Written on the wall at Pepe Giallo is, "no diet coke, no decaf, no skim milk, just good food". That's when you know it's authentic, fresh, good food.
I went there with some colleagues for lunch on a beautiful day, and we got to sit in the outdoor garden in the back. It's adorable - actually the reason we picked the place is because it's on the Food Network's Dining Guide list for outdoor seating. We all split a salad of avocado, tomato, hearts of palm, and shaved cheese: it was not your typical salad, and it was super tasty. Then I got papardelle with sausage and spicy tomato sauce. The tomato sauce was not spicy... but overall it was good. Huge portions of course, and I was stuffed.
In general, I've had better Italian, but the atmosphere there was so perfect. I also got a good olive oil idea: they put crushed garlic and rosemary IN the bottle to flavor it. I think I'll get one of those little olive oil bottles and do that at home.
