Excellent restaurant- so good that I came here twice in one month. Everything is made fresh from the pastas to the deserts. Really fantastic. The service is also on par - be sure to listen to their recommendations!

I've been wanting to try Cacio E Pepe for a while now, so we decided to celebrate my stepdaughter's birthday here the Sunday after Thanksgiving. The restaurant was completely empty when we arrived at 6 PM. Service was excellent, but that's to be expected when there are no other customers in the restaurant. The appetizers were outstanding and, by far, the best part of the meal. The Cacio E Pepe Pizza lacked flavor. The Carbonara was too salty. I didn't try anything else but nobody in our party was overly impressed with their meals. The cocktails weren't very good either. I ordered a Classic Sangria and it wasn't good at all; too much cinnamon. My stepdaughter had an Espresso Martini and said it was OK. I was really looking forward to dining here due to all the positive reviews, but it failed to live up to our expectations.

First time visiting Cacio e Peppe and we are definitely coming back. They have a kids menu which is very practical for families. My kids loved their pasta! Everything we tried - salad, bread, pasta, wine - was delicious.

The food was delicious. My husband and I both had Cacio e Pepe, shared a delicious salad and Canolli for dessert. Our server, Sophia, was very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this place.

The food was delicious;however the service was a little slow (seemed like our waitress was more interested in socializing with bar patrons than serving her tables) and the music was too loud. This isn't enough to make me stay away because the food was so good but I may consider take out rather than dine in next time.
