Good Italian food place. Service is great, food is great as well. You're not going to get better Italian/Continental food anywhere around these neck of the woods that at Peppino's read more

Been here a few times, always sit at the bar. Fast service, good beer, consistently good food. Reliable place!

Great find! From Scranton on our way to Bethel Woods we decided to stop for lunch here and we'll definitely consider going back. The restaurant was clean, the staff was very friendly. Had some great suggestions on what was good but everything looked and smelled amazing. It was fresh and hot. read more

Nice little spot with great Irish vibes, especially with St. Paddy's Day around the corner. The atmosphere feels festive and welcoming, and the pizza smells absolutely amazing as soon as you walk in. Definitely a fun place to grab a bite and soak in the pre-St. Patrick's Day spirit! read more

Peppino's - Pizza Near Me - Callicoon, New York

Amazing amazing food and service! We ordered 2 pastas and 1 pizza to go and it took about 20 minutes to be done. The pastas were so flavorful and the portions were generous. We felt the pizza dough could have been a bit more fluffy but the toppings and flavors overall were great. The cashier helping us was so sweet and talkative (in a good way). They give free bread as well as an appetizer. Definitely would come back if I was ever in the area again! read more

My friend and I went to Peppino's for lunch two weeks ago- and it was fantastic! I had the shrimp ceaser salad and she had the bruschetta salad- PHENOMENAL! My salad's shrimp were HUGE, sweet and perfectly cooked! Hand shaved cheeses, and the salad was gigantic! AMAZING! Her salad she said was delicious and very flavorful- it looked it! Balsamic vinegar, full of tomatoes, greens and herbs! I can't say anough about how FAB the lunch was- the waitress was attentive, not pushy, and allowed us to chat and eat- I had Coke and my friend had juice- large glasses and were were stuffed afterwards because the salads were so big for the prices! GO and get the salads- STELLAR lunch! TEN STARS Peppino's! read more

This is not a customer-first establishment. We are local to the area & visit Peppino's a couple of times a year. MDW around 11:30 on Monday was apparently the wrong time to go. The service & counter help looked disgusted to deal with customers. I ordered a burger-- no bun-- and asked for the vegetable as a side (I cannot eat fries). I was told they won't do the vegetable. There were no other options offered. With no apology, offering, or justification for why I would get a lesser option/less food. I paid the same amount for a burger with some shredded lettuce & tomatoes on top. My husband had enough food for 2 meals, and I was left with a piece of meat to eat. I have never been to a restaurant that doesn't feel the need to accommodate by offering SOMETHING else to a patron who needs to swap out french fries. read more

Went for dinner in off season. I avoid it during Summer and Leaf peeping. As a local we don't have many choices close by. Had a large pizza and a ham & cheese calzone. Table service was slow, Food quality was OK could have had more ham in the calzone. Prices are high and more comparable to NYC where quality is better. Will go down the road apiece to the LOCAL pizza from now on. read more

I had decent expectations, but overall experience was ruined by the customer service. Food, ordered the penne a la vodka, linguine w clam sauce and chicken with marsala. The good a la vodka was good, penned was al dente and sauce was flavorful. I thought it was a bit too cheesy for me. Linguine w clam sauce was good. The only saving grace of the entire experience. Chicken marsala. Not sure what the other reviewer was talking about but this dish was poorly done. The marsala wine was not reduced enough. Taking a bite of the dish you feel lkle u are jit in the face with the alcoholic bite of the marsala sauce. U should taste the marsala without the sharp taste of uncooked alcohol. So this is where the whole experience went down the hill. We shared that the kids can't eat it with the super strong alcoholic taste, so the manager offered to take it off. My parents wanted to eat mussles but they aren't fond of regular marinara or fra diavolo sauce. The manager mentioned that can do it in bianco style. So we went with it. The dish was eh. Mussles were not flavorful and over cooked. Once we saw the bill, they added a bunch of random fees. They charged an uncharge to do the dish in bianco because it wasn't on the menu. We didnt have an issue with paying an upcharge if they were upfront about it. Not once did the damage mention this. They also included an upcharge for swapping a dish. Again no mention of this when the option was given. We dine out alot and we have never experienced this. We understand the restaurant has policies. But if you have policies like these surcharges you need to be transparent about it w the customers. The server was not only inexperienced and completely unapologetic. The manager finally adjusted the bill but that was after some stern words were had. I had somewhat decent hopes for this place but was completely disappointed. If u are vacationing in the area, I suggest you avoid this place. The food is definitely not worth thr hassle and poor service. read more

