Making Arancini with Chef Justin! The coziest, most delicious appetizer for days like these.

We serve 5 Arancini rice balls over our house pomodoro red sauce, top with freshly-grated parmigiana reggiano, then we finish with fresh basil. Simple, warm, and ready for you to try it out. 🍅✨

In 1955, Dolores and Giuseppe Lanni left Campania, Italy, with their three kids and a hope for something better. To Nonno and Nonna, home wasn’t a place, it was what happened at their table.

Every fall, Nonno pressed wine in the garage, the same way his father had. Every summer, Nonna canned tomatoes for the Sunday Sauce that would carry them through winter. And every Sunday, the whole family gathered. Plates were passed, cards were dealt (Scopa was Nonno’s game), and nobody left hungry.

That’s the story behind our name. Pepp & Dolores isn’t just a restaurant, it’s our attempt to bottle up what it felt like to walk into Nonno and Nonna’s kitchen. The handmade pasta, the family recipes on the menu, and the walls covered in photos like these are all in service of one thing: Making you feel like family the moment you sit down.

Swipe through a few pages of our family album, and look around our walls next time you dine with us. 🍇🍷
