We had a party of six and unanimously felt the service and food was great! This restaurant is a real treasure! During the pandemic, they fed my family many nights with their meals to go. We have been back a handful of times after that and the meals are consistently good. True treasure in Havertown!

Orange roughy with risotto and anisette was delicious. Only complaint was a little too much pepper. Chicken parm with rigatoni was excellent. As usual, the ricotta cheesecake was outstanding (even though they were out of the raspberry sauce).

We dine at Pepperoncini often and are never disappointed. Steaks, veal, pork chops and always cooked to perfection and if there are any special requests chef, Tommy (owner) always accommodates. 5 star quality in this hidden gem in Havertown.

We had a 7pm reservation and we were not seated until 7:55pm. Then we had to wait to order because they were "short staffed and the kitchen wasn't taking anymore orders." Whole meal took forever, but the food was good.
