Nice octopus special. Place is huge. Better places in Newark but they are a standard.

The Carpaccio was delicious. Paella for 2 was excellent. I enjoyed the sangria special made with figs - very light.

Julio Salgado

The Food and the Service was very good 👍 I will Recommend it to anyone

What's Good Here

The lobsters here come in enormous sizes from a "small" 2 lbs all the way to around 5 lbs. Go for the 3 lbs.

The category for Don Pepe's is wrong - it is not an Italian restaurant - it's Portuguese. The restaurant is great and a tradition whenever I go to a Devils game or to the NJ Performing Arts Center.

Peggy English-Vladyka

Not much! We all ordered lobsters at $40 for 2lb and $55 for 3 lb. Dry and rubbery with no flavor.

Porções generosas. Pedimos (casal) uma paella e uma lagosta - só a paella seria suficiente. Com o vinho e tip deu <$100!!.

El Marqués de Murrieta Crianza 2005 es una excelente opción en la carta de vinos
