Pépe Kitchen — Restaurant in Long Branch

I recently visited Pepe Kitchen and had a truly exceptional dining experience. From the warm welcome at the door to the friendly, attentive service, everything felt welcome and well-executed. The menu offered a wonderful variety — we started with the garlic cheese breadsticks (generous cheese, crisp outside and still warm inside) and the “Mac n’ Cheese Stick,” which was creative, indulgent and fun to share. One of the main courses we tried was the fire-roasted vegetable pizza, with perfectly blistered crust and beautifully roasted veggies that made each bite flavorful and satisfying. The pasta also caught our eye — fresh-made, with house-attention to dough and sauce that you could tell. The ambience is relaxed yet stylish. It felt like a place suited both to a casual meal with friends and a slightly more elevated evening out. The open kitchen design let you glimpse the care that goes into the cooking, which added to the sense that they take their craft seriously. My only tip: if you go during peak time, it’s wise to arrive a little earlier to secure a good spot. Also, if you’re a garlic-lover, don’t miss the breadsticks! All in all, I highly recommend Pepe Kitchen — creative, delicious food, a welcoming atmosphere, and excellent service. I’ll...

Wowza! Pepe Kitchen is truly a dairy heaven. From the moment you walk through the doors, you're greeted with the rich, savory aroma of freshly cooked dishes that promise a culinary adventure. Each bite is a delightful experience, leaving me wanting more and more.

The menu is a testament to their expertise in dairy-based cuisine. Whether it's the creamy pastas, the decadent cheeses, or the exquisite crafted pizza. Every dish showcases the richness and depth of flavor that only high-quality dairy can provide. The lasagna, layered with gooey cheese and rich tomato sauce, is a standout, as is their signature tiramisu, which is the perfect balance of sweet and creamy.

The interior design of Pepe Kitchen is nothing short of splendid. As you step inside, you're instantly transported to Italy. The rustic wooden tables, the warm lighting, and the charming décor all come together to create an ambiance that is both cozy and elegant. It feels like dining in a quaint Italian trattoria, with every detail thoughtfully curated to enhance the dining experience.

I'm looking forward to my next...

PEPE kitchen, David mizrahi has done it again. WOW is an understament. Let's start off with the atmosphere Right on the beach indoor and outdoor seating and a wonderfull cool breeze coming right off the ocean. Nothing better Than that.

Now the food. My wife and I ordered 4 items each one was better than next.

First up was the crispy cheese bites. Thick and breaded perfectly and fried to golden brown. Perfect.

Up next was the garlic cheese bread sticks. Cheesy filled pizza dough with fresh garlic. What can be better.

We ordered a personal Margherita pizza. Perfect amount of fresh mozzarella and sauce.

Now the STAR OF THE SHOW (atleast for me) THE MAC & CHEESE. Ok I will say this I HAVE NEVER HAD FRESH PASTA BEFORE. I'm not sure I am able too go back to boxed pasta again. The HOMEMADE pasta was incredible and the combination of cheeses and sauce was perfection.

Highly recommended the drive out here.