We are very accustomed to eating traditional , high quality Italian restaurant food in NYC and the Bronx. After hearing from so many that this place was so great, we decided to make the drive to have dinner. That was a few years ago and we now are there everytime we are upstate. The staff is amazing! The owner and his family are present and working which seems to be their secret sauce! Since secret sauce is on the mind, they also sell their own sauce! Delicious for the nights that we need something quick and are not in the area. All around excellent restaurant for lunch and dinner and fits any budget. The atmosphere is very comfortable and inviting. Importantly, it's Very clean and decorated just right. read more

I had the pleasure of dining here this weekend. I was with of group of 12 people. FIrst off, our server, Lucy, was wonderful. It is not easy for cover a group of 12, but she did an amazing job. I had requested a dish that was not on the menu, and the chef was able to oblige even though it was a busy night. Everyone enjoyed their meals, the service was great and the prices are very unbeleivable. this is my favorite place to eat when I am in the area read more

Great friendly service and very good authentic Italian favorites with extensive menu and plenty to eat. Wont leave hungry!

My brother took me to this place in my most recent visit. I'm always a little skeptical when it comes to Italian food upstate but this place will be on list of regular places to eat at from now on. Everything was so good none of us really even talked we just ate and within minutes my plate was clean. I had the Veal and it was cooked perfectly and they had no issues when I requested the same sauce as my meat on my pasta. The place is decorated great everything is like new. Our waiter and the rest of the staff were all very friendly, smiled and completed making our dinner a great experience. read more

Consistently good food! Always nice to visit and have a good wholesome Italian meal. Always consistent and always crowded so be sure to make a reservation especially on a Saturday night. Enjoy! read more

Place is clean and inviting,servers are good,but the food is aggressively mediocre. Anyone with Italian restaurant experience would have to agree. Bread for the table was low end sandwich rolls. Salad was made with ice berg lettuce. There is nothing signature about the food,all average. I don't think anyone really checks the plates as they leave the window. I ordered a chicken Parm sub. That should be a slam dunk to wow a diner, instead it was weak. My wife ordered the meat lasagna..weak at best. Place could be ten times better if there heads were in the game. read more

I appreciate the food, service, and the community's family atmosphere. The guys upfront were very personable and inviting, and I appreciated that as a new resident of the area. read more

Staff is unbelievably rude and unprofessional. Unfortunately, I was pressed by a staff member who was completely out of line. I was just paying for my pizza, and that's when the unprofessional comments were made. It made me feel extremely uncomfortable. The place looked nice but unfortunately I will not be returning. read more

Large portions and friendly service but the food was not great. The best was the lobster bisque (special soup of the day - $1 up charge with meal), though it wasn't your typical lobster bisque - it had noodles (and maybe imitation crab meat?) inside. The side salad with the spaghetti had a 50 cent up charge for Caesar dressing (which we got bc they did not have ranch - just thousand island). The spaghetti and meatballs wasn't bad either though not any different from what you could make with a dried pasta box and jarred sauce at home (honestly my husband makes better). Same for the penne a la vodka (which I was only able to have a few bites of). Sadly, would not recommend. read more

Amazing Italian dinners. The food portions are large. Great prices. Our server was excellent.

Place was aweome ! Staff were polite and helpful and service was on point ! Food was Delish! Been there many times and will Keep going back! read more

I came here for the pizza bc I only love NY style pizza and I was not disappointed. Even if it was slightly salty, I still enjoyed the generous w mozzarella cheese, the thin thin crust, and the fluffy and light but chewy dough. The crust was probably the best crust I had in ages. Almost like a hybrid filó dough thin top layer and chewy core without much density. The waitress was very sweet, gave our dog fresh water in a clean washed bowl, let our dog sit with us on the outside table which had an umbrella for sun. The salad was huge and could be shared with 2-3 people. Calamari was done just right ... light and crispy with lots of homemade marinara sauce. The surrounding area is beautiful in the Catskills with lakes and farms. The town is nice and friendly. The bathroom was nicely done, clean, and spacious. read more

Great Italian food. Good service, we are always greeted as we walk in even though they are often really busy. There's a bar up front and then booths and tables in the back. read more

The Stromboli is solid. The town is quaint. Honestly the best food within a 40 mile radius!

The chicken marsala was the best I've ever had. My daughter loved the chicken franchaise.

