Pepperoncini Restaurant & Bar, Havertown

Good food... Great service... Easily the best restaurant in Delaware County.

OUTSTANDING from start to finish. The staff is by far the most attentive and personable crew I have EVER experienced. It is truly a family atmosphere making it hard to leave and can’t wait to come back. The food prices are reasonable, with the quality of a 5 star restaurant. We found this place through OpenTable as a last minute choice, and WOW! It far exceeded all expectations! Once we had the apps, we knew we made the absolute right choice! Then the entrees came… I had the Flounder Franscaise; amazing flavor light and filling…need this in my life weekly for the rest of my life. My mother in law had the Angus Filet- talk about MELT IN YOUR MOUTH! Enough said on that!!! My husband had the Chicken Napolitano with Spaghetti, great substitute for chicken parmigiana. Flavor through the roof! Cappuccino cheesecake is a must have!! The owner/chef stopped by the table to ensure we were satisfied with the meal, which added that special touch to an already perfect meal and experience! Thank you Pepperoncini! You have a fan and customer for life!

Went to meet up with a friend i haven't seen since ?? It was such a great time .food was delicious the staff was Awesome ...definitely would recommend

Delicious steak, served promptly, prepared properly. Our waitress listened and was friendly and efficient. A little noisy, but overall a great space

Love this family-owned and operated Italian restaurant. Classic Italian dishes prepared with high quality ingredients. Staff is professional and warm. Highly recommend.

LOVED it! Went for my husband's birthday, food is incredible every time, always lots to bring home since portions are so big, definitely worth a visit!

Along with dining there for dinner, we have hosted several small events there and not only is the food incredible but the staff provides superb service! Tommy and Tina are a dynamic duo of delicious, home cooked Italian dishes and service that makes you feel at home. Can’t recommend this place enough !

First time at pepperocini’s in Havertown. Outstanding. Unimpressed with bar seating watching Eagles. However, the meal is one of the finest I have ever had Pumpkin ravioli incredible. The pork chop was THE BEST I have ever had (GF had it). Unbelievably tender and flavorful. Sausage and broccoli rabe spicy was delicious too. We’ll be back and this place is not close to home. Highly, highly recommend

AMAZING. Everything is amazing. I cannot stress this enough. We called for a last minute booking for a baby shower and to say everything was above and beyond is an understatement. Easy to work with, food was top notch (I brought pasta back with me to TN) and cannot wait to visit again the next time I am in the area. Please support this small business and realize their food is AMAZING.

Food was delicious. Have been there for lunch multiple times already and am in love with the filet tip sandwich on a long seeded roll. The side of homemade fresh potato chips are to die for. I could eat an entire plate daily. Chef Tommy is excellent and the place looks beautiful.

Pepperoncini's is awesome. consistently great food and service. Most of the apps and entree choices are elevated above the ordinary menu; they're inventive, delicious, and generous. Chef Tommy is gifted. we recently had a large family birthday dinner here and everyone loved it. our server Nancy was excellent. busboys great. 5 stars!

Recently our large professional organization occupied the entire restaurant for a dinner meeting. Excellent food served family style. Warm, welcoming and very accommodating owner. Outstanding service . Private room and access to the bar downstairs. Definitely will be back again soon!

Absolutely love this place. One of my favorite restaurants. Friendly service and a clean environment. Having ordered the steak, fish and duck among others, the food is always delicious. Pepperoncini knows how to pair flavors and the presentation is terrific. The drinks are well made and they have a good variety of beers. I'm not a dessert person but do not leave without ordering one of their amazing cakes!

This place NEVER dissapoints. The food, service and atmosphere is excellent. It was a great spot for our birthday outing!!!💓 We ordered the cesar salad and vela parm.🍴🍴

Dined there last night... Very impressed. I remember going there years ago when the space was a dive bar... This is a 1000% upgrade! Very nice atmosphere and decor, very friendly wait staff... Nice menu selection and a daily special menu. I had eggplant Parmesan off the daily special menu with rigatoni and Cesar salad. Large portions and very good. I'm not a fan of rigatoni, but these were good. My guest had an orange roughy dish which she said was delicious. I had a limoncello Martini and she had a shot of limoncello. Both were strong..a little too strong. Not my favorite. Overall, very nice evening, very casual atmosphere, non rushed and great service. 👍👍👍

We have had great food at other local places but my goodness this place is over the top. From start to finish the experience and food is impeccable. My husband does not like to go out to eat, well, he LOVES to go here and I am delighted!! All star chef, wonderful service, lovely ambiance, I cannot say enough about how much you will enjoy this meal! BRAVO Pepperoncini! Grateful for you!

Ordered catering for a group of 8 of us and it was absolutely delicious!!! Eggplant parm, chicken napolitano, grilled veggies, caesar salad & a platter of mom's homemade cookies and biscotti. Soooo good!!! Def recommend them for catering, thank you!

