About:You can find Italian food on just about every corner of Miami, but Peppy's is almost always packed with customers. This can only attest to the quality of the food, which is well above status quo. The service is competent and friendly. As soon as you sit down, you will be provided with a basket of fresh-made bread and a roasted mashed garlic spread. The pasta is superb, particularly those with seafood and cream sauces. Meat dishes are equally enticing. This is elegant, Italian fine dining.

    This is one of the best restaurant in Miami.The food is great, the ambiance is super romantic and there is a very good special going on for just $20. It does not get better than that!

    My husband and I stopped at this restaurant because we were close by and were somewhat perplexed by the food. The restaurant ambience was great; dimmed old time lights. It felt romantic. The service was very good. There was a man playing a guitar in the background and I thought we won the lottery with this restaurant. The bread was warm and excellent; brought out with roasted garlic, olive oil with mint leaves, and tasty black and green olives that were heavenly.
    For appetizer we ordered the chef's special Tuscan Scallops that were fabulous done over italian toasted bread and topped with tomatoes in a great sause; cna't say enough of this appertizer I wish we would of ordered more.

    Then, we order our entrees and what a flop. I ordered Saltimbocca with chicken and pasta to accompanied it. I have tried better sauces from a jar; that's how bad this one was. My husband ordered Veal Marsala and it was as bad as mine (actually my husband and I argue all night about who's was worst).

    My husband's guess is that the chef was not working that night. We couldn't eat our plate and just happened that I had seen a plate pass me by to the back table earlier and saw it go back to the kitchen barely eaten. I don't know what happened there but I can take a guess.

    The restaurant got full after we came and I thought that if this much people came to this place that maybe this place was not going to be that bad; how wrong can one be. I usually try to read reviews before going anywhere but we wanted to be spontaneus and it didn't work this time.

    Discontented but not discouraged; we'll try other restaurants.
