Peppe’s in Malvern Hills

Excellent. Two meals here during our visit to Great Malvern. Lovely food, very reasonably priced, good choice and friendly service. Well recommended.

Genuine Italian cuisine. My wife and I always enjoy going to Peppe’s and for me, there is the added pleasure of being able to speak Italian! We’ll be going back again soon and hope that the play at the Malvern Theatre will be better this time!

Restaurant à ne pas manquer à Flic en Flac: très bon rapport qualité -prix. Nous y sommes allés 2 fois et allons y retourner avant notre départ. Les pizzas sont excellentes, les plats ( salade poulpes, daube poulpe) sont très bons et bien préparés, idem pour les desserts ( tiramisu maison). Le service est très bien, rapide. Situation: en face de la plage. Merci, ne changez rie!

We had a pre-theatre booking. Menu was very good, enough choice without being too extensive, we both had “traditional “ pasta dishes. Pasta alla Verdura and Peppe’s special tagliatelle. Both were excellent, lovely flavours and good sized portions. The addition of the roasted vegetables was well worth it, I wish I could roast veg that well. The staff were polite, helpful and friendly. I will try and return to Peppe’s next time we are in Malvern. Thank you.

Booked for a birthday dinner, and peppes didn’t disappoint! From them putting a bottles of fizz on the table , asked for in advance, and just all staff being incredibly friendly and welcoming. The staff who served up stairs , from the lady who was super chatty and bubbly! To the young waitresses who really were incredibly professional! Food was lovely! Could not fault it! Great portion sizes! And really tasty! Overall great night! If we are ever back in Malvern, definitely will be coming again!

Lovely food , atmosphere and excellent service.Really nice place.The staff were attentive and the manageress so friendly.Would defo return.

Food was great, cocktails and wine superb. The service was top notch and Peppe was very friendly. Will hopefully be back!!!

Last minute booking - We were lucky - someone had just cancelled. Our meal was very enjoyable. All was excellent and staff friendly and helpful. Highly recommend the fish sharing starter. Scrummy!

Amazing young man as front of house, couldn’t have been more pleasant and helpful. Food excellent authentic Italian which also catered well for coeliacs. Highly recommend

The food was brilliant - very good seafood. And the service from all staff was absolutely excellent. All at an affordable price

as ever, brilliant evening, food , wine, cocktails, service all top notch, but our night was made special by all of the staff, Iona, Isla.. Izzy... and the boss lady, whose name I can't remember, sorry, you were all fabulous, thank you so much

This was are first visit. Great food, efficient friendly staff and lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Great-tasting Italian food with delicate flavours; the staff were lovely and attentive; cosy dining. Highly recommend.

Very good food. Nice cosy scene. Very friendly service and also quick. One of the best places to eat in this area. Truly recommended.

Unassuming modern building on the outside but well worth stepping inside for some fantastic typically Italian fine service with a smile from well drilled, warm, friendly staff. The food was light, high quality, fresh, delicious and deftly made with skill. Lovely romantic evening.

Went with my partner while visiting Great Malvern for a few days. We found the service was good, staff were polite and helpful but the food was below average unfortunately. Seeing all the good reviews we were surprised at this but our meals were a bit bland and certainly nothing special.

Would definitely recommend. Such a relaxing atmosphere and the staff are very friendly and attentive, but not too over the top. The food tasted nice and fresh and authentic.

Our first visit. Nice decor. Professional service. Sat upstairs which was nice. Took along time for the drinks order to be taken, 15 mins plus.Menu was varied. The main course was the tagliatelle pasta Peppe dish. Was supposed to include sausage ?? Tasty, but lacked spice. The cheese for dessert was uninteresting and also needed a chutney to accompany. This is a nice place with good food. Worth a visit but good do better

Went for my husbands birthday. The food was excellent. The staff very polite and friendly. Great to be able to see into the kitchen if sat upstairs. Would recommend a visit.

