I must say, the server Shane was extremely helpful in giving us knowledge on the dishes and also input on historical information on this location .The dishes, oh my goodness, was taking me to Italy. The chef is doing it right.In every bite you taste layers of flavors. Definitely a must if you love great food and awesome staff.

Management was rude, not friendly and intentionally hung up on me while I was trying to make a reservation.

A excellent Italian restaurant. Chef owner operated (he will likely stop by your table). Possibly the best restaurant experience among the many great choices in Traverse City. Book ahead as it is often fully booked for last minute reservations.

genuinely such a wonderful experience all around every time. not only is the food delicious but the staff is excellent. working in restaurants most of my life, i know that allergies and dietary restrictions are not always taken well, but the servers here always go out of their way to make sure i have a great gluten free meal and never make me feel like a burden and it's always so very appreciated:)

I treated my friends to dinner tonight and the service was just as fabulous as the food. Our server was Kateri (Kat) she took great care of us and also recommended some of the food items on the menu. Everything was delish. We are definitely going back.
Thanks Kat for your great hospitality 😁

Overrated place and Aggressive waitress.If you ask olive oil for salad they inform you it’s extra… and even more than this… olive oil and Italian restaurant ? go try and compare with real Italian ones.

We haven't been here in a long while and it is our loss because this was one of the nicest dining experiences we've had in a long time. the atmosphere is incredible. The service is equal and our two dishes were fantastic. One was the pork and the other was a vegetable dish. Both perfectly cooked but what stole the show was a magnificent dessert orchestrated by Monica.

PepeNero has a cool Italian vibe, sophisticated menu and deep Italian wine list. They made me a lemoncello martini, we had a great time ❣️

Pepenero holds a special place in our hearts; it's where my wife and I had one of our first dates during Traverse City's restaurant week. Since then, it has remained a reliable choice for an exceptional dining experience. From the moment you step in, the attentive service sets the tone. We always request Noah, our favorite server, who excels at suggesting wines to complement our meals. While the menu boasts consistently excellent dishes, we've explored them all and now wish for a bit more variety. Whether it's your first visit or an annual tradition, Pepenero is perfect for a special date night or a memorable evening out in TC.

We dined at the “other” Italian place the night before and PepeNero knocked our socks off. We preferred the modern vibe and classic dishes with slight twists. Wine, cocktails and service were supreme as well.
