Terrible experience. We went in to enjoy a cocktail before a wedding reception that started upstairs. What a stuck up atmosphere! The food was little, expensive and overrated! Very snobby owner and wait staff! Definitely seems like they are trying to hard. I was even told ahead of time by many peopl...

PepeNero is one of the best restaurants in Traverse City. Although the food and drinks are pricey, the establishment always fires on all cylinders. The food, drinks, service and atmosphere, always exceed expectations. PepeNero properly delivers a fine dining experience.

One of the best meals I've ever had. Thought I should open with that.
First visit. Went during restaurant week.
They included three courses, and we added dessert for a fourth.
For starters, my husband's crab couquette was delicious, as was my Arincina (a saffron risotto with 10 hr bed & pork).

Only reason I'm giving this 4 stars and not 5 is because of how they handled their reservations. I was not in the least bit impressed by that or the attitude of the host. We had reservations for 930p and apparently when you make a reservation it gets booked at a specific table. If the group of peopl...

Another great one in TC. David was our waiter. He was very knowledgeable about all the wines on the menu and had good conversation. The linguine seafood bowl was great along with the Cannelloni. Desert were art with flavor. Glad we could stop in.

We had an incredible dinner at PepeNero! Our server Dorin was knowledgeable on the menu and very personable, which made our experience one to remember. The food and cocktails are worth every penny. Every server was wearing masks and taking precautions during COVID-19. We will definitely be back!

Very beautiful ambiance. Ordered fig & beet salad as a starter. It was beautifully presented but lacked in dressing and flavor. I ordered Casarecce as my entree. This was flavorful with home made pasta, rock shrimp and huge prawn. Then our party tried three desserts...all of which

Excellent entrees. We started with roasted brussel sprouts. My bride had the scallops and I had the branzino. Both had excellent flavor. We finished with tiramisu, Spanish coffee their own mixture of coffee, dark chocolate with desorrano infused whipped cream. Highly recommend this meal!

Oh my gosh how amazing! And they were very serious about making sure our health and safety were a priority (as well as their own). The ravioli was the best we have ever had!! And the tre chocolati dessert was fabulous! Compliments to the owners wife for her creation!

Service was great. The wine list is extensive and very affordable. We ordered a seafood board which was delicious. I had the Gorgonzola pasta which was the best I've ever had. The Gorgonzola is mixed with pears and it is an interesting and tasty combination. My husband got the paparadelle but he did...

I can t say enough good things about this place! My husband and I visited PepeNero to celebrate his 25th birthday and we were treated with such class from the time we walked in from the time we left.

Upscale dining inside the former chapel of the Asylum. Menu was limited but the available options were enough to satisfy even the pickiest of tastebuds. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. In light of the times, it was a great experience and highly recommend stopping for lunch or dinner.

Second time here. Came back to TC, primarily to eat here, and Aragon, did not disappoint. Meal and service were top drawer/. You can tell these people love food. Tip, the Tiramisu looked like nothing I have ever seen before, but was every bit as delicious, and more, as any I have ever eaten. Job...

We had a reservation for 7 people supposed to be in the lounge, at 7:00pm. As we arrived we were seated in the main dinning area, and we questioned this as our reservation was for the lounge. We said we would be happy to stay put in the main dinning area if we could have access to the lounge menu. H...

Above par food, but a highly uncomfortable dining experience. I m not sure if it was because I was young or dressed casually, but I was not made a priority and felt very judged instead of welcomed as a paying customer. For a higher-end restaurant (and for as allergy-conscious as they advertise), I w...

Wow is all I can say. We went to PepeNero based on recommendations from 2 people in our party over the weekend, they had hyped it up quite a bit and PepeNero exceeded all of our (high) expectations. Everything I ordered (I cannot remember the name - but some kind of strawberry smash vodka drink, ...