Had a delicious dinner with our friends. We all enjoyed our meal. Unbelievable gourmet Italian menu!!! The atmosphere is beautiful and very relaxing. All new interior is immaculate and feels light and airy. First floor has a large bar with plenty of seating, plus tables in the bar area. Upstairs is very cozy filled with tables. The owner chef Tommy was extremely cordial and attentive to everyone’s needs. We were very impressed and will definitely be coming back often. Only one problem, the food is so good, they need to expand their facility already! I’d give it 10 stars if possible.

We had dinner last night for my birthday and we're so glad we made reservations as the place was packed. Jackie was attentive despite being slammed and the only busboy running. Great time as always!

Had a great meal here and will certainly return in the future. Food and service were both fantastic. Although there isn't a kids menu (and few if any kids were there while we were) they couldn't have been nicer and more accommodating to our 7 year old. Made our whole family feel very welcome. Went on a Friday evening, would definitely recommend having a reservation.

An unexpected Thursday night dinner plan. Seamless reservation online, Fantastic cocktails by Colleen and dinner was amazing. We had the specials.. Sautéed Veal over linguine and I had the Pork Chop “Her Way” Both cooked perfectly with balanced flavors. Our server was the best. Been here many times and always had a great experience. Put it on your list.A must visit

My husband and I had dinner at Pepperoncini awhile back when it was on Eagle road. We loved the place and the food. We were both anxious to try their newer spot in Havertown. Tina, our waitress could not have been more gracious. We felt an immediate bond. She loved all of the food there and was eager to help us pick a meal from their ample menu. The appetizers were delicious. The mozzarella and tomato salad was excellent. We loved our entrees which were over flowing with both flavor and Sheer volume. I had the risotto with spinach which was heavenly. Dessert was a huge portion of wonderfulness. A cheesecake with flavors of coffee and chocolate with a smooth chocolate cream. Excellent all around with a delicious succulent chocolate cover. Well done!!! Ann and Ron Krauss

I ordered (take out) the Italian Chicken Noodle Soup. I have never had this type of soup. It was Amazing and the bread was too! Everyone (staff) is so Kind and Accomodating. Definitely ordering this again. Its comfort food. Especially, when you aren't up to par. Thanks Pepperoncini's:) Tom and Tina are the Best.

I just ordered a roasted veggie tray for a party I hosted this weekend, and it was amazing. They created it for me on short notice, and everyone commented how delicious it was. It was a beautiful tray prepared with fresh roasted veggies, and it made such a statement on the appetizer table- so much better than the standard celery/carrots/ranch tray. Highly recommend!!!!

We called for early Saturday night reservations at the last minute and the owner was able to fit us in. We were blown away but the nice decor, excellent food, great food and the attentive owner. An excellent dining experience in every way. We're definitely going back at every opportunity. Try it, you will not be disappointed.

By far the best chef around Delco and Philadelphia. Food is creative and fantastic. Atmosphere is warm and feels like home. Service is top notch. 5 star prep and food. Always look forward to my next meal

Had another fabulous meal at Pepperoncini tonight! You cannot go wrong here! I think I took home more Chicken Parm than I ate (and I ate a good bit of it!) The proscuitto added to the caprese salad was a fantastic touch! Our server, Nancy was the best!!! Thank you!

Really love this place. The staff are super attentive, personable, and fun to be around. The owner/chef walks around and makes sure everyone is enjoying their meal. A staple, always look forward to our next night at Pepperoncini.

Sat at the bar and received impeccable service. We ordered calamari and prosciutto wrapped shrimp for appetizers which were outstanding. For dinner we ordered shrimp Diablo and salmon mushroom risotto. Both dishes were incredibly flavorful. Cheesecake was moist and creamy. All drinks were well poured and enjoyable. Would definitely come back!!!!

Outstanding will definitely be coming back great staff and extensive creative menu. Keep up the great work loved it!!!

First time at this restaurant and it was superb. I sat at the bar and the service was excellent. The portions are enormous for this day and age. Started with the green salad and had the veal chop as the main. There was a loud person next to me; however, it did not matter.

When we googled byob. This place came up. We made a reservation and there wasn't a table available when we arrived, nor was it a byob. Food was very good. Service was also good once we were finally seated. But it wasn't the byob atmosphere we were looking for. It was good but I wouldn't go out of my way to go again. Maybe if I was in the area. But prob not. 😞

Well it was a last minute choice. We had 4 appetizers Two wedge salads one chicken slider and a calamari. The wedges were only average. The dressing was very good again the iceberg was acme quality. The calamari was over done , like dry toast. The chicken sliders was dry and too salty with low quality cheese. Kind of amateur.

