Profile

The original version of the popular pasta take-out franchise, Pepe Rosso hasn’t much changed its basic formula, nor has its West Village cousin, Pepe Verde. Expect cheap antipasti, insalate, pasta dishes and panini made predominantly for the take-out and delivery crowd—though half the fun of going to either Pepe branch is sitting at one of the few tables inside and watching the gregarious workers prepare orders, man the phones and play grab-ass with customers and co-workers all at once in an animated frenzy. It’s like the Seinfeld soup Nazi, only they’re honest Italians who happen to be friendly and handsy. And almost everything on the menu is under ten dollars. — Andy Bailey

Recommended Dishes

Slow service, small space, but more importantly, sub-par Italian food. Completely tasteless and certainly not enough cheese on some of their dishes. Was not that much better than a microwaveable frozen dish.

It's not about Decor... it's about perfection in FOOD!

Absolutely amazing experience. We were welcomed like family, I crafted my own pasta dish and it was made to my spects with perfection. It was an outstanding experience. The place is too small, it is too crowded... and that makes me want to get there at the right time, sit at one of three tables and watch the magic of perfect pasta dishes created as if you were in Italy. LOVE THIS PLACE!
