Review by Rosina

Don Pepe Restaurant offers a cozy vibe perfect for a casual night out. I visited with friends and we were promptly seated despite the crowd. We kicked off the meal with the broiled octopus and shrimp in garlic sauce - both were brilliantly tender and bursting with flavor. The Chilean sea bass was a standout too, paired nicely with potatoes and veggies. Their sangrias were refreshing, making the whole experience delightful. Don’t miss out on their dessert menu either! Definitely coming back... 😊
