One of the best meals/experiences I've had in TC. We had the octopus and mushroom soup for appetizers with scallops special and homemade pasta for our entrees. The service was top notch and waitress very knowledgeable. Only complaint was the dessert. Thought both of them were just ok.
PepeNero's was definitely one of the best food experiences we've ever had. The food was soo good! We took advantage of it being a special celebration and tried more food options than we needed. We sat at the bar, which was a fun experience watching the kitchen and bartender (Karen) work their hearts out. It's was definitely a busy night! đź‘ŤLove watching that hustle n bustle in restaurants. The atmosphere was exceptional, fun, and beautiful! Being in Traverse City, it was unexpected. It had a big city's quaint neighborhood vibe, if that makes sense. Felt like we had stumbled on a gem, one the locals would recommend to an outsider (which is how we learned of it!) Ooh, we'll be back, and we'll definitely be recommending this restaurant to everyone! Exceptional!
Pepenero holds a special place in our hearts; it's where my wife and I had one of our first dates during Traverse City's restaurant week. Since then, it has remained a reliable choice for an exceptional dining experience. From the moment you step in, the attentive service sets the tone. We always request Noah, our favorite server, who excels at suggesting wines to complement our meals. While the menu boasts consistently excellent dishes, we've explored them all and now wish for a bit more variety. Whether it's your first visit or an annual tradition, Pepenero is perfect for a special date night or a memorable evening out in TC.
The staff is always awesome and very accommodating. I always feel as though I am their only customer. The cocktails and food are always very good. The cost is a bit higher and more of a special occasion type of outing, but well worth it.
Me and my wife came here and had an amazing experience. We sat outside in the large outdoor seating area. They allowed our puppers which we really appreciated. The staff was friendly and helpful. For an appetizer we split the crab croquette and it was phenomenal. I had the seafood linguine and it was pretty good. My wife loved the pappardelle (10 hour pork ribs) and I'm not going to live I was a little jealous it was so good. For dessert my wife tiramisu and they did such a good job. My desert was a dessert for the day and wow. All the desserts are made in house by the chef's wife and she does amazing work. I would recommend and would love to come back.
We’ve visited PepeNeros four times and it is always such a treat! Serving staff is wonderfully attentive and the food is out of this world. We enjoyed several glasses of wine and a few smoked old fashioneds. Burrata, tagleire, and croquettes for apps. I had the squash soup too (forgot to grab a picture) as it’s one of my favorites and has a really nice sweetness to it. For dinner we had the filet, ravilolini, and papparedelle. And for dessert we split a tre cioccolate and semifreddo (beyond delicious). Everything was exquisite. Not a single dish was disappointing. It is worth the price. We will continue making this a regular visit when in the area.
Brad was an amazing server. He was very attentive to our needs. Perfectly described the dish I was curious about and helped us have an amazing dinner. I would definitely recommend to someone celebrating a special occasion!