The food and service was very good, the steak was cooked to perfection, important to book as it's very busy, Peppe the owner is a lovely guy as was all the staff, they were very tentative, ideal for a special occasions, little expensive

Peppe, as usual, your food was incredible. We felt thoroughly spoilt, and every course was amazing. The beauty of your food is the quality and freshness of the ingredients and how it is expertly made into a beautiful dish. Thank you too to Milo and Howie so attentive and polite well done boys x Thank you

went here for our anniversary meal while visiting Malvern recently, lovely little restaurant, very friendly staff and food was amazing. thankyou

We chose this as the nearest Restaurant to the Theatre that served food early enough. We were so pleased with the choice. The welcome from the staff was extraordinary and their attention to us was beyond reproach. The meal was superb and arrived quickly and was very good value for money. What more can I say than. "We will return"

Plenty of gluten free options on the menu, friendly staff and lovely decor. Nice to have an authentic Italian restaurant in the heart of Malvern!

Visited Peppe's recently with friends. Overall a very nice culinary experience. Service was excellent, servers were polite and accomodating. The decor and ambience were lovely, comfortable and very clean. I was impressed by the overall look of this place. Mind you for more mature diners ... that there are several stairs to climb for the upstairs seating area. We were seated promptly and looked after for menus and drinks orders taken in good time. We ordered a couple of starters including the mixed fried seafood starter and mushrooms al dolcelatte. Delicious. The only negative I will mention is the portion size for a £9 mixed fried seafood (Frittura Mista) was getting only 4 small pieces of calamari and one prawn. In Italy for £9 at a good seafood restaurant I would get a mounded plate full of fried calamari. Maybe rethink that portion size as I wasn't happy with the small portion for the price. It was very tasty though. We then got our mains which included two risotto dishes. They were tasty too but very very slightly undercooked risotto. I am Italian so I could tell! Still, we decided to eat up and savour the flavours. Taste won us over. Afterwords we had desserts: Panacotta, Tiramisu and Chocolate Pistacchio Tart. All delicious apart from the tart was extremely sweet. I would'nt even call it rich but just over-sweetened. They were more than happy to replace it with another option. An overall lovely meal and excellent service. I would still return for another dining experience. Thank you Peppe's.

This is a fabulous restaurant with impeccable service and the food is outstanding. Not too big and with a great atmosphere. Food is all fresh and cooked with love. I was particularly taken with the chicken pea frittas. They came out as a little treat but I ordered as a side dish with my gnocchi. Great flavours. My Sicilian Canoli which rounded off my experience was to die for. Can't recommend enough. Just beautiful.

Out this way with work, popped in early evening and had simply the best ravioli I've ever had. Alongside that, made to feel very welcome and service was impeccable.

WOW! Just the best place to go for an excellent Italian dinner. Every course so well cooked and full of flavour. Nothing precooked or microwaved. Ask for the specials. They really are special but really it's all special! You won't be disappointed.

We ate here two nights running because it was fantastic. The food is wonderful and the service is excellent. We highly recommend

Food, service and atmosphere cannot be faulted. The Gnocchi was excellent, my Wife’s Tagliatelle Peppe’s , in her words “the best I have eaten” and the chick pea fritters that were given as a freebie, just WOW!

We went for a pre-cinema meal, visiting the area, and had a really enjoyable meal. The menu has most of the Italian dishes you might expect but a few variations and everything we had was tasty. The staff were very friendly and the service was excellent. And a good price, too.

Excellent meal with friends before theatre trip. Shared starters, enjoyed cocktails & beautiful mains. Staff really friendly & ensured we weren’t late for theatre without feeling rushed.

As we were staying in Great Malvern for one night we decided to take dinner at Peppe's Italian Restaurant. The restaurant is small and has downstairs and upstairs eating areas. The constant movement between the two floors probably keeps the staff fit! The atmosphere was relaxed and the attentive staff made us feel welcome . Following an order of drinks some small tasters were delivered-enough for a couple of bites each and they were good. The starters and mains were delicious. I would certainly eat there again1

a lovely night out, great food, lovely cheerful staff and great service, highly recommended booking is essential as its very very popular

Really friendly staff, and great reliable food. Always a good atmosphere and never chosen anything off the menu that I didn’t live. Definitely worth a visit.

