 ABBATRAVEL Entry
*09June2016*

Well finally after so long am able to try out Pizzeria Peppino! The place is small and it'll have trouble accommodating a large group. There are probably only 2 large tables front of house, and a alfresco dining option out back.

This definitely a unique place due to the man of the house. He's grumpiness is sorta misplaced. The dining atmosphere is that of pseudo silence, with any request regarding plates/orders/food resulting in merry-go-rounds of who gets to interact with him, which in itself is quite entertaining.

Two Important notes, there is NO English Menu, and his command of the language isn't really there either. Number two important point, you CANNOT Just order his Tiramisu without having having a main.

 Ordered On:
09June2016
Cappuccino x2 2Euros
Sparkling Water 1.50Euros
Salmon Pizza

 *The slamon pizza was a bit blend to be honest and we weren't accustomed to seeing grey salmon. In fact we asked others there to try the pizza to check if it were salmon and confirmed it was. By the texture of it, its most likely to be frozen, farm bred salmon.*
Mushroom Pizza

*Pretty ok*
Seafood Spaghetti 8Euros

*This dish was actually sent back. There's was a strong smell of the bad mussel and giggles around the table on who should ask the old man for a change. Though communicating to him a bad mussel was a little bit tough, the re-fire and a seafood dish without mussels this time round was superb *not pictured* Simple and delicious. He apologized and gave a re-cook for a seafood replacement dish.*
Tiramisu x3 3.50Euros

 *Absolutely worth it. In fact another set's girl ordered a double order of this. The meal honestly did not start out too well due to lack luster pizza selections and a bad mussel in the pasta. All focus hinged on this tiramisu, and I must say its a resounding yes! Nice delicate layers with enough soaked coffee and a relatively light mascapone layer in between. Really nice and very reasonably priced. Tiramisu really turned the meal around and put smiles on everyone's faces. Worth!*

Total Fed3 12Euros Each

The following is a collective review from three different sets, which were there at staggered intervals, decided its best to sit together out of 'fear' of being reprimanded by the old man. Anyway, in comparison to Mario Lino's, the pizza dough here is far superior. Crustier, and not overly oily. The same goes for their pasta which are cooked a better al-dante, less salty than Mario's and a joy to be had.

So although the ordered pizza on this visit wasn't a hit, its really due to the toppings. Stick to the classics of parma hams, four cheeses and you can't go wrong. The pasta are a better bet and the way they do their spinach and mushrooms in-comparison to Mario's are much lighter and enjoyable. Without the cream and beautifully sauteed with plump mushrooms. *Not pictured*

The tiramisu, goes without saying and its worth even a bad meal just to end on a strong sweet note. We don't even know if there's free wifi on site. Don't dare to ask. : )

 *ABBA Contribution*
- Restauraunt is small so don't go in a big group.
- Best pizzas in town as reviewed by others and the tiramisu is to die for.
- Opens depending on Old man's mood and timings. 

Was shared from others that you can't just order his amazing Tiramisu without ordering a main. Guess it may all depend on who's asking. 

Other common joint is Mario and Linos with Hello Kitty Sauce located along same stretch. Click here for review.
