There’s a lot to like about Zio Peppe, from the location to the good service. And the bread — oh, the bread and that honey-chamomile goat-cheese spread! The menu is a little beef-centric, but the chef is flexible (and served the ravioli without the chorizo for me). The salmon is artistically plated and has a unique basil/pea coulis, and the taconnoli is an interesting share-plate dessert, with strong pistachio and only a light sweetness. Only complaint would be the processing of my Tucson Originals gift card. The manager noted that it was really meant to be used at the owner’s other restaurant, Fresco, but that they would go ahead and honor it anyway, which seemed odd in that the website clearly lists Zio Peppe as a participant. Other than that, it was a great meal, and we’ll be back.

The Cesar salad was one of the best I’ve had, an absolute must try! The pasta was also amazing! The birria pizza was good, I personally would have loved some purple onion on it.

We were a party of 6 tonight, it was our first time dining at this amazing restaurant! The staff are super friendly and love to talk about the food and restaurant. Chef Devon and his team are cooking up such amazing dishes that are full of flavor and we loved the hint of southwest flavor’s being added to Italian cuisine. We talked to Chef at the end of the night and thanked he and his staff for a memorable experience. Casual atmosphere, order at the counter and then sit and enjoy! Very creative drink menu! They shared their home made limoncello with us and it was outstanding. Can’t wait to go back!!!

This is easily the best restaurant in Tucson! The Mexican-Italian fusion is unbelievable. I’m excited to try the whole menu, but the Ravioli was exquisite! Would recommend to anyone looking for a unique tasting experience!

Absolutely loved this place!! First and foremost, the service was beyond great; We had Kathleen serve us and I think she has to be one of best servers we’ve had; (we eat out very often and for many years, so this is saying a lot)Other staff was great also. Food was so good. I had the Bolognese and my husband had the Ravioli; we enjoyed the twist on both. Toconnoli very good also! Bottle of wine and the night was perfect!

This my our first time dining at Ziopeppe, for Mother’s Day. The service was less than ideal considering it’s a walk up counter for higher pricepoint meals. The atmosphere was terrible, and the service was worse. I ended up being overcharged when I was there (appetizer and drink, $30), which I had to call back multiple times to get refunded. It’s a walk up counter that you pay at so I’m not sure how hard it could to overcharge someone. My mother also asked for advice on salmon vs the steak and the staff was either vegan or had never tried the plates. So if you’re unsure what to order then flip a coin. Won’t be visiting again after this experience.

Delicious and unique food. Went for Sunday lunch. Got the salmon, bolognese, and flourless chocolate cake. The salmon was almost too gorgeous to eat. The pizzas looked amazing. Will have to try next time.

Modest in appearance, but punches WAY above its weight in food impression. Nominally, a pizza joint, but I still haven’t managed to get past all the other items on the menu to actually try the pizza, because the pasta is SO damn good. Great selection of local and Italian wine and some super cool cocktails. This is one of those restaurants that make Tucson such a great foodie town.