The best meal out we have had in a long time. Great food, great staff, great service and reasonable price. Even changed our table from upstairs to downstairs realising I was using a walking cane. Worked very well for pre theatre dining. Cannot fault it thank you.

We booked based on the reviews on Trip Advisor . When I booked the system initially allocated a table downstairs for 2 hours , around an hour later the system changed it for only an hour allocation . This isn’t long enough to enjoy a...

What an amazing atmosphere & wonderful staff who made the whole evening very special. The food was so delicious & beautifully presented.. we would definitely like to visit when we return to Malvern - absolutely worth a visit if you can get a table of...

We had a wonderful, warm welcome at Peppe's this evening. The starters, main meals and desserts were all excellent. All the staff were attentive and courteous. Thank you all.

Visited for our anniversary, booked originally because the menu has gluten free options. The restaurant is welcoming and friendly. The staff are friendly and polite. The food was just amazing, tasty, well presented. The restaurant was full on a Thursday evening! Just a perfect evening.

A lovely independent restaurant in the centre of Malvern and such a lovely experience. You could not fault anything, great food, great staff and a terrific atmosphere. I have never had such a delicious raspberry cheesecake!! Thanks Peppes 😊

I can recommend Peppe’s . The food and drinks were very good and well-presented, the ambience pleasant and the waiting staff attentive without being obtrusive.

It’s a while since we have eaten at Peppe’s, we went last night for dinner and I was reminded that we should go more often. The place is clean and attractive (nice toilets too), the staff were without exception friendly, efficient and helpful without being...

We have just had a thoroughly enjoyable evening at Peppes. Food and service was brilliant! Good choice of dishes at reasonable prices. Staff were very friendly and efficient. Will definitely return again when in the area and recommend to friends. Thank You.

Warm welcome from Tom for a pre-theatre meal . Can highly recommend for food , service, atmosphere … all excellent. Personal service from Peppe with food freshly cooked to order

Nestled away in a side alley this family run Italian is superb. Four of us came here for a pre theatre meal and could not fault it. The menu is sufficient for all tastes(IMHO) and together with the excellent service we were reluctant to leave...

We ate here for dinner before going to the theatre. The food was lovey, all freshly cooked and very reasonably priced. Great choice on the menu too. The staff were all really friendly, very helpful and attentive, but not pushy. the restaurant is decorated lovely,...

Came in here my hen, me and my friend who was pregnant orderd mock tails, when we got our drinks they were terribly bitter, asked for different mock tails, when the bill came we see were being charged for alcohol, we asked why were being...

Everything was great, the décor, atmosphere and food but the real triumph here is the staff. Obviously happy in their work and very good at their jobs. Bravo!

Small but perfectly formed. Whilst visiting Malvern a recommendation from a local shop owner took us to this delightful, tucked away restaurant. Food atmosphere and welcome superb , highly recommend.

Asked the waitress if they usually hoover the kitchen when customers are eating. She said "what?" as she couldn't hear us over the guy hoovering in the kitchen. We had a table next to the window! Raised this with the manager when paying. He wasn't...

Italian food should taste Italian. Here the food was good but tasted more British, a non-Italian chef trying to make a good Italian dish is what sprung to mind when eating. The staff were attentive, polite and sincere and atmosphere is pleasant, for this I...

Great authentic Italian food- beautifully presented and delicious. Excellent value too - best restaurant in Malvern by far - buon appetito! 😀

Great place to eat. The service was attentive and friendly without being intrusive. The main courses were excellent, really good flavours in all three dishes. House wine was good, as good as more expensive wines I have tasted. The one disappointment we had was the...

Great venue for dinner also good for pre theatre dinner as very convenient for Malvern theatre. Good food and service

Went with my partner for a meal following a trip to the RHS Malvern flower show, I booked a table here after reading the previous trip advisor reviews and we were not disappointed. We had a table upstairs next to a window, the place was...

Guaranteed an excellent meal plus extremely friendly service. Menu and wine list offer a wide range of choices and the independent nature of this restaurant makes it stand out against the normal Italian restaurants on most high streets. Extremely impressed with the food cooked by...

