Good, reliable neighborhood slice. Gets the job done.To the dude who panned it for garlic bread: that's slum food man, Italians don't actually eat that shit.

The espresso is good, as is the beans, but the brewed coffee is undrinkable. I like strong ass coffee, but this is just bitter.
I really appreciate the free wifi. Maybe I'm getting old, but I prefer the cozier Blue Sky Bakery down the Ave.

I've eaten at Peperoncino twice and had one very good dinner and one OK dinner. Based on my experience, it's a little difficult to believe the previous, negative reviews; the food is basically good, Northern Italian fare. If you're used to spagetti slathered in tomato sauce, the simple Venetian or Tuscan cooking might not wow you. I will say they're not consistent, some dishes are certainly a lot better than others, it pays to order carefully.

Excellent, authentic Italian (not Italian-American) brick oven pizza with the freshest local ingredients. Yes, it's more expensive, but you get higher quality ingredients. I also like that, while we waited for a table at the bar, the bartender let us try a few wines to see which we liked.

Eating in is OK, but I like Bogota more for take out: the Cuban sandwich is very good and comes with fries and a salad for under $10.

We just moved here from Chelsea where Spice was the reigning king of inexpensive Thai, in a neighborhood with at least 7 Thai restaurants. And in this price range, the food at Mango is better: served hotter and with stronger flavors. Some of the interior design decisions are questionable, but I'd certainly go back.
