My wife and I were in the area for business and we decided to give Pepenero a try. Am I ever glad we did. We were fortunate enough to be served by Madalina who when I joked about needing a bigger menu (because their menu is extensive) brought me a BIGGER menu which really started off the experience well having someone with a sense of humor. Madalina was so sweet to talk to and helpful with the menu, not pushy or suggesting the most expensive thing on the menu but actually listening to what we were in the mood for and providing feedback accordingly. Attentive without being intrusive, kind without being fake. Quite a lovely lady. She really is an all-star server. Once we ordered our dishes off Madalina went and suddenly appeared Vladimir. Vlad....That guy. You want to talk about someone who has passion for their job, look no further. Vlad is the bartender/Wine connoisseur/Whiskey expert/great guy. He comes to the table and has a relaxing presence and is a wealth of knowledge. Asks what you ordered, what your interested in and makes suggestions based off that. Much like with Madalina, it felt like Vlad really cared about trying to give us the best experience possible (which they both more than exceeded at). With Vlad I had the same feeling of him not trying to upsell everything but pair dishes to what he thought was best. He knew so much about the drinks he was serving that he felt like an encyclopedia and not like a boring know it all but like someone who cares so much about what he is doing and wants you to feel the same passion for what he is explaining as he does. The combination of Madalina and Vlad and spectacular food make this place one that I will be returning to. I made sure to tell the manager about my experience and how not just Vlad and Madalina were great but the entire crew we had the pleasure of interacting with were also, I just don't know all the names to list them. The manager did made sure to visit us again before we left, he was very on top of everything and proud of his team, he let us know how much he appreciated the feedback and to make sure we had anything else we could have needed. We made sure to come back before we had to leave the area. It felt like going home. We had Madalina serving again and it all just felt like we were a part of a family. They remembered us and were just as good the second time as the first. If I didn't live on the other side of the pond I would be making sure to make this place a regular location. I know I didn't talk much of the food which I probably should add how good it was. The food was timely and well prepared, I don't exactly remember everything we had since this was about a month ago but I do know we left full and happy with the decisions that we were guided to. My suggestion is to go with an open mind and let the experts help you. They will take care of you, they do care and if you do this, you will leave happy. I do apologize for it taking me a month to write this but I couldn't not. This place is an experience and one I will remember fondly until I am able to visit again. Thank you D

My husband and I had the most wonderful restaurant experience, the best I have ever had in my life, at Pepenero. We received exceptional service from Madalina; she treated us like family, and the Manager made us feel incredibly welcome. We were delighted to watch the passionate Vladimir in his craft as he shared his recommendation for beverages to pair with our meal. He is a masterful Bartender. The food was delicious, especially the pizza, and I enjoyed the pasta. The sauce was fantastic. We felt so welcome we came back a few nights later, and once again it was an unforgettable evening. Words cannot express how touched I was by these individuals. I truly hope to come back again soon, and I am so grateful to have met such wonderful people.