Excellent Italian food and lovely to see an menu without pizzas. Sharing platter was a great starter. Mains were delicious. Recommend risotto! Atmosphere was buzzy. Staff friendly. Decor stylish. There were larger groups upstairs and it was noisy so conversation difficult at times. Location excellent...

We had a fantastic birthday meal at this gem of a restaurant. Very friendly with excellent and attentive service by staff who genuinely care. Comfy and a lovely understated atmosphere. Good menu variety, we all had three courses. Sharing boards to start were so tasty...

Pre show meal for two. Warm reception, friendly staff, small but attractive room. Food was very tasty, good portions. Started with fried prawn, courgette and squid. Pasta and swordfish for mains. Scoop of ice cream, and shared some cheese to finish. Excellent.

We had lunch before a matinee at Malvern Theatre for which we found Peppe's is ideally placed. The food was fantastic, authentic and beautifully presented and the service was excellent. We will certainly be revisiting every time we go to Malvern.

We've visited before and loved it - today was no exception. My wife and I went this evening with our 14 year old son to celebrate our 20th Wedding Anniversary. From the moment we were welcomed and shown to our table the service was superb....

We were on holiday in the area and booked for a birthday meal on back of reviews and it didn't disappoint. Welcoming and friendly staff. Great food and kitchen very flexible as all cooked to order. Ask for shell off king prawns if you don't...

Looks quiet from outside but upstairs has about seating for 25 or so and really good buzz about the place ,pre cinema. Probably a bit noisy with a hearing aid though. Very friendly well trained young staff and the Chef pops out occasionally . Lovely...

Had a pre theatre meal here able to get a table at short notice just lovely food very good service good value for money

Pepes rest was an average place for dinner, portions are just on the smaller side or let’s say a little pricy for the size, not that I want a huge meal but could be little eatra, flavour was good.

Took us a while to get here as it is hard to get a booking very busy and need to book well in advance. Certainly worth it. Lovely staff, lovely authentic home cooked Italian food. How about some home made lemon cello?? A lovely evening...

My wife and I visited Peppe's for the first time this week and we were not disappointed. Great welcome and service from Tom and Charlotte, and we met Isaac at the end of the meal. All 3 were courteous, friendly and professional. The food was...

Great food - the fennel sausage tagliatelle, lobster ravioli and the cannoli were particularly good. Reasonable price - three of us had 3 courses with a G&T each and a bottle of wine for around £150. Fantastic service - the staff were brilliant with my...

We came back to Peppe's and were not disappointed. Service from the staff was friendly and attentive. The food was excellent with generous portions. We look forward to our next visit!

Nice place, nice ambience but mains are very small portions especially the ravioli aragosta. Just THREE parcels on the plate and a couple of langoustine. Could have been double the portion to satisfy a normal appetite. Swordfish steak not STEAKS. Just one thin slice at...

Visited with my daughter and friend. Food was tasty and quick. Lovely friendly service. Little bit expensive than what I’m use to. But a lovely treat didn’t see a children’s menu. A short walk from the theatre which was a bonus.

Excellent front of house service from bar waitress and Manageress ( I think) Warmly greeted when we entered, allowed to sit where we wanted. Efficient, courteous, intelligent and witty. Ordered starters and mains. Food was hot and fresh. Reasonably priced, thank you very much.

We ate here last night and it was superb! The staff managed to squeeze us in as they were fully booked. The food was fantastic; the staff were friendly & professional.

Malvern isn't the easiest place to park or walk around; but once you find Peppe's the world seems better. (improved signage would help) A warm welcome, good beer and wine. Great selection of food. Would have given them 5 out of 5 but food went...

We enjoyed another excellent meal at this Italian restaurant recently during our stay in Great Malvern. We had dined there the last time we stayed in Great Malvern, and once again we had superb food and brilliant service from the efficient and helpful staff. Highly...

Fantastic. Staff were all lovely and friendly, the food was fantastic, well presented, and so tasty. Prices are very reasonable for the high standard of food and service. Restaurant is very clean as were the toilets. Look.forward to returning soon.

