This place was amazing! One of the best places I've ever been to. It's such a cute little place with 10-20 people worth of seating. It was probably one of the best calamari's I've had. And, the pasta was the perfect combination of rich and creamy. The service was also great and they waiters packed up our food and constantly kept checking up on me and my party. read more

We called them last minute for a repast. The funeral was on Saturday and we called them on Wednesday. They easily accommodated our party of 50 with exceptional service and amazing food. Our guests were in disbelief at amount of delicious food that was served as well as the quality. The waitstaff were phenomenal as well as the bus staff. It was BYOB they let us drop off our deserts and alcohol and held them for us. Couldn't ask for kinder more accommodating people. Not to mention that food was out of this world. They even doled out containers for people to take the leftovers home and not a single slice of bread was left! read more

Basic chair/table or booth seating, which had not been changed since it was La Cascina. Gets very noisy. Service could have been better, there was one waitress for the whole restaurant (33 patrons seated). Food was very good; our entrees were carefully prepared fresh. BYOB. read more

Came here for lunch on Mother's Day with a party of 6 - the food and service were fantastic! Everything we ordered was fresh, delicious, and perfectly cooked - calamari was so tender and perfectly fried, margherita pizza crust was thin and yummy, and our main courses (pastas, chicken parm, Marsala) were excellent! Portions are very generous - we are used to small NYC portions so we ended up over ordering, but now we have yummy leftovers. Staff were friendly and attentive; the chef came out to greet us at the end of the meal which was really nice because it was busy lunch time. We'll definitely be returning customers as the food and service were amazing. read more

Peppinos - Linguini vongole - Italian Near Me - Marlboro, New Jersey

This restaurant is a hidden gem. I am so happy that my boyfriend and I decided to check it out. The ambiance is very lowkey. When we got to the restaurant there was one other table, during our stay it filled up. Our server was sweet and attentive. We went on a Sunday and unfortunately they were out of a lot of dinner items. The food choices that we made were incredible. We started off with sausage in a red sauce and the sausage was so flavorful and moist. We could have finished the whole thing but we wanted to save our appetite for our entrees. We took it to go and it was just as amazing the next day. The half pizza half calzone was great because we got two different options. The calzone was one of the best I've ever had. The ingredients were rich and fresh. The chicken was so thin and crispy. The mozzarella was so fresh and light. The vodka sauce was to die for. It was the best vodka sauce I have had in this area hands down. The chef even came over to ask how we wanted the sausage prepared which was a personable touch. We will be back for sure. I can't wait. read more

My husband through me a surprise party at Peppinos on Route 34 and it was fabulous. Owner and chef Vinny out did himself with amazing Italian food. We had the back space all to ourselves. The servers were wonderful so attentive and responsive to all our needs. Everyone raved about the pizza! Their servings are huge enough to share. The eggplant parm was delish. Chicken cutlet parm is a staple for me and Peppinos was right on. The fried artichoke hearts were amazing. Everyone went home with tons of food. Mmmmmm!! Thank you Vinny and crew!! Remember if you order the mixed salad ITS HUGE!! Share is the word!! read more

Peppinos is an authentic Italian experience! Food is always fresh! Sauce is perfection! Pizza crust is simply the best! The calamari and salmon are decadent! Penne alla vodka is my favorite, Or bring your own bottle and get a cheese plate! This is the kind of neighborhood restaurant we all needed, and is fast becoming a part of the community fabric! I love coming here on a weekday night with the kids to relax and enjoy a freshly cooked meal! They are just getting started, let's give this small business some big love to do great things! read more

Went to dinner here recently and Prices have gone up considerably and not warranted from this casual restaurant. Menu selections have been reduced and are now limited. Service was slow and the waitress was cold and inattentive. Food was ok nothing special. Probably the last time for us. Remember repeat customers are considered the best! read more

Peppinos - Bowtie Vodka with peas & prosciutto. Delish! - Italian Near Me - Marlboro, New Jersey

The restaurant has a pizza place feel, but restaurant prices, so I'm not a big fan of the ambiance. The food however was really good, and they do have gluten free options. I had the chicken parmigiana, and loved it. The pasta (gluten free) had a different taste than the chicken parmigiana, but it was still pretty good. The biggest drawback is the ambiance. The lights are bright, and it echoes due to the tile flooring, but if you can get past that, it's a good, although slightly expensive place for Italian food. read more

The staff was extremely accommodating as I needed to send a pizza to my Dad in his nursing home, which they don't usually do. Many thanks to Vinny! Oh, and he loved the pizza! read more

Just as good as the original in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. Been there twice already. I live the smell of the brick oven. Pizza is best around that's for sure. Fried Calamari is excellent. Caesar Salad is amazing. The seafood specials are delicious and fresh. Very happy this place is around. Not many great spots for Italian food in the area. Highly recommend. Great service. Make a reservation if you plan on going on a weekend. read more

Great pizza! And a wonderful atmosphere. Recommend the margarita pizza! And great family vibe. Highly recommend.

