table. Lastly, we were impressed with the selection of appropriately priced wines by the glass.

    Short Update: Went back last week. As good as, or better than our visit in December 2025. My wife…read moreand I again split the Chopped Salad. Well dressed and enough for the two of us (served on individual plates which demonstrates their attention to detail and customer-driven focus). I had the Lamb Chop Siciliano paired with their Super Tuscan Red Wine. Three lightly breaded, double cut lamb chops in a lemon caper sauce and mashed potatoes. Unbelievably perfect. My wife had the Shrimp Scampi. Huge shrimp (at least U10) and huge flavor. Couldn't have had a better experience. Will be going back soon. By the way, our companions noted how packed it was for a week night. It's that way for a reason... great food, excellent drinks, attentive service, and a wonderful atmosphere. You just have to try it.

    What a great find in Clayton. Was in town visiting my daughter and was looking for a causal spot…read morewith good food. I stumbled across Pastaria and was immediately drawn to the place. I sat at the bar and was immediately greeted and given a menu. I ordered the Citrus Salad and Fried Risotto Balls. OMG the risotto balls are something that cannot be passed up. Simply amazing. The salad was so good, could have used a touch of acid but was superb. The service was top notch and will not only be coming back but recommending Pastaria to anyone that I like. The restaurant vibe is fantastic. Welcoming and hopping but not too loud that you couldn't hear yourself think.

    Who doesn't like Pasta!!!…read more So it was a girls night, i will say the restaurant is open and noisy. Not off putting type of noisy, but you are not having any romantic private conversations here. We are in Clayton so you know the ambiance is right, nothing to complain about there. My waiter was attentive, almost to attentive, until it came to the check then I couldn't find him lol. Not complaining though because way to often you have to be ultra patient. WE had a large chopped salad which was delicious. I had Pomodoro pasta which was good. BUT THE STAR OF THE SHOW WAS THE BRUSSEL SPROUTS. we ate two orders and I ordered one to go. Now i am not a pasta snob but I do enjoy the hill, and my favorite Italian restaurant is EAtely in Chicago. Now this, aint that. But i would definitely come back and try other things on the menu. ITs affordable enough that i can bring my whole family, its nice enough that this could be classified as a special night out. If you have teenagers or young adults that are currently dating within a budget, your date will feel special if you bring her here.

Not having been here before I had called ahead and asked for a table close to the entry as one of our party has an illness and not as mobile as he'd like. I was pleased with the table that they had reserved for us and the hostess didn't mention why we got that table, imo that was classy as I had hoped they wouldn't bring it up. It just looked like we got lucky and got a table a bit larger than needed and near the front without being obvious. We had drinks brought out and I had the amore spritzer suggested by the server. It was larger than expected and fairly strong, great taste. The other two drinks were just standard gin & tonic and a beer. All three dinners were excellent: my lobster ravioli, calamari, and chicken Romano. The house salads were very good, as was the shared slice of cheesecake that ended our dinner. The food & drinks were excellent, the server was great interacting with us and doing some give and take, and it was not overly expensive. In cost this would be a 3 out of 4 or a 3.5 out of 5 if the top number was higher expense for a restaurant. Without a doubt I would go back on a date if I was looking to impress.

The butternut pasta was a perfect balance of savory and sweet, and way more filling than the portion size makes it look.
