What a gem! We asked ChatGPT where we should eat in Tucson, and it recommended Zio Peppe as a local favorite. We arrived around 3 p.m. on a Thursday and had the place to ourselves. The appetizers, pasta and pizza were all delightful, as was the wait staff. Highly recommend!

Small, cozy establishment but with amazing drinks and food! The pastas are fresh and homemade. Every bite was absolutely delightful. Service was good despite how busy they were. Can’t wait to come back and try their other dishes!

Never before paid $27 for spaghetti for lunch serving! Food was good but will not be going back! $60 for only 2 entrees and one soft drink. We also went for celebration of birthday and anniversary and nothing offered as celebratory dessert.