Easily, the best local "Red Sauce" place in my area! It is BYOB has some of the best pizza south of Brooklyn and a very nice and attentive staff. I have been to this location multiple times since they opened for both business lunches and dinner with my wife. I would suggest making a reservation if going for dinner as they can get very busy during dinner hours Thursday-Sunday. My favorite pizza here is the Putanesca the pizza dough is "soft and crunchy" like one would expect from a true pizza maestro! The "red sauce" entrees are better than most places likely due to the use of quality ingredients. They are easily on par with LaCushina while it is true that Peppino's is a bit more expensive than the LaCushina (previous owners at this location) as some previous reviews have stated, I believe the atmosphere and high-quality ingredients trump the menu that was available previously at LaCushina. Additionally, the location looks much better now aesthetically than it did previously, so the slight increase in price is worth it to me. read more

The food is good and I'd score higher if not for one thing...... if someone calls and orders in for pick up and the person on the phone says it'll be ready in 30 minutes, have it ready in that time. Not wait until the person gets there to put it in the over so "it's hot and fresh". It defeats the purpose of ordering ahead. This has happened to me and a few friends that have ordered ahead. read more

Went with family and friends earlier today. Local family-style restaurant with friendly staff. Ordered calamari, rigatoni bolognese, margarita pizza, and a tiramisu for dessert. Everything was fresh and had great flavor, will definitely be coming back :) read more

Wow! What an absolute fantastic discovery. We were frequent diners at the old La Cashina and were heartbroken when they sold. Up until our reservation last night, i thought this was a glorified pizza place....I was so wrong. The service was amazing. The food was delicious. The portions were huge. The prices, I thought, were lower than similar places. I had the veal Milanese, something I always order when I see it on the menu. Best I've had in quite some time. Looking forward to our next meal at Peppinos! read more

I come here about twice a month and everything is delicious. A few of our favorites are the Linguine Vongole, penne vodka and Frutti di Mare is always fresh. The dough they use for the pizza and Bruschetta is hard to find anywhere else, crunchy and tasty all by itself. I've also ordered catering here and the portions are generous and tastes great even as leftovers the next day. read more

This is a composite score. For food alone, I would've given 5 stars, but the prices are OUTRAGEOUS. For one veal parmigiana and one chicken parmigiana dinner, the bill came to $72 (no drinks or appetizers) so I would rate the value/price of the food 1 star. read more

If you want high quality ingredient food, this is the place! We had a little bit of everything which was delicious and cooked perfectly. I know they use high quality ingredients because I normally feel wrecked the day after a meal. The service was on point and the owners are the kindest people ever. Def felt right at home in this place. You will not regret coming here! They just opened up but I foresee this place getting really crowded as word of mouth gets out. Def will be coming back! read more

Had dinner at Peppino's twice this week. First was regular dishes ( veal parm/pasta puttanesca). Both were very good. On the second occasion, we opted for apps and pizza. Fried calamari was a generous portion and quite tender. Opted for the spicy marinara, which provided a nice zing. The pizza was very good. Traditional pizza using quality ingredients. Great cheese pull and zero flop. Wait staff was exceptional. Selena the first night and Mark on the second. Friendly, accommodating and attentive. Highly recommend Peppino's and we will be returning. read more

We all thoroughly enjoyed our meals / all entrees were fresh, hot, tasty, and well portioned. Meat sauce was best I have ever had! Tasty hot bread with oil or awesome to soak up all of their really great sauces. All pasta was cooked perfectly in all dishes and very enjoyable for every bite. Fish and chicken dishes were also awesome. Ambiance is a bit dated and loud at times. Service was good / parking is sometimes a challenge - although you can park next store during weekend/off hours. Pricing is fair - although more premium priced. read more

Mozzarella Carrozza Special. Different than I'm used to. Wasn't deep fried, no crispy skin. But it was very good. Chicken parm very good, but they did a trick I've now seen twice. The top cutlet had melted mutz, but it partially covers the second cutlet which does not have any mutz on it. I think that's deceitful. SHRIMP A'LA VINCENZ- very good, but the cream sauce was too rich to finish dish. Three of us ordered shrimp in different sauces, and all 3 had the tails on them. All of us found it difficult to get the tails off while it's was covered with sauce. I wish they took the tails off before it was cooked. Tiramisu was great. Seemed like we had a new waiter, and he didn't write the order down and kept coming back to the table to make sure it he got it right. Which he didn't. After correcting him a few times it seemed like he got it down, but when the order came there were still some minor mistakes. Due to high prices and few annoyances, I will be back, but not so soon. read more

This definitely isn't La Cashina. We were frequent patrons of La Cashina, prior to the ownership change. Peppinos prices are quite high, service is average and the food has no taste. Not sure what happened, but this is one visit and we're done. So sad to see this, knowing we enjoy good Italian food and service, but between the prices and the bland tasting food and the over the top waitress, we're done. read more

Outstanding food, portions are plentifully. Service is attentive even on a busy night we you could see the staff hustle. Owner came out of kitchen and checked on us and asked how everything was - you don't get that anymore anyplace. The restaurant has gone thru an extreme makeover and fresh menu. Noticed other reviews comment on the price point and you get what you pay for in this restaurant. I've noticed other restaurants change the portions or make some good cost change to maintain the price. I'm a fan and will be back. Solid addition and I'm going back! bRAVO! read more

Will quickly become your new favorite. Everything from traditional pizza to tin pasta. Amazing!
