A relatively new entrant to Italian fine dining, The Pepenero, is a restaurant and pizzeria situated in East London's dynamic Royal Docklands. With walnut floors, subdued lighting, rich vibrant fabrics and floor to ceiling windows, the restaurant lets diners have a warm and leisurely meal in an ambience that is contemporary without being too austere. The classic Italian fare is made from the freshest locally sourced ingredients with a number of house specialities adding that extra variety.

Diners can feast on meals with dishes such as caprese, comprising of sliced beef tomato with mozzarella and basil dressing; calamari fritti with deep fried squid and tartar sauce; pollo sorpresa or chicken kiev and scaloppini valdostana, veal escallops with ham and mozzarella cheese in a white wine sauce. The pizzas which are based on traditional Neapolitan fare, consist of Quattro formaggi with four varieties of cheese and biancaneve, mozzarella with dolcette cheese, salame rocket and fresh sliced tomatoes.

The meticulously sourced and extensive wine list complements the meal perfectly.
