Cacio e Pepe comes across as a romantic trattoria, where you can hold conversations endlessly over cups of capuccino. Moreover, hip East Village residents waltz in and out lending a sophisticated air to the establishment. Romanticized pastas, sandwiches, salads, and small plates with a cheese overload, are wolfed down quickly. So are gelatos and creamy beverages. Wine lovers will love the selection; the attentive staff are quick to recommend one to complement your meal. Reservations for a group of four or more is necessary.

Going to be a new regular! – Ok, so i've walked by this restaurant for the past 2 years and never stopped. Why? now i'm wishing i had...it took a coupon from scoutmob for me to finally make a reservation. I made the reservation for 8:00 on friday, not something i normally do in the EV but my boyfriend's best friend is in town. Needless to say we got there and it was loud and packed. We did have to wait for the table, but the very nice hostess who also turns out to be the manager offered us chairs in the back and a wine list.... read more
Left the place frustrated and hungry... – I visited this restaurant last year with my wife, and was very impressed. But recently we went back and could not believe how expensive it got. My biggest complain though, was that the portions were TOO small. Goodness, do I have to order an appetizer, pasta or rice, and a meat dish in order to satisfy my hunger?...are you kidding?
Manager,staff,pasta, wine list,garden – This place is a great gem! we were there last night ,it was packed,we did wait a little to get seated in the garden. The staff was a real charm,the manager gave us a temporary seat to get a glass of wine while we were waiting.He was very caring to us,we had a conversation about restaurant business,we have one too in San Francisco. I would love to hire him anytime.Seriously!!!! The evening was beautiful,we tried the famous pasta in the wheel and few different specials.All very simple bu... read more
Surly Manager and Terrible food – Surly manager and terrible food. Visited Aug 2, 2008. Ordered highly touted fish combo in red sauce --monkfish,mullet and shrimp. First two were overcooked, mushy--and shrimp were basically inedible--tough and dry. Tried to suggest to the Manager that perhaps the chef might , next time, not overcook the shrimp. He did not take kindly to this suggestion --which was intended to be helpful, not complaining. Instead, gave us some excuse saying that is the "way it is made", acting extremely uncar... read more
Good food and good wine – There were four of us for dinner on a Wednesday night. We were seated promptly in the beautiful dark room. We ordered some wine to start. Before I tell you how great the food was... I would like to mention that the service was definitely below par. The waiter never checked on us throughout our meal. We had to chase down someone for some fresh pepper and cheese to top off our pastas. A friend asked an entree could be altered and we watched the waiter pretend to visit the kitchen and ask. Now... back ... read more
Unbelievably great food – I just got back from Italy 2 months ago and had (cacao e pepe dish) while in Rome. When I went with 5 other people for my birthday (after much debate) I couldn?t have been more pleased. The servers/managers were the nicest; I was treated like a VIP customer. Not only did I get an on the house champagne, but I got not one but TWO deserts (both on the house) they all sang happy b-day to me one but did it a second time bringing yet another desert with a candle b/c they said it was not loud enough! (The... read more
Terrible food! – This place is terrible! The "homemade" pasta is certainly the kind you can make at home -- out of a box, that is. The lobster ravioli is salty with barely any lobster in it Very expensive for what you get. We really wanted to like this place. Too bad.
Inedible..tasted like Chum – The bf and I wanted a romantic, cozy little east village restaurant, and this place completely fit the bill. Service was great, ambiance was nice with good mellow music and candlelit tables.....then the food came, and thats where it all went down hill. The Lobster ravioli was more like lobster chum served in a canned brine sauce and stuffed into a rubber pasta colored pouch. The bf's beef with artichokes was something out of your freezer; if you topped it with some cheese and threw it on a roll, ... read more
Good, solid Italian – The service here was great, the food was very good (the pasta dishes we had were excellent - the bucatini and the rigatoni), and they have a very reasonable wine list. We also had the bacon-wrapped shrimp appetizer which was delicious. Went on a Friday night and were lucky enough to get a table for two with a minimal wait, but it was definitely crowded. The atmosphere was lively and enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a solid meal with nice atmosphere.
