Pepenero in Newham

The most blandest food I've ever ordered,Got the mixed grilled fish which came with "3 veg" they were baked potato, steemed carrot and steamed broccoli. In all honesty, this is no exaggeration, there was not even a single herb used to flavor the dish. It was fully plain. I couldn't believe it. My girlfriend ordered seafood paella which had a very strange tasting wine sauce but at least that had flavour. This was a valentines meal. I have not tried any of the other dishes and definitely won't. The garlic bread was OK. Unless you like fully plain seafood, do not order this dish. The portion size was good I suppose and it was grilled well, but would of liked a bit of flavor.

I love this place as they are so welcoming, and their portions are unreal. Initially, my view on their Pizzas was that they lacked a little flavour. But I am all for giving their pizzas another try. The pasta dishes, however, are incredible.

Had a nice Veal Chop and Garlic Bread. Good service & great food. Perhaps a bit more expensive than I would like but worth it for the one time visit.

Excellent service with a very wide selection of delicious dishes. There is ground floor dining area and also upstairs. Average price list. We highly recommend this restaurant and will come back 100%. Note: Risotto Porcini is amazing!

Great food and service. One of the best if not the best carbonara in the UK. just a shame the pasta portion size is not in proportion with the pizza size but for the taste I wool not take away a star..non alcoholic cocktails are nice too. 2nd visit, will come back again.

Every time I visit my sister in London we try and fit in a meal here, so we had a another truly delicious meal there last night after my arrival. The service was great and friendly, they were generous with the parmesan which I love as some restaurants aren't. The food was excellent with large portions which we couldn't finish but we gave it a really good try. The Christmas Dec's are really tastefully done too which just adds to a lovely environment and meal out.

Food was wonderful and the staff was extremely helpful in recommending different Italian items from the menu. I ordered the steak fillet, to be honest I would stick with the pasta dishes, I've tasted steaks better than this, it was a little dry for my taste but the sauce that came with it sort of compensated it. My partner ordered a Carbonara, it look so good and it was tasty. The potion of the pasta is a lot but manageable to eat, although it is quite filling. Full of taste and definitely worth getting. The restaurant has a wonderful, inviting atmosphere, the staff are also welcoming would definitely recommend.

Delicious wholesome food. Really nice atmosphere and the staff are great and real Italians. Real good food this has been amazing overall.

Food was lovely, price is on the higher side as its not a budget eat. Comfortable seats. But we were asked to move table to accommodate other guest which makes us uncomfortable as we picked this place to have a meetup and chat with my friends. On the menu, "There is NO COVER charge, however a discretionary 10% service charge will be added to your bill." We then decided we don't want to pay for the service charge as we don't feel its fair for us to need move tables as we just finished our meals. After we requested for them to remove it, they became really rude. And one of the waiter was saying sarcastically "Oh there is no service charge here" while key in the total in the card machine.

Best Italian Restaurant in the area, my favourite! Big portions. Great quality of food and drinks too! Stuff is always making sure you feel welcomed and happy. Definitely recommending!
