    We’ve been to this restaurant a number of times and have never had a bad experience. It was one of our favorite places and we frequently recommended it to our friends. Tonight was not that night. Service was very spotty, table not serviced, and our waiter had an attitude. The food was average. It’ll be a while before we come back.

    This was the second time in a month or so that we have dined there. The service was poor both times. The service was worse this time than the last time. I was told there was no outdoor dining available when tables sat empty the whole time we were there. We wanted to sit outdoors. Not sure if we will go back anytime soon. It used to be a really great place. Not sure what happened

    We have visited this restaurant at least three times every year when we come down to Marco Island. We have recommended this restaurant to family and friends. This visit, we had nine people, and it was just not a good experience with the food. I ordered a perfect Manhattan that tasted like it was completely watered down, and our Fritto Misto appetizer was soggy and tasted like oil. The parpadelle tasted like pure tomato paste rather than a very nice sauce. Everyone thought the food was below average and it was very disappointing after having phenomenal experiences many times prior to this visit. Not sure if it’s a new chef or new process, but definitely not worth returning.

    Sal e Pepe is typically my favorite restaurant when I visit Marco Island. I was a little disappointed this time however.I will give it the benefit of the doubt that it was the day after Thanksgiving. The portions were ridiculously small for the price. The beet salad literally had 4 small pieces of beets as an appetizer. Even the pasta dish was small. I actually left hungry. I will be back but may take a break for awhile.

    We sat on the outdoor patio, overlooking the beach, and it was a lovely setting in which to dine. The indoor spaces looked beautiful as well. The service was among the best we’ve ever had, attentive, friendly, kind, and warm. The food was the best we had on Marco Island, delicious! Thank you especially to Vladimir who was particularly charming and helpful! Top experience!

    Let me start off by saying that I love Sale e Pepe but our Thanksgiving dinner was not up to their high standards. It was a fixed menu this evening. The cranberry Bellini’s were wonderful. Appetizers were delicious. Turkey was under cooked and rubbery, sausage stuffing, was dry and over cooked, three thin slices of sweet potatoes for the cost of $115 a person plus a mandatory 20% tip. Three of us did not even eat the Turkey! One of the managers came by and asked how our meal was very politely stated that everybody at the table thought the turkey was under cooked and rubbery. She persisted to tell me that no one else complained!! Not something you want to hear from any manager. In the end they did end up comping us one meal our bill was still over $630. Not sure if I’ll be going back anytime soon.

    Excellent service by Valentin. The Caesar salad was very tasty but small. The veal Milanese was excellent as was my tagliatelle bolognese- a full portion is less than I usually eat at home. The cream caramel was good but very small. My husband liked his affogato with chocolate gelato with decaf espresso. Overall it was a lovely evening. The service was exceptional and we would definitely return.

    George waited on us and he was absolutely fantastic and guided us through the menu. The location and ambiance was so beautiful. Food was memorable and I would highly recommend the Almafi lemon dessert. Only polish point I would offer is the service charge which seems to be like a pooled tipping method; not sure that is fair and better for the employees.

    Consistency is the hallmark of fine restaurants and Sale E Pepe is consistently consistent. Excellent service, wide variety of appetizers (love their melon and prosciutto). Always a number of seafood options as well as pasta. Perhaps the biggest wine list in the area. Simply the best food option on Marco Island. We will keep coming back.

    Loved our pre dinner cocktails at the bar. Enjoyed the sunset. Wine. OUTSTANDING. Delmonico was ok not consistently tender. We did not send it back nor would we unless it was inedible. The flavor was very good. Our servers were outstanding. Next time we are in Marco we WILL come back and try the more traditional Italian dishes.
