The word ‘authentic’ is thrown around pretty loosely these days. So, let’s get one thing straight – Pepé Italia is, in fact, as authentic as they come. The menu, which spans both lunch and dinner, is brimming with mouth-watering Italian dishes. If you prefer the favourites like arancini, homemade meatballs, a Margherita pizza or a cheesy, pecorino-topped carbonara, then you’re in luck. For those looking to step outside the square, then you’ll be happy to know that the Pepé menu also features plenty of dishes that are a little less mainstream. The olive all’ascolana is a house specialty – crumbed and fried Sicilian olives stuffed with pork, beef and chicken. If you’re up for a feast, or just want to swing by for a mid-morning piccolo and sneaky cannoli, then you’d best hot-foot it to Pepé.