Went there for lunch today with several friends, server was great but the food was lacking. Most of us ordered heroes ,both the eggplant and chicken heroes and panini's looked like they took pre cut diced pizza toppings put it in a hero roll covered in pizza sauce and cheese and called it Parmesan . Not what you expect from a good Italian restaurant . Very disappointed. read more

The food is typically good but I've been twice in the last week and both times, not all employees were wearing masks. On both occasions I made a gentle comment and there was no real reaction. I know cases might be fewer in this area but it made me uncomfortable to see people preparing my food without covering their mouths, given the current pandemic. I also received a salad (uncooked and possibly prepared by someone NOT wearing a mask) with pieces hanging out of the container. read more

Peppino's - Pizza Near Me - Callicoon, New York

I've come in here for years, I went this past Sunday service was trash. The one waitress who wasn't tending bar was scattering between a few tables and waiting on me and my friends at the bar (she did fantastic) she was waiting on us because the bartender did not show up on time. My friends and I made 3 people and the older man at the bar made four. I don't know if we were being ignored because a waitress was waiting on us before the bartender came in, but it didn't matter when our food came out. Sunday is panini day in this place, I had the bruschetta panini, one piece of prosciutto on it, ONE PIECE. I used to come in looking forward to "Panini Sunday" No more. Those paninis used to have some depth to them! I would get all my girls together to come there on a Sunday for that and I will never recommend it again! read more

WOW WOW WOW!!! I had the honor of being in Callicoon for a week. Once my son and I found Peppino's it became our go to. The staff is so giving and gracious! Last night my son had gone back to the city so I decided to sit at the bar and have a cocktail. Little did I know that MILLY the most amazing bartender would turn this into a THREE hour experience!! Her cocktails were amazing, she even had created her own all natural blueberry raspberry syrup for the most delicious margarita ever!! She was so gracious Even after a very long PRIDE CALLICOON CELEBRATION!!! Milly truly made my night and my new friends night as well!!! This spot is AMAZING. The food is authentic, served with love, not rushed to the table! I will be back over n over!!! read more

This is a very nice restaurant with great Italian food. They get a little bit crowded and you may want to make a reservation. My only complaint is that they charge a 8% service charge and then a credit card surcharge. This is not necessary and unfair and I believe the people tip less if you have to pay in cash. read more

We've come here multiple times a year for their reliable pizza and good service as my FIL lives in the area. We came for dinner (stuffed shells, two pizzas, Caesar salad, antipasto salad, garlic bread and mozzarella sticks) and unfortunately, most of the food was surprisingly tasteless. My guess is that with inflation, they're using cheaper ingredients? Who knows but I was disappointed by the food. The server we had on Thursday night as we sat outside (a young man) was stellar, very friendly, responsive and professional! read more

Like other reviewers have said, not a friendly place, toxic. Haven't been to a place that seems to so blatantly not care about their own community. Will never bring my family here again. The man behind counter seems to hate people and was so mean, yelled at an older person who simply asked directions, "are you even an adult?!" Got even weirder and ruder. Plenty of other pretentious places to give your hard earned money where the paying public are treated with decency if not care. read more

What a find! First timers for lunch today. I love everything about this place. The warm and welcoming staff, the cleanliness of the restaurant, and the quality of the offerings. We started lunch off with the grilled octopus, perfectly prepared, simply delicious. Then onto selections from the extensive Panini menu. One eggplant, one pepperoni and cheese. Just the right proportions, not overstuffed. They were both delicious. Can't wait for an encore visit. read more

This is a beautiful restaurant. Our server was such an attentive young man and so very kind. We had a sicilian pie and salad and it was delicious. we also ordered desserts, homemade tiramisu, cannoli and cheesecake. All were delicious. If you want italian food in Callicoon this is the place! The sauce is really good. Take a jar home! read more

Food here is so delicious. And the vodka sauce is fantastic!!! I love that I can get it in jars both here and at Pecks.

Was staying in lake como for our anniversary. People we texted from recommended Peppinos! So glad they did! Food was amazing! Real home made sauce! Mussels were amazing! Husband got streak with gravy! Let's just say...plate was empty at end of meal! I got eggplant parm... best I've ever had! Their attention to their customers is spot on! Very Highly Recommend read more

Not a lot of choices up here but this was one possibly until they answered the phone. Rude. No delivery. Enthusiastic pass.

We are so glad we found this place! We are from NJ, close to NYC and are used to authentic Italian food. We have been looking for a good Italian place to go to while we are at our weekend place up here, and definitely found our "go to" spot! Peppino's checked all of the boxes! Great atmosphere, all around cleanliness, friendly and knowledgeable staff and best of all - delicious food! My mom and I ordered a raspberry and a pomegranate martini to drink and both were so good! They were rimmed with sugar with a hint of lime zest which added a great touch! For dinner I ordered the Penne Vodka, my mom got the Chicken Parmesan, and my dad got the Eggplant Parmesan. They were served with bread and a soup or salad. Everything was beyond tasty and the portions were very generous, so we had plenty left over to take home. Can't wait to come back! read more