We had a table of 8 and liked it that we could sit around a round table that seated 8 comfortably so that we all could hear each other. Food was good. Liked the fact that they had anchovies for the Ceasar Salad (when requested) but the dressing could have been better. Flat bread was very good and we all liked our main dishes and the deserts. We had issues when trying to pay. We wanted to pay with cash and 3 credit cards but were told that no more than 2 credit cards would be processed. R u kidding me?! They said this policy was on the menu. When she pointed it out you could see it but it was written on the bottom of the page and none of us had read it when we ordered. Then after we paid and were about to leave, our waitress came back to us and said "you will probably kill me but we forgot to put the 2 bottles of wine on the bill" and gave us an additional bill. She should have said "I am so sorry but we forgot to add the wine to the bill. Would you mind if we give you another bill?" Unlikely that we will come back.

Priced at center city upscale restaurant price. Food was not on par with the price either. Blackened scallops were either frozen or overcooked. Risotto was undercooked and fish was bland. Had heard great things about this place and was pretty disappointed over all. However, the staff was kind and attentive, so credit where due. You'd be better diving an extra 15 minutes downtown for dinner at those prices. Judging from other reviews, this was either an off night, or we just ordered the wrong dish.

Horrible place. Owner is awful. Service was trash

One of a kind review right here: One of the wait staff followed us to our table and frankly throughout the restaurant to whip out pictures of Mohammed bin Salman and tell me that I looked like him, that he has nice features and kind eyes. And that he didn’t murder jamal khashoggi. Did this in front of my wife. Our actual waiter was super nice. Night was kind of ruined though. Who the hell chases patrons around a restaurant to hit on them in front of their wife using the picture of a dictator 😩😂

Made a reservation with a business partner to discuss a new investment for our business. I’m not sure if it was because we were female or African American but outside of being greeted by the bartender the experience was sub par especially for a 40 minute drive. There was a woman that came to take a beverage order but was not our server, I wasn’t notified of this until I tried to order an appetizer while waiting for my partner to arrive. I ordered Aqua Panna Italian spring water and was told she would have to get it from the basement as if I was inconveniencing her. Neither server introduced themselves or greeted us properly at the table. The actually sever was very rude and short, and quite snappy. There was more breadcrumbs than clams in the bakes clams and they were over cooked so I had to send those back. The server did not offer to allow me to order something in exchange, my partner asked questions about the menu, the server frankly didn’t want to answer or even suggest anything from the menu. To top it off although the bartender was very nice the lemon drops tasted like pure gasoline, not a crafted cocktail, barely any lemon and the sugar somehow was mixed with salt. We tried to change our table to the bar area to avoid mean server. We asked for manager on duty and there was NO MANAGER on a Friday night during happy hour which is absurd. Not to mention how confrontational the server was when we asked for a manger vs showing concern/empathy. She should’ve stayed home. This used to be a place my partner frequented with her husband which is why I chose to have our business meeting there. Needless to say we will not be back. After we ordered our meals we decided to leave. We paid for our drinks and drove 3 minutes up the street to Charlotte’s and had a wonder time. We work to hard for our money and time is very valuable, when we take time to have a business meal we deserve to enjoy the experience and feel welcomed and appreciated. TWO THUMBS DOWN Pepperoncini 😒

Made a reservation for New Year’s Eve (tonight) on Monday for 4 at 7:15pm through open table, and left 102 dollar deposit. We paid 50 dollars to Uber there and when we arrived the hostess let us know we were set up for outdoor seating, outdoor seating?it’s 30 degrees out! They don’t have any kind of enclosed outdoor area, it’s literally two crappy tables out front that look like they’re meant to smoke at. Who would want to sit out side for dinner In 30 degree weather? The hostess told us they had no seats for us inside and blamed the issue on open table, literally took no accountability for the issue what so ever. After I made the reservation I decided to read reviews, my fault not checking before because there are quite a few negative ones about the employees and owners negative attitude, which all make sense now. After the fighting back and forth with the staff we spent 50 dollars again and ubered to another establishment and had a great meal. 2 hours later, 9:30pm I received a phone call from the owner “Tommy” with a terrible attitude, he stated I booked the reservation wrong, blamed open table just like his employees did, then said “all the outdoor seating is blocked off till May” then hung up on me. It’s amazing how little customer service a local small business owner can have and expect to flourish. There’s plenty better restaurants to dine at in area, avoid this place like the plague!

You have to know what to get there. The bartender Tina has an attitude. I got a 42.00 special filet tips blacked with shrimp and angel hair pasta the pasta was not angel hair it was spaghetti and there was 3 filet tips and 3 shrimp. The food in general is not that good Tom the owner thinks he's Anthony's. I would've rather went to Giampino's which we wanted to do. They have baked clams on the menu which they almost never have to offer.