Visited here for dinner before going to a concert. Lovely friendly welcome and were seated upstairs in the restaurant. Food was delicious, mussels to start came with bread to dip in the sauce. The prawn linguine was so tasty huge big juicy prawns were perfectly...

This was our second visit to Peppe's, and it was just as good as our first experience. Authentic and delicious food. Very friendly welcome, and excellent service from the two young servers. We even has the pleasure of meeting Peppe himself, who was very charming...

Me and my husband visited this evening, thoroughly enjoyed the food, the staff were very friendly, food was very tasty. Left with full bellies! Would highly recommend the raspberry cheesecake 😋. Will definitely be returning.

We visited Peppes prior to a trip to The Malvern Theatre.The welcome was warm as always and we were shown upstairs to the ambient restaurant. The food was excellent, as always, the service top notch and the overall experience not to be forgotten.

Nice to have a genuine Italian meal from a local independent restaurant - well worth the trip from Hereford - great service and lively atmosphere even for a Monday night

Booked this Restaurant, as was staying in the Town for a few nights. Very busy, almost fully-booked - we sat upstairs - despite this, the service could not be faulted and the quality of food was excellent (hearty portion sizes, too!) GF options were available....

This was our first time dining at this restaurant on our twice yearly visits to Malvern from Somerset but it will not be our last. The staff were very friendly and despite being quite busy they took time to chat and make sure all was...

As always, the family run restaurants are the best. Everything was perfect. The tastiest food we've had in a long time. Amazing thank you

Went to Peppes for pre theatre dinner. Lovely people with lovely food. My husband and I enjoyed everything we ate and will return next time we are in Malvern.

Authentic Italian food, lovely staff, definitely worth a visit. Nice atmosphere too, we thoroughly enjoyed our evening.

Warm restaurant and nice decor . The service was attentive and friendly. We were a party of 4 and every meal was delicious . Excellent cooking . We’ll be back !

Unfortunately, this is the only Italian option in Malvern, the food is average. Service is good though.

Excellent food, surroundings and service, reasonably priced. Three courses all extremely tasty, portion sizes perfect and very friendly, attentive service. A little gem of a restaurant in the centre of Great Malvern. Highly recommended.

Fabulous restaurant & brilliant staff who supported us as a large family party celebrating my daughter’s birthday. Becky was super helpful getting us organised & her team were friendly & efficient. Of course the food was exceptional!

We arrived late (8.30) and asked if they were still open for a table of four. After checking...yes. The service was attentive, professional and courteous, well done young man (apologies should have asked your name). The food was well presented, tasteful and freshly cooked. If...

Fitted us in last minute which was appreciated :) Came for a dinner date with a friend. Asked to return the risotto due to being bland. The waiter told me he tried off of my plate and in his opinion the food was not bland....

This is the first time we have eaten here and we were all very impressed. Staff were friendly, helpful and very attentive. Starters (2 sharing boards),mains (ravioli, gnocchi and sea bass) and deserts (cannoli , cheese cake, lemon tart) were all delicious without exception. Highly...

We were warmly welcomed, seated and drinks orders taken quickly. The service was friendly but professional. The food was freshly prepared and really good. Would definitely recommend

Friendly staff, impeccable service. The food was excellent with a good range or reasonable priced wines. The meal came to less than we expected - very good value for the quality. Highly recommended.

We had a lovely meal at Peppe’s The food has lots of flavour and my wife and I enjoyed it immensely furthermore my wife who is Italian said that the cannolis were real and not just bought in! The staff where all helpful and friendly.

Had a great pre theatre meal. Food and staff were fantastic. Quick enough for the time we had, but in no way rushed. Restaurant was busy with other pre theatre diners, giving a great atmosphere. We had pasta, shared a bruschetta, a glass of wine...

Booked with Peppe's yesterday afternoon and ate there that evening. Food was superb, service also superb, unrushed but there when wanted. My wife enjoyed her large white wine, I had none (driving those country lanes in the dark!!) Would recommend Peppe's to anyone liking Italian...

Visited here a few weeks ago for dinner. Everything about this restaurant was excellent, atmosphere, food and service. Staff were really friendly. One of the best meals I’ve had outside of Italy 🇮🇹
